Useful tips and tools mentioned in the podcast
There really was so much to take in from this podcast.
To get ALL of the wisdom and value you will have to listen to the chat. But here are some of the key tools & tricks mentioned by Debbie in the podcast...
On page SEO tips:
- Improve your website SPEED! The best way to do that is to improve your hosting - Debbie recommends BigScoots for bigger blogs. But she also recommends Siteground or Namehero as better alternatives to Bluehost.
- Learn more about how to improve your site speed on Debbie's new website Healthy Savvy and Wise.
- Focus on 1 or maybe 2 areas and write a lot of content for that (as in 50+ posts) i.e. Debbie focuses on writing about flooring
- Check your old content. Does it help Google understand your main topic? Consider "de-indexing" it using the Yoast plugin. Check out this post to help with that.
Off page SEO tips:
- Use Help a Reporter to get good backlinks. You may need to respond to a lot to get any good backlinks but it's an easy way for anyone to get links with a bit of "elbow grease".
- Guest post on other bloggers sites to get backlinks. Join great blogging FB groups like Tracey Fobes one here to connect with other bloggers.
These tips will help you sell more online from SEO.
Other tips or tools:
- Use Moz to get an idea of your domain authority and other websites authority.
- Diversify your traffic sources once you understand one (don't ONLY focus on SEO)
- Debbie recommends Carly Campbell's Pinterest course and Jennifer Maker's Pinterest Launch Plan.
As you can see Debbie has a lot of wisdom when it comes to SEO.
She even has 2 books to help beginners or anyone looking to up their SEO game:
- Easy on page SEO ($37)
- Easy backlinks for SEO ($67)

Hey Debbie, search engine optimization I must say is one thing one cannot brush aside in the blog world as it is one of the most important mechanisms for acquiring huge number of page likes on a blog.

Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful article and I have come to know about both on-page SEO and off-page SEO through you. I have some websites and I do on-page SEO off-page SEO to bring these websites to a good level of search ranking in SEO and for this task I was looking for some paid tools that I got through your article. And I want to buy these tools without delay and will share my experience with you very soon
Great stuff Arzu, please do let me know how it goes
To some of us, SEO is usually the big elephant in the room that needs to be addressed. This is especially true if you’re putting the necessary efforts on your part but getting very little in the way of rewards (rankings). Debbie clearly has a good reputation as far as SEO goes, though I’ve never had the pleasure of studying her work. This could be a good time to do so.
Thanks for sharing
She certainly has an abundance of knowledge! I love her down to earth and honest approach about it all too, there’s not a salesy bone in her body she just tries to help

And I want to buy these tools sooner and use them on my website and will share my experience with you very soon.
Awesome Shanta, let me know how it goes
Wow, this episode was exactly what I needed! I started to get discouraged by not seeing any traffic to my website… My problem is that I am quite shy, so connecting with other bloggers is harder for me. But I guess it is time for me to jump out of comfort zone and put myself on the radar. Or stop complaining about traffic… Thank you for giving me the boost of motivation!
Haha, yeah I know exactly how you feel Katja! It’s not easy to put yourself out there (and it can feel time-consuming) but it really helps and it always gives me a hit of motivation after chatting with someone. Keep in touch and let me know if there’s anything I can do to help
