I've just come up with an AWESOME idea for a content format I've never seen before:

16 SEOs to follow in 2022 🎉

Strap yourself in for a MEGA THREAD...
1) Janet O

Janet says things like, 'you can't have SEO without O... Janet O'.

No one knows that this means.

In her spare time, she enjoys walks on the beach, classical music and canonical tags.
2) Secret Steven

Secret Steven is making big waves & has won loads of industry awards.

Only problem is he's so secretive, no one can find him to give him his awards.
3) Jim Tippins (aka PowerFoxOutlaw)

The person to follow to read 47 daily tweets about his routine & work ethic.

Apparently he is CRUSHING it.

Nothing like all the other tech bros, Jim is into crypto, has his own podcast, newsletter and loves to hustle (even on weekends).
4) Bridget 'The Barbarian' Smith

No one knows how she got the nickname 'The Barbarian'.

But a junior SEO questioned her site structure once and she hit them with an axe and then chugged a goblet of mead.

Classic Bridget.
5) Morgan Lam

The link building master.

Once built 200+ DR 90 links using only a paper clip, 4 gallons of whipped cream and a Persian cat.
6) Neal Batel

The self-titled king of content!
7) Captain Planet

Anonymous SEO who has adopted the persona of a cartoon character.

For legal reasons is not allowed within 40 yards of networking events.
8) Dirk Thunderpiss

CEO of bestvacuumcleanersnearme.net
9) Sarah Mortimer

Ranks B2B sites using a proven framework.

Some say, she has to wear industrial strength sunglasses because her rankings are so good, if she looks directly at the upward graphs she will melt her eyeballs.
10) Darren Cheeseman

Who ranks sites and smells like cheese?

Not Darren, but probably someone.
11) Bill Whittlingham

Newcomer but super enthusiastic!

Always quick to offer snarky advice despite only being in the industry 27 minutes.

May or may not access the internet via his smart fridge.
12) Payton Lighthouse

Agency owner who tweets a lot of stuff I don't understand but I am sure is very good.

Apparently really into NFTs but they never mention it.
13) Alex Ranker

Destined to be an SEO.

Not because of her surname, but because of 'the prophecy'...
14) Dakota Green

Industry veteran with 40+ years experience.

Apparently immortal.
15) Uncle Bulgaria

Old school SEO who doesn't actually do SEO anymore (and hasn't for many years).

But has lots of advice to offer that is definitely up to date and relevant.
16) Roger Gammon

Randomly assigned to (largely) female SEOs to offer unwarranted advice and be condescending.

Keep up the great work Roger!
---

I really hope this list of the best SEOs to follow in 2022 has helped improve your (professional + personal) life beyond your wildest dreams.

Does Wikipedia give you enough data to create a topic cluster (for a niche you know nothing about)?

Let's find out...
DISCLAIMER: If you want to build a comprehensive topic cluster, there's no substitute for proper research

BUT, that's not always possible (no budget/time, etc)

Treat this as minimum viable niche research (MVNR) which I sadly don't see catching on as the next big #SEO acronym 😅
For this example, let's build a simple content plan around the topic *personal injury lawyer*

(which I know NOTHING about)

First up, see if theres a wiki page:

Reverse engineer the SERPs for content ideas ⚡

Google the term + scrape the top ranking URLs.

Niche selection vs analysis paralysis, it's a fine line.

To avoid procrastinating when building content sites, I use a *very* simple checklist before I do anything.
My philosophy for building content sites:

Niche sites are places to experiment + generate additional income. I don't want to spend all my time building, managing or putting all my eggs in one basket.

I want to front load content, get it ranked, revisit + improve.
So based on that, here are the things I look for when deciding to build out a site.

How to find easy to rank keywords (based on domain age)
The premise of this method is simple:

Find young websites ranking for terms you want to rank for.

If a new-ish site with low authority can rank for a KW, so can do too with a more established site (probably).
1. Get URLs

Google a keyword you want to rank for.

Update search settings to show 100 results

Copy all page URLs
