How does Google view LinkedIn content? Specifically articles which at the moment are still called Pulse? There's been a big debate for a long time as to whether links from social media that get real traction. Is Google really ignoring it? Probably, but maybe not.
Maybe it passes a little bit of value. Maybe. Yeah. I mean, one of the things I have seen people saying a lot online is, oh, LinkedIn posts and, and articles are no index as in Google can't see them. They can only see the profiles. And that's, that's definitely not true. You can definitely see them ranking.
A link on a, an article that's, that's on Pulse. It's on LinkedIn might not pass link value and authority to your website, but it might send you some traffic.
Yeah. And that's a really good point. I guess that, you know, at the end of the day, your article is still going to be seen by people and those people will read it and those people will engage with it, and they may then click through to your website and they may even become customers.
Yeah. Welcome back to Digital Marketing From The Coalface with me, Dave Robinson and him.
Alex, are we just are we just.
We've not got a second name.
Uh, no.
Okay. It's just. Alex, like, are you a rock star?
Yeah. Kind of. Yeah.
Just Alex.
Folk pop.
Years ago, one of the bands I was in, uh, because I played the drums since I was a kid. Um, the band was called Loaded, I think, and on the album cover, we did a sort of self-financed album, which I know is a really sad thing to do. But anyway, it was tough. It was a tough, tough environment. So we did it. And my picture on the back, I'll bring it in, I'll show you it. My picture on the back, it's just Alex - drums, just Alex because it's my middle name. As you probably know. Um, so we're back already. I say already it was, uh, Julie I was podcasting with yesterday.
It was. Yeah, apparently I was the runner up.
Yeah. After a bit of a hiatus, uh, we decided to crack on. And this is number 69 I think?
Yeah.
No laughing at the back.
Nope. Kept a straight face.
I'm quite keen. Oh, no. It might be 68 actually. Anyway, I'm keen to get to 70.
Yes.
Yeah. I'm keen to.
I men in real life or?
In real life. I'm not that far off anyway, so. Yeah, absolutely. I'd love to get to 70. It's better than the alternative, which is not getting to 70. As long as I can still play golf and stuff, I'll be quite happy. Um, we had a question asked of us by now. I'm going to leave a little gap here because I don't know whether he wants mentioning or not. Pete Henderson he's actually contacted us before. Peter Henderson from Peter Henderson from Pisces, who are an IT support company based in, well, they're in Aberdeen, but they're also based around the country. Quite a big organisation. Peter Henderson from Pisces got in touch asking us a question. Um and that that question is how does Google view LinkedIn Content. I think specifically articles which at the moment are still called Pulse, as far as I'm aware.
Whatever it's called, it doesn't really matter, does it? Yeah. So yeah, obviously if for those that don't know, you can publish articles through LinkedIn that you can then share with your LinkedIn followers. Um, and I guess it's kind of like, well, I don't know, maybe you'll have a different opinion on this, but I see it as a kind of like alternative.
I'll make it my business to have a different opinion to you.
You will. Course you will. Because when would you be contrary for the sake of it? So actually.
That's just it. When would I be contrary?
Always. Um.
Not always. This is stupid already. Stop it. Digital marketing. Serious.
Serious business. Um, yeah. So I like you. You would. I would always think that you'd publish articles on places like LinkedIn or medium or any of those other kind of places that encourage you to kind of publish for their ecosystem instead of trying to rank content on Google, right? It's like, I'm going to put it up on my LinkedIn profile instead of putting it on my company blog or whatever because I'm not bothered about it doing well in search, but maybe you have a different read on that.
No, I agree, I think your your very best content, um, should should live on your own website and for goodness sake don't then simply copy and paste it into into LinkedIn and put it on there as well, because that's not a good plan.
Um, but you know, I guess just going back to the original question, right? It does, I mean, it is fair to say that the content that you write on LinkedIn Pulse, it does eventually end up on Google anyway, right? It does get indexed. It does rank. You can see if you search some very specific search terms, you'll see LinkedIn Pulse content ranking for them. Um, so I guess the answer is that, well, I guess from my end anyway, the answer is that Google views it the same way as it views all web content. That's, that's useful and helpful. It's perfectly happy to rank it. It's just that in doing, in publishing it on there, you're kind of missing out on the opportunity to put it on your own website.
