🐹 Hamsterdam Weekly TikTok Gems: Bonus Content for Part 65 (7/1-7/7, 2024) 💎

By Ethan Lazuk

Peek inside my FYP as we journey into the personalization of the TikTok algorithm!

If you’re new here, this is a collection of my favorite TikTok content that I found during the last week. 🙌

In short, this is the TikTok content that I wanted to put in Hamsterdam Part 65 but couldn’t because it would’ve slowed down the page’s load time. 📱 🐢

Hamsterdam is already quite packed with X (Twitter), YouTube, and other embeds and images.

📢 PSA: This page may still time out on mobile. Scroll judiciously. 🧑‍⚖️

Here’s a little more context, since this is the second one of these.

Every Sunday, I publish Hamsterdam, a weekly recap of SEO and AI news, plus other content that I think is cool and helpful.

I’d planned to no-index these TikTok pages — after all, who needs ’em?! — but I left the first one indexable, as a test.

Believe it or not, that first one has gotten organic traffic, especially from Bing! And the engagement time in GA4 is solid.

It’s a lot of work to scroll TikTok for gems. I guess there’s value in having someone do that for you. 😅

Welp, let’s keep this one indexable, too, and see where this train goes! 🚊

Without further ado, here’s the TikTok content I found notable this week.

Note, this content might not be super recent. It’s just what I came across this week. A lot of music this time! 🎵

I’ve put subheadings by category. 🤛 And I moved marketing to the top 🔥, though all of these topics are pretty fun:

• Marketing 📣
• AI, ML, etc. 🤖
• Dev & design 👾
• Music 🎧
• Mindfulness 🧘
• Sports ⛳️
• Humor 😭

📣 Marketing & media

I don’t really use TikTok to engage with SEO content, but I find some good general marketing content (or specific to other channels) there. I’ve also added some media-related content this week.

🤖 AI, ML, etc.

👾 Dev & design

Here’s content related to website or other coding and dev work (often with a generative-AI overlap, these days), as well as web or app design trends.

🎧 Music

I’m an avid music listener. Here are videos that struck a chord with me. (Note: these are often best experienced with “cans” (🎧) on.)

I grew up playing sports, but my favorite content showcases the human (and intellectual) sides of it.

😭 Humor

I removed the humor section from the main Hamsterdam recaps, but rest assured there’s plenty of laugh-worthy content on TikTok. This is just what I found funny (which means it definitely isn’t).
