Jim Boykin shared thisTwenty six years ago I launched a one person company called We Build Pages from my kitchen table with a dial up modem and a passion for helping websites to get ranked higher in Google. Years later we rebranded as the Internet Marketing Ninjas, a team whose average tenure is fourteen years and whose work has fueled growth for hundreds of brands. Today I am thrilled to share our next chapter. Internet Marketing Ninjas has been acquired by and is merging with the brilliant minds at Previsible.io. Jordan, Tyson, and David share our obsession with search, authority, and the power of AI to shape customer discovery. Together we are combining deep SEO experience with cutting edge AI frameworks so clients do not just get found, they get trusted. Our entire Ninja crew is coming along for the ride and I am staying on with more energy than ever. From Google AI Overviews to ChatGPT driven content strategies, we are building systems that keep brands ahead of the curve. If you want to future proof your search presence, chat with us. Check out what the combined team is up to at Internet Marketing Ninjas. https://lnkd.in/gzik2XUJ More News on this announcement: 🔎Previsible blog: https://lnkd.in/gEPavhx9 🔎 Internet Marketing Ninjas blog: https://lnkd.in/gBW9WfM4 🔎Press release: https://lnkd.in/gCH_caSN 🔎 Voices of Search Interview: https://lnkd.in/gYP7PQGm 🔎 Search Engine Land: https://lnkd.in/g7hEJZGy 🔎Search Engine Journal: https://lnkd.in/gDm7N-g6 🔎 Search Engine World: https://lnkd.in/gN2xdjRf 🔎Bill Hartzer: https://lnkd.in/gjUtZRHq #SEO #AI #DigitalMarketing #Acquisition #Leadership

Jim Boykin shared thisOn the 20th I'll be sharing some advice on running an agency, along side some other very smart agency owners that I've respected for years. This is a free event that you can sign up for here https://lu.ma/agencies . I'll be sharing some of what I found that worked for me, and things that didn't work for m since I've founded Internet Marketing Ninjas 23 years ago...and why we've maintained ~40-45 Ninjas for the past 7 years. My goals and my philosophies of how I run Ninjas might surprise you.

Jim Boykin liked thisJim Boykin liked thisRecently, I was asked for a one-time consulting gig; to talk to what’s probably a large investor about the WordPress ecosystem. Happens quite regularly, and it’s something I enjoy doing. We agreed on an hourly rate. Then they sent me the contract. And that’s when it fell apart. The contract basically said: - If I don’t invoice in 45 days, I lose my pay. - If the client complains, the company decides if I get paid at all. - They can terminate me anytime, for any reason, without notice. - They can record and share my conversations with third parties unless I opt out in advance. - They can collect and share my personal data with “third-party sources” and “aggregated commercial use.” This kind of one-sided nonsense might’ve flown five or ten years ago. Back when people didn’t have access to legal analysis tools or the time to parse every clause. But in 2025? It takes 30 seconds to drop a contract into ChatGPT or any other LLM and ask: “Should I sign this? If not, explain which clauses should give me pause.” The asymmetry is gone. The fine print is visible. If your business depends on people not reading your terms, you don’t have a business, you have a trap. So here’s the deal: make fairer contracts. Or don’t do business.

But then after working for him, and with his team for nearly 2 years, it all made sense! Don't get me wrong, I still think hes crazy, but I am grateful for the time I spent as a ninja and all of the crazy lessons I learned!

We believed in the vision of the Ryte team and the value of an integrated Enterprise website experience product. Now even more 💪 This week we can celebrate the launch of our new Semrush Enterprise Site Intelligence formerly known as Ryte. While this is the beginning of the journey being integrated in our Enterprise platform, it is also a major milestone for the Ryte team and teams in Enterprise Solutions. You’ve done a fantastic job collaborating and building a new top tier website experience product. I’m very proud of the result and excited to see how the new product is going to grow and crush it. Cheers 🍷 Marcus and congratulations to all teams involved on the migration and the GTM launch like Andreas Mauter-Linington, Andrea De Luisi, Danny Linden, Ben Barten, Dr. Inga Linda Toma, Mike Itkin, Alice Etropolszky, Anastasiia Sheremeeva, Alexander Bershadsky, Benjamin Scherf, Muhammad Talha, Yury Gargay and many more.

Jim Boykin liked thisJim Boykin liked thisJust heard the news about Alan Bleiweiss. He was passionate (occasionally to a fault), knowledgeable, but the thing I'll remember most is that he was generous without hesitation. He dropped everything to be with Dana and Ed during her last days, and he cared deeply about bringing the community together in any way he could, even when he barely had the energy to keep his own practice running. Our industry's reputation can take a beating sometimes, but it holds a deep thread of generosity, and Alan will be sorely missed.

This is an important read from Joel Oquendo, especially for brands, big (especially big) or small, who have ignored technical debt and it's impact on driving organic growth, adapting to new search experiences, as well as providing a great post-click experience. This goes beyond SEO, and requires a "lock-step" effort across Optimization, Product, Technology, UX and Creative to be successful.

Google Search ranking volatility heating up again I am seeing some early signs of yet another unconfirmed Google Search ranking update with more volatility touching down today, February 10th. The chatter within the SEO community is starting to spike, and some of the third-party tracking tools are showing volatility. https://bit.ly/4a8s5Q2

What video stats matter most for my D2C business? The top 3: 📈 Engagement Rate (ER) 🧲 View-through rate (especially first 3 seconds) 💸 CTR on product links or CTAs When we shifted one client’s video cadence based on ER drops, they regained momentum fast—+34% engagement within 2 weeks. We know what numbers to chase—and when to pivot.

Video transcription has evolved from an accessibility nice-to-have to an SEO essential in 2025. Properly implemented transcripts significantly improve video discoverability and engagement. Best practices for SEO-optimized transcripts: - Use professional transcription for accuracy - Format with timestamps for easy navigation - Include speaker identification for multi-person videos - Optimize with relevant keywords naturally incorporated - Add the transcript directly on the page, not just as a download - Structure with proper headings and paragraphs Beyond SEO, quality transcripts make your content more accessible and repurposable across channels. Are your video transcripts working as hard as they could be for your SEO? #VideoTranscription #ContentAccessibility #VideoSEO #ContentRepurposing #DigitalInclusion

The article debunks myths in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), dismissing unproven tactics like llms.txt files and overstated schema markup, while emphasizing content freshness, authority, and integration with traditional SEO. It urges the adoption of evidence-based strategies for AI visibility, warning against hype and ethical pitfalls. Ultimately, high-quality content drives success.

If you want to know why URL structure and page titles are important, for a while in the "twenty teens" the single most competitive search term was.... Home So many websites lacked optimization on the home page that Google was indexing the page for simply "Home". If you have never had your website optimized for organic search, or it's been a while, reach out to us today Armada Digital Agency. #SEO #onsiteoptimization