Yeah, potentially. Um, let's, let's, let's strip it back because obviously there's a, there's a bit more to it isn't there, if you strip it right back. Um, if you were a scientist.
Mhm.
Um, you would want your content, for example, to appear, uh, in nature. Yeah. Wouldn't you.
Yeah.
It's like the pinnacle. And if you write an article, write some content, do some research, and it gets published in nature.
Yeah.
Yeah. And as, um, any organisation right now, business organisation, if you can get articles published, for example, in Harvard Business Review or Wall Street Journal or Forbes. Yeah, you know, those kind of thing. Yeah. Then you'd want that because your content is appearing in a high worth, highly valued, highly respected journal and, and potentially getting links from that back to your website, which gives your website more authority. So you would kind of want to do that. What I think is going on with with Pulse is it's like a low brow, a kind of a kind of poor man's.
Well, it.
Comes earned article listing on something credible.
Because it's. Yeah, because I think part of the problem is that it is kind of completely unearned, isn't it? I mean, this is the thing Google just to just to kind of strip it back, I guess even further, what Google wants to see is authority, right? It wants to see content from websites that it thinks this is a trustworthy, good, viable source. Yeah. The barrier to entry to getting something published in Forbes is quite high. You can't just kind of write them a letter and say, I'm going to publish this article, run it. So when you get something like LinkedIn Pulse, where you can literally just kind of log in and write whatever you want and hit publish, Google's going to look at that and think, well, anyone could do that.
Yeah, I guess so. Um, and, uh, if we look at it from a really practical point of view, one of the reasons that you write content, um, and publish it on other websites, not just your own website, is to try and get links, try and get citations. And one of the things to note is that when you publish articles on LinkedIn Pulse articles, for example, then those articles are the content. The links in those articles are what's called nofollow, which sounds a bit geeky, but basically the link will work. If somebody clicks it, they'll go to your website. But when Google looks at it, it kind of doesn't pass any of LinkedIn's value authority trust to your website or does it?
Well, I mean, that's the big question, isn't it? So the idea of like nofollow links was so that webmasters had a way of saying to Google, I'm referencing this website, but I don't want you to consider it a citation. I don't want you to think that I trust this website. So it's kind of like a, a vote of no confidence almost in your content. But I think Google is still very aware of in aggregate what links exist. And even if the link is nofollow, the fact is it still exists on some level. So maybe Google are kind of looking at that and saying, okay, you know, yeah.
I mean, there's been a big debate for a long time as to whether links from social media that get real traction content that gets real traction in social media. Is Google really ignoring it? Well, probably, but maybe not.
Maybe it passes a little bit of value. Maybe. Yeah. I mean.
You know, if thinking about links, just because one of the primary reasons for writing content on other people's websites is about links. As we've just as we've already said, um, the late, great link building guru, Eric Ward, uh, don't know if you've, you've heard of Eric Ward.
I've read his book when I was learning SEO. Yeah.
I've had several conversations with Eric who very sadly, um, died three or four years ago now. It wasn't an old guy. Um, anyway, I think there's a, there's a big backstory there as to, as to what happened to Eric, but he, he used to say like, imagine when you're looking to build links, imagine that Google doesn't exist. Would you want that link in a in a world where Google didn't exist. And that's a very simple but very powerful way of viewing links. So a link on a, an article that's that's on Pulse, it's on LinkedIn might not pass link value and authority to your website, but it might send you some traffic.
Yeah. And that's a really good point, I guess, isn't it? I mean, this is something that I think you've said before, when I was kind of moaning about the lack of value in posting on places like medium, LinkedIn, that sort of thing, is that, you know, at the end of the day, your article is still going to be seen by people, and those people will read it and those people will engage with it, and they may then click through to your website and they may even become customers. So yeah, I guess that's the thing. If you ignore the whole kind of Google ecosystem and trying to game it, there's still a value, just an innate kind of business value to yeah.
Yeah, you would, you would hope so. So are we answering Peter's question? I'm not sure.
