Google is the number one visited website with a little over 92.5 billion visitors each month. YouTube isn’t even close after that sitting at a little over 34.6 billion monthly visitors. This means that it is extremely important to focus on the core SEO processes Burton outlines in his presentation. Let’s jump right into what Burton says is essential when providing SEO for clients. #### Core SEO Processes Outlined by Burton: - Good External Credibility - Good User Experience - Good Site Structure - Good Page Speed - Good Content - Good Design Having these six core SEO processes and principles in mind, any client we help rank naturally in search results will naturally rank higher and will withstand future algorithm updates. Burton goes on to explain how these six core SEO principles play into the previous algorithm updates on Google. ### How Do Google Algorithmic Updates Impact SEO? For those of you who do not remember, Penguin was an algorithm update pushed out by Google that devalued spammy backlinks, increased the value of relevant links, and focused on quality of links over quantity. “Penguin had an overnight impact on businesses and clients who focused on quantity over quality. Those who focused on the long game of acquiring quality links remained on the straight and narrow path to success.” ![Penguin - Damon Burton](https://www.utahdmc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Penguin%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png?width=2174&name=Penguin%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png) Now, how do these three updates play into the six core SEO principles Burton previously outlined? It produced good external credibility for sites. ![Penguin Results - Damon Burton](https://www.utahdmc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Penguin%20Results%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png?width=2172&name=Penguin%20Results%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png) Another example Burton mentions is Panda. Panda was a Google search engine update that focused mainly on value-added content, original content, and quality of content over quantity. Many were found searching a keyword, finding a high-ranking piece of blog content, and copying it just to end up creating duplicate content for their own website to piggyback off of previously ranking content. This was not a strategy that Google valued and it did not follow the six core SEO principles outlined by Burton. ![Panda - Damon Burton](https://www.utahdmc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Panda%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png?width=2172&name=Panda%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png) What core SEO principles did these three changes mainly focus on? Panda was designed to weed out bad content and emphasize good content. Burton says, "Out of all the clients we've worked with, not one client has been negatively impacted by algorithm updates due to us focusing on the core SEO processes." ### Isn’t SEO Dead or on the Verge of Dying? One question that was posed during the presentation was, “But isn’t SEO dead or on the verge of dying?” Burton responded with, “no, and it never will unless Google goes 100% paid, which will tank their credibility.” Paid ads may have their place, and move the needle when it comes to generating traffic to a website, but the number of web visitors by channel in a study performed by Conductor was marginal. ![Paid ads are huge but tiny - Damon Burton](https://www.utahdmc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Paid%20ads%20are%20huge%20but%20tiny%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png?width=2166&name=Paid%20ads%20are%20huge%20but%20tiny%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png) According to Conductor, only 6% of web visitors come from Paid Search. [64% of web visitors come from Organic Search results](https://www.conductor.com/blog/2014/07/organic-search-actually-responsible-64-web-traffic/). Paid ads may be able to provide an initial increase in web visitors, but it isn’t made for the long run. Recent shifts in focusing on different digital marketing pillars such as paid ads to search engine optimization have been happening more often in recent years. Have you ever heard of banner blindness? Banner blindness is caused by Google placing advertisements at the top of a search results page so often that the customer scrolls right past them to get to the trusted natural search results. According to a study performed by Backlinko, [“the top 3 Google \[organic\] search results get 75.1% of all clicks.”](https://backlinko.com/google-ctr-stats) ![Banner Blindness - Damon Burton](https://www.utahdmc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Banner%20Blindness%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png?width=2172&name=Banner%20Blindness%20-%20Damon%20Burton.png) Paid ads can be distracting and disrupt a natural process from both an advertiser’s and customer’s perspectives. The buyer intent of a paid ad is different from that of a natural search result. The buyer’s intent behind a natural search result comes from a real intent of wanting to learn or seek out a product. Customers are getting sick of having ads being in their faces all day long and are moving more towards natural search results. SEO can solve buyer intent issues and ad fatigue from both an advertiser and customer perspective. ### Conclusion As Burton previously has said, “SEO is not dead, \[and\] not one client \[will be\] negatively impacted by algorithm updates due to… focusing on the core SEO processes." This will provide the best opportunity for clients to naturally rank higher in search results and become truly successful in the long run. Also, just to show Damon practices what he preaches, take a look at a [recent blog post](https://www.damonburton.com/how-i-grew-my-business-by-10-in-one-day/) on his site discussing how he grew his business by 10% in one day (the 24 hours after this Utah DMC event). He states: > Goodness attracts more goodness. Positivity is infectious. One win welcomes more wins. > Do something meaningful and it will ripple on its own. Don’t look for rewards in perfection, but persistence. [Utah DMC](https://www.utahdmc.org/) is thrilled to see this post from Damon, and we are happy we were able to introduce him to a new audience.
