Rank on the first page of
Google is Hotter than Jennifer Lawrence isn't it? (Let me know what you
think about this in comments).
How to rank on the
top of Google?
I’m sure you have searched this question lot of times on
Google,
But trust me this is the last time you are searching for
this :D
After reading this post, you can rank your post on the top of search engines.
Everyone is running for some decent bucks including
bloggers, but this isn’t an easy job.
Getting your first ever payment from your blog makes you
feel OUT OF THE WORLD :)
But the only hurdle between your payments and your Blog is
the search engine (most of time Google).
And to overcome this, so called hurdle we all have to do is
to rank your blog on the top of Google.
Ranking your website on the top of search engines is directly
proportional to your earnings.
What will you get by listing your site on top?
You can earn like a Millionaire,
Earnings from Ads,
Earnings from reviews,
Earnings from selling eBooks (if you want to earn from eBooks’
then I recommend you to check out this
pretty awesome post by Carol Tice- 10Mistakes I Made Publishing My eBook, and How You Can Do it Better :),
Earnings from sponsored posts,
Earnings from selling links and this list go on........
Once you are on the top, you will have to work safer and
don’t even think to break any single rule of Google because everyone has their
eyes on you.
Let me show you one example of my simple post (ranking on the first position on Google) which has
given me 18483 page views and its keep increasing very day ;)
So that now you have seen my work, and I’m sure now you can
believe me that I can teach you something LOL,
Now just keep calm and trust me I’ll not let you down ;)
So let’s directly come to the point how to rank on the first page of Google?

One of the oldest and expensive ways to getting your website
to the top of Google is to spend some bucks on Google Adwords. But this is
expensive for a kid who doesn’t have that much pocket money.
So this post is dedicated to that small kid :)
Hey, kid, I want you to check out this excellent guide from Darren Rowse from ProBlogger – How to start a blog
(Check out this post, if you have done everything what he taught you then let’s
move on).
If you are that small kid, then I suggest you first go and
check out this excellent Blogging resources post by Kristi Hines- http://kikolani.com/blogging-resources which you will need to rank your website on the first page of search engine ;)
So let’s start from stating,
First of all obviously do keyword research for your post and
make a list of them, here do the best of you because this is the base if your
post. Try to get some long tail keywords; these will help your site more to
rank high.
Now you can start writing a post which we want to rank.
Obviously we all start with post title- The title of your
post must be awesomely attention grabbing, so that if someone looks at it can’t
stop himself by clicking on it.
And the most important thing you must have to take care is
to use your keyword in the title. If you are using a long tail keyword, then this
is better than simple keyword.
Try to move your keyword at starting of your title, this will make your title 100% SEO optimized.
Like this, you can see in below screenshot that how he used his keyword at the front of his title and his post is ranking on the top-
Like this, you can see in below screenshot that how he used his keyword at the front of his title and his post is ranking on the top-
Try to add some digits at starting this also attracts people
(mostly odd numbers).
For example-
The most attention-grabbing title I can write for this post
is –
Why ranking on the top of Google is Hotter than Jennifer
Lawrence?
I bet this can get more clicks than any other title, now if
we talk about SEO optimized title, then you can see the title of this post; I
have used the keyword at starting. So I can say this is a perfect example of
SEO friendly title. Now once we have written, an awesome title let’s move to
the body of the post.
SEO Friendly Content-
Make sure to write SEO friendly blog post. This is the key to getting your
website on Google first page. If you are not writing an SEO friendly blog post,
then forget about your rankings.
Try to write a long, in-depth content and make sure to avoid
grammar mistakes but if your English is weak then don’t be sad I recommend you
to check out this excellent guide from Lorraine
Reguly’s blog WordingWell- 20
Ways to Be a Master Writer and Improve Your Writing Skills.
Your content should
be in between 1500-2500 words but if you can’t write this much then make sure
it’s more than 1000. You can see that almost all the top ranking posts have
massive content approx more than 2500.
See this average content length graph by Backlinko-
Pic Credit- Backlinko
See this average content length graph by Backlinko-
Pic Credit- Backlinko
So let’s see some tips to write SEO friendly content-
Try to start your post with a long tail keyword but if you
can’t then don’t panic, leave this tip but try your best to do this ;-)
Spread your keywords all over the post and make sure to
bold, italic or underline these keywords.
Don’t forget to break your content into paragraphs as much
as you can. Don’t write more than 2 or 3 lines in a single paragraph because a
long post or paragraph looks like a boring content and most viewers skip that
part.
So use subheading while making new paragraphs. Use h1, h2,
h3 tags and try to add few keywords in these subheadings. This also helps your
post’s SEO.
For example-
H2 tag – how to get on the first page of Google in 24 hours
H3 tag – how to make your website appear on the first page of Google
Don’t use too many subheadings and especially h1 tag because
we can say h1 tag is your second title and this tag is especially for main
headings, so try to avoid the use of the h1 tag.
And yeah don’t use too much keyword in your content
otherwise Google will ban your post and site too. :)
If you are on WordPress then I suggest you use Yoast SEO Plugin and just follow the tips which it provides when we write any post.
Just make sure that your all marks are green, check out below screenshot from Yoast SEO-
If you are on WordPress then I suggest you use Yoast SEO Plugin and just follow the tips which it provides when we write any post.