So yeah, I mean, I think yeah, I think just to kind of build on that point a little bit then. So I guess if you, if you don't think that publishing something on your blog will get any traction at all, if you don't think anybody will end up reading it, maybe because your blog is brand new, or you just haven't been doing it very regularly and nobody's kind of following you, then maybe publishing it on LinkedIn is a good way of kickstarting that process, right? Because you'll end up with some of your LinkedIn followers seeing it where they may have missed it on Google, and then you'll maybe end up with it building a little bit of traction. Maybe people will talk about it, maybe people will link to it kind of organically.
Yeah. Is this is this potentially a little bit like, um, you know, if you decide you want to sell online, you can either build your own website, which nobody will find. Yeah. At least not, not for a while immediately. Or you could set up, set up camp on eBay and, and Amazon.
You lose a cut of your profit in order to piggyback.
On that. Yeah. You get, you get, you get a lot more traction. Okay. Yeah, that kind of makes sense. Um, I was, I was, I've got a train of thought and I've kind of got distracted instead of scribbling it down. Um, what was I going to say about this whole kind of idea of publishing on LinkedIn? Um, I think it is about, well, okay, so when, when this question got asked, I thought, well, I've kind of neglected LinkedIn Pulse. So first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go and write an article and publish it. So I went into LinkedIn, clicked on whatever the button is called today, and it brought up a screen. I wrote four or five, six hundred words, something like that. And basically I posted a video, an SEO video that Google had produced. And it's quite good, nice and simple. Uh, and I, and some people had commented back saying, oh, thanks for sharing that and yada, yada. So I thought I'll write an article about it. So I wrote an article about it and went through the process stuck in some pictures. I will say it's a lovely system to use.
It's simple.
It's very simple, really nice. And I'm a big fan of, um, Grammarly. So I've got the Grammarly, uh, you know, Chrome app turned on. So it was helping me with the writing and I wrote what I think is a nice little article. Um, took me, I don't know, twenty minutes or something. Yeah, whatever. Nice, nice and easy. Put some pictures in from, from Unsplash and, and published it and it was recognised straight away because it was dropped into my timeline automatically or whatever they call it on LinkedIn, and somebody liked it. And, and what I've noticed is it hasn't had many views in the sort of six or seven days it's been up there. Um, you know, under twenty views. But, but I have, I can see that it's sent traffic to our website. So some people have read it, they've clicked on the links that are in it to our website or the little bit at the bottom that says Dave Robinson is blah, blah, blah. And you can find him here and they've clicked through to, to, to our website. So, you know, I think could, is it possible that that somebody in there, you know, might actually now be aware of, of read eval when they weren't before?
Yeah. And I guess the other just, I guess just to build on that, I guess another kind of use case then is if you don't have a blog attached to your website, you know, if your website's old, if it's out of date, whatever, if you've never bothered blogging before, rather than paying somebody to build you a blog and picking a CMS and all of that stuff, you can get a kind of quick and easy start by just, yeah, it's, it's easy. It's there. Yeah, you literally just log in and post, right?
So, so one of the things that we did prior to, um, starting this recording was you did a search, uh, in fact, we were trying, we were trying to see whether or not the article that I'd written had been indexed by Google. And it's not been indexed, not yet. And that's about a week after it was published. It still hasn't been indexed by Google. Um, now, that doesn't surprise me because there will be thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of articles getting published every day or every week, certainly on LinkedIn Pulse. So, uh, it's going to take time for it to get indexed. But when we carried out the search that we thought might show up, it did show up. An article from Pulse, another article about the similar, similar subject.
Yes.
So that tells you that although it was quite a long winded, convoluted search phrase we put in a Pulse article.
Can rank.
Pulse articles can rank. It did show up. Yeah.
And I think that's important because one of the things I have seen people saying a lot online is, oh, LinkedIn posts and, and articles and no index as in Google can't see them, they can only see the profiles. And that's definitely not true. You can definitely see them ranking. So it's just it's slow.
When I was researching for this, um, I found, as you would expect, a fantastic article on Neil Patel's website. Yes. I wonder if Neil had come on the show.
Maybe.
Yeah. Neil, are you listening? Come on, give us.
I'm still not. I'm still not sure where I stand on Neil Patel, actually.
