How to get traffic with Google, start ranking high in search

When you get your site ranking high in Google, what happens? You get traffic, and often, lots of it. Having your site ranking high with Google is a great feeling! So how do you do it? Do you want to know how to get traffic with Google? Of course, it starts with ranking high in the search engines but how do you get there?

Earn Google TRUST and get traffic.

If you are a member of Wealthy Affiliate, we all know how to get traffic. We all know that the answer to ranking high and getting traffic is to follow the training here :) This is because there is no simple secret. There are a lot of factors that go into getting traffic and high rankings with Google.

BIG TRAFFIC SECRET: WRITE QUALITY CONTENT USING PROPER SEO, THEN WRITE MORE, AND WRITE MORE. GOOGLE WILL TRUST YOUR SITE WHEN YOU WRITE QUALITY CONTENT REGULARLY.

My path to high traffic and success with Google search

I remember when I was writing and wondering how long it would take for my work to become trusted in Google. It took around 5 months or so. At that point, I felt like this was my for sure career path and I still do.

After my site got ranked high in the search engines, my traffic reached astounding numbers. It has been up and down but steadily growing.

Recently, I had taken a month long break from it and will be planning for that dip in traffic in a couple of months. I say that because what you do on your site today, will really make a difference months from now.

Deleting or revamping old posts

There were some old posts that were not getting ranked so I removed them for revamping. This is telling me that I need better keywords and better target SEO strategies as well as providing better content.

The goal is to build a big online business.

The bigger your website is, the more customers and traffic you will receive as well as potential of more revenue. When you decide to build your website/blog, do your best to think of it "long term" and in time, you can create a substantial and sustainable business.

A small goal is getting your site ranked in Google. Ranking on the first page, especially within the top 3-5 results, will give you significant traffic growth on your website.

Do you wonder if you will get there? I did too, but I kept going and followed the training provided here at Wealthy Affiliate. It works for me and can work for you, just keep building on your knowledge and building out your business okay. :)

Once people can easily find you in search, you will want to keep building out that site.

The bigger goal, the ultimate goal

The ultimate goal is having an authority site with thousands of key word posts available for the world to benefit from.

My advice is to keep it simple and don't lose focus, just keep writing great content!

After time, those posts will rank high in Google and you will be generating lots of traffic and you have a good idea of what that means.

There is a lot I could discuss on this topic but one main important thing, is CONTENT. It is all about QUALITY CONTENT. That is the most basic advice I can give. Write great content and soon, you will personally understand how to get traffic with Google. You will start ranking high in search and then you can focus on reaching the ultimate goal.

Hope this was a quality post with helpful content. After all, that is the goal ;)

I wish you all the ability to strive for the ultimate goal :)

Happy writing!

Hello ...Thank you for sharing...
When I have get feedback from fellow WA members, they say I have strong and quality contents...but no traffic despite the use of tools like Pinterest, Tailwind, ….
Does it mean that Google has not yet trusted me?

I'm ranked in search engines and Google ranks me when I publish at least three posts a week!

But how to generate tons of traffic? I still don't know!

This is a quality post with great content Amelita. I am grateful for it, it has shown me where I faltered and why I am not ranking as I had hoped I would. Thank you.

Hi Russel
Glad to help in any way I can. The most important thing is to have QUALITY content.

It takes some trial and errors but eventually, you are bound to find what works for you.

Amelita, i have a question. How do you determine great content. What does it need in your opinion. What helps you to write better content?
I'm still starting out and would like to learn HOW it's done... Not just, keyword wise... More info on your how and why would help me a great deal. Could you please elaborate?
Thanks and good luck to you. Congrats on your success!

