ANOTHER BIG UPDATE 🚨

We now own and moderate r/LinkBuilding.

We’re rebuilding it into the best place on Reddit for:
- Real link building case studies.
- Digital PR & outreach.
- Automations & AI SEO.
- Networking with people who actually do this on a daily basis!

We’ll also be running AMAs with industry leaders, breakdowns of campaigns, and link/credit giveaways there over time.

All quietly powered by PressWhizz.

If you’re serious about links and the future of the industry, join using the link in the next comments down below 👇

The best SEO niches for 2026 (if you actually want money) 💰💰💰

- Local lead gen (boring = rich)
- Parasite SEO on authority sites
- AI SaaS SEO (B2B budgets are insane)
- iGaming & finance (still undefeated)
- Non-English SERPs (Google on easy mode)

SEO isn’t dead, organic traffic is still incredibly valuable! Especially in markets that struggle to run ads or can’t rely on paid media at scale.

And the entire SEO industry is expected to double by 2030 👀

Stop taking SEO so seriously!!! 🙌

No site stays #1 forever.
Google updates will mess up your plans.
Links will get devalued.
Traffic will fluctuate.

Take risks. 
Test everything. 
Enjoy the process.

An SEO too scared to experiment is an SEO that never ranks! Like any other investment, rankings aren't something you should be emotionally attached to.

The people who last in this industry aren’t the ones obsessing over every ranking and fluctuation. You’re playing a game controlled by an opaque algorithm run by a trillion dollar company, instability is the baseline, not the exception.

Most SEOs fail because they want certainty in an environment that rewards chaos. They want rules written in stone when the only constant is change. 

And the ones who do often seek out knowledge just end up waiting for confirmation that something works… by which time the opportunity is already dead.

The real advantage isn’t knowing what works today. It’s building the instinct for what might work tomorrow. And that only comes from experimentation, pattern recognition, and a thick enough skin to take losses without spiraling.

Just remember, SEO is supposed to be fun.

90% of SEOs won’t survive the next 24 months!!! 🚨 

Not because they’re bad at SEO.

But because they’re still building for a version of search that will soon no longer exist...

Read this before you "wait" yourself out of business 👇

Google updates don’t usually straight up kill businesses overnight, that has happened a few times, but it’s very rare. Instead, they bleed them out. S

Google Updates Kill Businesses & 90% of SEOs are NEXT

Grokipedia is PROOF that pSEO using AI content works! 

You just need MORE depth and MORE pages.

Still, it's got a ton more indexed keywords than traffic, but it won where others didn't even take off because:

- It covered entire concepts, not keywords
- It built thousands of pages that connect semantically
- Each page reinforces the next

And it had the richest man in the world boosting it's PR, link profile and user engagement signals from day one

Strip away the hype and that last part matters, a lot...

Grokipedia didn’t just launch with good structure, it launched with instant credibility. Real users, real engagement, real links, real discussion. That alone short circuits years of the usual "prove yourself to Google" phase that most pSEO projects die in.

But even without that advantage, there is still a core lesson here: pSEO doesn’t mostly fail because it’s AI content... It fails because people build thin systems and expect fat stacks in return.

This is also why smaller AI pSEO sites copying the surface level approach won’t replicate the outcome. You can’t fake depth, you can’t fake interconnectedness, and you definitely can’t fake real world signals at that scale.

You can build quality, well researched, formatted, indepth, fact checked and user friendly content at scale using AI systems now though! And it's only getting better, and cheaper to do.

Right now, Google's algo is BROKEN! And there are a bunch of ways you can manipulate it without running into many consequences because they switched off or decoupled a lot of the expensive anti-spam systems.

This is the secret freshness recycling SEO technique ♻️

It works because Google overweight's recently updated URLs, especially from sites with high craw frequency.

