My journey in this field began in the late 1990s when the internet was still in its infancy. I remember the excitement of receiving my first $25 commission check from credit card affiliate programs and building HTML sites using Microsoft FrontPage. Those early experiences ignited a passion that has driven my career ever since. My fascination with technology started even earlier, back in 1982, when I got my hands on my first computer - a Commodore VIC-20. This early exposure to computing sparked a lifelong interest in the intersection of technology and business. I pursued this interest academically at the University of Scranton, where I studied computer science and business management. After college, I embarked on a diverse career path that has given me a unique perspective on digital marketing. I started at GEICO, then ventured into entrepreneurship by running my own commercial insurance agency. Even while working in insurance, I was constantly building websites and honing my online marketing skills. In my mid-30s, I made a pivotal decision to sell my agency and fully immerse myself in the digital world. I worked in the online directory space, which provided invaluable insights into local search and digital presence management. This experience eventually led me to my current roles as a partner in both MAXBURST Web Design and MAXPlaces Marketing, based in Long Island, New York. Throughout my career, I've witnessed and... --- ## Posts ### Google Desktop Discover: My Client's 10,458% Traffic Surge & What Desktop Expansion Means > Learn how Google Discover's expansion to desktop creates new traffic opportunities, plus the exact E-E-A-T, schema, and internal linking strategies that delivered massive results for my clients. - Published: 2025-04-21 - Modified: 2025-04-21 - URL: https://brianwinum.com/google-desktop-discover-my-clients-10458-traffic-surge-what-desktop-expansion-means/ - Categories: Blog, SEO - Tags: EEAT, Google Discover, Reddit, Twitter I recently helped a consulting client skyrocket from 340 Discover clicks to over 35,000 in just a few months—and I'm about to show you exactly how we did it. This transformation is about to become even more relevant for publishers and digital marketers everywhere. Google just ICYMI: Google Confirms Discover Coming To Desktop Search. via @MattGSouthern: https://t. co/hePVZWC7QB#seonews #Google #SEO— SearchEngineJournal® (@sejournal) April 13, 2025 This rollout is happening gradually (classic Google, right? ), with refinements based on user feedback. In fact, one user reported on April 5th that Google attempted to opt them into this experience on desktop—so if you haven't seen it yet, be patient. It's coming. What fascinates me most about this implementation is how it changes the user journey. Instead of starting with an active search, users can now begin their Google experience with passive discovery. As someone who's built strategies around search intent for years, this shift from "seeking" to "browsing" behavior represents both a challenge and an opportunity for how we think about content. The SEO Opportunities (That I'm Already Planning For) Let's talk about what has me genuinely excited: based on current traffic splits in the digital news industry, where approximately 90% comes from mobile and 10% from desktop, experts are estimating that desktop Discover could generate an additional 10-15% Discover traffic for publishers who play their cards right. Having worked with clients who've seen Discover outperform both traditional Search and News, I'm particularly interested in how this expands our distribution channels. At... --- ### The New Age of Authorship: Blockchain Timestamping Meets Google E-E-A-T > Discover how blockchain timestamping protects your content from AI plagiarism while boosting Google E-E-A-T. Learn from real experience with content authentication. - Published: 2025-01-05 - Modified: 2025-04-19 - URL: https://brianwinum.com/the-new-age-of-authorship-blockchain-timestamping-meets-google-e-e-a-t/ - Categories: Blog - Tags: Blockchain, EEAT, ScoreDetect My journey with blockchain-based content protection began in 2017 when I first stumbled upon Po. et (POE), an ambitious blockchain protocol that aimed to revolutionize how creators protect and monetize their digital assets. While Po. et ultimately didn't succeed, it opened my eyes to the tremendous potential of blockchain technology for content authentication and rights management. This early exposure proved invaluable, especially as we've entered an era where Intellectual Property Security Since implementing blockchain timestamping across my content, I've noticed a significant decrease in unauthorized copying. When I do find my content reused without permission, having blockchain certificates makes the resolution process much smoother. I've successfully resolved a few copyright disputes simply by providing the timestamp evidence - no lengthy legal battles required. Digital Rights Management Managing content rights used to be a nightmare, especially when collaborating with others or licensing content. Now, I use blockchain timestamps to maintain clear attribution chains. Every piece of content has its own verifiable history, making it much easier to track usage rights and resolve any ownership questions that arise. Google E-E-A-T Alignment If you've been creating content for any length of time, you've probably heard about Key Features I Use Daily The speed of verification certificate generation has been a game-changer for my workflow - we're talking seconds, not minutes or hours. I've tested it with everything from blog posts to images and social content, and the process remains consistently smooth. The eco-friendly approach, with zero gas fees, means I can timestamp everything... --- ### The SEO Trifecta: Headings, Embeddings, and the Art of the Topic Sentence > Enhance your SEO strategy with advanced techniques: heading optimization, vector embeddings, and strategic content structure. Plus, leverage Google's 100-word relevance focus. - Published: 2024-09-04 - Modified: 2025-01-05 - URL: https://brianwinum.com/the-seo-trifecta-headings-embeddings-and-the-art-of-the-topic-sentence/ - Categories: Blog, SEO - Tags: Heading Vectors, Topic Sentence, Vector Embeddings While SEO has long moved beyond simple keyword stuffing, the importance of certain fundamental strategies remains evergreen. Today, I'm reframing three essential techniques—heading vector optimization, vector embeddings, and strategic topic sentences—to show how they continue to shape effective page-level content optimization for search engines. These time-tested approaches have gained renewed relevance in today's SEO landscape as they align perfectly with Google's increasingly sophisticated algorithms. As search engines evolve to prioritize user experience and semantic understanding, these strategies prove more valuable than ever, transcending simple keyword matching to deliver truly optimized content. When combined, these three elements create a synergy that can dramatically improve your SEO performance. You'll enhance your content structure, improve user experience, and align with SEO best practices. Throughout this discussion, I'll provide practical examples and insights on implementing these strategies in your content creation process. As a bonus, I'll also reveal another easy-to-implement technique that can give your content an extra SEO boost. Research suggests that Google pays special attention to the first and last 100 words of an article when extracting relevance. This insight, when leveraged correctly, can significantly improve your SEO performance. By mastering these techniques and understanding the importance of strategic contextual placement, you'll be well-equipped to create content that not only ranks well but also provides genuine value to your audience. I'm excited to share how you can put these concepts into practice and elevate your SEO strategy. Heading Vector Optimization Heading vector optimization involves structuring content with clear, hierarchical headings (H1, H2, H3,... --- ### Connecting the Dots: PAA, SGE, and the Future of Search Optimization > Navigate from People Also Ask to Search Generative Experience with confidence. Discover actionable SEO tactics to thrive in AI-driven search results. Future-proof your content strategy today! - Published: 2024-08-15 - Modified: 2025-03-21 - URL: https://brianwinum.com/connecting-the-dots-paa-sge-and-the-future-of-search-optimization/ - Categories: Blog, SEO - Tags: Google Patents, PAA, SGE I've long been an advocate for leveraging Google's People Also Ask (PAA) feature as a powerful tool for building authority and driving substantial long-tail traffic. There's real value in scraping PAA questions and using them as Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE), there's been a lot of chatter about the future of SEO strategies. But here's my take: far from diminishing the importance of PAA-based strategies, SGE is likely to make them even more critical. Let me explain why I think the underlying mechanisms of both PAA and SGE are more closely related than many realize. While digging into the source code of PAA search result pages, I came across something intriguing: the presence of 'related-question-pair' elements. These elements seem to point to a question-and-answer graph that Google uses to populate the PAAs. It's a fascinating glimpse into the sophisticated network of interconnected information that Google leverages to enhance user experience. What's particularly interesting is that SGE, despite its cutting-edge AI capabilities, will likely rely on this same graph and data structure to generate its responses. This connection between PAA and SGE underscores the continued relevance of PAA-focused strategies in the age of AI-driven search experiences. I believe that by understanding and leveraging these interconnected systems, we can position our content for maximum visibility and engagement in the evolving search landscape. Understanding People Also Ask (PAA) What is PAA? People Also Ask (PAA) is a dynamic feature in Google Search results that displays a Google's Rich Results Test or Schema Validator... --- ### The Helpful Content Showdown: Google vs. The People > Unlock the secrets of Google's Helpful Content Update! Dive into exclusive expert insights, surprising user preferences, and actionable strategies to boost your content's visibility and value. Don't let your content fall behind – click to master the new rules of SEO! - Published: 2024-08-06 - Modified: 2024-09-11 - URL: https://brianwinum.com/the-helpful-content-showdown-google-vs-the-people/ - Categories: Blog, SEO - Tags: EEAT, Google Patents, HCU Google's Helpful Content Update has reshaped the digital landscape, but a question lingers: Does Google's definition of "helpful" align with what users actually want? The potential disconnect between algorithmic preferences and user expectations presents a crucial challenge for content creators striving to satisfy both search engines and human readers. There certainly seems to be a disconnect between Google's Similarities User-Centric Approach Both the Helpful Content update and E-E-A-T emphasize creating content that is valuable and useful to users rather than content designed solely to rank well in search engines. Helpful Content Update: This update targets content that is primarily created for search engine rankings rather than to help or inform people. It rewards content that satisfies user intent and provides value, originality, and a good user experience. E-E-A-T: This framework is used by Google's Quality Raters to assess the quality of content based on the creator's experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. It is particularly important for "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) topics, where the quality of information can significantly impact users' well-being. Quality and Trustworthiness Both systems prioritize high-quality, trustworthy content. Helpful Content Update: Encourages the creation of content that is original, well-researched, and provides a satisfying user experience.

