11 Tips to Make You Stand Out
Have you ever wanted to know the tips for getting ahead and only found them out years down the track? I know how you feel. So, I’m going to give you the all-time quality content tips that will see you ranking fast if you follow them.
1. Answer Real Questions from Googles First page
Research your Keywords and Topic
No matter what niche you have chosen you will have some large companies to compete against. In the MMO niche, this would be Neil Patel, Moz, and Ahrefs, just to name a few. If you see them on the first page of Google you need to scroll down to the ‘People also asked’ list and keep looking for another title.
I’m going to show you an unorthodox method of finding if your title will work. Once you have an idea for a post first open an incognito page (type in Google.com) to start your research. Now type your title into the incognito page and see what is listed.
You want to look at the first 5 listings and analyze who wrote them.
2. Check out your competition
- If there are adverts, look further down to see full articles!
- Who wrote the post, are they a large company with authority?
If they are companies who probably employ a thousand people to write 50 posts per day, then forget writing about that title, you can’t compete. But if most of the competition is from Wiki or Reddit or Quora or smaller non-authority companies, then you have found your title and it’s time to do your research.
What you specifically want to see on page one of Google are “non-authority” sites. You want Page One inundated with community-based websites and forums and these you can compete with and even use for some research.

I'm like you so I too found it hard to write more than 500 words but over time I've improved. I've found that breaking the points down into headings and then writing concisely for each section really creates a 1500 word post very quickly.
Get stuck in and let me know how you go.

Just a question though, why so many internal links? As every time Jay gives a class, he says that just using one internal link and 1 external link is enough? I am a little confused now. Usually I do use more than 1 internal link though, but hardly 7.
Thanks!
When you think of your website content it is important to understand that you are trying to keep people on your website for longer and you can do this by giving them relevant information in your other posts.
i.e. a post about marketing might talk about creating an email list, you would then have an internal link to a post about an autoresponder.
This builds a network of links between your posts which tells Google that people see you as an authority in your niche. So it doesn't really matter how many internal links you put in, it's a personal choice. It won't harm your website.

After new posts age and there are other related posts added, they can be interlinked which results in more internal links..
The only question I have is around the amount of external and internal links, I'd be afraid that to many could be seem as scam. I only add more than one external link unless the article is a review. Am I wrong in doing this. Jim
I also add as many relevant internal links as I can, around 7 and when I look on my flowchart in GA people are clicking through.
