Use keyword search tool to find searches that have no high quality results. Then write a blog post for that topic and post the link casually on Reddit comments, twitter, etc. then wait a few weeks and it will be the #1 result. I have used this strategy for several years, it basically comes down to writing quality content on topics that don’t have any content.
- petra 7y agoSearches/topics that don't have any content , usually have very low traffic. So what's the point ?
- joegahona 7y agoThat would be true if the number of topics in the world were constant, but new topics materialize all the time, and the popularity varies on old topics. Articles get old/outdated and are fertile ground for new articles with updated information, etc.
- petra 7y agoThat might be true to rapidly changing fields. But most businesses work in slowly changing fields.
- dazc 7y agoYou don't necessarily have to get a lot of traffic in order to generate revenue. There are potentially profitable niches that are not monetized at all.
- seibelj 7y agoI focus on the "long tail" because as a side-hustle entrepreneur you will never rank on the very popular keywords. You must monetize a lot of lesser-searched keywords, which in aggregate equal one very popular one, and you don't have to defend it obsessively.
- ALittleLight 7y agoWhat search tool do you use to find search keywords?
- seibelj 7y agoHere's a guide from a few years ago that explains in detail how to follow the strategy. I don't bother with the really esoteric tweaks because the 95% solution is to identify keywords, write good content, and spread it around the internet. https://medium.com/startup-grind/seo-is-not-hard-a-step-by-step-seo-tutorial-for-beginners-that-will-get-you-ranked-every-single-1b903b3ab6bb https://medium.com/startup-grind/seo-is-not-hard-a-step-by-s...
