Is your strategy focused on getting organic traffic from Google?
If so, this might be the most important message for you, all year...
Because Google has gone on record and confirmed that they've rolled out a major core update to their algorithm, last week...
In December, you may remember that I lost 90% of my traffic on one of my sites... (image below)
This was because I was not compliant with what Google wanted after their 2020 algorithm update...
And let me tell you...
It stings when getting punched in the face by a Google algo update...
Which is why I am sending you this email...
But this time, Google's been way more clear about what's coming...
In fact, they've been talking about this update for a while.
Here's their annoyingly boring post that explains it all.
I'll summarize for you.
They expect your site to be fast af.
That's really it.
How do they know if your site is fast af?
Simple, they expect you to pass all of the "Core Web Vitals" and that's the key here.
It's also what I've spent all weekend working on because my core web vitals on my site were TERRIBLE...
Check out where my core web vitals were before I started...
Pretty much a failing grade, right there...
Which means, I'm risking getting punched in the face by Google's algorithm again.
No thanks...
Now, I fixed it all up and you'll learn what I did to accomplish that in a second...
But first...
Click this link below and run your site's core web vitals on Google's tool.
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
I recommend running your homepage through the tool and also one of your blog posts...
And...
If you come out with a grade lower than 75, you really need to fix this ASAP!
Your goal is to get your numbers into the green...
Like I did this weekend:
Ahhhh...
Now that feels better.
Not bad for a few hours of work over the weekend...
But this begs the all important question:
How do you improve your core web vitals?
Simple...
I followed the core web vitals blueprint from my friends Mark and Gael, here:
https://www.milesbeckler.com/core-web-vitals
They broke the process down in simple non-techie terms through their videos.
I followed the steps they laid out for me...
And voila... my site loads faster and, compared to where I started...
Now I feel safe that I'm not going to receive any penalties from Google for having crappy core web vitals.
In fact...
I fully expect my rankings to go up, now...
Which means more traffic and leads!
Because, now that my site is faster, it gives me another little competitive advantage over my competitors who are still loading slow af.
So right now...
If you've been blogging or publishing to your affiliate site with the goal of driving traffic...
You've got 2 things to do ASAP.
Step #1 - Check your core web vitals with Google's tool, here.
If your score is not in the green...
Especially if it is in the red...
Step #2 is to fix your site's speed, ASAP...
