Today I want to talk with you about how the whole process of getting ranked in Google works. There are a couple things you must do if you want to get ranked high in the search engines. I am going to go over each one of these steps with you today.
What must I do to show up in the search engines under my keyword?
First if your website is new it will take Google a while to pick up on it and determine whether or not it is worthy to be in their search engines. There are a few things you can do to speed up this process and show Google you are worthy of being ranked.
Doing some keyword research before you begin- Knowing how to properly perform keyword research is vital if you want to achieve high rankings for your page or post topic that you are going to talk about.
Remember to go after the low hanging fruit keywords.These are keywords that have under 300 competing pages in Google and get at least 50 searches per month.
Go ahead and type in your keywords below
Write your article naturally- When you write your article you want to put the keyword in the title and if you can once in the first paragraph. After that write the rest of it naturally and speak to your audience as if you were in the same room talking to them.
Social share your article on G+ Facebook and Twitter- By doing this you will be helping your article get indexed in the search engines faster. You will also by getting traffic to your site by sharing good quality content with others.
Keep adding quality content to your website- If you add content on a daily basis this lets Google know you are serious and that you are an authority in your niche. You will start seeing rankings in no time.
Open up a Google Webmasters Tools account- Opening up a GWT account and adding your website there is the first thing you should be doing after you get your website setup. You will then be asked to verify your website. You need to do this so that Google knows you are the verified owner of this website.
There are a couple different ways you can do this. You can upload a file to your server through FTP. This is the best way and this is the way that I have verified all of my sites.
Another option is to use your analytics account to verify ownership. You could also upload a piece of code they give you to the head of your home page. I find this a little confusing so I just use option #1.
After you verify ownership then you get a verified status next to your website in GWT.
Submitting a sitemap in GWT- This is pretty easy and can be setup using a plugin. You can download and install the plugin by going to the plugins section of your dashboard and searching for Google XML sitemaps.
After you have installed the plugin and have got it setup go to Google webmaster tools click on the optimization tab on the left. Where it says submit a sitemap type yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml. replace the yourwebite.com with your website URL. After you have submitted it successfully this will notify Google every time you add new content to your website.