All you have to do is update:
- The Page Date
- Intro paragraph
- Add 1 new section
- Resubmit in GSC
- Repeat every 60-90 days

You don’t even need new content... You can essentially "bump" old content for free bonus traffic.

It's taken us just over 9 months to get to $1 million in Stripe revenue from the PressWhizz marketplace 📈

This isn't including PayPal, Wise, Wires, Crypto etc... either, which would 6x this number in our first full year! 🔥

That’s:
- 100% bootstrapped, no VC money
- Product first, marketing second
- Organic, brand building > paid ads
- Only hiring A-Players for each department

Most people will look at this and assume it was luck, timing, or some magic growth hack. It wasn’t.

It was obsessing over a boring problem everyone complained about but nobody fixed properly, and the biggest players in the space hadn't innovated in years. 

The first full month was insane - We went from $60k in January to $240k revenue in February. How?

We setup the processes needed to scale first: Sourcing, vetting, killing bad inventory, fixing delivery, tightening ops, adding AI systems wherever possible to scale beyond human capability. So when demand hit, the system didn’t collapse. It absorbed and grew with it.

Revenue dipped. Growth slowed. Things broke... Customers complained. We realised very quickly what wasn’t scalable, what needed to be rebuilt, and where we’d been naive or overconfident. 

We slowed down on purpose. Rebuilt chunks of the platform. Cleaned house internally. Fixed the stuff nobody on Linkedin ever talks about because it doesn’t screenshot well. Margins, workflows, QC, supplier behaviour, edge cases at scale.

And expanded our service offerings based on what customers and the market asked for most; Primarily being AI SEO, a  Tiered Link Building service that actually WORKS and an entity stacking that offers the entire package in one.

The second ramp didn’t feel exciting, it felt inevitable.

Once the product was solid, the brand carried weight, and customers trusted us with bigger budgets, the curve started bending again - And whilst it inevitably went crazy over the Black Friday madness, 2026 is stacking up to set new records EVERY month! 

The best part of all, this proof of concept was the hardest part! Now we have everything prepped, everything ready, everyone in place, we can let compounding do its thing.

We are still early too! Link building is only set to grow massively over the next few years, and it'll be the only way to truly feed AIs at scale.

Time to hit $1m/mo next! 🙌

I managed to hit 90,000+ followers on X, just a few years in to going all in on my account. Thank you to every one of you following me on here and there 🤝 

From memes to parasite plays, leaks, wins, losses and receipts... Still building, still learning, still breaking things.

Appreciate every follow, reply, DM, lurker & hater.

I will never stop in my pursuit to be the best source of REAL SEO.

100K loading… 🚀

I had an old consulting client DM earlier in the week because his money site had tanked from the December update.

I gave him good & bad news.

Bad news first: His site had dropped from $20k/mo to $3k/mo and probably wouldn't even be able to recover until the next core update (~6-9 months).

Good news: Black hat & Parasite SEO are easier than ever right now! Go buy and build a Reuters press release for your target term...

No backlinks links, no social signals, no internal links - Just a short, optimized article and a CTA to your main offer.

Just 2 hours and 20 mins after it went live and it was Page 1 for his main term already! His main site which he'd invested $100,000s and countless man hours got beaten by a page that cost $1,000 and took 15 mins to create.

Authority and distribution matter far more than effort, history, or how emotionally attached you are to a domain. That’s the reality most people don’t want to hear, but it’s also the opportunity.

This is the most flexible SEO environment we’ve had in years if you’re willing to think tactically, move quickly, be open to new techniques and stop treating one site as your entire business or having blind faith that Google will do the right thing - It won't.

Go make money whilst it is literally THIS easy to do so!

Two years ago, folks still believed the SEO industry was over... And yet here we are, with more growth than ever before! Never in my career have I ever seen such interest & investment from C-Suite at the biggest companies in the world.

The industry is on track for ~$200B by 2030! Not from bloggers pumping listicles, but from enterprises, AI-powered tooling, and SEO becoming infrastructure.