Well, he's definitely not coming on the show now, is he?
I out myself as not his biggest fan, but.
Yeah, he's certainly mega successful and.
He's very good at marketing himself.
He's very good at marketing himself. And if you search for things related to digital marketing, then he's on page one for everything. So he's prolific producer of content. Anyway, he's got, um, one of his, um, what do they call it? Skyscraper pieces of content all about why you should be using, um, LinkedIn Pulse. Uh, and it was good. It makes a lot of sense. There was no, there was nothing in there that I just like thought, wow, silver bullet. Wow. I never thought of that. Yeah. It was all very practical, sensible information about how you've got a captive audience within LinkedIn. It's another string to your bow. It's another place where you can raise your profile and get found. The articles will get indexed. He was debating about whether or not the links from them will give you any value at all. But again, going back to the Eric Ward story, you know, if the link sends you traffic, does it matter if the link doesn't count in your to improve Google rankings?
Yeah. And if you're saying, you know, from from a very small pool of, of views, we've had a few clicks, then, you know, clearly people are reading those articles with the intention of learning more about whoever writes them and investigating more. Yeah.
Would you would sorry. Go on. Are you going to say something?
I was just gonna say, I guess the other thing, just coming back to what you're saying about the other another string to your bow thing is, I guess it's an outlet that maybe let you talk about things that you wouldn't be able to talk about on your website. Maybe because you're posting as yourself, you know, you'd be, you'd be able to kind of talk about things in a way that maybe isn't as on brand or doesn't fit with your brand voice or whatever that you're trying to cultivate on your website. So maybe, yeah, it's a chance to kind of tap into slightly different audiences and talk about slightly different subjects.
Yeah, I Yeah, I suppose. I mean, to what extent is your personal brand divorced from the overall brand of the agency in a sense, an agency or whatever business you happen to be in? I mean, if the managing director of Ethical Pullovers R us was on there talking about the fact he just bought himself a an Aston Martin V8 vantage.
Himself was not so ethical.
Yeah. That's right. You know, or not so green or whatever, then I don't know. You can't really divorce those two things.
Not at all. But I think, you know, a really good example is like what you did, right? So like, we'd probably never publish a blog post that is explicitly just saying this is something Google said, because that's not really like thought leadership in the traditional sense. It's not us saying what our opinion is, but it's, it's really smart because it's just like useful, actionable advice in a kind of compact form, you know, that people will find useful. So it's a chance to experiment with different kinds of content, I guess, if nothing else.
Well, we're talking about different kinds of content. I mean, if you were, would you carry out an extensive piece of research and write a two or three thousand word piece of content and stick that on Pulse, you know?
No, because I want all that good stuff on our website. Right? That would be my first thought is like, no, why.
Do you want it on your website?
Well, because if it does, I mean, say that you publish a piece of work like that. And it does go like in inverted commas, viral and loads of people see it and they're like, wow, this is really cool. I can start referencing your study. You want all of that link juice pointing or the value of those links pointing straight back at your main site, right? You don't want to dilute it. Yes. The article you published on LinkedIn Pulse could end up ranking really well. And, you know, secondary to that, you could get some value from the links pointing back to your own site, but you just kind of added another layer of complexity for no reason really.
That's right. Yeah. Okay. Um, so, um, hopefully, Peter, we've managed to completely confuse you. It seems like that that's maybe.
Post on LinkedIn post sometimes. Yeah.
I know, I think, I think broadly speaking, it's now it's now on my radar to use it more just to see what happens over the next, I don't know, six months. Yeah. If I can stick something up there quite on, on a, on a regular basis, like I say, I think I'll use it for, for, I mean, I'm a, I like to put content on our site that goes quite deep and is quite extensive. Um, although I haven't posted on our blog for a while, you've been doing most of that excellent work. Um, but maybe LinkedIn Pulse is somewhere. Excuse me, where I'll be more inclined to write something that's I just want to get off my chest or it's just might only be a four or five hundred word little thought piece. So that's.
