The conditions were first-class, the stadium perfect, yet the performances often disappointing: Chemnitzer FC is stumbling at the bottom of the Regionalliga Nordost and had to wait until matchday 14 for their first home win.
The relief was evident on Robert Zickert’s face. The 34-year-old defender, the oldest and most experienced player of CFC following the injuries to Tobias Müller and Dejan Bozic, summed it up after the much-needed 1-0 victory against VSG Altglienicke: “We’re on matchday 14 and fighting against relegation; after this win, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.”
Team spirit, passion, and effort were the keys to success on Friday evening (November 1) in chilly Chemnitz. Vice-captain Zickert led by example – both on the pitch and vocally. In hectic moments, the veteran tried to exude calm, without wrapping his teammates in cotton wool – and even before the whistle blew, the team was switched on.
The match-winner Jong-min Seo, who scored the only goal of the match in the seventh minute, revealed in an interview with SPORT IM OSTEN: “The atmosphere in training wasn’t great; there were also talks in the dressing room from experienced players.” Those strong words paid off. The Chemnitz side compensated for their lack of ease with grit. They ran, tackled, and celebrated!
It was no coincidence that Seo decided the game with his goal. The 22-year-old has only been in Chemnitz for four weeks, having come from unemployment, and he quickly became a game changer. A stroke of luck for the Himmelblauen (the Sky Blues).
Seo initiated the goal himself. After winning the ball, he passed it to the right wing and headed the ensuing pinpoint cross into the net. A well-rehearsed move! “It was what the coach expected from us,” Seo modestly said after scoring his second goal of the season in just five games. He is thus the top scorer for CFC. The problem for the Saxons lies in their finishing, having scored only seven goals in 13 matches, which is a league low.
CFC coach Benjamin Duda, who took over from Christian Tiffert a few weeks ago, did not start singing praises after the much-deserved three points. “Football is a day-to-day business. It can change quickly. If you win, you’re celebrated to the skies; if you draw or lose, it’s always embarrassing and too little for outsiders.” He sees the overall process over the last eight weeks, noting that there have been many “more good and very good things than worrying ones, which is why this win is a reward for the last eight weeks.”
Duda knows that the pendulum can swing back in another direction swiftly and makes it clear: “We want and need to continue next Friday.” The CFC will then travel to the classic encounter in Leipzig, where league leaders Lok await.
Duda will have to make himself comfortable in the traditional wooden stand. The Chemnitz coach saw red against the Berliners in a heated closing phase because, according to referee Johannes Drößler (FSV Wacker Gotha), he deliberately delayed the game by playing the ball away with his left arm rather than catching it. It was a bizarre and bitter moment, as this season, a coach’s “ball away” actions are punishable by a red card. However, it was the only downside on a night when many stones of relief tumbled in Chemnitz.

What is Zero Click? And how does it affect businesses and their SEO/PPC strategies?
Semrush’s Marcus Tober joins me on the SEJ Show to discuss Semrush’s recent Zero Click study and how this fits into a growing trend in Google.
Get insights on how Zero Click reshapes expectations of traffic, multi-touch attribution, and other traditional Google KPIs.
Zero Clicks for us means there was an initial search and nothing after that. There was no continuation. And we did is we defined a session in a two-minute window. –Marcus Tober, 09:42
The biggest pivot probably in the past decade is that, to your point, someone may click on Google Maps, someone may click on Google Images, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re not reaching the business goal of that user. –Loren Baker, 12:44
As a marketer, we should aim for areas with a hybrid strategy. We need to show up for these transactional commercial searches, even if we know we don’t get to click. We need visibility. We also need to invest in content that might trigger different search results, like, featured snippets, or maybe show up in more visual searches because we have lots of visual content. –Marcus Tober, 19:59
[00:00] – About Marcus.
[04:22] – The difference between enterprise vs. normal marketing solutions.
[08:00] – Is Zero Click negative or positive with planning for SEO?
[08:19] – What triggered the Zero Click study?

Zero Click may mean Google may have answered the user straight away. So there was no need for the user to click to continue anything else.–Marcus Tober, 11:24
I truly believe Google has now found enough motivation to compete against Amazon. That’s why they’re investing so much in all these different ecommerce integrations.–Marcus Tober, 36:58
SEO will be very important in the near end and long term if we understand from which perspectives users are coming. Don’t only optimize on transactional keywords because you can convert this traffic easily in SEO. And then, suddenly, Google launches popular products with checkout, and you lose every traffic. It would help if you diversified to succeed in SEO.–Marcus Tober, 23:45

