Rank 3 in 18 Minutes!
Hey there!
I recently posted my July results which you can see by clicking the link below.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/marlinda1/blog/july-2018-res...
In the comments of that post someone asked if I followed the training or did something extra. I find this question rather interesting.
I've spent years combing the internet for ways to make money online, stumbling over this person's million dollar this and that person's overnight that. I've never bought into that sort of stuff but I collected little tidbits out of the mess.
I did that for years and it was frustrating. It takes a lot of mind power to not fall for the stuff they've cleverly crafted to get your mind going, lol.
My mom always says how bad it is to be stubborn. Boy, I tell you there's a time and a place for everything and in this instance I'm glad for that stubborn, determination.
But what I learned through this is that there is a lot of garbage on the internet. I really don't know how I didn't find WA sooner but when I did it was like finding the real oasis in a dessert.
My mind was relieved to find normalcy, lol. Once I started the lessons I knew this was legit beceause there were no million dollar thises and overnight success thats.
It was work hard and it pays off. So when it comes to make money online type stuff, I typically look in here first and I don't do a whole lot of searching because I already know these people know how to work psychology on you.
That's not to say there aren't other good sources out there. But I've even found some top experts will still spam in their email lists and stuff like that.
I can't remember his name but the bald, skinny guy who does SEO vids on YouTube is good (Edit: Brian Dean creator of backlinko.com. Someone mentioned Neil Patel who produces good content but I don't really follow him), Blogging University is good and a couple others.
The truth is though, you will learn everything you need to know in the training at WA. That's where I've learned everything I've used to obtain these results.
I use a combination of the techniques that both Kyle and Jay teaches. With one other I picked up from the bald guy (Edit: Brian Dean creator of backlinko.com . Someone mentioned Neil Patel who produces good content but I don't really follow him) to do with headings. (I'll edit in his name later on, I don't want to lose my train of thought)
I've done the OEC (Online Entrepeneur Certification) twice, part of Bootcamp and have probably watched just about every recent SEO live training. I've taken tons of notes and actually applied the techniques they teach.
I still don't understand some stuff like AMP and if siteSpeed is better than a caching plugin but I've resolved to let the experts handle that. In other words, I use siteSpeed and I don't check my siteSpeed anymore.
I use all free plugins and tools. The only things I pay for are Jaaxy and WA.
How To Get Ranked On The First Page In 18 Minutes
First of all, its important to know that if your site is new, you need to give it a month or two of consistency before you can do this. You need to gain search enging trust.
Its ok, things take time. I posted a couple months ago about making page 3. Yes, even for me, it took time to get here. You can read more by clicking the link below:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/marlinda1/blog/page-3-in-13-...
Some stats about my site that I achieved this:
- Moz trust rank: 12
- Traffic: 2k/mo
- Domain Age: 1.5 years
- Actual worked on site: 6 months
How I Rank On The First Page Of Google In 18 Minutes
There are a ton of training on how to do this. For this blog post, I'm going to share with you the trainings that I used here at WA.
If you want, I can create a more in depth training. I've actually done one already on adding keywords to your website which you can watch by clicking the link below:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/add-keywords-to-you...
Of course the foundation of your website is built by following the OEC training. That's going to walk you through:
- building your site
- getting your site indexed
- keyword research
- social media and traffic
- adding media
- etc.
You can not achieve this if you don't have a solid foundation for your business. That's what I think a lot of people miss about the OEC training.
The live training I recommend you watch are the SEO ranking guide type ones.

- https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/build-a-niche-site-...
- https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/jays-seo-process-fo...
Here is some info that I would recommend you also take some time to look at from Brian Dean:
And finally, I recommend you watch my training about adding keywords to your site. This will include extra techniques not mentioned in these trainings.
If I can say one thing that works above all else is FOCUS. Don't let every glitzy thing distract you. Don't let what he says or she says distract you.
Some people say I'm 'tough' or 'hardcore' and stuff like that. I'm not. I just understand that I have to do 'A' to get 'B' and it won't happen because 'I don't feel like it'.
I don't feel any different than any of you. My heart bleeds when someone says I'm a dreamer or when I don't see the results I want. I cry and want to give up too.
All of that. I'm not any different than you. The only thing that's different is my mindset so I challenge you to continue to develop yours too.
If you're wondering, my record for this is rank 2 for my target keyword. I actually posted it then took if down...Nerves, lol.
So in closing, I want to thank you for reading. I also want to thank you for your support. It means the world to me.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments below. Also if you have any valuable information to add to this, please feel free to.
Hope this helps and I'll talk to you later :)

