There was a lady who was a fantasy fiction writer. She had published a few fantasy fiction books on Amazon, but she wasn’t getting any sales. So she started a blog, in order to get some traffic, build an audience of fantasy fiction lovers and sell her own books to them. She was publishing new articles quite regularly for almost a year, but her blog wasn’t getting any traffic, her audience wasn’t growing and, as a result, she wasn’t making any sales of her self-published books. Why? She had made a mistake that most new bloggers and even some professional bloggers make. You’ll learn what that is in this video. #bloggingmistakes #blogging #seo #bloggingforbusiness Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.

A page doesn't rank in Google for a single keyword only. Take any search query and there will likely be hundreds, sometimes thousands, of other ways to put it. And Google tends to rank pretty much the same pages for all these relevant search queries. So, even though your page might rank poorly for your target keyword, it can still get decent search traffic from all these variations. That means that you can easily optimize your content to rank for more of these long-tail variations. You’ll learn how to do this in the video. #contentoptimization #blogging #seo #bloggingforbusiness Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.

There are two great strategies to grow traffic to a blog. First is to build “viral traffic” — the one that comes as a result of generating buzz in relevant communities and reaching out to influencers asking for support. And second is to use “SEO” (Search Engine Optimization) — the one that comes as a result of putting effort into making your content rank high in Google. In reality, both can’t exist without the other. There’s no way to consistently go viral and not get a single visitor from Google. Likewise, there’s no way to pull massive traffic from Google and not have a single person share your content on Twitter or Facebook. But, for the sake of the video, they will be discussed individually. In this video, you’ll learn about the main challenges associated with each strategy and why we favor SEO over viral traffic. #growyourblog #blogging #seo #bloggingforbusiness Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.

Analyzing your competitors' backlink profiles can lead to a goldmine of link building opportunities, which you wouldn’t otherwise be able to discover. But some competitors have tens of thousands of backlinks. So there’s no way you can review them all manually—it would take too long. So how do you analyze big backlink profiles of your competitors without going crazy? First, find their superfans. Superfans are people who consistently link to someone. If someone is so eager to link to the content of your competitor, they might be interested in your content too. How do you find these superfans? You’ll learn how to do this in the video. Next, find the “power linkers”. You can find websites that link to a few blogs that you’re competing with, but they have never linked to your own blog. You’ll learn the step-by-step process of doing this in the video. Finally, you can analyze their latest backlinks. Chances are, many of the websites who are linking to your competitors probably did so quite a long time ago, but they’re not actively updating their website anymore. While there’s still a chance to persuade them to link to you, the likelihood drops rather significantly. So, it’s better to look at the most recently acquired links of your competitors. You’ll also learn how to do this in the video. #competitorbacklinks #blogging #seo #bloggingforbusiness Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.

Oftentimes, people may use different search queries to look for the exact same thing in Google. And Google is smart enough to understand that these searches are similar and therefore ranks the same page for all of them. Here at Ahrefs, we studied over 3 million Google searches to answer this question. And according to our data, the #1 ranking page will rank for about a thousand related keywords in the top 10. Which leads us to the following takeaway: Search volume of a single keyword is a bad indicator of the total search traffic potential of the article on that topic. So, don’t make content marketing decisions based on the search volume of a single keyword. Instead, you should look at the total search traffic a page is receiving. You’ll learn how in the video. #keywordresearch #blogging #seo #bloggingforbusiness Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.

You see all these big sites dominating Google, but, hey, we're not all big sites, we're not all billion-dollar companies. What happens if we have a small website with little to no backlinks, very little content? Is it even possible for us to get rankings on Google? Today I'm going to break down how to rank smaller websites fast in Google in 2020. RESOURCES & LINKS: ____________________________________________
How to Do SEO For A Tiny Site With No Backlinks : https://youtu.be/Y772PSqmudo How to Leverage Content Marketing When You Have No Traffic (Small or New Websites) : https://youtu.be/DGaYx22GXNw Ranking 1-Page Websites in Google for Fun & Profit [article]: https://gaps.com/one-page-google/
____________________________________________ Look, here's something that you may not know. Google's diversity update in June 2019 gave different types of sites more opportunities to rank by limiting the number of times a single domain can appear in a single SERP. A single website can't rank more than two times in a SERP. That excludes branded key terms, of course. But this allows smaller sites to have a chance to rank among the big dogs like Amazon, or Microsoft, or whoever else it may be that's dominating the SERPs. So, how do you go out there and rank your new site that's small, really high, at a quick time period? Well first off, you can start with exact-match domain name. Now a lot of people say exact-match domain names don't work as well as they used to, and that's correct, but they still do. Now creating a domain that's a exact match to the service or product you're selling is a great way to get some traction in the SERPs. This works specifically well for localized keywords and long-tail keywords. It doesn't work well for head terms. If your site gets a little traffic, scoring an exact-match domain name could get you a spot really high up in the SERPs. Gaps.com did a study on exact-match domain names for one-page sites. They tested multiple exact-match domain names and created small sites for those domains. And this is what they found. The next thing that you can do is build one-on-one engagements with customers. Where big brands often tend to ignore is small things like personal engagements with their customers. This is how I compete with really large companies. You'll see that I respond to comments on NeilPatel.com, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, even Instagram. I'm pretty much everywhere, why? Because I care about you and I care about your success. And, just doing that more personal approach will start gaining you those social signals, which will help you with your search engine rankings. Next, I want you to focus on long-tail keywords. Focus on the less competitive key terms that big brands typically ignore. Focusing on long-tail keywords is a great way to find high-quality traffic. Since long-tail keywords are typically more specific in nature, scoring them typically generates more leads, more sales, more conversions. Now, if you're looking for these long-tail keywords, the easiest way to find them is you go to Ubersuggest, you type in a keyword that's a head term, and it'll show you in the keyword ides report all the long-tail variations, and even other head term variations of that keyword. Next, I want you to create valuable specialty content in your niche. Did you know that Google prefers niche sites over broad sites? Since your site is a smaller site, you can have a complete focus on your specialty and niche. This will help you do better than your competition. This allows you to provide more value for your users in your content, which is often ignored by those larger companies. You can become the credible go-to source for anything in your vertical. Just look at Backlinko.com. Brian Dean is known as the link guy in the SEO industry. He's really gotten niche specific. Sure he does more than that, and he's smart, and he's an amazing guy, I've known him for years, but taking that niche was really smart by him. This allows you to offer more value than any broad site out there, which then, in turn, helps with your rankings in the long run. Next, you want to make your site mobile-friendly. I can't reiterate this enough. Google has mobile-first indexing, and over 50% of the searches are now done on mobile devices. So having your site optimized for mobile devices is huge. If you're not doing this, you're not going to do well. So make sure your site's responsive, and it loads fast. ► If you need help growing your business check out my ad agency Neil Patel Digital @ https://neilpateldigital.com/ ►Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ScRTwc to learn more secret SEO tips.