And the amount of people that have left or given up over AI is staggering, but also less competition for the rest of us.

What’s left (hopefully) is a smaller, smarter, better capitalized industry with closer connections.

If you’re still here, still learning, you are not late. 

You’re early, again 🙌

Looking forward to speaking at BrightonSEO this April 🇬🇧

I’ll be sharing insights from analysing the 1.5M+ outreach emails we sent last year across link building and digital PR - What this data tells us about where links and visibility are heading as AI-Powered search summaries move to becoming the default.

Should be an interesting presentation for anyone working in SEO, PR, or outreach at scale.

I'm sending them a new headshot soon! 😅

Building AI Visibility, Authority & Links at Scale | CMO @ PressWhizz | GEO, SEO & Search Beyond Blue Links

You don’t fight the algo in SEO.

You build for whatever it is favouring.

And Reddit has been the most favoured site for a while!

So, we took control of r/linkbuilding at the start of 2026.

Results so far:
- 55k monthly Reddit visits
- $15k/mo organic traffic value
- Huge boost in new user signups
- AI visibility (ChatGPT / Perplexity citations) increased by 500%+
- Now ranking for multiple keywords with own brand and the sub

Reddit isn’t stealing your traffic...

It’s offering you distribution + authority on a silver platter, and you can often rank with posts that are 3-10x smaller than what you'd need for your own site.

This opportunity has been staring everyone in the face for the last several years now...

Most people are just too proud (or scared) to take it.

PDFs rank disgustingly well right now...

Use cases:
- Reports
- Guides
- Statistics
- Manuals

They aren’t scored the same as HTML pages, so they barely touch your site wide quality score/signals.

And PDFs have minimal competition, they tend to naturally attract links over time and even fewer spam checks too!

There are also a bunch of decent parasites you can host them on, so if your own page won't rank, just convert it 📄😈

- Paid Links
- Guest Posting
- Press Releases
- Private Blog Networks (PBNs)

SAVE THE DATE! MY FIRST WEBINAR OF 2026 🚨

I'll be releasing my FIRST EVER full length Black Hat SEO Training LIVE in just six weeks time 🎩

I'll be doing a FIVE HOUR long presentation on every technique in my private arsenal, real world case studies, step-by-step tutorials, a Q&A and even a special guest who will be showcasing a strategy he invented 👀

This is the exact stuff I actually use day to day when rankings matter, money is on the line, and I'm trying to maximize my own ROI.

This is not beginner friendly. There will be no fluff, no moralising, and no pretending Google plays fair. 

If you’re already ranking and want leverage, if you’ve been hit and want recovery options, or if you’re tired of doing everything "right" and getting beaten by people who don’t care about the rules, this is for you.

Details, access, and the full breakdown are coming very soon. Seats will be limited and this will not be replayed endlessly or watered down later.

If you want in, COMMENT "CODEX" and I'll DM you early bird access next week, as well as a FREE technique tip to get you going...

My team made some new ad creatives today, I think this is my favourite so far 😂🤣

🚨 BREAKING: My teams research is showing a significant uptick in reconsideration request REJECTIONS.

From our data, this does not seem random either.

Google has either switched to a new system or significantly raised the bar on reversals.

We’re seeing sites that:
- Mass deleted tens of thousands of pages
- Replaced entire teams, topics & policies
- Fixed every technical issue known to mankind
- Disavowed tens of thousands of referring domains

And sometimes all of the above!

…still getting stone cold rejected.

It looks like manual actions are becoming semi-permanent punishments, not speed bumps. Google is likely now using rejections as a deterrent, not just a filter anymore...

Google isn’t asking "Did you fix it?" anymore.

They’re asking "Should we ever trust you again?"

And in many cases, the answer is now no.

My best bet is they've instituted some sort of AI system (considering they fired all the manual reviewers and a lot of quality analysts) that either now looks at much broader data, or like YouTube, is a complete piece of 💩.