This score measures the uniqueness of content compared to other documents already presented to the user. Here's why this matters for Catalyst Content: Uniqueness is Key: The information gain score prioritizes content that offers new and valuable information over redundant or repetitive content.

By consistently producing high-quality Catalyst Content, you're more likely to be favored by these algorithms. Content Differentiation: Catalyst Content differentiates itself from other content by focusing on unique insights and comprehensive coverage, thereby improving its information gain score. Implementing a Catalyst Content Strategy To implement an effective Catalyst Content strategy that maximizes information gain, consider the following steps: Identify knowledge gaps: Look for areas in your industry where there's a lack of comprehensive data or analysis. Conduct original research: This could involve surveys, data analysis, or comprehensive case studies.

These not only add unique perspectives but also bring in that crucial element of authority that Google craves. Building Branded Search and Social Signals By focusing on creating a strong brand presence and encouraging social sharing, we're sending powerful signals to Google about the relevance and importance of our content. By focusing on these key areas - information gain, unique audience targeting, opinion-based content, expert contributions, and brand building - we're not just optimizing for Google News. We're creating content that's inherently more valuable, more engaging, and more likely to succeed across all of Google's properties. However, these content-level strategies are just part of the equation. To truly excel in Google News, we need to consider how Google evaluates not just individual articles, but entire news sources.

They're correct in that it's no longer enough to simply target keywords; you need to establish your website as a comprehensive, authoritative source on your chosen topics. This is where website glossaries come into play, serving as a powerful tool for building topical authority and enhancing your overall SEO strategy. Topical authority refers to your website's perceived expertise and depth of knowledge on a particular subject area. Search engines like Google increasingly favor sites that demonstrate a thorough understanding of their niche, rather than those that superficially cover a wide range of topics. By implementing a well-crafted glossary, you can significantly boost your site's topical authority, signaling to search engines that you're a go-to resource in your industry. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just starting your SEO journey, understanding the power of glossaries can give your website a competitive edge and help you climb the search engine rankings. A "simple" list of terms and definitions can boost your SEO efforts, and improve your content quality, user experience, and ultimately, your search engine visibility. The SEO Power of Website Glossaries Enhancing Content Quality and Keyword Optimization A well-structured glossary is a goldmine for high-quality content and keyword optimization.

