Please introduce yourself and where you work.
I’ve been studying SEO exclusively as a marketing channel for the past 4 years. Through constant trial and error and persistent testing I feel I’ve been able to really crack the Google search algorithm. My best piece of advice for newbies is “Don’t over complicate things!” SEO is a lot simpler than you’ve been made to believe.
How do you think SEO has changed over the last 10 years?
With that being said, Google is still looking for basically the same quality and relevance indicators it always has. While individual strategies have changed, the core pillars that influence what ranks where are the same as ever.
How did you get introduced to digital marketing, more specifically SEO?
I wanted a more stable source of traffic which is why I turned to SEO. While it can obviously take much longer to generate traffic and leads, I have many sites that make me money every single day with absolutely zero intervention from myself.
SEO as a traffic generation method lends itself well to people who are patient and want stable passive income.

What strategy according to you will prevail in 2017 for SEO?
SEO’s get so distracted by the technical details they miss what is actually driving results. All you need to do to capitalize on those 2 ranking factors is figure out what your ideal searcher is typing into the search engine (Keyword Research) and ask yourself “do I have a page on my website that I can say confidently is exactly about that search phrase” (Onpage Optimization). If the answer to that question is yes than all you need is more links from other credible resources than the competition (Link Building).
Do that and you’ll rank every time. If you’re still having problems then look at other factors like anchor text, page speed, etc…
What would your advice be to people who are looking to take up digital marketing as a career choice?
Outside of that, don’t get “analysis paralysis”. That is learning without acting. You need to be willing to test and try things before you have all the information. Remember that “done is better than perfect”.