Internal Linking
– Never ignore internal linking. Internal linking helps your site to build some
trust and authority.
Try to link your previous posts in this new post which are
related to this post. Don’t link them which are not related to this post. You
can also link to your pages like contact us or about us this is also helpful.
Mata Description-
Now its turn to write Meta description of your new post.
Make sure to add some long tail keywords or a focused
keyword in Meta description. Meta description is really crucial. Google will
use this Meta description as it is and show it below the title of our post when
it comes in Google search results.
Now once you have written an excellent SEO Friendly blog
post now its turn to add some high-quality images.
SEO Optimized Images
– Images are the only way to rock your first impression. If you have not used
pictures or if you have used low-quality images then almost everyone will shut
down your site.
But adding a high-quality image in your post is not the last
thing, you have to make them SEO friendly. You have to edit name and Alt tag of
every picture you use.
Again here comes the keyword role, make sure to add your
focus keyword in the alt tag of your image and name also, so that your image
can also rank higher on the Google image search. This will also count in your
SEO score.
Add a video in your
post- Now we should add a Video in our content. Adding a video to your
content will help in getting your website
to the top of Google. You can do research on Google, search for any
tutorial and you can see that most of the top ranking sites are using videos in
their post.
So embed one video from YouTube and if this video is not
yours then give the owner its credit.
If you can make an InfoGraphic than make one because this
will rock you post and help you in getting lots of shares and quality
backlinks. So try to make an infographic also.
Now let’s move to the next section, edit the permalink of
your post.
SEO Optimized
Permalink- Now we have to make our post permalink SEO friendly.
Add keywords in your permalink,
Remove stop words like to, from, an, a, etc.
Try to short the permalink and remove all the subfolders (10/2017/)
before the link.
For example - This permalink looks more SEO optimized
http://www.letstrick.com/Rank-on-the-top-of-Google
Then this one –

Now we have finished our writing section awesomely, finally
publish your post.
Yeah, I want to say that please don’t make silly SEO
mistakes which almost every newbie bloggers make, should read this post from

