This is Destined Boy – How to improve your blog ranking.

The way of blogging has taken another dimension.

You shifted the strategy.

This lead to another blogging style.

With that, you never bring up a new idea.

Then, you ask yourself. What’s next to do?

Well, you aren’t left alone.

But, take it this way, if you walk through a street. What makes you feel you will travel back?

In the same way, you’re an SEO expert, you’ve been for years, but how does that help Google algorithm change?

Do you have an answer to that?

If not.

Then this article guide will be of help to the above questions.

Now, let’s begin to take it one at a step.

How to grow your blog traffic:

1. The revolution of blog SEO

2. Split test your title tag

3. Improve your ranking speed

4. Do the On-page SEO needful

5. Correlate keywords in different ways

6. Begin your content with keyword research

7. Publish high-frequency content

The revolution of blog SEO has changed to the acronyms “EAT”…………………# STEP 1

This slag is becoming one of the most used words in the SEO industry. The acronym “EAT” is raising a lot of alarm in the inbox of an SEO expert.

Although the acronym stands for Expertise, Authoritative, and Trustworthiness.

Then, what does that mean to you?

It means that the probability of ranking higher on the search engine result list has been cut short due to the algorithm change. Such change has propelled a lot of awareness that marketers don’t know about, but they only sense it.

Because of this, Google is extremely worried about quality content with no EAT fact.

What do I mean by the statement above?

With that, Google doesn’t want to give a higher value to quality content anymore, due to that, it is after the examination of content before getting rank.

That way Google will be able to deliver the right information to it’s end-users but not the wrong information.

Well, this brings me to my point that, the inaccuracy of content will be sanction badly by the recent Google algorithm. The revolution of the algorithm change has shown a way Google got itself better and for a better strategy.

Then do we have to say no more backlinks, but just the right information?

The above question goes this way.

if a blog has the right links and quality backlinks signal to rank well but the content is inaccurate. Such a blog will be penalized by Google algorithm, in spite of the good signals in its stock room.

Because of this, Google is now worried about the end-product of a content that’s delivered to its end-users.

Then how can we get the deal done?

I believe anything that worth it should be worth doing.

And this has shown to me how we have to reverse our tactics towards every approach made.

The SEO world is no longer about the years stayed, but the years you keep advancing and adjusting your ways.

That way you’ll gain much foresight into how the market place seems to work.

In my own case, in my blog, those articles you see in there are trash……then I was in a dreamland…..but now I am alive and that’s it.

I can’t just help myself by deleting them all.

But still, I just have to change the way I blog right from the previous article to effectively link up with how productive I am.

That’s the way to think.

That way you’ve something to blog about every time to your audience.

Well, it may take time and heaping helpings, but it will come out being fruitful, in it, change is inevitable.

But now, what I did for myself is to change my reasoning because I know the way I can be better is to keep changing.

This made me realized at that time, I’ve been sounding more like a new teacher but now as a professor.

This travels me back to the point I need to make, the inventory of the post made below shows the tactics needed to boost your ranking in the long run.

• Guest Post: Since the algorithm change entails Expertise, Authoritative, and Trustworthiness. Then I believe the only way this can be achieved is when the guest posting strategy comes to play.

This method has been the best for years, with that, many SEO experts have abode by the policies executed when leveraging in guest posting.

Using this method, it has added more value, the authority to an author, not just that, it seems to make you travel farther than you think; therefore, guest posting on popular related niche or news blog should help boost your authority and trust.

In a nutshell, it improves your brand recognition over time.

• Author Bio: As I always say with this method, I know how important it is to include this on every of your blog post. It might be the time-wasting a bit, but it is a bar of gold.

Since no one wants to read about an article, even though is well digested, still, I believe letting them know who you’re, is the best approach you can lay down.

That way people will be willing to broadcast you or tell their friends more about you.

With that, you’re boosting your credibility and trust.

And that’s what Google watch out for.

Split Test Your Title Tag…………………….# STEP 2

Many times, I feel disturbed about having great content, but no one seems to click on it.

