Transcription
Spencer: Hey everybody. Welcome again to a different episode of this week in area of interest pursuits information. And it is a big episode as a result of 1000’s of Google search paperwork have leaked. And a variety of these API paperwork, as they’re referred to as, kind of reveal lots concerning the Google search algorithm and the way search engine marketing works, I might name it unprecedented.
Extra data has been leaked than ever earlier than. And so we’ve got a variety of perception. into how search works and the way Google is programmed. Though circuitously, these are supporting paperwork with a variety of notes concerning the algorithm. It supplies a ton of clues, like I mentioned, greater than we have ever had earlier than.
And so that actually is the principle story that we will soar into. We have a response from official, you recognize, Google spokesperson speaking about this leak. Google has confirmed that these supporting search paperwork are legitimate. That is an precise leak. Um, and so we will dig into it. We’ll dig into what does this imply for publishers?
search engine marketing? And a giant one is what does this inform us concerning the historical past of Google? And the lies, the issues that they’ve mentioned they do not have a look at that they really do have a look at. Okay. And so we’re gonna soar into every of these objects, issues that they are utilizing to rank web sites that not less than they’ve supporting paperwork.
Their their algorithm is kind of laid out in a method that All of this stuff. And in order that’s the place we will spend the majority of our time right here at this time. Uh, however towards the tip, we’re going to, Jared and I are going to leap in and discuss our personal facet tasks that we’ve got happening. We’ll discuss a bizarre, a few bizarre area of interest websites.
Uh, hold it just a little bit extra enjoyable and lighthearted in the direction of the tip, however we will begin with the heavy stuff. So having mentioned that Jared. Welcome to the present. The way you doing this week?
Jared: Oh boy. The WikiLeaks, the Edward Snowden of the search engine marketing business. Right here we go. I am properly, and I am glad I am again dwelling to do that one since you’re proper.
That is going to be a giant podcast. I do not know the way we will match all of it in our common time.
Spencer: Proper, precisely. There’s lots to cowl, um, a ton to cowl. Um, so. I’ll simply give a shout out to Mike King of iPollRank. com and Rand Fishkin of SparkToro. com. Um, lots of people know Rand Fishkin has been within the search engine marketing world for a very long time, however truly sort of left the day after day kind of search engine marketing world, if you’ll, a few years in the past.
Uh, however any individual. Uh, and we’ve got his title now. I haven’t got it pulled up in entrance of me, uh, for the time being. Um, yeah,
Jared: if you need,
Spencer: yeah, he is, he is the one that really leaked, um, kind of these paperwork and he gave it to
Jared: me.
Spencer: I heard a Zimi.
Jared: Yeah. I hope I am doing that appropriately.
Spencer: Yeah. Um, he is any individual that is been within the search engine marketing business.
And apparently there was, I will not go into all the small print, however apparently there was clearly some kind of mistake. They saved these API documentation on a public repository that anyone may entry, uh, as an alternative of privately. So Google themselves makes errors that run by staff. And whereas they have been up publicly.
Um, any individual was in a position to copy all these and now it is basically all public data, though they’ve tried to make it non-public, uh, since that time. Um, so, um, however what these are, once more, are supporting paperwork to their algorithm, basically like a giant GitHub repository, proper? GitHub is a spot the place.
, you set all of the code to a search algorithm or every other kind of software program, um, product, after which there will be a variety of supporting paperwork that specify. Okay, this is what this code means. This is what this a part of the code means. Yada, yada, yada, yada. And since Google search is so huge. There’s like 1000’s of supporting paperwork.
So we’re speaking about, I believe it was 14, 000 supporting paperwork. So this isn’t a small leak. So to, to kind of
Jared: technical paperwork, um, and I, yeah, 14, 000. What was that? No, that one was one thing. Yeah, these are big.
Spencer: Yeah. 14, 000 attributes or one thing like that. Yeah, precisely. Um, so, so, so that is big.
That is greater than like, you may simply learn over a weekend, proper? Like simply to learn via all of it after which not to mention kind of interpret what all of this implies. Um, so, so Mike, he stayed up for like 48 hours over the weekend. Um, and others digging into what all of this implies, as a result of it, it is partially like in code.
It simply says, okay, there’s like a reference for. It is name it web page rank, proper? After which web page rank does this. And it simply, it does not truly like, um, give the code itself. It is once more, simply notes concerning the code. And so there’s lots to cowl. We’ll, it is going to be, you recognize, kind of, um, A few of its floor stage, however we will try to draw a variety of conclusions for what this implies for the search engine marketing business and what this implies for small publishers particularly.
People who perhaps have been hit by the useful content material replace or different algorithm updates or folks which were listening to Google all through the years. And, um, perhaps we are able to shed some mild on, you recognize, have been they really being correct? So having mentioned all that once more, I am simply sharing the display of, um, my king from I pulled rank, uh, dot com secrets and techniques from the algorithm.
Google search inside engineering documentation has leaked, and I might advocate that you just learn this complete article. It’s fairly prolonged. Um, however there’s a number of issues that I simply wish to pull out, uh, on prime. I believe it kind of simply is smart to hit, hit them exhausting. Proper? Let’s, let’s hit Google exhausting. The, you recognize, as he says, the API docs reveal some notable Google.
And so let’s simply contact on these, uh, as a result of all through the years, many Google spokespeople have mentioned, no, we do not have something like area authority or no, we do not have something, you recognize, about X, Y, Z, uh, these paperwork. Make it very clear that they do have one thing like area authority and different issues that we will hit on a number of of these.
So for a lot of, you recognize, years they mentioned, no, we do not use something like a site authority. , Moz has a site authority. Uh, Ahrefs has a site ranking, however internally we do not use something like that. The authority of your area does not matter. Properly, seems it truly does matter, proper? It is not referred to as area authority, uh, however within the paperwork it has one thing referred to as website authority, proper?
And so we are able to see that they do certainly use one thing referred to as website authority, uh, that we all know undoubtedly. Performs into the search algorithm, uh, total, um, one other factor that they mentioned is we do not use clicks for rankings, proper? However, uh, alongside the way in which, we have coated it within the DOJ antitrust trial. There’s been paperwork which have come out and certainly confirmed that they do use clicks, uh, for rankings and consumer information, uh, for rankings.
