Improving your rankings - a top tip
One of the WA members on here suggested this to me a few months ago (thanks RICH). I was struggling to increase my traffic which was tied to rankings so he recommended adding a News category to my website.
This is tied directly to Google Alerts so whenever I get an interesting news story I write about it, targeted around keywords of course.
I also quote the news source and using <blockquote cite> I link to the article too. This has improved my workload because I try to write my News items as an additional task over and above my regular targeted keywords.
It really works
Since adding this and trying to focus on news stories as they happen my rankings are really starting to improve.
The majority of my recent articles (news and others) are now ranking on page 1 of G instantly. It feels like the hard work is starting to pay off.
I always add affiliate links to my news stories (otherwise what's the point right?)
If you are struggling to improve your rankings why not give it a go? Each news article should be minimum 500 words with the usual pics and vids etc.
Good luck!

Very good idea and I know for a fact news stories can drive big traffic increases. Great job!
I think RobertA mentioned that in one of his most recent posts also, Craig. Glad that's working out for you.