Does that means the content isn’t great enough?

The above question brings me to this ideology.

And the ideology is very useful with a lot of advantages.

Then, see for yourself below;

Here is what Neil Patel said about testing the flow of your title tag and meta description.

He names the tool ClickFlow.

How does it sound to work?

Well, this is how he made mention of it. This tool will automatically test the title tag and meta tag to maximize the click-through-rate of your content on the web.

With that, you just have to add a piece of javascript and it starts running the test for you automatically.

Just like the way you install a piece of Google Analytics and Webmaster code.

But, what got the flow of my attention was when he made mention of this.

That’s, how click flow has worked well for him in the past few years.

In addition to that, just in the last 31 days, he saw an increase in organic traffic by 96,2723 just through the title tag and meta tag split tests.

This drives me back to my own point of view.

When thinking of boosting the CTR and meta tag of your content on the search engine result list page; let it be:

• The meta description should be of more call-to-action and important details of the product or article.

• The title tag must contain more actionable phrases, better still, full of curiosity.

Improve Your Ranking Speed………………………………………….# STEP 3

By now you should know how site speed greatly impacts rankings.

And how this has impacted the conversion rate of many websites.

Since we know how more searches are gradually emanated from mobile devices, in that, the speed and load time needs some attention.

Because of this, I shifted my attention to the use of a Content Delivery Network(CDN).

Since the load time of countries is specifically different, different countries with different host servers, this now brings me to a conclusion why CDN will be the solution for you.

The acronym “CDN” may sound familiar to you but you never give it any attention, I’m sure that you’ll want to stay to know how it works.

Well, the content delivery network is a computer network that delivers content, in the same way, a switch and router work. In essence, every bunch of server is segmented within the origin server(middle server) of some web content, with that, when a user request for web content, this content delivery network load the speed time in the quickest manner, and also reduce its latency(the amount of time a message take to packet a data from one source point to another).

According to the Wikipedia diagram,

Also, with the cacheable content which removes a lot of the load from the origin server.

Since they have different network topology(the structure or physical layout of the workstation on the net), therefore, their objective is different from each other.

Before now, the CDN was made for static content(Javascript, HTML, and so on).

Then, you need to manually push content as you created them.

But recently, they added origin pulling, making it more much automatic.

This way the CDN will request the origin website URL automatically without any manual approach.

What’s more is, even Facebook uses CDN to improve the site load speed even in low-coverage areas.

This time everything will become flexible to the users.

Thus, CDN helps to improve the load user experience.

Do the On-Page Needful…………………………..# STEP 4

Since research has stated that, over 70% of users ignore paid search, focusing more on the organic search. When optimize well with on-page factors can improve your blog search result performance.

More to that, on-page factors have many basics, furthermore, the basic protocol governs it shows how needful it can be to your blog performance on the search engine result page list.

If so, this made me take a pause, therefore, move ahead to say how will it sound or looks to content without on-page factors?

Should we say, a content without no tolerance?

Or a low-budget content on the search engine?

In other words, what could happen to such content is the avoidance of the Google algorithm. Such content will forever remain dormant, in it, changes are not bound to occur.

Well, I’m not saying it to make you feel bad, not so, just to help you think in the right way.

You know Google seems to work in a way that amazes us.

On the other hand, recognizing the pattern is the first step towards recovery. I never knew how important it is to recognize the pattern of a market place until I sort the internet for more clarity on how these things work.

I believe these tools are within your reach, why not start leveraging it before your competitors do?

This way I won’t speak more of the circumstances ahead, but the challenges that will arise in a short time.

So,

Correlate your keyword in different ways before concluding on your long-tail keyword…………………..# STEP 5

What makes good content?

Is it the words itself?

Or the way the content is being saturated?

The truth still remains valid, every content on the web is rooted in the interface of a keyword.

But, I don’t know how you may see that has, better still, how do you see that?

The way you ought to see it should be the same for everyone else.