My suspicion. And I think the other thing that I've seen people do really well in places like Medium and Pulse, is they'll write little like abbreviated versions of things that they'll then explore in more detail in their blog. Right? So it's like a kind of introduction or a primer. And then if you want to read more, go here. And I think that kind of stuff can work really well. Um, yeah, I just think in general, the kind of people I've seen who use these kind of, like you say, unearned outlets to publish their content very quickly, start moving off them and pushing people towards their own sites instead, just because it's easier to generate business like that, I guess.
So, fair to say. Google does view it does index. It will throw it up in search, search, search rankings. Yes. I was summoning my inner Sean Connery there. Moneypenny. Um, it's.
Okay to slap a woman. It's a Sean Connery quote for the ages. Yeah, it's a thing. That's a thing he said once diminishes his, uh. Yeah.
Just while we're while we're actually recording this, um, which is giving the game away a little bit. Peter just messaged me back on LinkedIn to say he's quite happy for us to, to mention.
Your name.
In the podcast. So thanks for that, Peter. As you can tell, we'd already started recording and named you with the, with the cunning plan that we would beep you out if you actually came back to me and said, For God's sake, don't mention my name. Um, but no, it was a great it was a great question. And it's exactly why we started this, this podcast really was to was to make sure that people could ask questions and find out about stuff that they don't know about. Now, you know, we may not have given a definitive answer, but we, you know, we've done some research we've played around with, with the actual Pulse platform. We've experimented with it. We've, we've, we've researched and we unearthed Neil Patel's article, which is great and, and well worth reading. Um, and, and we've come to the conclusion that broadly speaking, it's worth doing, but the chances that it's going to improve your own search rankings are probably pretty slim. But does it matter if it generates traffic and, and business?
Potentially there will be people out there. I'm sure listening to this who exclusively use LinkedIn Pulse, and it works really well. And I guess if you do that, please write in and tell us. But yeah, I mean, I would just say like, save your best stuff for your website, right? Save the stuff that you're really proud of for your own website and publish stuff that you less attached to.
I'll tell you another thing, which I, when I was doing the research for this that I uncovered and I've just remembered, um, is that one company did some research on LinkedIn in order to kind of engage their audience prior to writing the article. So they basically said, look, we're going to do an expose of, of, um, all of these, um, SEO tools. Uh, these are the ones we're going to talk about. Have we missed any? Have you got any views on them? And they start and they created a real buzz. They then went away and wrote the article, which obviously all the people that. Yeah. And they'd then, you know, they'd shared it because they'd helped to create it. And, and overall, I mean, the number of views it got was phenomenal. So, you know, a very strategic tactical approach to using it. Um, and, you know, that's one I just mentioned there, but there'll be other one other, other ways of, of exploiting it as well, I would imagine. I used the word exploit.
Did we sound like nasty, mean bad marketers?
That's right. We do sound like all those people that we talk about that we don't like.
But no, I think that idea of like using it to kind of build engagement and build a bit of buzz is a really good one. I think it's just like, like was saying it's less kind of direct impact on your website. It's not going to help you rank. It's just gonna that's your brand.
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, more broadly speaking, before we, we start thinking about winding this one up, um, do you think most people understand what we mean when we talk about content and why you write content, why you put content on your own website, be it a blog or a video or a white paper or an e-book or whatever it happens to be, or whether you're putting it on another website like Pulse or something.
No, I, I would say one of the things that I noticed while doing a little bit of research for this podcast was that an awful lot of people talk about content as if it's something they're kind of duty bound to create, right? It's like, I've got to publish content somewhere and I've got to do X number of times a week. Can I just do it on LinkedIn? Right? I think, yeah, I think that whole idea of like, why that fundamental question of like, why are you doing this is a really important one? Because if you actually sit and unpick it, like if the reason you're doing it is to rank a page in Google so that people can find your business so that you can answer their questions. So I don't know why I'm losing my voice.
It's all right, because there's also a lot of background noise because apparently a very loud, shouty conversation going on across the office, even though they know we're down here recording a podcast. Yes, I do hope you can hear me bumping my gums.
Um, no, I think it's, it's one of those things where if you actually sit and unpick the fundamentals, it's like if you're writing content because you want to get in front of people and show them that you can answer their question, the only logical place to do that is on your website, right? But if you don't ask that question and the thought is just, I need to publish something somewhere, then things like Pulse start to look really attractive because it's easy.