And, um, all all through these leaked paperwork, it exhibits proof of them utilizing their nav increase system of utilizing, you recognize, kind of, uh, click on information to assist rank and increase, uh, their algorithm. Proper. And all through the years, they’ve mentioned issues like dwell time, click on via charge, uh, and different issues. Are principally made up crap, proper?
Um,
Jared: and greater than that on this one particularly, there’s a lot Duchess of lies, however on this case, documented. Evidential proof the place Google and Google staff are simply flat out shaming, uh, ran fish pores and skin particularly about this one. This one has been ran child, you recognize, sort of brainchild for a very long time.
Properly, earlier than anyone was, I believe actually onto this, Rand’s been selling that clicks have a measurable affect on rankings. Properly, earlier than we realized what we realized from the DOJ antitrust, this one’s a little bit of a moot level, however this one is also extra flagrant as a result of sure, Google’s denied so a lot of this stuff, i.
e. lies. This one, they’ve gone into like public shaming, which is, which is embarrassing for them. It is, it is extra embarrassing than simply coverup. That is only a flat out, uh, immaturity.
Spencer: And, you recognize, once more, I am going to simply reference folks over to spark Toro. com and browse Rand Fishkin’s, uh, response, you recognize, lengthy story quick, he is, he is sort of over it, you recognize, like he is, he is over kind of search engine marketing and being tremendous concerned within the search engine marketing business for, you recognize, 5, six, seven years, no matter it’s, uh, at this level, however.
It is a sufficiently big leak that he got here again and he wrote this and kind of responded just a little bit to what you simply referenced that, Hey, he has been kind of making a variety of case research and claims displaying that click on information and different issues have been used for a very long time. And so that is kind of like his second of like redemption in a method of like, I instructed you guys, I have been telling you this for years, though Google has been saying in any other case for years, this kind of.
Verifies what I have been saying just a little I I agree with you that I I believe it is very related necessary that we not less than level that out um Okay, uh, hold going hold going The paperwork themselves. Why is
Jared: the disgust spencer? Yeah, I imply
Spencer: So that is only a screenshot of individuals can see this simply to offer you an thought of the kind of issues that have been leaked.
Prefer it’s, it is, um, it simply provides just a little bit of data, proper? However we all know that they depend on issues like unhealthy clicks, good clicks, final longest clicks, unsquashed clicks, um, unsquashed impressions, proper? We do not. Know what all of those means, however we all know just a little bit, proper? They provide some notes, um, however we all know sufficient to know that they undoubtedly are utilizing clicks and click on information of their, um, search algorithm, proper?
So, uh, the opposite one that’s sort of humorous is, uh, there is no such thing as a sandbox, proper? John Mueller has actually mentioned in any individual’s questions, Hey, normally how lengthy does it take to, uh, relieve? From the Google sandbox for a brand new web site, proper? We have all thought for years that you’ve got a model new web site. Generally it takes three months, six months earlier than you get out of like this sandbox of Google.
And it is at all times been kind of Laura or legend. Google’s denied it. John Mueller, there is no such thing as a sandbox. However actually inside their search documentation, um, it, uh, it has one thing referred to as an attribute referred to as host age that’s used particularly to cite to sandbox, recent spam in serving time. It is simply humorous that not solely do they not have one thing sort of referred to as sandbox, they really confer with it because the sandbox after which they denied it.
It is simply. It is fairly blatant for my part.
Jared: Um, it is it is exhausting so as to add a lot commentary to it It truly is like I believe this could be only a good time to step in and say with all this stuff What’s so humorous is I acquired requested yesterday and spencer i am positive this has come up for you in a dialog sooner or later like Hey, do these leaks, we’ll get into, you recognize, the algorithm versus what these leaks are just a bit bit to the touch on it, however do these leaks change something about the way in which you do search engine marketing?
And my reply just isn’t actually, as a result of most of these items all of us knew. And in case you’re good at, you recognize, this house, such as you’ve realized that not at all times actually take all the pieces. Google says at face worth, to not say all the pieces they are saying is lies, however you do not at all times consider it blindly. So the information from all of the testing to this point has confirmed all this stuff improper.
Now we simply have sort of documentation of it. So in case you’re sitting there going like, properly, I at all times knew the sandbox hat was a factor as a result of I can not ever get my website to get any clicks within the first three to 6 months. And, uh, sure, you are, you are, that is extra of a validation for a lot of issues. You may already know that it’s some groundbreaking revelation.
The groundbreaking revelation is that it is documented and now we get to see it.
Spencer: I typically agree with you that it is not going to vary considerably how we construction an article or, you recognize, what we do for functions. Um, you recognize, aside from, hey, we do know that high quality content material is necessary when it comes to the longer folks stick across the extra they click on to your web site and do not click on again.
Like, All of that information truly issues to Google. Uh, the one kind of factor that I’ll say that will or might not change something, however, uh, definitely as one space the place you would attempt to get just a little bit extra aggressive, uh, is sending is, is definitely sending extra site visitors proper to your web site via, uh, different Different means, proper?
Whether or not it is like, if in case you have a Fb web page, um, and you may ship a bunch of site visitors to an article that may have the potential to rank in Google for one thing like all of that click on information, and in case you get a bunch of customers over there, uh, and so they sort of stick round, proper? Like that is all actually, actually nice information.
So that you truly driving site visitors to your articles that may assist, proper? And now that is one thing we all know for positive. I imply, it is at all times kind of been rumored. Um, however that, that is perhaps only one factor I might. That is level.
Jared: Take into account that is level. Uh, I believe that maybe that expands on, on that, what you simply mentioned sort of expands on it, that such as you had, you may have extra assurances about going ahead with among the concepts that you just might need thought performed a task, however now have extra assurance that they play a task.
Spencer: Yeah, precisely. And, you recognize, I, I will not title names, you recognize, any individual that you just and I each know that we each actually respect lots, that his, his kind of use this, um, kind of technique to drive site visitors. From different locations. And I simply inform you what his. S very web optimization pleasant web site is likely one of the quickest scaling web sites i’ve perhaps ever seen And I do know behind the scenes not solely was he publishing a variety of web optimization content material However he was driving a ton of site visitors from different sources
Jared: right.
Spencer: Uh, and That kind of helps all of what I am seeing right here. So right.
Jared: Yeah, if it is elsewhere Finally you may nearly drive set off reputation via the algorithm of google,
Spencer: proper? And that is lots simpler mentioned than achieved proper like I want I may snap my fingers It is not a pair
Jared: clicks from uh from reddit such as you’re about to speak about in a while the podcast, huh?
