Do you have any SEO secret tricks that is not known publicly?

Honestly, there are no secret SEO tricks that Google doesnt already know. If something really work, eventually become common knowledge. Instead of chasing shortcuts, its better to focus on what actually helps in the long run. Improving your existing content, working on pages that are already getting some visibility, and linking your pages properly can bring good results. Writing in a clear and helpful way for real users matter more than repeating keywords. Paying attention to real search terms, improving page titles for better clicks and cleaning up low quality pages also helps. SEO gives results when you stay patient, consistent and focus on genuinely helping users.
 
Hi bopeep, that’s a great question. In the agency world, especially at Rankmancer, we’ve moved away from 'hacks' and started focusing on what I call 'Entity Proximity SEO', which is rarely discussed in public SEO circles.

Most people focus on keywords and basic backlinks, but the real 'secret' we use is manipulating the Link Graph Proximity. We don’t just look for a niche-relevant link; we map out if the linking domain is already mathematically 'close' to high-authority entities in the Knowledge Graph. By securing links from sites that Google already trusts as 'authoritative sources' for a specific entity, we’ve seen rankings move much faster than just chasing high DR numbers.

We've been using this approach for over two years now, and the consistency is remarkable. It’s not a quick 'button-push' hack, but once you align your client's site with the right entities, the 'trust' transfer is massive and much more resilient to algorithm updates. It’s basically about speaking Google’s mathematical language of nodes and edges rather than just content and links.

Curious to know if anyone else here is looking at link building through the lens of the Knowledge Graph yet?
 
I dont get the love for SEO honestly, and this is from the guy that started SERPWoo and ranked on websites like DMOZ and Yahoo Directory before Google was a name.

You all could have been doing paid, and made 100x more NET in 1/5th the time frame if you moved from the model you picked.
