Hey Product Hunt šŸ‘‹šŸ» Along with @nick_eubanks and @ianhowells, weā€™re the founding team of Traffic Think Tank. We first launched as a private Slack community back in 2018 and since then weā€™ve been hard at work to build on the strong community. This is where our new launch comes inā€¦ Weā€™re excited to share with you the Traffic Think Tank Academy. This is our online learning platform where respected names in SEO & growth spill the beans on the exact processes, tactics, and strategies they use ā€” giving you a front-row seat. Hereā€™s whatā€™s inside: - Filter over 200+ hours of content by topic and skill level to learn the things most valuable to you. - Speed up webinars, download cheat sheets, review process docs, and get right to work. - Get 1:1 help with monthly live Q&As: ask industry veterans anything and get a direct, specific answer you can use. We also run weekly live virtual events for members to join, have discounts on a ton of different tools and services in the perks section. Alongside the Academy, members get access to the Mastermind. This is our online community powered by Slack thatā€™s around 750 members strong. Because it's a paid community, TTT attracts ambitious people who take SEO seriously. Everyone's here to make real connections and get better results. And because it's private, experts share ideas that aren't published anywhere else. There are no "dumb" questionsā€”and nobody's afraid to dish their best advice. We look at TTT as a mini accelerator to gain connections, learn from experts and get access to all the content you need to help grow your business. Weā€™d love to get your feedback on what you think of the new website, thoughts on the product and generally what questions you would have as someone interested in becoming a member (Iā€™m sure youā€™ll be able to speak to some of our members in the comments below, too!). Thanks everyone! Matt.

Iā€™ve been a part of this community for over a year and itā€™s been amazing and Iā€™ll tell you why. The slack group keeps me up-to-date on whatā€™s happening in SEO as well as online marketing in general. When the Academy was launched it took everything to a whole new level. The amount of education in there is like nowhere else Iā€™ve seen. Thereā€™s such a wide variety of video training and the search makes it easy to find. A need for any SEO, beginners to seasoned vets.
Matthew Howells-Barby
@kensavage thanks, Ken! Really appreciate it and REALLY glad you like the new Academy - lots of time went into building that and we're going to be adding a ton more features to it soon, too!
nick eubanks
@kensavage really appreciate all you contribute to this community Ken. It wouldnā€™t be the same without you.

TTT is a great community, useful for anyone in digital marketing that wants to keep learning and discuss their challenges with peers, in private.
Matthew Howells-Barby
@stevenvvessum I think the point you touched on the end is really important. One of the things we've managed to cultivate - at least as much as possible - is a community that trusts one another and is willing to be really open with their problems/solutions knowing that the information stays within TTT.
nick eubanks
@stevenvvessum the privacy aspect is so often overlooked and we definitely donā€™t shine a flashlight on it like we should - so thank you!
Steven van Vessum
@matthewbarby I think Nick, Ian and you have created a place where people feel safe sharing what they're dealing with. So good job!
Astrid M.
Why png logo and icons though? We're in 2020, people.
Matthew Howells-Barby
@heihei_90 we like to describe it as retro. Wait until you see the hit counters we have planned to go in the footer- that will blow your mind.
Ian Howells
@heihei_90 @matthewbarby The logo marquee scroll is almost done. Blinking text is being weird across browsers though. I'm trying, guys!
gee jay
It is the place you want to be if you want to learn and interact with the best in the business. And, you will find value irrespective of your knowledge levels and experience. The knowledge bank of tutorials/walkthroughs/webinars coupled with instant, expert advice is worth it's weight in gold IMHO!
John Porrini
I've been a member of TTT for about two weeks now and this is THE BEST seo and online marketing community out there. I've learned a ton of new stuff already. Thank you!!
Ian Howells
@john_porrini Thanks John - happy to have you on board :)
nick eubanks
@john_porrini thanks so much John
Aarne Salminen
Been in the Tank for a bit over a year now. Been around quite a while in SEO, but first time I have found a community of likeminded propellerheads that are active and open. For anyone wanting to step up the game.
Ian Howells
@aarnejs Thanks Aarne :)
nick eubanks
@aarnejs really appreciate you Aarne. Your experience and perspective adds so much value to this group of people that genuinely value investing in learning.