Mhm. That's right. Well, I'm trying to think of, and I can't remember the name of it. There was a very famous article website that, uh, something articles just.
Yeah. It was that was like the go to tactic in the early two thousand.
Caron. Caron. Yeah. What was that article website that we used to use donkeys years ago? Ezines ezine articles, wasn't it? Yeah. That's it. Uh, ezine articles. Many, many, many years ago. I mean, it was, it was like, it's a bit like a forerunner to Pulse, but it's still on the go. Is it? They now send me stats every month of articles I wrote fifteen years ago that are still on there, saying how many times they've been read, which is hardly ever now. Um, how many times somebody clicked on a link that was in an article and stuff like that, but ezine articles was big, big business with that one. It wasn't free. You had to pay to publish your content.
And that was why I think Google started doing that whole like, you know, if you're paying for like, if you're paying to place articles on websites, we're not going to count the links thing and stuff like that, right? Because it was all getting.
Ezine articles got more or less taken down. They were more or less wiped out of Google search results. I mean, it was a good going business. I even remember receiving like a goodie bag from them with like notepads and all that. I mean, they were a really thriving business. And then Google just recognised that what they were doing was selling links. They were selling an opportunity to publish content. It wasn't that expensive. Yeah. Um, and, and I guess that's where Pulse is different because Pulse is, is free to use, but.
Also because of that quite low value, I guess. Yeah.
There's not, there's not, it's from, from what I can see, there's no real quality guidelines there. I mean, if you went in there and wrote two hundred words, I don't think it would pop up and say, are you sure you want to publish this article? It's only two hundred words.
And even if there were no ones gonna review it, right? So you just pad it out.
Well, maybe that's an experiment. Maybe we should get some machine generated nonsense to gobbledygook and stick it on and see if it actually, if Pulse actually.
Accepts.
It. Yeah. Mind you, the only thing I remember, bear in mind is it would get published on your LinkedIn timeline. So it would make you look like a.
I'll do it.
Yeah, because you look like a clown. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay. Um, anything else on content before we start thinking about winding this one up?
I don't think so, no. I mean, only that. Yeah. No, I think that's pretty much everything, isn't it? Just if you're gonna sit down and write a piece of content and you're gonna spend time and you're gonna invest effort in researching it and making it good and making sure it answers people's questions. Just like the best way to make the most out of it is to publish it to your own site. I would say.
Yes, yes, yes, definitely. Um, the only exception might be that, like I alluded to earlier, if you've got an opportunity to write for, you know, say, for example, the Guardian got in touch with us and said, oh, we, you know, we found you online. We understand that you're experts on subject X, Y, or Z.
Well, this has never happened.
We're looking for, for, for a piece of content, a bit of expert. Well, it kind of does because if you think about it, like the, um, the service that we use, the response source and the service that we use, that's their journalists who are looking for content. I mean, in return for providing that content, they'll mention you or link to you sort of thing. So. So it is possible to find other sources. We find other sources for content for our customers, for our clients, certainly. But if if you're struggling to find other sources and you just want to kind of expand, then that's, you know, Pulse is certainly one. Um, but if you're, yeah, if you're, if you're actually interested in getting, um, access to other publications, there are plenty out there. Um, and you know, there are databases of them.
So yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's pretty much everything. Hopefully that answers the question. Yeah.
Everything, everything.
Everything about digital marketing.
Good stuff. What are you up to this weekend? Because it's Thursday isn't it? So it's more or less.
Yeah. Looking after Vivian. Looking after Vivian. Yeah.
That's a title for a book.
Yeah.
Isn't it though? Looking after Vivian.
Vivian is my daughter for the record. And I look after her most days. It's just. Yeah, my wife is working at the weekend, so I am going to be a single dad for the weekend.
Okay, that sounds like a fun packed weekend for you.
It does not. I'll find a petting zoo or something.
It's me. All I'll be doing is playing golf. Fishing? Yeah.
That sounds.
Fun. Yeah, I'm actually doing some maintenance work as well around the house and stuff. So it's not all just fun and games, but it's a lot of fun and games. Nobody's interested in what we're doing at the weekend. They've stopped listening. Now. We could just keep talking because.