PS. I have blacked out the search results for a reason. I will not be sharing my niche. I appreciate your interest and maybe I'll share later but for now its a closed bag. :)

Thank you so much for sharing this. A lot of great info and training on how to do SEO properly and get ranked quickly. I've had my current site for around 4 years now and nearing around 260 posts, however, they haven't always ranked very well and traffic has been generally low though I've had some big spikes before, but they never lasted.
I've gone back through the training and realized there were some things I missed and also I hadn't been very consistent with posting either. I'm now correcting all those things and I'm starting to notice a big difference.
Now that I'm being more consistent and using SEO properly such as Meta tags and keywords, things are changing. With the addition of SiteContent here at WA, I'm now noticing when my content is getting indexed in Google and I've now had 12 posts in a row all indexed in Google with some of them ranking from pages 2-4 already on Google. Those posts also are generally 1500 words or more with some even reaching 3,000.
I've also noticed I'm starting to get more clicks on some of my affiliate links to Amazon (though no sales yet) and even my Google AdSense revenue is increasing just a tiny bit. Traffic's still a bit on the low side, but is starting to rise more on certain days. My bounce rate is starting to decrease and the length of time traffic stays on a page or post is starting to increase. If I can keep consistent and continue with the proper SEO techniques, I know things will continue to improve.
Thanks for the informative post and for taking the time out to write this blog and training too! I’m going to take a look this evening for future reference how to rank quickly.
All the best with your business :)

This is so extensive, Marlinda. You have some real goodies in here, I'll make sure to add this to my favorites.
Thank you!
You said it so well!! I was thinking of doing a similar post just the other day, but you have really done well on this!!
(I think it's one of those "Newbies NEED to Read this" posts).
I have been going back to previous training, and Jays past webinars consistently, it's truly AWESOME!

Hi Marlinda, this was a fabulous read. Thanks. I think the guy that you are referring to is Neil Patel. Here is a link to his YouTube profile.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl-Zrl0QhF66lu1aGXaTbfw
Keep well.
Brian
Oh man! I didn't even think about him either. See I was going to say 'white guy' but I don't want to be so careless with race or sound offensive.
I've never been one to make fuss about it and I think I care less now since my husband is a 'white guy' whom I affectionately call Bert (Sesame Street reference, LOL!)
Just sometimes people get offended about it and I didn't want to seem offensive so I decided not to say anything of the sort.
Completely forgot about Neil Patel too but I meant Brian Dean. I made the changes but Neil is good too. Its been so long but for some reason, I prefer Brian from backlinko.com .
Thanks for sharing :)
Marlinda
LOL! When you said "bald and skinny" I immediately thought of Neil Patel but then I also thought, "Mmm, maybe Marlinda means Brian Dean."
I watch both of them and I do learn a great deal from them.
All the best, Marlinda.
Brian
Great post, Marlinda. Thanks so much for sharing. I am going to dive into your links this evening and get to work.
Have a great day!
~Gina
Hey Gina! You're welcome. Just keep creating quality content consistently and the results will come :)
Hope you have a great day too & try to do one or two each day. Don't overwhelm yourself trying to cram it all in if you can't :)
Marlinda
Hi, Marlinda. Thanks for your reply. I am trying not to get too overwhelmed. I am pretty inspired right now so I am trying to capitalize:)

I love this post. I too had scoured the internet. I found WA at the end of January and have done the first training and now am doing the Bootcamp training.
I felt very quickly that WA was the real deal too because they didn't ask for thousands of dollars upfront and actually did what they said they would. I had a website up in no time.
Now I'm wading through all the information trying to figure out what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong. I think I need to slow down and absorb some of the info. I want to do everything at once. I love your suggestions and I'm going follow that.
