I’m sure you could use the same advice for your SEO strategy. The Perez Notes, According to My Google Analytics Account will show you the steps that I took in order to get more traffic.
The data is all real, it’s not made up. The key to getting more traffic from Google is to think about your website as a whole and optimize each individual page for SEO. The steps are simple, but I definitely had lots of help along the way!
Join Facebook Blogging Communities:
The evidence is clear that if you want to get more traffic on your blog, the best thing you can do for yourself is to join Facebook communities. The benefits are plentiful and it’s really easy to find relevant groups with specific types of people who will love reading what you have written. The only challenge here would be finding great content ideas. So that when you post in these FB communities, they actually engage with your posts. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing since it forces us to think outside of our own blogging bubble!
The following list can give insight into what these are:
- Optimize Site Pages First
- Create Useful Content That Is Valuable To Your Audience
- Get Links From Relevant Websites And Social Media Platforms
- Increase The Number Of Visitors Entering Their Contact Information On The Website
- The Higher The Page Authority Of The Link, The Greater The Value
- Have A World Class Customer Service Department To Boost Your SEO Rankings And Increase Sales
- Identify The Most Important Keywords For Your Website And Create Content Around These Topics
- Add New Pages With Relevant Information That You Can Optimize For Google Search Results.
The Higher The Page Authority Of The Link, The Greater The Value:
This means that when someone links back or references another page of yours with their own content. Those specific pages will show up higher within search results. If they happen to contain the primary keyphrase you were optimizing for at some point on the page as well.
Have The Keyphrase On The Page Title:
The page title is one of the most important pieces that search engines are using to determine how relevant a specific website or piece of content will be for certain keyword phrases.
Have The Primary Keyword In The URL:
Again, this is another key element within Google’s algorithm determining whether or not you should come up in local results and general organic rankings as well.
Make Sure The HTML Tags Are Optimized Properly:
Most people don’t realize just how much information can be contained between those tags! It goes beyond simply inserting keywords again and again into your writeup; it has everything to do with where they appear on your page as well as what other elements surround them. The title tag is an especially important one, as it gets used by Google and other search engines to determine the topic of your page. The meta description tag should also be well written to ensure that you’re properly communicating what value your content provides for those who land on it via ranking in a results list or clicking through from another site (i.e., social media).
Include Internal Links To Other Blog Posts:
This helps readers see other relevant posts within your blog while increasing the likelihood that someone will click on them. And go check out whatever else you have going on!
Create A Unique Title For Each Post:
The first thing people come across when viewing any given article should include some element that clearly separates it from anything else they’ve seen recently.
The Best Way to Use Keywords:
The keywords you use throughout your post (in the title, meta description, H tags and body) determine whether or not it shows up in search results for people that are looking for information related to those keywords.
Images Are Important:
Include images within your content whenever possible because even if Google can’t see them directly (because of their robots). They’re able to crawl and index the alt text on any given image so having a relevant caption is important!
The Importance Of Page Speed:
It’s been shown time and again how users lose interest when faced with slow loading speeds online. So make sure yours quickly will increase engagement levels.
Responsive Design Is The Future:
People are visiting websites on more devices than ever before. So having a responsive design that adapts to any screen size is the best way to keep all your visitors happy.
The Most Important Keywords To Optimize For Google Search Results:
The main keywords that you want to optimize your site for. These are the ones where users will be typing in before clicking on a result from your website. They have more value than other, less important keywords. Because they relate directly to what it is you do and how people find out about your company online.
