- Can you be a bad writer but good at SEO? 
    - Just answer the basic question.
    - Don't get too much into the weeds.
- To draw an apple, go study an apple.
- The secret is hiding in plain sight, i.e., study the pages Google shows you that rank.
- Big guys focus on short keywords vs. long-tail keywords/phrases. 
    - The longtail keywords are good for buyer intent.
    - It's less traffic but better traffic on the longtail.
- At least quarterly look at how your page is doing. 
    - "People also ask."
    - For example, add to your pages answers to questions.
- Don't assume your page isn't doing well.
- Look at your analytics.
- Don't just delete your pages. Take the time to redirect them if they're old and not getting traffic.
- Video is nice because you can transcribe it.
- Infographics are making a comeback.
- AI is finding information and spinning it, so relax.