Spencer: That is proper. Hey Anytime you tie in Reddit with search engine marketing, we, you recognize that Google loves it. So, and remember to say
Jared: the UGC stuff that got here out on this. Sure, so that’s
Spencer: proper.
Jared: So let’s go
Spencer: via a few extra of those, these lies. Um, Google, uh, additionally mentioned we do not use something from Chrome for rating.
Once more, a variety of this type of got here via the, um, DOJ trial, proper? Um, they really are utilizing chrome and I do not bear in mind what the attribute was. Oh, right here it’s. Um, chrome in complete, you recognize, website stage chrome views. So we all know that their documentation, they’re utilizing chrome information. Um, I do not know if any of this will get Google into much more authorized sizzling water.
Heck
Jared: yeah.
Spencer: That is not for me. I am not an legal professional, proper?
Jared: However. Sizzling water. I do not know if it was that it was truly like, uh, might be, you recognize, convicted upon, however it could actually’t, it could actually’t make the water cooler for them. I assume. Let me simply put it that method. It is it is gotta solely improve the temperature across the water that they are caught in.
Proper. Provides, provides gasoline to the hearth. Proper. Precisely what it does. I do not know, however it could actually’t make it could actually’t make their life simpler.
Spencer: It is not going to get any attorneys off their again.
Jared: Appropriate. The DOJ case, we have to throw the entire thing out now.
Spencer: Proper. Uh, precisely. So, um, okay. Google spokespeople are properly that means, however can we belief them?
Uh, this. That is uh, simply an attention-grabbing, you recognize, kind of, kind of facet word. What’s your tackle this?
Jared: Um, you recognize, you, you, you sort of know Danny from historical past. Uh, you recognize, you guys, I do not anticipate you guys are like textual content buddies or something like that. However like, these are folks which are revered for what they do.
And these are those who now have screenshots all over the place with their face within the mud. And you recognize, what do you consider perhaps Mike’s remark, which is Google spokespeople are properly that means, however can we belief them?
Spencer: Yeah, you recognize, what’s the phrase? Um kind of the Manchurian candidate, proper? It nearly looks like I ponder If Danny Sullivan and others are put into this place that they are the liaison, however they actually do not know the internal workings of Google, proper?
They may know just a little bit extra and so they have conferences each from time to time with some folks from the search engine marketing staff, however have they ever seen any of those? Paperwork, most likely not, is my guess. I do not know. It is all, it is all conjecture. However that that is one concept that they are extra simply sort of a public face and so they actually do not know the internal workings of Google.
And they also’ve achieved their greatest to be truthful. I am giving them the advantage of the doubt right here that not less than any individual like Danny, I do not learn about John Mueller. Um, He appears anyway, so I will not say what he looks like, however, uh, uh, so it is doable that they honestly simply have by no means recognized, um, all of the solutions to search engine marketing.
And so they’ve simply answered to the very best of their very own talents, or there’s the darker facet the place they honestly are simply mendacity to us and attempting to cowl issues up.
Jared: In the event you learn Danny’s sort of diatribes during the last, name it six to 9 months, I’ll echo that it feels more and more like, more and more like he actually does not know a lot about what’s truly occurring.
He is aware of what he is being instructed and he is aware of his job, which is to move alongside suggestions and share data that is been given to him. That is what it looks like, proper? In the event you learn his tweets. It does. That is what it looks like. I am passing this alongside guys. Look, this is proof. I am passing it alongside. It does not really feel prefer it’s like, Hey guys, I am the authoritative voice right here.
And in order that does really feel very, that is a very reasonable assertion. I believe to make about, about Danny and the opposite ones, um, I would not say their commentary echoes that, however, um, you recognize, uh, definitely with Danny, I, I believe that we are able to not less than safely
Spencer: conjecture about that. , what does this do although? The connection going ahead between SEOs and. Um, Google spokespeople, like, what does this do to the connection? Like, I do not, I believe perhaps it was Barry Schwartz truly had a Twitter ballot of like, will you consider something that Google spokespeople say sooner or later?
And it was like 90 one thing p.c was like, no, I, I clicked the no button. I am not essentially. not essentially as a result of both method in the event that they’re mendacity to me daring face Or they simply do not know the knowledge like both method. I simply I At all times i am gonna take what they are saying with a grain of salt going ahead
Jared: and sadly, you are being good I do not suppose anybody’s gonna I imply a grain of salt could be complementary at this level, you recognize, such as you’d be Uh, if like as a, because the proprietor of a enterprise, you would be fiduciary irresponsible in case you went again to your board, went again to your shareholders and mentioned, we’re doing this as a result of Google mentioned to do it this manner.
When there is a mountain of proof. That might recommend you should not try this. Proper. So it will truly be unwise to comply with their recommendation after this mountain of proof,
Spencer: man, that is like, gotta be one of many worst conditions doable for the Google search staff, the, the, the liaison staff, proper? As a result of they know there’s not going to be any belief.
And in order net publishers, like who will we go to? Um, like in my mind instantly goes to the truth that, properly, we have to truly Be listening to folks which are out testing and doing and sharing their outcomes. Proper. I do not wish to title names and say, go comply with them or hearken to what they are saying, however you bought to be actually cautious as a result of there’s like nice folks, all, you recognize, Mike King and, and Rand Fishkin, proper?
Like these, these are properly established folks. Um, Lily Ray, proper? The folks which are within the weeds doing exams, sharing broad information look like sincere. Um, however you then get like blackout discussion board, proper? On the opposite finish the place that is like perhaps spammers which are doing issues. And it is like, you at all times gotta watch out who you hearken to.
However like, I might, after this definitely put much more weight into precise SEOs doing the work, getting their toes, you recognize, or getting their arms soiled. As an alternative of simply any individual at Google.
Jared: It goes full circle again to our dialog final week once we sort of dissected the interview with the Google CEO.
And one of many factors that Google CEO mentioned that we talked about was how they, At this level are usually not going to most likely have AI overview data when it comes to clicks and that kind of stuff in Google search console. And so they sort of alluded to the truth that we do not wish to give an excessive amount of data away as a result of it might be then spammed or used adversely towards us.
The, um, the algorithm, proper? And we talked about that final week and sort of pickled at Google’s in, when it comes to offering transparency, however then figuring out that they’ve conditions they must cope with after they’re clear and that is a actuality, proper? We perceive that, however sadly they’re simply getting caught.