When two long-time search experts and SEO news giants come together, really interesting things happen.
From the latest trends and strategies to industry news and best practices, these two have seen a lot. And today, they sat down to talk about it.
Barry Schwartz, CEO of Rusty Brick and Founder of Search Engine Roundtable, joined me on the SEJ Show to discuss SEO, business, the search landscape, and even hair products. It was legendary!
Most of the world these days wants to see a five-second TikTok or YouTube short, and they don’t have the patience to go ahead and read something. I think that might be scaring not just advertisers, SEOs, and marketers but Google and Microsoft search ad revenue models and seeing how they can get people to click on those things. This should be interesting. –Barry Schwartz, 17:19
I’m usually very consistent. I’m the type of person who will do something and never stop doing it for better or worse. And it’s just the way I like to be. Have a nice routine where I do certain things in a particular order. And I’m passionate about tracking what’s changing, so if you let things go more than 24 hours, it just gets worse, piles up, and you get behind. So I like to stay on top of it, and honestly, helping the community in my little way makes it all worth it. –Barry Schwartz, 5:22
I try to cover publicly available stuff that anybody else could access without a password. So that’s my rule, it has to be publicly available, and Twitter is a great place where most things are publicly known unless their profiles are limited. –Barry Schwartz, 9:53
[00:00] – About Barry.
[04:46] – What has kept Barry going over the past 20 years?
[09:28] – SEO forums that people should participate in today.
[17:46] – What should the KPIs be behind SEO now with AI here?
[19:13] – Will a new search engine now emerge over Google?
[25:22] – Biggest regret in blogging.
[28:54] – Topic Barry wished he could cover.
[32:46] – Barry vs. Google’s announcement to take down sponsored links.
[38:15] – Is having a Google Plus share button on your blog a ranking factor?
[40:45] – How important is it to have fast site core web vitals?
[51:15] – How to boost authority & rank higher.
[59:42] – How fulfilling has it been to use Roundtable from a religious standpoint?

On ChatGPT, I don’t remember a time in the world of search where or a recent time, maybe the past 12 or 13 years, when things were so exciting. –Loren Baker, 12:04
I think, seeing how Google launches its version. I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people. I think people are going to be wowed as much. It will be interesting to see how Bing adapts. It’s fun to watch how things change things on a day-to-day basis. It’s a super exciting time to be in. –Barry Schwartz, 13:49
If Apple were to launch a Siri AI, then that could be a massive game changer, and that’s the one challenge I see with Microsoft. They have it with Teams on the B2B side, and maybe that’s where they want to keep it. They have it on the desktop but don’t have it in people’s pockets and where people are. So maybe it will be a B2C versus B2B-oriented play. –Loren Baker, 23:40

Google suggests ccTLDs could lose SEO value in years’ time due to creative branding use, urging focus on content and hreflang for international targeting.
In a recent episode of Google’s Search Off The Record podcast, the company’s Search Relations team hinted at potential changes in how country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) are valued for SEO.
This revelation came during a discussion on internationalization and hreflang implementation.
Gary Illyes, a senior member of Google’s Search Relations team, suggested that the localization boost traditionally associated with ccTLDs may soon be over.
Illyes stated:
“I think eventually, like in years’ time, that [ccTLD benefit] will also fade away.”
He explained that ccTLDs are becoming less reliable indicators of a website’s geographic target audience.
According to Illyes, the primary reason for this shift is the creative use of ccTLDs for branding purposes rather than geographic targeting.
He elaborated:
“Think about the all the funny domain names that you can buy nowadays like the .ai. I think that’s Antigua or something… It doesn’t say anything anymore about the country… it doesn’t mean that the content is for the country.”
Illyes further explained the historical context and why this change is occurring:
“One of the main algorithms that do the whole localization thing… is called something like LDCP – language demotion country promotion. So basically if you have like a .de, then for users in Germany you would get like a slight boost with your .de domain name. But nowadays, with .co or whatever .de, which doesn’t relate to Germany anymore, it doesn’t really make sense for us to like automatically apply that little boost because it’s ambiguous what the target is.”
This change in perspective could have implications for international SEO strategies.
Traditionally, many businesses have invested in ccTLDs to gain a perceived advantage in local search results.
If Google stops using ccTLDs as a strong signal for geographic relevance, this could alter how companies approach their domain strategy for different markets.
However, Illyes also noted that from a marketing perspective, there might still be some value in purchasing ccTLDs:
“I think from a marketing perspective there’s still some value in buying the ccTLDs and if I… if I were to run some… like a new business, then I would try to buy the country TLDs when I can, when like it’s monetarily feasible, but I would not worry too much about it.”
As search engines become more capable of understanding content and context, traditional signals like ccTLDs may carry less weight.
This could lead to a more level playing field for websites, regardless of their domain extension.
Here are some top takeaways:
While no immediate changes were announced, this discussion provides valuable insight into the potential future direction of international SEO.
