Most insightful and valuable advice you ever got from experienced SEOs
Folks! Share the most insightful and valuable advice you ever got from experienced SEOs
For me, it was about Tech SEO and Log file analysis. It was a topic I’ve always avoided and didn’t want to dive deeper, bcs it seemed too techy. I mostly work with multi-page e-commerce websites. So, when I’ve tried to do it manually I was ready to give up and it all seemed useless. A big amount of data in sheets drove me crazy. It took a ton of time and energy.
Then I figured out that there are tools for that like [oncrawl](https://oncrawl.com) , [botify](https://botify.com) , etc. that makes it much easier! But after I’ve tried [jetoctopus](https://jetoctopus.com) it completely changed my approach to on-page optimization, technical SEO in general, and Log file analysis in particular. It’s easy to use, there are huge amounts of data overlapping and really insightful and clear visualization. It’s complex and integrates with GSC and works as a SaaS crawler, and works on the fly. As for the pricing, it appeared the most affordable on the market and flexible. Depending on your pages amount and the modules you want to use.
So, Don’t underestimate LOGS and pay attention to BOTS’ behavior and Log analysis. At the end of the day I gained such insights using it:
* Detect issues with Crawlability and improve it,
* Find Bots that need to be blocked,
* Get informed of technical errors in real-time,
* Discover crawling budget and crawling budget WASTE,
* See correlations between Bots’ behavior and on-page SEO quality
* Know exactly which pages are frequently visited and beloved by bots and which are not and why!Please share your advice “from an expert”! And how has it changed your SEO?

I remember once, around 2002 or so, a gray-haired SEO guru I met in a dustyold tavern gave me advice I’ve remembered to this day:
*Don’t spam subreddits, even if your spam is poorly disguised as an honest question.*