Week in, week out with the destructive results of not being clear. And, um, you recognize, it, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is a tough state of affairs to be in, however it hasn’t been stewarded properly. And that is one other week the place they’re now caught in it the place the negatives of not being clear are most likely, most likely, uh, I might say, you recognize, worse than what would have occurred on the opposite facet, I assume.
Spencer: Yeah, no, completely. It is similar to destructive PR week after destructive PR week for Google. Um, one other kind of enjoyable time period now could be twiddlers. Ooh, yeah. Google has my
Jared: favourite search engine marketing phrases to make use of like
Spencer: canonicalization. Oh, any individual get the area who owns twiddlers. com. Um, hurry, go, go purchase that any individual. Um, however, uh, they have these.
What are referred to as twiddlers within the documentation which are like, um, uh, tweaks, proper? Like that kind of increase or demote sure issues. Um, and have they got some particular examples? I imply, they have NavBoost, QualityBoost, RealtimeBoost, WebImageBoost, proper? Um, that kind of primarily based on various things, proper, will tweak how your website’s rating up or down.
Um, and so there are a number of twiddlers that they confer with all through the documentation. Uh, and a few of these, um, like, I believe, um, I believe that is referred to as a twiddler, um, is like the precise match area was like, perhaps, I do not know if that was particularly a twiddler, uh, however like again within the day, they added one thing to their algorithm to demote actual match area in order that in case you had that.
Um, key phrase in your area, uh, you truly wouldn’t rank as excessive. That was kind of like a, a twiddler, if you’ll. I used to be attempting to think about an instance, however
Jared: I’ve instance for, um, uh, a subject we have to tackle, perhaps I am going to transition it now and say, Oh my goodness. Because it pertains to the viewers that listens to the area of interest pursuits podcast.
One of many huge issues that ended up in right here associated to twiddlers, however separate from it’s this idea of small private website.
Spencer: Sure. Sure.
Jared: Did you see this in there and might we discuss this?
Spencer: Uh, right here we go. I simply wished to get right down to the part. Sure. Google could also be torching small websites on objective. So, uh, throughout the documentation, and that is actually attention-grabbing as a result of I’ve by no means heard of this or considered this earlier than, however they really have a tag right here or an attribute right here for small.
Um, and it simply says rating of small private website promotion, go slash selling private blogs. We do not know precisely what it means, however it’s clearly outlined as a small private website. Um, and he mentions, proper, contemplating the backlash and the small companies which were torched by the useful content material replace, it is a marvel that they use this function.
Um, It is a marvel that they use this function to do one thing about it. Proper. And so we do not, we do not actually know precisely how this impacts websites, however it does nearly really feel like there’s something particularly within the algorithm that targets small private websites, proper? Websites which are perhaps single creator or perhaps, you recognize, are usually not clearly, um, a information group that look like only a private weblog, which I’ve a variety of ideas about this.
Um, It perhaps is getting a tweak within the algorithm and being demoted, proper? Prefer it’s clearly being categorized as such. And, um, elsewhere within the documentation, it appeared that perhaps there be, there could also be completely different positions, proper? The place if there is a sure variety of small private websites, proper. You solely enable slots for 2, proper.
Um, or three or no matter it could be. So in that impact, it’s possible you’ll be getting demoted, proper? As a result of you’ve a. A small private website. Um, what are your ideas, Jared? What do it’s important to say about this?
Jared: Yeah, we do not know the way it’s getting used. We do not know if it is getting used. We all know it is in there. Yeah, it’s enjoyable to interrupt it down a bit, you recognize, trigger like Google selected these phrases, small and private, small, how will we outline small, however it definitely is completely different than huge.
We have talked on the podcast at size about how huge websites hold successful. And it is not simply our opinions. It is documented in nearly each algorithm replace for the final couple of years, how huge websites hold getting greater when it comes to their site visitors. So attention-grabbing, small loses. Replace over replace. We have seen this after which right here it’s on this documentation private.
Now private is not a time period I believe we have ever used earlier than, however boy, does it precisely match the forms of websites which have gotten rocked by HCU websites that. Haven’t got a enterprise platform on it. We have talked to a throw e comm, you had an e comm, your native enterprise, you appear to flee. I can vouch for this, my company and the purchasers that we work on.
Um, you recognize, in case you’re, in case you’re simply an affiliate, in case you’re simply an advert income facet, if all this stuff we have sort of checked out really feel very like a private website or what you precisely sort of mentioned earlier as weblog, so. Um, once more, it is a kind of issues the place if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, I do not know, it feels so related to the HCU.
After which tying this again to your touch upon Twiddler, as soon as they’ve sort of categorized websites as small private websites, you would then in concept, from my understanding of it and proper me if I am improper, anybody, trigger I solely have a day or two on this, however you would then use a Twiddler that will both demo or increase.
Websites with these tags on them, proper? And so that will be the place that may come into play from our understanding via the documentation.
Spencer: Yeah. And, um, tied intently to that is one thing referred to as child panda. Um, and it is within the documentation, it is referred to as child panda demotion. Proper. Um, and there is a V two, a brand new child panda demotion in any case.
Um, so it, it, it seems. And so they, that is additionally a twiddler, proper? So it is nearly as if, and I do not know if these work collectively, proper? Like perhaps you are categorized as a small private website and if sure, apply child panda, sure or no, proper? Relying on sure issues. So it is nearly like, Hey, you match into this class of small private website.
And in case you do, then you’ve the potential to get demoted with this child panda. Uh, and naturally, panda got here out in like 2011. Um, I bear in mind when it got here out, it was devastating, um, to lots of people. Uh, and it primarily focused. Content material high quality, skinny content material, you recognize, um, you recognize, poor, poor high quality, proper?
Spun content material. Yeah. Spun or copy content material. Precisely. Was, was hit fairly exhausting. And so what meaning is up for interpretation, proper? However it seems that. Perhaps this child panda, this new panda demotion is tied with the useful content material replace, not less than, you recognize, Mike King is sort of making this, uh, connection right here and, um, it, May doubtlessly make sense due to the forms of websites that we have seen get hit.
Proper. It is like the person bloggers, uh, the folks I am going to simply do my last rant right here. I’ve, I’ve achieved this like nearly each week, however it’s like, goodness, if Google needs to recover from these unhealthy PR weeks, would you simply promote some small mother and pop outlets? Just like the folks which are precise creators, the tales you will get behind and root for.
