5,000+ extra visitors to my blog thanks to using Jay's training.
Hi folks, I thought I'd share some results from applying something Jay has been teaching recently in his classes here, specifically involving using the "People also ask" or rich snippets method to SEO.
In short, this is a rather new feature added to Google search where if you Google anything, there's a good chance you will see (near the top page) something that says "People Also Ask" and then a list of common questions and the answers come from specific sites targeting this. Jay's training teaches you how to get on that specific result and get clicks from it.
And that brings us to the results in question...
I've been applying Jay's strategy for nearly 2 months now on my nature blog and the results speak for themselves:
The site has gotten over 5,000 clicks from this branch of SEO alone, and while a bulk of my main traffic to this site comes from general Google searches (and recently Google discover traffic too), these extra 5,000 clicks has helped this site grow further, improve it's authority and had gotten me closer to starting to run display ads on it to earn passive income moving forward and what's best is that I'm still not finished applying what Jay has been teaching there.
Long story short, this approach to SEO has positive cascading results and implementing it isn't even difficult.
I highly recommend everyone who is running a niche blog apply these teachings as soon as they can.
For anyone wondering (or unable to access the training if you're not P+, here's some extra stuff to help you regardless):
How can you tell if you site has been indexed, ranking and getting clicks from the people also ask search results? It's simple:
1) Log into your Google search console.
2) Performance-->search results (on left hand side). This is usually the default screen that comes up when you log in anyway.
3) Where it says "Search type: Web", "Date: Last whatever date", there is a +New button. Click that.
4) Select search appearance-->FAQ Rich Results.
5) Click apply. Make sure your date is set to a long period (weeks/months).
If anything comes up, it means Google is indexing/ranking your FAQ (people also ask basically) on it's search engine.
Pro tip for this strategy:
Whatever keyword you are seeking to rank for, Google it first, then see what the top questions are.
Make a section of your article dedicated to those EXACT questions, then answer them in your own unique way.

Excellent job, Vitaliy! 👍👍
I have been working with PPA and just beginning to see results.

Yeah for P+ members. That I can’t get as P member, since I am not P+. For us we get these same training from ParthaB who freely teaches the Google autosuggest along with the People Ask section. Blogging informational articles and finding questions in Quora. I am working on this. Thanks for letting us know what works. I hope someday I can upgrade to P+.
Focus on making your existing questions and answers similar to the same questions you see on people also ask Brenda. So if you have a post on a specific topic, Google that topic, see what people are asking and use those questions in your post. This should help a lot.
That's exactly what I am doing. Thanks for the encouragement. I need that. It's fun doing it this way. Have a great productive week.

Hey Vitaliy, long time no post!! Haha. Thanks for sharing - I'll check the training. I'm very behind on those PP videos lol.
Question: I don't have FAQ Rich Results option. See screenshot. I chose the 12 months as date, and it only added "product results", but for 3 months it was just two options "videos and web light results"
There's a chance that Google hasn't yet indexed this in your site and reflected it on search console. I'd follow the training in Jay's classes to set this up and you'll let Google know it's there. After awhile it should start to show up.
Oh gotcha! I'll def watch the training ASAP then. Thanks man :)