Some years don’t reward you.
They prepare you.

The hardest years
quietly build the strongest versions of you. 
 
Trust the process you survived.

Here’s something I learned later than I should have:

Being good isn’t always enough.

You can do solid work.
Hit the goals.
Show up prepared.

And still feel overlooked.

For a long time, I thought the answer was:
Work harder
Be more patient
Prove myself longer

But that wasn’t it.

The truth is, skill only compounds in the right environment.

In the wrong place:
Good work gets normalized
Extra effort becomes expected
Your ceiling gets set for you

In the right place:
Your strengths make sense
Your growth gets noticed
Your value actually increases

This isn’t about ego.
It’s about alignment.

Sometimes the problem isn’t your ability.
It’s the room you’re in.

And leaving isn’t quitting.
It’s choosing a place where your work can breathe.

People call it luck.
They don’t see the attempts.

What looks like "overnight success"
is usually years of quiet failure stacked on top of each other.

Missed shots.
Rejected ideas.
Campaigns that didn’t land.
Pitches that went nowhere.
Work that never made it past the draft.

That part rarely gets shared.

But here’s the truth most people skip:

Progress doesn’t come from getting it right early.
It comes from being willing to get it wrong repeatedly.

Every win is just a failure that stayed long enough to learn.
Every breakthrough is built on things that didn’t work first.

So if you’re in the messy middle right now:
trying, 
testing, 
tweaking, 
doubting 

You’re not behind.
You’re doing the work.

And that work compounds.

Don’t call it luck.
Call it reps.

Passion isn’t extra.
It’s the multiplier.

I’ve seen average work win
simply because someone cared more than expected.

Same role.
Same tools.
Different energy.

People feel that.

You can’t fake it.
And you can’t outsource it.

As Christian Dior put it:
Whatever you do - do it with passion.

Every logo tells a story.
But not every logo speaks the same language.

Each style carries its own purpose, personality, and visual strategy —
from simple symbols to expressive characters.

Understanding the 7 logo types helps brands choose how they want to be seen and remembered.

🖼 Pictorial
Instant recognition. One symbol becomes the brand.

🔤 Lettermark
Simplicity wins. Ideal when the name is long but memorability matters.

✍️ Wordmark
Clarity first. The name is the brand, powered by typography.

🔗 Combination
Maximum flexibility. Text builds trust, symbols scale everywhere.

🛡 Emblems
Heritage and authority. Feels established and timeless.

🔺 Abstract
Meaning over literal form. Global, adaptable, open to interpretation.

🙂 Mascot
Emotional connection. Brands feel human, friendly, and memorable.

A strong logo isn’t about following trends.
It’s about choosing the visual language that fits your brand’s voice, audience, and ambition.

👉 Skills matter, but a positive attitude matters more.

You can’t build a great culture with negative energy, no matter how talented your team is.
(Credit: Dr. Kevin Ham)

When building a team or scaling a business, many focus solely on talent. 
But here’s a hard truth: 
Skills without the right energy are like a beautiful car without fuel.

Working with talented people who carry negative energy can drain your motivation and damage your company culture. 

It’s easy to overlook this because their expertise shines, but the cost is real—
↳ Morale drops
↳ Trust erodes, and 
↳ Innovation stalls.

On the other hand, kind people with positive energy are priceless. 
They bring solutions instead of complaints, 
Collaboration over competition, and 
Momentum to every project.

Their positivity can inspire others and elevate your team’s performance.

Remember: 
You can teach skills, but you can’t teach someone to be kind or to bring positive energy into a room. 

Choose your collaborators wisely. 
Build a team based on values, energy, and the human heart, and success will flow naturally.

Focus on who people are, not just what they do. 
That’s where true success begins.

♻️ Repost to share the positive energy!

Success isn’t just skill.

It’s discipline.