Proper. It is like, You need the, the mother weblog, you need the, you recognize, the, the man that travels to 50 nations on his personal and paperwork it just like the, the one man store, like that is what America roots for, or the world for that matter, proper? It is like, you need the small man to win, um, as an alternative of, you recognize. All these huge websites, the Forbes, the Reddits, the Coras, the key firms which are doing very well in Google, and it, it looks like, I imply, Google is choosing on the little man as an alternative of, like, truly selling the person voices, and now we’ve got documentation that seems to assist this rant that I hold happening, proper, is that it?
All these little websites acquired hit within the useful content material replace, proper? They have this child panda demotion occurring. We have this small private website tag that could be a actual factor. Um, it is like, come on, Google, if you wish to enhance your, your picture and Enhance your outcomes for that matter, get some authentic creators and rank their web sites.
Like that is the sort of content material that we wish to be studying. So Spencer, I solely disagree with you
Jared: on one factor
Spencer: there.
Jared: All proper. You now not can confer with them because the little man. They shall now be known as a small private man.
Spencer: That is proper. The small private man. Google’s out to get the small
Jared: private man.
For actual. Uh, I want a joke, truly. It is, I imply, I assume you may’t say that for sure, however I imply, that is what they’re calling them. Let’s put it that method. It is
Spencer: unhappy. And you recognize, I, you and I, we, we, you recognize, we attempt to smile, you recognize, we’ve got time right here on the podcast, however I’ll simply say like, even this week, I’ve gotten a few emails from those who.
It is heartbreaking to listen to their tales, proper? These are small creators which have achieved very well full time for years that their site visitors has gone to basically nothing. And, um, it is due to issues like we’re seeing on this documentation, um, of Google. And I imply, it hurts me to see that. Um, all proper.
I, there’s much more that we may undergo. I believe there was one different factor, um, that, that you just had talked about, Jared, that you just sort of discovered tremendous attention-grabbing. So.
Jared: There’s a variety of good things in there. There’s stuff, there’s stuff about web page high quality. Um, that is price . Um, there’s, there’s, uh, a few different issues when it comes to indexing.
Uh, we talked about host stage, there’s navigational expertise stuff in there. Uh, there’s spam penalties. We’re not going to get to the UGC stuff at this time. It was not minor, however I would not say a outstanding a part of it, however go have a look at the UGC stuff. One thing I assumed was actually cool to see is website radius. Yeah.
In essence, a variety of what I sort of, um, uh, in some ways wrote about in my search engine land article, I did not write about website radius to be clear, however, um, it was these, it was among the ideas that have been, that have been, that have been in that is this idea of website radius is, um, this concept of how, um, Uh, how intently tied your content material is because it goes throughout your whole web site.
Uh, what I wrote down is it signifies how a lot of the content material of particular person pages deviates from the location’s main matter. A smaller radius means the location is tightly centered whereas a bigger radius signifies a broader vary of matters. I imply, I do not wish to overstep and I do not wish to like draw too many conclusions as a result of we do not know the way that is truly being rolled out within the algorithm, however I imply, if you wish to discuss topical authority.
You wish to discuss pressure out of your topical authority. You wish to discuss what that appears like. This is some language that we are able to begin to truly use now to not less than phrase it in a method Google thinks about it. Proper? So topical authority is a giant matter. It is a huge buzzword. It is a huge phrase that will get debated lots, and we’ve not talked about it in a short time, however Hey, that is in there too.
So undoubtedly, you recognize, do some extra digging on website radius if in case you have your ideas and also you wish to know extra about what they consider that.
Spencer: And it is a captivating matter as a result of I’ve at all times kind of, um, talked about, you recognize, having very tight centered area of interest web sites, proper? Like that is sort of been my entire concept once I began is like, okay, if I can create one web site on one topic or one core topic, it ought to in concept do higher in Google since you turn out to be this authority in Google.
And so I, , going all the way in which again to 2011 once I give up my job, that is kind of been my factor, proper? I did not name it website radius or no matter, however you recognize, once I suppose area of interest websites in my thoughts, that is what I am fascinated about is like, let’s solely discuss yard video games and that is it, proper? Or no matter it’s.
Jared: And so they have extra in there. They’ve website radius, they’ve website focus rating, they’ve website embeddings, they’ve web page, lots that ties collectively. And once more, I am going to simply sort of depart it this broad factor. Prefer it’s so bizarre to see documentation that would appear to assist this concept of getting a good website radius, having a good topical focus.
Then we’ve got this private, small private website. Uh, uh, uh, I am utilizing the phrase tag. It is not a tag. It is, you recognize, attribute could be a greater strategy to describe it.
Yeah.
Jared: Um, and it is so bizarre to observe the area of interest website. Group get yo yoed round within this doc. , it is like, Hey, we, in case you’re not going to be a giant website, keep on, keep on matter.
We acquired stuff in right here for you. Oh, however you are not a giant website. So we acquired stuff to, to sort of demote you. And it is simply, it’s a yo yo expertise to, to, to be on this house. And it feels yo yo ish whenever you sort of have a look at this, whether or not it is proper or improper, we predict it is improper, clearly, however, um, it is, it is definitely yo yos lots on phrases of what they wish to reward whenever you’re in that house.
Like we discuss lots.
Spencer: Yeah, it is completely loopy as a result of it is sort of like, all proper, you guys have found out that having a website round a good focus a good website radius is the proper factor to do to do properly in Google. Properly, oh, since you figured that out, we’re gonna have a website demotion since you’re a private website.
And never some main company. It is simply, um, it does not make a variety of logical sense for my part.
Jared: If you get on this planet of machine studying and releasing updates which are unexplainable to a point, like you may sort of begin to see like, Oh, properly, perhaps that is as a result of there’s sufficient battle within the hour.
And once more, I am not going to get into it. Trigger that is an entire podcast for itself, however
Spencer: yeah. You begin to
Jared: see the complexities right here.
Spencer: Completely. So once more, there’s a lot, um, in all we’re type, all these paperwork. Ping
Jared: ponging all around the, all around the map right here at this time, attempting to at 14,000 attributes, 2,500, uh, pages.
Tons to attempt to summarize in half-hour, however hey, I do know not unhealthy, you unhealthy. Labored a pair ransom.
Spencer: I, I even labored a few rants in perhaps the very last thing, proper? As a result of, um, the Google did reply, um, to this, you recognize, um, one is that they did affirm that these are actual, these paperwork are actual. Um, so it is, you recognize, an act correct, you recognize, evaluation of sort of what we have been speaking about, however this is the quote.
