The King of Content has Spoken! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep ... I can also confirm my Medium articles are ranking on Google, often inside 24 hours and often on page 1. It's great and I feel a new enthusiasm ... like I did when I started getting my blog posts ranked back in 2021 (after following Partha's keyword research tactics of course).
I'm going all in on this. Make hay while the sun shines etc.
I'm interested in the CTR manipulation group too 🙂
stop having ALL your internal links with the EXACT keyword of the article you're linking too,
Guilty. Link to my post on "nailed".
Count me in on the CTR project. Just note my time zone is East Coast US... But I am game for just about anything.
@mrdon Hey Don,
That's all good, time zones don't really matter.
Basically, clickthrough manipulation is "let's pretend to be real searchers", much in the same way, SiteComments at WA is "let's pretend to be real searches interested in this topic".
So, all CTR manipulation is we get a number of us on different days to make a search for a keyword + website name, so we're trying to "associate" that keyword with that brand, and although are trying to stamp out this type of manipulation (any type of manipulation really), they are very big on brands, and brand searches.
The software that does means you can be quite "aggressive", but you have to use your brain and play the game, BOOM! LOL!
As in, there's no way a website that's been online for 2 months is suddenly going to get 50 branded keyword searches a day, whereas, a high authority website that's been online for about 5 years can probably easily get 500+ branded kewyord searches a day (somewhere like Reddit probably gets over 10,000,000 branded keyword searches A DAY!).
So, all we're doing is "pretending" we're "real searchers", so "real searchers" would generally come from various parts of the world, and spend differing amounts of time reading an article, and some would click a link, some won't.
Therefore, it could something like:
"Diane you do the search on Thursday, any time you like, spend 8 minutes in the article, click at least 2 links, and if there's a YouTube video on the blog post, watch it for 1 minute 17 seconds. Don, you also do a search on Thursday, spend 2 minutes and 45 seconds on the blog post, watch the video for 38 seconds, don't click any links within the article, but click onto one of the menu items, and then spend 5 minutes 32 seconds there. Lizzy you do the search on Friday, blah, blah, blah, etc."
You get the drift, so we're just mimicking real searchers making branded searches, and obviously it even helps to have a few "fails" in there too, e.g. did a branded search, but left the website after 9 seconds, but didn't click anything else in the search results.
@partha I presume you would set up a spreadsheet for this, that we all had access to, otherwise, it's going to be chaos to track!
@diane That's a really good idea. And I don't think it has to all be done by Partha. If we can get the group together, anyone who is particularly nifty with spreadsheets can create one and then we can each populate it with our days and times.
@lebogang22 To be honest, although I like that idea, I suspect that people would prefer to be told what to do and when, rather than working it out for themselves!
So, maybe have the spreadsheet set up pre-populated for the entire month, and color-coded cells for each day, that people could change when they have completed their task?
Just thinking out loud!
anyone who is particularly nifty with spreadsheets
I work with spreadsheets 8 hours a day so I'm up for it. Could use GPT to spit out the semi-randomised actions members would need to follow.
My only limiting factor is time but I'm up early (5am usually) to get some IM work done before the drudgery begins!
@diane Yep, a spreadsheet could help...
Am I giving the people here too much credit????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are we over complicating THIS??
ONE person has to follow ONE INSTRUCTION
"Go to google, type this website name and keyword into the google search bar, press enter, click on the article in question, bloody read it, that is you DONE for this ENTIRE experiment!!"
ONE PERSON = ONE TIME ONLY
But, if you think people need a spreadhseet to do a Google search and read an article, I'm ALL FOR IT!!!! (How much do you wanna punch me now!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Yeah, but, knowing how to organize something in a group, the hardest part will be figuring out a date for everyone :-p (especially with the different time zones I think)
@partha You complicated it, lol, by suggesting one person reads for 8 minutes, clicks 2 links and another person reads it for 2 minutes, doesn't click anything, etc.
We can't all read it on the same day, for the same length of time, and click the same number of links!
It needs to look random and genuine, yes?
So, people need to know when it's their time, etc
I'm not sure I understand what to do (per CTR manipulation) but I'm willing to participate 
Sounds interesting.
Hi everybody from that other "platform."
