About Me
Building SEO tools and creating comprehensive guides on topical authority, keyword research, and content strategy. 20+ years of experience in technical SEO and content optimization.
Real Experience, Real Results
Over the last two decades, I've worked on sites ranging from small niche blogs to large content platforms, helping them grow from zero to millions of organic visits through topical clustering and technical SEO.
Real Example:
I built and scaled YourPrivateProxy.com to rank #1 for highly competitive terms like "buy private proxies" and "private proxies" — driving consistent organic traffic and revenue for years.
Note: The site currently needs a technical rebuild (PHP → Next.js), so I'm not actively optimizing it right now. Once the migration is complete, I'll scale it again using the same strategies built into TopicalHQ.
I've seen what works across different niches, algorithm updates, and content scales — and I've built TopicalHQ based on the strategies that consistently deliver long-term growth.
My SEO Journey
I started working with SEO in the early 2000s, through the Panda/Penguin era, mobile-first indexing, and now AI-driven search — adapting strategies as ranking systems evolved.
What used to work (keyword stuffing, exact match domains, link spam) died years ago. What still works is building comprehensive topic coverage, demonstrating expertise, and earning trust signals over time.
How I Actually Use This
The workflows inside TopicalHQ are based on how I personally plan content: starting from entity coverage, validating topic depth, then expanding into clusters only when semantic gaps are closed.
I don't believe in publishing 100 shallow articles. I believe in publishing 20 comprehensive pieces that actually answer what users are searching for — and Google rewards that approach.
Areas of Expertise
My SEO Philosophy
Topics > Keywords
Google doesn't rank individual keywords — it ranks comprehensive topic coverage
Coverage > Volume
20 great articles beat 200 shallow ones every time
Systems > Tactics
Sustainable growth comes from repeatable processes, not one-off tricks
Authority > Tricks
Build real expertise and trust signals, not algorithm loopholes
What I Disagree With
I don't believe keyword-first SEO works long term. Google doesn't rank keywords — it ranks topic coverage and trust signals across time.
I also disagree with the "publish daily" advice. Frequency doesn't matter if you're publishing shallow content. Quality and comprehensiveness beat publishing cadence.
And I strongly believe that AI content isn't the problem — low-quality content is. AI is a tool. How you use it determines the outcome.
Community & Recognition
My work and experiments are frequently discussed in SEO communities and forums focused on topical authority, content systems, and AI-assisted publishing. I actively share insights, methodologies, and real results with the SEO community.
Who This Is NOT For
TopicalHQ isn't for churn-and-burn sites or people chasing short-term loopholes. It's built for long-term authority and sustainable organic growth.
If you're looking for "rank #1 in 24 hours" tactics or want to spam low-quality AI content at scale, this isn't the right tool. I built TopicalHQ for professionals who think in years, not days.