And I am going to depart it to you. A Google spokesperson despatched this. That is simply humorous as a result of we actually 5 minutes in the past, we’re speaking about whether or not or not we must always hearken to Google spokespeople. Um, however we’ll learn this quote in any case. It says we’d warning towards making inaccurate assumptions about search.
Based mostly on out of context, outdated or incomplete data. We have shared in depth details about how search works and the forms of components that our methods method whereas additionally working to guard the integrity of our outcomes from manipulation. So there you go. That’s, uh, their response. Um, you recognize. Do it, do what you’ll with that quote.
Um, so. That is all I’ve to say. I imply, I get it. Yeah, it does not assist a lot. Yeah, yeah, not a variety of assist, so. Alright, properly, we’ll most likely be referencing this for, who is aware of, years. SEOs could also be speaking about this. Proper.
Jared: Yeah, uh, what do you consider the speculation, Spencer, to shut it out and we’ll transfer on, that they, that they really purposely allowed this to exit so they might cowl up all their different PR errors which have greater implications for his or her, uh, inventory worth, just like the disastrous AI overviews rollout?
Spencer: Hmm,
Jared: I have never heard that concept, however
Spencer: I
Jared: discover it far fetched. We have started working one conspiracy concept into this, uh, podcast. Yeah,
Spencer: why not, you recognize? Perhaps there’s, uh. Sundar’s pulling the strings behind the scenes, leak this, and it is all improper. , leak these 14, 000 paperwork which are all improper. See,
Jared: you recognize, he is acquired you trying on the proper hand whereas he is transferring the left hand.
I do not know. No, I do not purchase it. However I’ve heard that on a number of events.
Spencer: I do not purchase it. I do not purchase it. So. That is a giant, uh, huge information story, uh, for positive. Um, however we’re going to sort of wrap it up with just a little bit extra lighthearted right here when it comes to, uh, you recognize, I am going to, I am going to simply soar in and I am going to share, uh, one facet mission that I have been engaged on.
I have been speaking about the previous few weeks is I do have a, uh, area of interest website. That is been extra of an experiment website due to all of the craziness in Google. I attempted to construct a website that. Would not require any site visitors from Google. I would nonetheless love them to ship me site visitors, however, uh, I am actually simply specializing in two issues, Fb and Reddit proper now.
And, um, I’ve sort of shared what I have been doing, you recognize, during the last months and Fb, you recognize, I’ve acquired one thing like 50, 000 web page followers. And so we publish. Three, 4 or 5 occasions a day on our Fb web page with a few these being a hyperlink to an article on our precise web site. So a number of of them could be simply engagement issues, attempting to maintain the Fb web page, uh, engaged after which twice a day, basically, uh, in the course of the weekday, we’ll truly publish an article.
Hopefully that is attention-grabbing. Will get engagement, sends a variety of site visitors. I make cash. With show adverts, you recognize, that is, that is the enterprise mannequin for proper now. Um, however not too long ago simply added Reddit to that and have began to see some, some good positive aspects. A few of my articles have been doing properly on Reddit. In reality, in the future, um, acquired like 11, 000 guests in a single day from Reddit.
And I simply launched an entire video on that on the YouTube channel. So folks wish to watch that. It is on the area of interest pursuits, uh, the principle YouTube channel. However I simply thought it will be attention-grabbing as a result of I hit just a little benchmark right here of over 50, 000 web page views for the month. There it’s. So within the final 30 days, I am sitting at 55, 000 web page views.
Proper. Um, and you may see these spikes, most of those, um, I do not know if most, however three or 4 of them are a Reddit, proper? Like this, this one right here, this one right here, after which this 11, 001 and at the present time after was, was just about all Reddit. After which this newest one on the twenty sixth, um, simply a few days in the past is a mix, like I acquired a few thousand from Reddit.
I acquired a few thousand from Fb, proper? Like in the identical day, they every despatched two or 3000. Guests are extra lucky. It seems to be like I had about 8000 guests that day. Um, and they also’re beginning to work in tandem just a little bit, and it is not at all times the identical tales that take off on Fb. That take off on Reddit.
Generally they’re completely different for no matter cause. The viewers simply responds just a little bit completely different. Uh, they get traction in other places. And so not less than seems to be like I I am beginning to hit on a technique the place I can not less than get a number of articles to hit. And if I can hold it above 50, 000 web page views in a month, I ought to have the ability to get authorized for Mediavine.
Um, hopefully fairly quickly as a result of proper now I am simply on Ezoic. Like, truthfully, I log into Ezoic perhaps as soon as a month simply to see, however just like the RPMs are so low there. It is, uh, it is nearly embarrassing to, to even share. Proper. Like, um, I believe my huge day, like I made like 50 or one thing, you recognize, this, this huge spike and it is similar to, I have never actually optimized something.
I simply sort of turned it on. I am actually have simply been ready so I can lastly get on Mediavine or Raptive or some, you recognize, essential advert community and, and, um, the RPM ought to, ought to double. Proper? Perhaps much more than that. Now you utilized for Mediavine
Jared: Journey. Are you able to I ponder if it is a technique, if there This is not for the file, however I am simply, I am joking once I say this, however I ponder if the technique is Mediavine’s like, yeah, apply for Journey whenever you’re at 10, 000 and we’ll watch and see which internet sites truly proceed rising.
After which we’ll simply allow you to in whenever you hit 50 in any case. Perhaps. Since you’ve hit 50 in what, a month and a half because you utilized on the 10, 000 site visitors mark, proper?
Spencer: Yeah,
Jared: yeah, fairly
Spencer: a lot. Yeah, it has been, yeah, most likely near a month and a half. I imply, that is a trajectory. That may be a trajectory. Yeah. And it is, you recognize, and once more, it is, it is spiky.
Like I, I’ve had a 50, 000 a web page view month a number of months in the past the place I had like two articles, I believe take off on simply Fb, however it does really feel like now I am getting just a little bit extra constant, proper? Like a few times every week. Now I am beginning to have articles which are doing higher. And so I am actually hopeful that this shall be sustainable, uh, going ahead and, and all through the summer time.
So that is what I am doing. And, you recognize, um, The one factor I am going to simply say kind of my plans is that I believe posting frequency, we might be posting just a little bit extra steadily, uh, in each locations. And so if we, you recognize, name it double the frequency, uh, per day that we’re posting, like we’d have the ability to double the site visitors.