Absolutely :)

Great points to remember when trying to achieve QUALITY content is...
- Readability (Engaging the reader on a personal level.) (Make your content clear with proper headers )

- Calls to action (something for your reader to do)

- Videos and external links to helpful sources (helps with ranking)

- Internal links (shows Google you believe your content shareable)

- Informative ( Leave no questions for your reader unanswered. Near impossible but this is where the linking helps. )

- Regular posting ( providing new content and updating posts to keep your site active is key to ranking well)

- Helping the customer ( Using less affiliate links or ads shows you care about adding value to your site.) This is a good rule for new sites. After you get the traffic rolling in more, you can begin to monetize it more.

- Images ( use vivid images to interest the reader and inform )


Those are some things to get you going in the right path.

So much can be said here but hopefully this list will help :) There is a ton of info here at Wealthy Affiliate, as you have discovered.

If you would like help with the research on something, feel free to ask me okay :)
All the best,
-Amelita

Wauw Amelita, this really helps to get it more vivid for me. Thank you so much. I do my best in writing engaging content that is valuable to my readers.
Good luck to you and thanks again for the offer to help.

Love Nanda

Your welcome Nanda, glad to help.

Thanks a lot for your inspiring post Amelita! It's really encouraging for someone like me who is only about 6 weeks into the journey. So far I've seen 5 of my 7 articles indexed and I'm just about to publish my 8th article so my site is still very young but I've noticed my website is ranking around page 4 or 5 in Google whch is great! The only way is up!

As you say, all I need to do is continue with the training and writing quality artciles, alog with reading other peoples hints and tips for better SEO etc.

I know I'll get there eventually!

All the best to you Amelita!

Take care
Chris

Hi there Chris :)

Sounds like you are doing very well writing quality content and publishing regularly. Even if you only publish one article a week, that is good enough for Google to rank you well.

Since you are seeing your posts on the 4/5 page in Google with this beginner site, that tells you that what you are doing, is worth sticking to.

Great job. If you keep up what you are doing, you will improve as well as see your site ranking high in the search engines very quickly.

You will get traffic with Google when you get around 20 posts. That is my prediction. :) It will be small still but it will be exciting.

One other prediction I have for you is that around 14 posts, you will see at least one getting ranked first page, maybe even in first position.

That is my predictions shall you continue to publish at the same steady rate. Or around one/two posts a week. This will put you around the 5 month mark for your site.

Your almost there!
Happy writing! :)

Wow, thanks a lot for your kind words! Really encouraging!

I really like my niche and am growing more into it each day. New ideas are popping into my head all the time. It is hard work but I am enjoying it so much I really don't mind.

I hope your predictions are true! 😊 I'd be so happy 😊

Thank you Amelita, you've made my say 😊

Take care
Chris

Ha, great enthusiasm! :)
Splendid show of appreciation! Now you have made my day :)

It is not often I will just throw out predictions but I feel strongly that your turning point is up a couple more blocks at "a few more posts" street. Hahaha, I crack myself up. No really tho, you got this.

It is wonderful that you seem to have an active mind for this career.
In the future, hopefully time will be more available to you and your business.
You will get there, just keep on with it and sure enough, success online will be yours.

All the best,
-Amelita

You're a star Amelita 😊

All the best to you too!

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Wish you great success!

Bob

Glad you enjoyed it Bob :)

Great success to you as well.

I agree...we have to keep improving our content writing.

Yep, :) keep it basic and simple if possible. Less fluff means better content and better traffic results ya know.

All the best Fran

Hey Amelita,

Thank you for sharing your helpful tips. This is great!

Yes, I agree Google certainly likes quality content and lots of them.

Monica

Yes, a true brand with authority is the dream right! :)

This is the secret sauce, the key aspect to being ranked and ultimately the traffic that is needed to see what you offer. Google likes this because you are adding value as they like. Good post!

Thank you for your support William :)

Hope all is going well for you.

Yes thanks :) Little behind on the SAC due to a health issue, and now offline internet business, but I will get caught up soon.

It sounds like you are making some good progress. Keep up the good work.

Thank You Craig, sure am :) and will do :)
