How To Increase Traffic With SEO

View Comments

There are hundreds of ways to increase your SEO ranking in Google and the other major search engines. But the question here what are the most EFFECTIVE ways to increase your SEO ranking.

Right now we are going to cover 3 basic tips that will help you move on up in Google.

#1 – Write content that people will love. This is probably the most fundamental concept yet the most overlooked because people always want to saturate their articles with as many keywords as possible. While sometimes this strategy can get you ranked well it will result in poor readership. People don’t repeat keywords naturally when they speak so don’t do it in your writing either.

And to further drive this point home Google’s algorithm is always getting more and more advanced. It’s called the Latent Semantic Analysis or LSA for short. What this does is intelligently learn what words are commonly used together, in the same context or in close proximity to each other. They cannot, for example, learn through their index that Zebras and Tigers are both examples of striped animals, although they may realize that stripes and zebra are more semantically connected then ducks and stripes.

#2 – Write to get comments. With the recent emergence of Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and many others Google has not given comments a major bump in search relevancy. What this means is that the more comments and article, video, or whatever else has the more it’s going to come up in Google. So for you this means you need to write a controversial article that gets your readers attention and makes them want to comment. When you start getting comments, make sure you go back in and reply to each person individually so they feel included in the conversion.

#3 – Create tons of backlinks. This strategy has always been on of the best ways to get solid Google rankings. It may be a little time consuming but if done properly you can lock yourself into the top 10 results on Google for just about any keyword you want. There are literally hundreds of different ways to build backlinks. Just a few of those ways would include commenting on blogs related to your niche, buying textlinks or banner advertising space, and writing articles that drive traffic back to your website.

All three of these methods are powerful tools that you have a your disposal and can get your excellent rankings if you apply them in the right way. The difference between what you have now and the results your want is simply taking action. If you do nothing you will not see any results. But if you implement what you learn here then you will benefit.

    Hey Matthew!
    So much to read! So many great articles!! I learned a few things about SEO which I don't really know anything about, so thank you!
  • As a new blogger, I'm oblivious to keyword loading and unfortunately to SEO as well. I guess in that vane, I'm at least good on #1 & #2 just by not knowing much about doing the things you say don't do. I typically write the way I speak but the backlink thing is I hadn't thought about. I am going to check out the book you mentioned because afterall, what's the point of blogging if you don't get readers or get ranked in the search engines. Thanks so much for sharing, I appreciate it