So, uh, I’m going to start out attempting to publish just a little bit extra steadily, get a course of in place to make that occur. And naturally, uh, yeah, I am going to share the outcomes, you recognize, in a number of weeks or every time that’s.
Jared: Properly, 50, 000, you recognize, views at a average, however completely cheap RPM on a media vine of like 20.
That is a thousand greenback web site proper there. Yeah. Thousand greenback per 30 days. I imply, that is a, that is a milestone. So many individuals look to achieve and you’ve got achieved that in a number of quick months with non Google site visitors. Yeah.
Spencer: So, so there you go. And, and that will be the aim, proper? Is like, if I can simply get it to love a thousand or 1, 500 a month, like all of a sudden that turns into like sufficient to be self sufficient the place I will be posting, I can rent out, you recognize, and any individual else simply doing all the pieces.
And hopefully it simply turns into a rising engine and extra of a flywheel at that time the place it is paying for itself and. Simply rising. So,
Jared: yeah, it is an excellent level. You get it to one thing like that thousand greenback month mark. You possibly can rent somebody, whether or not it is half time full time, relying on the place you are going to look and what ability units you want and all that.
However you can begin to truly block out cash to outsource, to get assist. After which it creates a flywheel impact as a result of now you’ve somebody who can, can do extra.
Spencer: Yeah, precisely. So, in order that’s my replace. Um, how about you? What’s, uh, occurring together with your facet tasks
Jared: right here? Yeah, properly, hey, I am dipping again into the Amazon Influencer Program dialogue at this time.
Okay, good. You might need seen, we did not tackle it. We simply sort of flew proper into it. Really Just a little little bit of technical difficulties final week, however final week I recorded you will most likely discover I used to be not in case you’re on YouTube. I used to be not in my common spot. Um, uh, I used to be ready for somebody to touch upon the portray behind me.
In the event you actually wish to return and have a look at that. It was a really I keep in mind that. I did not convey it up. You did not convey it up. In all probability good. You do not wish to get these phrases within the video after which get the video, you recognize, sizzling water, you recognize, talking of sizzling water. So anyway, we’ll depart that the place it is at, however I used to be at um, like a mastermind meetup.
Um, uh, and so I used to be in an Airbnb. Now I’ve talked about this earlier than. My greatest promoting Amazon influencer product in the course of the This autumn gross sales season final 12 months was. One thing I filmed at a cabin or an Airbnb on our two Oh one artistic firm retreat earlier that 12 months, Airbnbs or leases give you a chance to go to another person’s home and use another person’s Amazon merchandise and get entry to an entire new reprop repository of stuff to make movies about now, a variety of it.
You are not going to know the right way to use it. And so definitely some folks may really feel comfy making a video on it, however I do not actually wish to simply make a video about one thing I haven’t got any clue about, however you would be utilizing a variety of these items when you’re there. You are there for, I believe it was there for 3 or 4 days.
I imply, I used a lot of the stuff that is there. Now this is the problem that I’ve at all times run into. It is exhausting to seek out time whenever you’re at an Airbnb to make these movies. You are there with household. You are there for work. If in my case, I used to be there. For a piece occasion, however I am attempting to maintain up with the company within the spare time I’ve whereas I am doing the mastermind stuff.
It is only a very busy time. You are on a household trip. You do not actually wish to inform the household, Hey, maintain on. I acquired, I gotta, I gotta get a pair hours to make an Amazon influencer movies. So what I used to be up towards it on the final day, I simply thought I would share this, this attention-grabbing technique. I used to be up towards it the final day.
I used to be testing that day. Um, it was final Friday and I am like, Oh my gosh, there’s some superb stuff I have been utilizing right here. It is like a 500 espresso, a espresso machine. Um, there’s like, you recognize, uh, there was a 180 mirror, you recognize, there’s like some actually cool stuff that I used to be utilizing that like this could make good Amazon influencer movies, however I simply was not going to have the time.
So this is what I did. In a haste, I simply recorded myself, for instance, utilizing the espresso machine within the last morning. I simply recorded whereas I used to be making, I did not do voiceover. I did not do any audio. I did not take the time to consider it. I used to be similar to, I am simply going to file a bunch of stuff of me utilizing it.
After which I simply left it in my cellphone. I went and recorded the mirror simply tremendous fast, couple minutes, completely different angles, all that moved on. I simply ran via the Airbnb and recorded a bunch of what we’d name within the business B roll. And I acquired it. So it took me like 10 minutes to file, you recognize, no matter, 5 of this stuff.
Um, I believe I most likely did most likely about quarter-hour price of video. In the event you have a look at the timestamps after which I got here dwelling and now, sure, this took extra time, however I recorded audio. An organized script. And I did lower three or 4 of these B roll movies collectively to make about six or seven Amazon influencer movies.
Good. And so I uploaded, I believe it was seven. I ought to know he is both six or seven Amazon influencer movies. They took much more time, proper? Each most likely took 20 minutes to make as an alternative of my common two to 5 minutes to make. It is attention-grabbing as a result of. I believe that if I look again on it, if a kind of catches, like my final one did, it is going to completely be price it.
And there are some very nice merchandise in there. These aren’t simply, you recognize, your 10 tchotchkes. There have been some very nice merchandise and I used to be fairly centered on. I believe that is attention-grabbing, particularly for individuals who maybe have a tough time making movies and speaking within the second. Um, I would not wish to make a thousand movies that method, however that could be a good strategy to get off the bottom and get began on making influencer movies.
And perhaps then after your first 25, your first 50, now you are extra comfy after which you may transfer into simply speaking when you’re recording them. It gave me the prospect to add seven movies about some superior merchandise that I would not have had time to in any other case.
Spencer: Yeah, I like that technique lots. Um, you recognize, for quite a lot of causes, however it could be a great way for those that aren’t fairly as comfy on digital camera to have the ability to simply file, sit down, kind it out a script, after which do the voiceover, such as you mentioned.
And even in case you’re simply getting began, I imply, you work in case you do 50 movies in that method, yeah, perhaps it takes just a little bit longer, however at that time, hopefully you make, I do not know, a pair hundred {dollars} a month. Not less than
Jared: you get the momentum going after which, you recognize, the momentum creates extra impetus so that you can sort of get higher at it.