10 things that require zero talent:

 1. Showing up on time
 
 ↳ Being late is a choice. So is being reliable.
 ↳ Punctuality shows respect for others and yourself.
 
 2. Giving full effort
 
 ↳ No shortcuts. No half-measures.
 ↳ If you’re going to do it, do it right.
 
 3. Having a strong work ethic
 
 ↳ Talent without discipline is wasted potential.
 ↳ The hardest worker wins in the long run.
 
 4. Bringing positive energy
 
 ↳ Be the person others want on their team.
 ↳ Energy is contagious. Choose wisely.
 
 5. Staying prepared
 
 ↳ Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.
 ↳ You'll raise to your level of preparation.
 
 6. Going beyond expectations
 
 ↳ The bare minimum gets you nowhere.
 ↳ The extra mile has no traffic.
 
 7. Keeping an open mind
 
 ↳ Be coachable. Feedback isn’t criticism, it’s growth.
 ↳ The moment you stop learning, you start declining.
 
 8. Showing professionalism
 
 ↳ Your attitude is your business card.
 ↳ The way you do anything is the way you do everything.
 
 9. Maintaining strong body language
 
 ↳ Confidence is seen before it’s heard.
 ↳ How you carry yourself sets the tone.
 
10. Being kind
 
 ↳ Tough and kind aren’t opposites.
 ↳ Long-term success is built on relationships.
 

You don’t need talent to master these.

Just discipline and a decision.

The #1 thing that separates the best CEOs from the rest:

It's not their vision.
It's not their strategy.
It's not even their intelligence.

It's 6 decisions they make every single day.

Most people think being a CEO is about the big moves.

The acquisitions.
The product launches.
The inspiring speeches.

I used to think that too.

But after years of leading teams, I've learned the truth:

Your company is shaped by the small decisions you make repeatedly.

Not the ones that make headlines.

The ones nobody sees.

Here are the 6 that matter most:

1️⃣ Who you hire

One wrong hire drains everyone around them. One right hire elevates the entire team. No decision compounds faster than this one.

2️⃣ Who you fire

Keeping the wrong person is a decision too. Every day you wait, your best people are watching. And wondering why.

3️⃣ What you tolerate

Low standards spread like wildfire. What you accept today becomes normal tomorrow. Culture isn't built by what you say. It's built by what you allow.

4️⃣ What you say no to

Every yes costs you something. Strategy isn't just what you choose to do. It's what you choose NOT to do. Protect your focus like your future depends on it.

5️⃣ Where you spend your time

Your calendar never lies. It reveals your real priorities. If it doesn't match your goals, nothing else will.

6️⃣ Who you are when things get tough

Pressure doesn't build character. It reveals it. Your team will forget the wins. They'll never forget how you made them feel in the hard times.

You're already making these decisions.

Whether you realize it or not.

Every person you keep is a decision.

Every meeting you attend is a decision.

Every behavior you tolerate is a decision.

The question isn't whether you're making them.

It's whether you're making them on purpose.

The best CEOs don't leave these to chance.

They treat them as sacred.

Because they know the truth:

Your company will never outgrow the standards you set at the top.

Which of these defines a CEO's legacy most?

The best thing you can do in 2026 is to NOT set resolutions.

There’s a reason why our New Year resolutions disappear by February.

Because they’re focused on the outcome; with factors outside of our control.
So we turn the focus inwards.

Want to publish a book?

Don’t set that goal. 
Instead, set a habit of writing everyday.

Want to lose weight?

Don’t set a target weight. 
Instead, set a habit of working out everyday.

Want to get a great job?

Don’t set a job goal. 
Instead, set a habit of connecting with people on LinkedIn and Twitter everyday.

May 2026 be YOUR year.

Where you live it on your terms, at your pace, to your strengths.

May you fall in love with yourself.
And see yourself for what you always were.

YOU.

Not anyone else.
Just authentically you.

Wish you all a very Happy New Year!