Ronald Holman
Great idea, wish you all the best with your project!
Veronika Traublinger
Great! Can't wait to look through all the content and awesome insights.
nick eubanks
@veronika_traublinger thanks great Veronika - weā€™re available via DMs if you have anything specific you want to discuss or need help on.
Suganthan Mohanadasan
Fantastic SEO community! Probably one of the best Iā€™ve encountered in my career. Lots of good stuff shared here, and it will cater to every skill level. Iā€™ve been a member since the beginning, and it just gets better every day. I highly recommend it.
nick eubanks
@suganthanmn I donā€™t know what to say man; youā€™ve become an absolutely staple of this community. It legitimately wouldnā€™t be the same without you.
Mark Walsh
Hey guys, Are there videos/lessons on ranking affiliate sites? Like an over the shoulder or best practices etc type videos? Thanks
nick eubanks
@mark_walsh1 Hey Mark, @ianhowells actually has an entire video series called ā€œmoney site from scratchā€ thatā€™s a start to finish walkthrough (all over the shoulder) of starting and building out an affiliate site .
Brandyn Morelli
The value of this community is insane. If you've been on the fence, you're seriously missing out. Smart people, smart conversations, and world class training.
Paul Shapiro
Traffic Think Tank is one of the few online marketing communities that I check on a daily basis. Itā€™s excellent.
Matthew Howells-Barby
@fighto and it's better for having you inside it, Paul (not to mention the amazing video content you produced inside the Academy!).
nick eubanks
@fighto honored that your big šŸ§  is part of the community man
Brendan Hufford
The community itself is worth the money, but what really takes things to a new level is the way the LMS is organized. No matter what you (or your team) needs to learn, it's in there.
Matthew Howells-Barby
@brendan_hufford the Academy was something that we wanted to do right from the beginning but was such a massive undertaking that it just wasn't feasible. Aside from having all the self-serve billing etc. in there that makes everyone's life a lot easier, the ability for us to just scale up the production of content for members has been invaluable for us. We can get better quality and larger volumes of lessons pushed out in much less time than before.
Adrian Nutiu
Hands down the best SEO community I am part of.
Emer McCourt
Howdy All, Traffic Think Tank is an awesome online community where I've personally learned so much from some brilliant 'no holds barred' actionable lessons that have taught me a ton about SEO and data led content strategy. I am a huge fan of what these guys are doing, and have gained massively since joining. I've been learning from different online places for years, but have never experienced anything like the level these guys go to, to provide proper, actionable 'walk throughs' and give away hard-earned insider knowledge. It's a real privilege to part of TTT and get to learn from some of the most generous, knowledgable SEO dudes out there.
nick eubanks
@emermccourt Emer I feel so lucky to be part of your journey and watching you become an incredible SEO
Emer McCourt
@nick_eubanks thanks a million. Made my day :)
Nick Swan
I've been a member of TTT almost from the beginning. It's a great place to get SEO and online marketing questions answered, and the videos help me keep on top of everything. The Stay Updated channel is worth it just by itself as I use it to keep on top of all the latest search related news and updates instead of getting distracted by checking Twitter.
Ian Howells
@nickswan Ha, thanks Nick. Glad we can help keep you from getting sucked into SEO Twitter!
Joe Sinkwitz
I'm a TTT member; it's a great community that's extremely active in the DMs. As a company, Intellifluence decided to give back via the TTT academy last year, which allowed us to provide members with a substantial discount. It worked out fantastically.
Matthew Howells-Barby
@cygnusseo and we really appreciate all your support, Joe! When we look through the usage stats from within the community, we're always surprised to see how much of the activity takes place through private DMs - I think this has been one of the reasons why so many members either partner up on projects or buy/sell to one another over time.
nick eubanks
So honored to be a part of this community. Every week I meet and learn from some of the most brilliant minds in digital marketing from all over the world.
Kaloyan Dimitrov
Hands down, this is one of the best digital marketing and SEO communities I've ever been part of. There's no other place like this where you can get information straight from the source. And now, with the Academy, you have weekly updates on new actionable videos on all-aspects of SEO and marketing. If you are in the sphere, you should seriously think about investing being part of TTT.