And I imply, apply makes excellent, uh, per se. So that you simply get higher and higher and also you simply hold going. However, um, in any case, influencers going very properly. It is nearly the tip of Could. I will report subsequent week on the numbers. We’ll discuss influencer numbers subsequent week on the podcast. After which the next week I am going to circle again on my e-newsletter, which is doing very properly, by the way in which.
However you recognize, I can solely, there’s a lot I can discuss this week. And we had, we burned all of our time on, uh, on Google Wiki leaks right here. So, um, I am going to depart it at that cool technique for people who find themselves struggling perhaps with making movies. People who find themselves fascinated about touring to some Airbnbs this summer time.
Cool technique to make use of. We’ll speak numbers subsequent week. After which, then we’ll get a e-newsletter once more as a result of it is going very properly.
Spencer: Superior. That is good. So yeah, stick round for that. And you recognize, we’re sort of getting down right here to the wire. So these might need to be a few quick, uh, bizarre area of interest websites. We’ll attempt to do, you recognize, three, 4 minutes per website right here.
So I am going to simply soar proper into it. Uh, so, uh, the bizarre area of interest website that I’ve is. Search craigslist. org. And it is precisely because it sounds prefer it’s basically a search engine for Craigslist, proper? So, um, if we seek for, I do not even know why this popped into my head, but when we seek for bowling balls, uh, is there any bowling balls, uh, it seems to be like an advert on the prime.
I do not suppose that is.
Jared: Yeah, I get the identical factor. I believe it is an advert. There you go.
Spencer: You, you’ve got acquired an entire, the fold is all adverts, however then right here you go. You get, you would get a bunch of bowling balls. Um, you recognize, that, that kind of provides some outcomes. It does not even appear like it enables you to search by location, which is sort of the entire level of Craigslist.
However, uh, so there’s that. After which I seen I’ll once more, simply transferring rapidly. I seen that they’re a pal of Craig’s automobiles, all Craigslist automobiles. So in case you click on on this hyperlink down right here, this takes you to a different web site. The place it is craigscars. web. And so clearly they most likely have seen that lots of people are looking, you recognize, for automobiles.
Proper. I am probably not something. Um, however, uh, it will pull again once more. It is acquired all of the adverts on the highest after which
Jared: it appeared good in a Chrysler 200 sequence.
Spencer: I, yeah, I may see myself cruising round downtown, uh, in that, why not? Um, however simply small, uh, shout out to my very own historical past. Uh, I noticed this and I used to be like, I’ve acquired to share this.
However again within the day, I imply, we’re speaking most likely 2009, 2000, perhaps 10.
Yeah.
Spencer: I had a distinct segment web site, Craigslist automobiles. Dot web perhaps, uh, or one thing. It was Craigslist automobiles, one thing, proper. And it did very well for some time. It was one in every of my websites that was, you recognize, it was like 50 bucks a day or one thing, all from Google AdSense.
I used to be rating on the primary web page of Google, you recognize, and, uh, in any case, that is only a enjoyable story from, from my historical past. I used to have all these. Small area of interest web sites that acquired hit by just like the Panda replace, which deservedly so, proper? Um, again within the day, it was like a one web page web site, you recognize, principally inform you, Hey, if you wish to purchase a Craigslist automobile, this is a hyperlink to Craigslist, you recognize, kind factor.
Um, anyway, so, in order that’s simply enjoyable for my very own private historical past. However, uh, if we have a look at the site visitors, um, that is, uh, the search. So if I’m going to go looking craigslist. org, the entire site visitors is just a little over 100 thousand, uh, guests a month. It is 125, 000 final month, about 109, 000, uh, this month. And, uh, I haven’t got the AHS pulled up.
I do not suppose, however it was minimal. It is not rating for lots of issues in Google. It is. Lots of it’s, um, properly, I assume apparently it does say not less than in response to comparable net, that a variety of it’s coming from search, however it’s a mixture of direct and, um, search site visitors. So there you’ve it. Simply sort of an attention-grabbing, you recognize, are there every other companies you would create like a mini search engine for, or a strategy to make different web sites simpler to navigate?
Jared: I imply, I am not trying, I have never checked out it doubtful. I simply seen it for the primary time, however I imply, is it principally simply sitting on prime of Craigslist search perform? Like, is it API pull? I imply, that is the only factor I’ve ever seen, proper? Yeah, that is sort of, I imply, that is what it seems to be like. I imply, what a superb thought.
You simply throw a ton of adverts on and API out the search outcomes and, um, you recognize, sort of your second web site, Craig’s. What was it? Craig’s automobiles, Craig’s, I imply, Craig’s automobiles. That is principally simply taking an remoted a part of Craigslist and bringing a greater consumer expertise to it. I imply, good.
Spencer: Yeah, no, sort of good.
Um, yeah, they’re most likely not raking within the cash, but when they are surely getting 100 thousand guests a month, proper, they could be making 1500, 2000 a month off a easy little, uh, kind of search perform. I do not know what that UI who lovely UI that they’ve. The, you by no means know. They they’re one up in Craigslist.
That is true. That is what they’re doing. That is truly a good level. They made it blue as an alternative of purple and grey or no matter. In any case. Um, so, in order that’s all, all I acquired. Perhaps we’ll all finish it there and I am going to allow you to take a pair minutes for yours. All proper. My,
Jared: uh, simply hitting it exhausting due to time. My, uh. Was truly given to me final week by Tony Hill, pal of the podcast.
He was one of many folks I used to be, um, I used to be working with final week and he had this one. I find it irresistible. I truly actually preferred this. I’ve used this area of interest website, this bizarre area of interest website a number of occasions this week. It’s tree. fm like what the heck is tree. fm. So it is a repository, a database of. Sound bites from nature.
And so you may put this on as background music. You possibly can hearken to a random forest as they are saying. And so, um, it is a bit glitchy. I discovered a variety of the sounds did not load, however principally you simply, you recognize, click on that button and hearken to a random forest and you do not have to truly press play on it, however it’ll take you to some factor that somebody has uploaded from like a forest in Poland or a forest in Germany or What is that this one?
Um, Estonia. There you go.
Spencer: That is a pleasant sound.
Jared: Is not that fairly, proper? It’s totally fairly. I’ve put this on a number of occasions as background music as a result of I am a nature lover. So that is, um, I discover it, a lot of them to be fairly peaceable. You bought wind blowing via the bushes in some, you bought birds in others, you bought, , leaves rustling.
