Joe Rogan’s name is everywhere, from podcasting to comedy and MMA commentary, with millions of listeners and followers across platforms.
But how about his SEO? Rogan’s websites, joerogan.com and higherprimate.com, boast impressive stats but still have untapped potential.
What if Joe called Rankingz and asked, “How can we make my websites SEO beasts?” Here’s how we’d approach it.
For people who don’t know: SEO = search engine optimization.
Here’s how Rankingz would tackle it:
“Joe, We Got You” – Understanding the SEO Potential
While Joe doesn’t need more fame, there’s a big difference between fame and optimized searchability. Our mission would be to streamline his online presence, making it as discoverable as possible.
Here’s what Rankingz could do for Joe’s digital empire.
Fight Companion: An MMA SEO Powerhouse
For MMA fans, Rogan’s Fight Companion series is an essential part of the JRE(produced by Jamie Vernon), drawing massive engagement with its real-time commentary on major fights. A dedicated “Fight Companion” page on joerogan.com could anchor Joe’s MMA-related content, linking to top episodes, articles, and gear recommendations.
This page could also highlight famous guests and discussions around popular UFC events, establishing joerogan.com as a prime resource for fight fans.
Joe’s Authority with Strategic Keywords
Joe’s site joerogan.com has an authority score of 46, attracting about 131.6K organic monthly visits. Still, there’s room to target niche, long-tail keywords tailored to Joe’s world.
Top Keywords & Missed Opportunities
- Current Successes: “Joe Rogan podcast” and “Joe Rogan experience” bring substantial traffic.
- Potential Targets: Keywords like “Joe Rogan favorite guests,” “Rogan stand-up tour dates,” and “best episodes of Joe Rogan podcast” could attract niche audiences looking for specific info.
Why It Matters:
These searches would bring in diverse organic traffic, helping joerogan.com become an even richer resource for fans.
Content Strategy with Joe’s Interests in Mind
Rogan’s podcast episodes span martial arts, astrophysics, comedy, and more. There’s ample opportunity to organize this content for better SEO.
Topic Clusters and Pillar Pages
Creating content hubs or “pillar pages” around Joe’s favorite topics could powerfully optimize his site. Examples include:
- Comedy Mothership Spotlight: Highlight Joe’s Austin-based comedy club, Comedy Mothership (comedymothership.com), with an events page featuring show schedules, upcoming acts, and ticket info, driving fans straight to ticket sales.
- Guest Highlights: Featuring top conversations with guests like Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson, and Bill Burr, with summaries and links to episodes.
Repurposing Content
With Joe’s podcasts being long-form gold, breaking down episodes into blog posts, graphics, and summaries could generate fresh, search-friendly content.
Backlink Building: Leveraging Joe’s Network
Joe’s extensive network spans comedy, sports, and science. This could strengthen his backlink profile for SEO.
Strategy Ideas
- Cross-Promotion: Collaborating with former guests on blog posts or social media can secure high-authority backlinks.
- Influencer Collaborations: Using Joe’s connections in MMA and comedy to guest-write on other high-traffic sites could yield valuable backlinks.
Technical SEO: Enhancing Crawlability
Both joerogan.com and higherprimate.com have minor technical issues that, though small, could impact their search performance.
Suggested Quick Fixes
- Schema Markup: Adding FAQ and review schema for podcast episodes and product pages could improve visibility on search engine results pages (SERPs).
- Robots & X-Robots Tags: These are missing, which may affect indexing efficiency.
Why It Matters:
Technical SEO ensures that fans easily find the content they’re looking for, from Joe’s latest episodes to Comedy Mothership shows.
Optimizing Higher Primate: Giving Merch a Boost
Joe’s merchandise site, higherprimate.com, has an authority score of 29, drawing around 2.9K organic visitors monthly. With targeted SEO, it could become a more robust traffic source.
Product Descriptions with Personality
For higherprimate.com, we’d infuse Joe’s unique voice in product descriptions. Instead of a simple “JRE Mug,” imagine:
“Sip your morning coffee with the same intensity Joe brings to the octagon… and the podcast studio.”
Cross-Linking with JoeRogan.com
- Integrated Content: Linking to higherprimate.com from joerogan.com (like episodes where Joe discusses merch) would naturally boost traffic.
- Fan Exclusives: Featuring new products or exclusive merch sections on joerogan.com could help keep fans engaged.
Social Media Integration: Boosting Real-Time Engagement
Joe’s massive social media following is a key asset. Embedding his X feed or Instagram posts on joerogan.com could make the site more dynamic and interactive.
Bonus Idea: A “Tweet of the Week” feature from Joe’s feed or fan-shared posts tagged with #JoeRogan could bring repeat visitors.
User Experience Enhancements
Fans expect a high level of immediacy when they visit Joe’s sites, especially for updates on new episodes or tour dates.
Navigation Optimization
Categories like “Podcasts,” “Tour,” and “Merch” could streamline the visitor journey, letting fans quickly find what they need.
Faster Load Times on Higher Primate
Optimizing image sizes and using lazy loading could reduce load times on higherprimate.com, keeping visitors engaged longer.
Conclusion: Joe Rogan, Meet Rankingz