Yeah I’m
worth the cost of good coffee (http://theblindblogger.net/2016/10/i-decided-im-worth-the-cost-of-good-coffee.html).
Now let’s see how we can promote our post so that everyone
will see it.
Share on Social Media-
First of all use your social media accounts like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter,
Reddit, LinkedIn, etc.
YouTube- Make a
short video for your post and upload it to YouTube and add a link to your post
in the description. You should add this video to your post instead of any other
video.
Now once you have made a video, you can turn it into a
presentation or in PDF and can share on social media.
SlideShare- You
must have heard about SlideShare, now its turn to use this. Upload your PDF or
presentation on Slideshare. From here
people will see your post and can check your profile if they liked your stuff
and then you have a chance that this visitor can go to your blog also.
Do you maintain your subscriber's list? If so..!
Email Subscribers-
Then email them that you have updated a new post and also request them to share
this post.
Now once you have promoted your new article on social media,
it’s time to grab some quality backlinks ;-)
High-Quality
Backlinks –
First of all before starting anything about backlinks let me
take a sec to remember one of the biggest Backlink Guru in blogging industry
and of course my favorite one ;-) i.e. Brian
Dean (Backlinko).
If you want to learn from zero to the top of link building
then I personally recommend you to go right now, yeah leave my post and start
reading his posts about link building. He will never let you down, and I can bet
on this ;)
Sorry sir @BrianDean, let me say something about Backlinks.
I know I can't say anything in front of you but let me try my best LOL ;)( I’m
waiting for your response in comments <3).
Backlinks are the most important way to rank any blog or a
particular page of your blog.
If you want to rank your post first on Google search for
free, then try your best to grab some quality backlinks for that particular
page. The must you create backlinks for that post the more your post ranks up
but try to get quality backlinks and of course do-follow.
So the best way to grab some super duper high-quality
backlinks which I learned from Backlink Guru (Ya, of course, I’m talking about
Brian sir, now remember whenever I'll say backlink guru I mean Brian Dean) is Backlinks from Guestographics.
I’ll not say much
about this because he has not left anything for us to write LOL, so just go to
this post to learn about Guestographics- How to get backlinks withGuestographics (http://backlinko.com/how-to-get-backlinks).
Try to make some impressive, attractive and useful
Infographics and upload them in your post.
Now these Infographics will help you to get some
high-quality backlinks, for this, you just have to do a little work.
Email Outreach- Just
search on Google for your any keyword and make a list of websites which are
already ranking for that keyword and then just email then and offer them your
infographic.
Let me show you some email examples which backlink guru used
for his Infographics-
Image
And the next email will be like this –
Image
So with these examples, you can quickly send an email to bloggers
who have already written about your new post, so that they can link you.
Submit Infographic to
Infograhic submission sites- You should upload your infographic on
infographic sharing sites and don’t forget to add a link to your post in the
description of infographic :)
Infographic
submission sites like-
Visual.ly
Slideshare
Flickr
Infographics
Showcase
You can find some more infographic submission site from this
awesome guide from Jitendra sir - Free
Infographic Submission Sites List (http://www.bloggersideas.com/free-infographic-submission-sites-list/)
And don’t forget to watch this Neil Patel’s awesome video
about How
to submit infographics to infographics directories (https://www.quicksprout.com/university/how-to-submit-to-infographic-directories/).
Other ways to create some backlinks is-
Guest posting -
Write some guest posts on another high-quality website which is in the same
niche as yours. These sites which allow guest posts let us add an author bio at
the last of the post and from here we can get one or two high-quality do-follow
backlinks.
Again here comes the backlink guru, if you want to learn
about guest posts in depth then check out his this post - The
Definitive Guide to Guest Blogging (http://backlinko.com/the-definitive-guide-to-guest-blogging).
Use Forums under your
niche – As you already know that there are lots of forums are available on the
internet on which lots of people are searching for their problems and other
users are helping them with their answers.
So you should join these forums and post some answers to
help them, and if the forum allows you to post some links then post the link to
your post from here, you can get backlinks.
You should check out this post of Chaitanya Singh- Dofollow
forums to increase backlinks
But if forum is not allowing you to post links then simply
help people with your answer without link and if they found your reply helpful
then they will check our profile, and from there, they will go to your blog :)
Use Commentluv
Enabled Blogs- You must have seen commentluv enabled blogs, so just go to
these commentluv enabled blogs and post a comment, with these comments you are
allowed to post your one link. So just select your latest post which you want
to promote, and there you go you have got a do-follow backlink. You should
check out this Enstine Muki’s guide on Dofollow
Backlinks.
Use YouTube- Make
a video and add a link to your post in the description :)
Use Slideshare-
As I suggested you above to promote your post on SlideShare, but you can also
get backlinks from SlideShare. Just add some live links in your presentation
slide but make sure to add links to third slide because SlideShare only allows
you to add links to third slide.
Yeah one more excellent post to share with you, Check out
how Greg Narayan got
Google page rank 3 in 3 months, you’ll like it :)
Email Outreach-
If you have mentioned any other sites in your post then it’s time to email them
and let them know that you have linked to them and don't forget to request them
to share your post.
You should read this awesome guide from Garrett French if
you want to learn all about Email outreach- The
7 Principles of Bulk Outreach for Link Building.
Now one another working way to create backlinks with email
outreach is that,
Do a Google research on your keyword and make a list of top
ranking websites may be top 100 or 50 and email them with an effective kind
pitch to tell them that you have posted something related to their stuff, so if
they like your post, then they will link to you and share your content.
So these experts have lots of followers, so their fans will
check out your post, and if they like it then they will also share it, and the
chain of the share goes on and on like this.
So you will become hero from zero LOL ;)
You can write guest posts on other high authority blogs and
leave your new post link in your author bio box but make sure to add a link
with your focused keyword which you want to rank.

I've done all of these things and I have ranked on the first page of Google.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you forgot to mention one very important thing: TELL A PERSONAL STORY.
No one has the same story. Each of us has unique experiences.
Google wants original content. Personal content. Unique, yet informative, content.
You also forgot to mention updating your existing content on a regular basis.
Each time you change something in your post, Google will crawl your website again.
This all helps to keep your content relevant and also helps with your rankings.
One other thing you should do before publishing a post is to get someone to proofread it. Correct the typos. Perfect the grammar. Google likes nicely written sentences that make sense.
If you can't afford to hire a proofreader such as myself, get one of your friends who excels in English to help you.
These are super-important points which you didn't mention in this post.
So... take note of these!
Hello; Always happy to find myself referenced by top bloggers working on quality posts. This one had a lot of great stuff in it. I wonder if you had considered breaking this up into a series of posts or offering it as a free ebook. Often people get overwhelmed by so much quality info in one place. Just curious how you found my post about coffee and what moved you to include it. Since I didn't reach out to you to promote the post, I'd like to know what I did right so I can do it again. :) Thanks for trying to help all the new bloggers and those thinking about starting a blog. Blessings, Max
ReplyDeleteHey Max Sir,

You are awesome and this is the only reason I linked your post because I wanna let my readers know that you are awesome ;-)
I was drinking coffee while writing my post and this made me to link you ;-)
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Hey Hemant,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that you have researchedabout this. Ranking on the first page is dependent on who you manage to craft your article.
Using the proper heading tags and adding the keywords is important.
Many people dream about something magical but there is nothing like that. You have to craft it according to your readers perspectives so that they can relate and share.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Enjoy your day.

Hey Ravi Sir,
DeleteThank you so much for your comment.
And yeah I'm completely agree with you that using proper heading tagd and adding proper keywords are important plus I wanna add in this that URL and meta description is also as important as keywords.
BTW thanks for your support
Cheers :)
