I've been doing SEO for 10+ years. The last 2 years broke all the old rules.

Hey IH,

For anyone bootstrapping a project, SEO has always been the holy grail of free, sustainable traffic. But let's be real: the game has completely changed. What worked in 2020 is now getting sites penalized or simply ignored by Google.

I've spent the last year obsessed with the new challenges:

AI Search (SGE): How do you even rank when Google just answers the question directly?
"Helpful Content": This is more than just good writing; it's about proving deep expertise and authority (E-E-A-T).
Zero-Click Searches: More and more searches are ending on Google itself. How do you adapt?

I got tired of seeing fragmented advice, so I compiled everything I've learned into a no-fluff guide on navigating these modern challenges. It’s my playbook for what's working now.

No email gate. Just the content.