And that’s, good keyword optimization is the dictator of any content on the web.

Well, since that has been the key, to that, the padlock opener.

Then let’s begin with how to surface a good keyword curation.

Say you pick a blog post topic, with that, you’re not familiar with how to go about it.

After, you wrote good content that ought to rank well but failed to, due to that, all hope was gone.

Let me say to your hearing.

That,

Begin your content with keyword research………………..# STEP 6

I’m sure that, right now, you have a lot of content resonating in your brain.

Then why not begin it with keyword research.

Say you write about “how to make money” on your blog and you want to create a blog post that would rank highly for that topic.

To the above statement, here is how to optimize your blog post for a long-tail keyword.

Head to Google keyword planner, type in the keyword you want to rank for(i.e how to make money). Click the suggestion box. A result will be shown to you as below.

Here are the suggested keyword above, not just that, the average monthly searches, and the level of competition were shown.

Nearly everything you need to target was shown.

Then, with that, more insight into curating your headline topic has been shown.

Don’t stop there.

Go to the search engine,

Type the keyword “how to make money” and click the search button. Here are the results and the volume of searches below.

But, better still, let’s filter it down to the high priority keyword i.e “how to make money in Nigeria”.

With that, the volume of the searches reduces. This result has proved to me how competitive the keyword is and how well it can rank.

Let’s move on, the data analysis has shown below depicts a lot about the CPC, volume, and other metrics your competitors are using to rank well(SEM).

With this chrome extension, it enables you with a proper insight on the keyword, not just that, also with more clarity of the competitor’s shoulder ranking metrics.

More to the analysis above, navigate down to the related searches, study the related keywords people are searching for; therefore, optimize them for your blog post.

If not satisfied yet with the above analysis, then move to ubbersuggest. This data tool will show you more about the keyword and the social shares of your competitor’s content.

Here’s is how to go about it: Go to ubbersuggest Plug the main keyword into the search box. Click to get ideas. Here is the result below.

From the above results, this tool has helped you format better ideas for writing a blog post. Better still, the next step you may think of doing is to head to buzzsumo.

Go to buzzsumo. Plug the keyword into the search box as earlier done. Then the results look like this.

Why I included this chrome extension is to aid you with more insights into your competitor’s social sharing platforms. This way you will know how to optimize your content to rank well.

So when doing on-page optimization, here are the following things that need more attention to be giving to, for better optimization of your blog to resonate with your audience and search engines.

• Title tag.
• Meta description
• Keyword density
• Image alt tag
• Internal links
• External links.

In contribution to the above metrics, let the internal links serve as a content cluster within your blog post. That way visitors will be prompt to have a longer stay, not just that, also it helps to give more direction to the users.

This aids in a more in-depth analysis of the topic at hand.

Publish high-frequency content…………………………………..# STEP 7

Great content helps to improve the search performance of a keyword.

Also, well-optimized content ranks well for several keywords.

When writing content, your objective is to optimize it to resonate with the audience's interest and search intent. That way you’ll see things in their own way, not yours.

Here is how to go about that: Visit forum related to your niche. Study the behavior of the people that live in there, extract their most asked questions. Then optimize them with your blog post.

Here’s an example: The query on how to make money starts with a question to the user.

By clicking it.

It fetches me this:

Within that post, I can really tell myself what they find hard to get by reading those articles. Because of this, I can optimize my ideas better to resonate perfectly with their interests, with that, people will be prompt to check my content and more backlinks will keep flushing to my website.

Conclusion

Still, when picking up a keyword to rank well for, it is better to correlate the keyword with different tools to further your understanding before getting to write a blog post about it.

Regardless of anything, just know nothing is actually free, even in the free town.

When thinking of optimizing content, use the related searches to serve it as latent semantic indexing for every of your blog post headlines.

Better still, use it to correlate a proper H tag(i.e headline 1 and 2).

This is better because it is, this makes it more flexible for the users.

And thus, it improves the readability score of content.

Avoid the use of duplicate content(it diminishes the ranking power of content).