Understanding and implementing effective category structures isn't just about organization—it's a key strategy for increasing visibility across Google's ecosystem. Category structure has always been a cornerstone of solid SEO practice. It helps search engines understand your site's architecture, improves user navigation, and can significantly boost your internal linking strategy. But in today's digital landscape, its importance extends far beyond traditional SEO benefits. One strategy that continues to yield impressive results is aligning your blog's category structure with the categories used by Google News and similar platforms. This approach not only enhances your site's SEO but also increases your chances of appearing in Google News, Discover feeds, and other news-related surfaces across Google's products. Whether you're a news publisher looking to maintain your presence in Google News, a content creator aiming to break into Google Discover, or simply a blogger wanting to optimize your site structure for better SEO, these actionable insights can help elevate your digital strategy. Why Category Alignment Matters First things first: why should you care about matching your blog categories to those used by Google News? The answer lies in the way Google's algorithms work. By mirroring Google News categories, you're essentially speaking Google's language, making it easier for the search giant to understand, classify, and index your content.

Optimizing for Google Discover can significantly boost your content's reach, increase brand visibility, and drive organic traffic to your website without relying solely on traditional search queries. The benefits of being included in Google Discover are substantial. It can lead to sudden spikes in traffic, expose your content to new audiences, and provide a steady stream of engaged readers over time. Moreover, appearing in Discover feeds can enhance your brand's authority and credibility in your niche. The Importance of Compelling Titles Among the various factors that influence success on Google Discover, compelling titles stand out as a crucial element. Your title is often your only chance to make a first impression. It's the gateway to your content, and it can make or break your success on platforms like Google Discover. A compelling title can be the difference between a user scrolling past your content or diving in eagerly. Your focus should be on crafting titles that not only meet Google's requirements for Discover but also captivate your audience and boost your content's visibility.

This recent move has opened up new opportunities for websites of all sizes to potentially appear across the various Google News channels. However, this increased accessibility comes with its own set of challenges: Original Content and Information Gain. While the entry barriers have been lowered, the responsibility for meeting Google's high standards now rests entirely with website owners. This shift means that content creators and publishers must pay closer attention to optimizing their content and site structure. The focus has moved from simply gaining approval to consistently delivering high-quality, well-structured content that aligns with Google's algorithms and user expectations. In essence, Google has democratized access to its news platforms, but in doing so, it has also raised the bar for content quality and relevance. This new environment presents both opportunities and challenges for publishers, making it more important than ever to understand and implement effective optimization strategies. During my extensive research into optimization strategies for Google News and Google Discover, one concept consistently stood out: "Original Content with Unique Value. " This concept appeared repeatedly across various sources, catching my attention and prompting deeper reflection. As I encountered this concept time and again, it sparked a connection in my mind to another important SEO principle: "Information Gain.

One approach that has emerged as a powerful tool in this new era is the optimization of author boxes to enhance E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authority, and Trust). This strategy has taken on particular significance in light of recent changes to Google News and Google Discover. In a pivotal shift, Google has deprecated its Publisher Center and eliminated the manual approval process for Google News. This means that all websites are now potentially eligible for inclusion in these high-visibility platforms. However, this democratization of access comes with a caveat: sites must now optimize their content and structure to meet Google's exacting standards for potential approval. The focus has shifted from seeking direct inclusion to creating content that naturally aligns with Google's quality indicators. Author boxes play a crucial role in this new paradigm, serving as a key signal of content quality and creator credibility. By effectively leveraging author boxes, websites can significantly boost their E-E-A-T signals, increasing their chances of visibility in Google News and Google Discover. But why are author boxes so important in this context? And how can they be optimized to maximize their impact on E-E-A-T?

As an SEO professional who's been closely following these developments, I believe this change will have far-reaching implications for publishers and content creators. Let's break down what's happening and what it means for the industry: The End of Manual Submissions On, April 25, 2024, Google announced that publishers can no longer manually add their publications to the Publisher Center. This tool, which allowed news outlets to submit their content for consideration in Google News, is being phased out in favor of a fully automated system. For years, the Publisher Center served as a gateway for many news organizations to gain visibility on Google News. It provided a sense of control and direct communication with Google. Now, that's changing. Automated Discovery Takes Center Stage Google is transitioning to an entirely algorithmic approach for identifying and including news content. This means their systems will automatically detect and evaluate news sources without the need for manual submission. While Google has been moving in this direction since 2019, the complete removal of manual submissions represents a final step in this evolution. The company states that content adhering to its policies will be automatically eligible for consideration in Google News and across other news surfaces. The goal is to create valuable, trustworthy content that serves your audience – the tech will follow.
