Top SEO strategies To Improve Your Ranking. Click here to see entire [ SEO Infographic ]

 

Keyword Research

Go on Google and type in the search bar the keyword you are trying to rank for.

Scroll to the bottom of page and see what searches are related to your keyword. Now you get an idea what people search for when typing this keyword.

To find out keyword search volume or difficulty levels for ranking, I recommend using Moz, Ahrefs, SEMrush or Google Keyword Planner.

If you are using one of the paid platforms for keyword research, you can even SPY on your competition and see what keywords they are ranking for.

Focus on keywords with medium to low difficulty scores that have a decent amount of traffic.

 

Content

I am sure you have probably heard somewhere that “content is king?” If not, congratulations, now you have!

When creating content, make sure it matches the type of keyword you are trying to rank for.

Example: I am trying to rank for the keyword, LEADERSHIP. I should write something interesting about leadership and not be talking about who is going to win the Super Bowl.

Article length is important. I recommend keeping the word count between 1,200 to 2,000 words. However, if you can get the point across in 650 words, then stick with that. There is no need to create a bad article that loses the readers interest just to have a long boring article.

Make sure the content is easy to understand.

 

 On Page SEO

Avoid keyword stuffing. Meaning don’t have the same keyword 100 times throughout your article or post.

Try to keep URL permalinks short. Example: http://frankmedina.us/seo/

Optimize your images

Have a catchy page title with informative meta description with a call to action

 

Share

Share your article on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other platform

E-mail publications related to your topic and ask them to publish your work

Post on a blog

Ask your friends or followers to like and share your article

Create a video highlighting the main points of the article and discuss how it can benefit the reader

Tip – When you create amazing content that solves a problem, it has a higher perceived value to the reader who may be experiencing that issue.

 

Link Building

According to a study done by Arefs, they found that link popularity continues to have the highest impact for Google rankings.

The easiest way to rank for a keyword is to have several high-quality links pointing back to your site. This is the easiest part and the hardest part. How do I can high quality backlinks?

Fix your own broken backlinks first. You can find reliable sources for checking broken links just by googling, “broken link checker.”

Reach out to other sites that have broken links with high domain authority and ask to link back to your site. This only works if you have great content to offer.

Become the expert in your field and find questions to answer online on sites like http://Quora.com  or http://Business.com. Consumers love following experts.

 

AMAZING CONTENT + SHARING = BACKLINKS

Results are based upon your level of commitment.

 

Good luck!
