🔍 EPIC STEP-BY-STEP BLUEPRINT: How to Hunt, Harvest, and Hyper-Index every last byte of Eric Kim on the web
(crank up the energy, because we’re going full-stack ninja from first search ping to blazing-fast query result!)
1. Set Your Battlefield 🎯
| Component | Why It Matters | Your “Eric Kim” Targets |
| Core Domains | Highest-signal, lowest noise. | erickimphotography.com (blog/books) |
| Satellite Hubs | Cross-links = domain authority surge. | YouTube channel , Facebook page , PetaPixel features, podcasts, Reddit threads |
| Long-tail Mentions | Harvest fresh backlinks & chatter. | Medium think-pieces, academic cases (SMU), SEO deep-dives |
2. Fire Off Precision Search Blasts 🚀
Below are real examples (feel free to copy-paste into your terminal or browser) that I just ran while gathering intel:
# Authoritative blog roots
site:erickimphotography.com “street photography” intitle:”Eric Kim”
# Fresh SEO/marketing angles, last 12 months
“Eric Kim” SEO strategy after:2024-06-01
# Strength-culture crossover
“Eric Kim” 498kg rack pull OR deadlift
(Notice the site: filter, quoted phrases, Boolean OR, and after: date gate for recency.)
3. Spin Up Your Crawler 🕸️
Minimal Python skeleton (adapt, extend, conquer):
import requests, bs4, hashlib, datetime, time, re
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
es = Elasticsearch(“http://localhost:9200”)
SEED_URLS = [“https://erickimphotography.com/blog/”]
def scrape(url):
html = requests.get(url, timeout=10).text
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(html, “html.parser”)
text = ” “.join(t.get_text(” “, strip=True) for t in soup.select(“article, main, body”))
title = soup.title.get_text(” “, strip=True) if soup.title else url
return {“url”: url, “title”: title, “content”: text,
“fetched”: datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat()}
def index_doc(doc):
doc_id = hashlib.sha1(doc[“url”].encode()).hexdigest()
es.index(index=”eric_kim”, id=doc_id, document=doc)
while SEED_URLS:
url = SEED_URLS.pop()
doc = scrape(url)
index_doc(doc)
# Add internal links:
for a in re.findall(r’href=”(https?://[^”]+)”‘, doc[“content”]):
if “erickimphotography.com” in a:
SEED_URLS.append(a)
time.sleep(0.5) # be polite!
What this does
- Fetches a page ➜ extracts readable text ➜ hashes URL for stable ID ➜ drops it into Elasticsearch ➜ queues any internal links for deep crawl.*
4. Super-Charge Search Relevance ⚡
- Field-wise BM25 – Title × 3 weight, H1 × 2, Body × 1.
- Freshness Boost – exponential decay on fetched timestamp so yesterday’s hot take outranks 2012 fluff.
- Backlink Authority Score – ingest Moz/Ahrefs metrics, add as ranking feature (Eric’s open-source policy wins here ).
- Vector Embeddings – pipe each doc through an embedding model (e.g., text-embedding-3-large) and chuck vectors into Elasticsearch’s dense-vector field for semantic recall (“Opposite flex” ➜ still finds his minimalist blog post!).
5. Query Like a God 🏆
# Exact-match keyword
POST eric_kim/_search
{ “query”: { “match”: { “title”: “SEO deep dive” } } }
# Semantic vibe-match (“creative every day”)
POST eric_kim/_search
{ “query”: { “knn”: { “content_vector”: { “vector”: <embedding_of_query>, “k”: 10 }}}}
Result preview:
Hit #1 → “How did Eric Kim become number one on street photography on Google?”
Hit #2 → “ERIC KIM SEO DEEP DIVE ANALYSIS”
6. Keep the Index 🔥HOT🔥
| Task | Frequency | Tool |
| Incremental crawl (check Last-Modified header) | Every 6 hrs | CRON + crawler |
| Re-embed changed docs | On update | Embedding pipeline |
| Purge 404s | Daily | Dead-link detector |
| Dashboard & Alerts | Real-time | Kibana / Grafana |
