  1. No Keyword Research

I am referring to how successful you will be without keyword research. Lots of people know that Internet traffic is invaluable. Your reach depends on how you use SEO.

SEO is search engine optimization, which means keywords that help search understand your page. The best SEO will help search engines to rank you favourably.

You aren’t interested in using SEO to impact news on the Internet. You want local influence so that you are a “go-to” guy.

a) Write a blog post with the wrong keyword, then write another one incorporating the keyword at least twice.

For years I deliberately utilized “wrong” keywords. Let me clarify.

I had some idea of what made proper SEO, but I liked the idea of borrowing keywords. I was able to do this because the website where I download stock photos includes keywords.

When I finally decided to conform, what got me on the path was a free tool I discovered that can search the text for relevant keywords, called YAKE! I love it!

Did that solve my problems? Well, no, because my blog became somewhat of a fail even with an improved approach to keywords.

Why was this? The search engines must have detected my attempts to rank higher. A bias was clear.

10 years later: Indexed pages are low and the bounce rate is high.

It will be most worthwhile for you to blog if your blog has a relevant theme. I do this for fun, not to bring home the bacon. I put the time in at it here and there, thinking the outcome may be interesting.

b) After July 24th, 2018, Google AdWords became Google Ads.

There are three distinct campaign types available today under the Google Ads brand, including Search, Display, and Video. Search ads are text ads displayed among search results on a Google results page.

Display ads are typically image-based and are shown on web pages within the Google Display Network.

Video ads are between six and 15 seconds and appear on YouTube.

With Google Ads, you can find out what searches are happening on Google, and how you can capitalize on that web traffic. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m not a business guy, but I know if you are trying to earn profits, Google Ads is a tool that can help you out quite a lot. I’ve only looked at it enough to gain a layman’s understanding.

c) Plug in some keywords that relate directly to your content in the search

Keywords interest me, and I’ve been interested in them since I was taught about them, in 1996. I can remember learning about them in school.

An SEO company will offer to put your business on the front page of Google. They help customize a client’s website so that its SEO makes it attractive to search engines like Google. I’m having a ” problem ” because my SEO isn’t great.

In fact, if you are reading this, maybe you have an idea of what I could do to master some traffic to my blog. At the end of this part of my exposition on SEO, you could leave me a comment if you have a suggestion or feedback.

This article I’ve written is continuing soon, in two more parts.
