Diggity Marketing SEO News Roundup — January 2020
A new year may be upon us, but we’re not quite done reflecting on the last one just yet. It was filled with news and advice you need to know if you’re involved in SEO or affiliate marketing.
What news was that? Well, have I got a roundup for you.
We’ll start with the top guides. In this month’s collection, you’ll find a beefy guide to SEO in 2020 and a list of mistakes to avoid when managing an outreach team. You’ll also learn from well-illustrated examples of successful amazon affiliate sites and content.
After that, make sure you catch the month’s most intriguing case studies. Learn what the research has to say about where blogging is going, the meaning of last year’s biggest trends, and how one source says you can come out as a winner of every algorithm update.
Finally, we get to the headlines. Google made some important announcements last month that are definitely worth checking out. They include a report on all the biggest search trends, a clarification on when to disavow unwanted links, and the rollout of neural matching to all local searches.

Case Study: Should you Put Display Ads on Affiliate Websites?
You like money, right? Do you like cashing in a second time on websites and content you’ve already developed? I sure do, that’s why I designed a case study to determine whether it’s possible to turn a healthy affiliate site into a better earner by monetizing it through display ads.
I get it, you’re immediately skeptical, right?
Of course, you are. Multiple income streams are always awesome, but why would you ever monetize a site in a way that might get in the way of how it pays you now? Most affiliate marketers shun ads because their sites make money by drawing people directly to affiliate links, not ads.
People on the affiliate side rightfully ask: Won’t ads distract people away from the links to my affiliate products? Won’t I lose the precious trust of my readers? Will my site load slower?
Those concerns are exactly what I set out to test in this latest case study.
In the following article, you’re going to learn what effect the introduction of ads had on load time, traffic, earnings, and other site growth factors.
Finally, you’ll walk away with a definitive answer on if display ads are a valuable addition to your affiliate content sites.

‘Tis the season of giving, and I’m getting started early. No need to listen for reindeer on the rooftop, because I’ve got a bag of gifts rights here.
Inside is everything you need to catch up on the last month in SEO.
Some informative guides from the last month are up first. Discover and dive into ten free keyword research tools (that aren’t Google Planner), my video review of my friend’s site Survival Front, and a breakdown of why you don’t need to worry about voice optimization—yet.
Then, mix up some egg nog and brandy and settle in with the month’s comprehensive case studies. You’ll learn what the data says about whether you’re making SEO too complicated, and whether you should be using GA or GSA for the most accurate image search traffic readings.
Finally, throw out the nog and boil some fresh water, because this month’s news is going to be all about sippin’ the tea . Learn about Google’s human “help” and how they feel about absolute vs. relative internal links. Then, enjoy an insider’s perspective on what went down at Chiang Mai SEO Conference 2019.
