 3 Simple Steps To Get Your First 10k Visitors From Google

1. Step 1: Finding the right keywords

   If you pick the wrong keywords, you’ll find yourself with little to no traffic and, even worse, you’ll find yourself with little to no visits.
   First and foremost, you’ll want to do some keyword research to identify the best keywords to target.
   This involves looking into which keywords are most commonly searched by your target audiences, as well as which ones are least competitive. There are plenty of free tools available online to assist you, such as Google’s Keyword Planner.
   
   These keywords are used in helping your blog to rank high and making it visible on Google first page for visitors to click.
   
   You can find rankable keywords using tools such as Ubersuggest

2. Step 2: Write content

   At this point, you should have a list of keywords. At least 100 keywords per group. It’s not that hard to get to 100 similar keywords that you can include in one article. It just takes some time to continually search and find them.
   
   Optimize your website for SEO. Once you’ve identified the best keywords for your website, you’ll need to optimize your website content for SEO. This involves making sure your website is optimized for the keywords you’ve identified, as well as crafting relevant and helpful titles and meta descriptions for your webpages. Doing this will help Google understand and rank your website for your chosen keywords.
   
   In general, as a rule of thumb, I can find 100 keywords in less than 8 minutes. It may take you a bit longer than me at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’ll be easy.
   
   With your newly found keywords, I want you to write an article. As for your keywords, naturally place them into the article when it makes sense.
   
   What you’ll quickly learn is that you probably won’t be able to “naturally” include all 100 keywords within your article. And that’s fine.
   
   The last thing you want to do is stuff in keywords because you aren’t writing this article for just search engines, you are writing it for people… and the secondary benefit is that search engines will rank it because it contains the right keywords.
   
   Before you make your article live on your site, I want you to keep a few things in mind:
   
   Keep your URLs short – Google prefers shorter URLs.
   
   Include your main keyword in your headline – by having your main keyword in your headline, you’ll be more likely to rank higher.
   
   Include your three main keywords in your meta tags – whether it is your title tag or meta description, include at least three main keywords in them. You won’t fit as many in your title tag, and that’s fine, but you should be able to within your meta description tag.
   
   There are a lot of other things you can do to optimize your articles for SEO, but my goal is to keep this simple. Again, if you just follow these three steps, you’ll hit the 10,000-visitor mark.
   
   So, for now, let’s just keep things simple and once you hit your goal, then you can get into the advanced stuff.

3. Step 3: Promoting your content

   Writing content is only half the battle. Even if you include the right keywords in your article, if you don’t promote, it’s unlikely that it would be read or rank on Google.
   
   Link building is an essential part of SEO and a great way to get your website noticed by Google. It involves creating quality links from relevant and authoritative websites back to yours. This will help boost your website’s rankings in Google and, in turn, drive more traffic your way.
   So how do you make sure your content is read and ranks well?
   
   Well, first you need to get social shares, and second, you need to get backlinks.
   
   Yes, search engines don’t necessarily rank pages higher when they get more Facebook shares or tweets, but the more eyeballs that see your page the more likely you are to get backlinks.
   
   And the more backlinks you get, generally, the higher you will rank.
