If Google drops your site rankings, presumably for keyword stuffing, but you were legitimately using those keywords in your content, can you ever rank again for those keywords?
Switched from Yoast to Rankmath on a existing Ecommerce platform and SEO optimized all my content to the absolute max [ average 97% SEO score ]. Also overall sitespeed and core web vitals average 98%. Followed most guidelines for SEO optimization. Although my SEO is ten trillion times better now then it was before my business dropped over 95% in turnover in the last two months. My goal was to increase organic traffic but instead organic traffic is worse then when we started 4 years ago.
Right now am going with the head term, this is my assumption that if ill not go through the head terms than how can i target for Long Tail Terms? Correct me if i am wrong.
I'm not saying don't go after head terms, but you need to have a good combination of keywords. That way you're catching people at different points in the funnel as well :)
I go after both head and long tail. The long tail brings in traffic that goes to my head terms through internal linking. The key is having exceptional articles. You need people on the page to get recognized by Google. I have articles with a high average duration using this method. In a short time, the articles land in the top 4 on Google. You need to give the people what they want and need. I always include variations of the keywords also. I see keyword cannibalizing between articles as another problem. Updating and improving content helps a lot also. I find older articles tend to be written poorly compared to recent content for sites under 2-3 years of age. Then the outdated info also.
Do you have any digital marketing course to learn digital marketing properly???? If you don't then can you suggest something to learn digital marketing properly???
Hi everyone 👋👋👋 I have a small but still bothering problem which I like to share with you. I optimized an e-commerce website that sells printers (new and used) The same tactics were implemented to all the pages I optimized, now the problem is, that all the pages improved their rankings perfectly going from page 5 to page 1 in Google, except 1 page, that nothing changed in the rankings, also fun part is that if you inspect the page you can see the meta description I added but when you see it on SERPs the meta description is just a random selection from the page's text that Google picks. Does anyone has an idea why this is happening??? Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
That's great that you're seeing improvements :) Keep it up! Regarding the meta descriptions, Google may choose to use the one that your wrote, or they may choose to write their own. There's nothing you can do about that.
When I do KW research, I use Ahrefs. I start of by finding head terms and then: - I find relevant PAAs - I check what the competition is doing content-wise -> and how can I improve that content (both writing and UX-wise) - I organize topics around head terms and PAAs Then, I find related KWs (long-tails) and repeat the task above. In most cases, there are so many topics that could have their own content pieces, so after that research - it's time for creating a content cluster that revolves around landing page (that targets the head term) and links to all those smaller content pieces. I've found this approach to be very beneficial in the long run, as you slowly build up topical authority - the page that you want to rank for the head term will naturally go up in rankings. Depending on how competitive the niche is, you might even not need to actively pursue link-building.
Thanks! I've got a question for you. When using ideas from other sources, is it necessary to add references at the end of the blog, or can I just link to the source?
I try to aim for one or max 2 popular keywords and the rest are more longtail and more intent based keywords. But i get good engagement from links shared through email marketing or whatsapp marketing but not too much organic traffic. Have only been doing it for a few months though...do I just wait it out or am I doing something wrong?
I think BOTH head terms & long tail terms are great when they work in tandem. You make an article on a head term (1000+ words). Then you can make long tail keywords based articles (750-1000 words) in relation to the head term article & add internal links to the main head article. That’s my take & I haven’t been in the game long enough to confirm this theory but seems ideal to make the most out of an article!
@@neilpatel it’s hard to push through when you see 0-little results. But I will not give up. Thank you for your SEO videos. I especially like them because they are short, to the point and easy to follow. Looking forward to SEO in 2022 🙌🏻
Happy 1M subscribers Neil! I can still remember back in the days when I'm learning about SEO you have 300K subcribers. And look where you are now! Wow!
why let literally real book worms eat pages of your old books in storage when you can just read, type and copy then tweak it and make internet and people today think it is genuinely fresh content?
I think they can definitely be helpful supplemental tools! I wouldn't use them to write entire pieces of content but just as a supplement for what topics to write on :)
I get traffic and I get it because I blog for just four hours per day. I don't know how to monetize my traffic yet but I talk about Amazon products that I want to buy or use myself and like to talk about.
That was an amazing video Neil, Just had a quick question below: Do you think a 2-phrase keyword Volume 3K which is "High Competition". Is it possible to get ranked in the top 3 without any High or normal PR backlinks?
