Hello Guys 'n Dolls!

I hope this article finds you in the best of health - mental and physical!

SO, Google is changing or should I say has changed the way it does things - it seems like keywords are on their way out, or so it seems. The algorithm has changed. Google is now more interested in how we reach out targeted audience without being mechanical. In other words, read what Google is looking for below:

6 ways to amp up your traffic to your website

  1. Create more content - word content is now a positive criteria. A word count of 500 is an appetizer or gravy, and one of 1000 is food and frequency counts more.
  2. Create better content - give more value to your reader - information, entertainment or inspiration.
  3. Target long tail keywords - ice cream won't cut it, but strawberry-orange flavor might!
  4. Use LSI keywords - LSI (or Latent Semantic) keywords are terms related to your main keywords. Not synonyms, though. They help Google pinpoint the exact topic of your article.
  5. Use outbound and inbound linking - if you choose to link outbound, ensure that your DA - Domain Authority score is one that Google likes. Of course, enough cannot be said about internal linking.
  6. Create great titles/headlines - as everyone knows, the title writes the content. So, make it happen!

In a nutshell, write, write, write, and even then, write some more. Much success.

Namaste

It makes me feel better that ranking is not very attached to keywords, but I don't understand LSI keywords.

Yes and no. LSI are not my 'forte' either, but it is now the way of the land.

Thank you for sharing this!

You're welcome, R.

Thanks a lot and really helpful..... May i ask... you mentioned "word content is now a positive criteria 500 is an appetizer or gravy, 1000 is food and frequency counts more" is that the 500 & 1000 indicates the number of post or word count.... Please guide me.

This is word counts.. from my experience I would say go for 1000 words minimum with articles... 500 words just does not cover any subject in any details...

Thanks a lot for the clarification...

You're welcome, P. Yes, 500 words, 1,000 words.

Well said, Moni.
M

Good advice M. Keywords are dead, long live content.

Thanks, M.
