9 Immediately Actionable Tips For Higher Web Traffic and Earnings
Good SEO is such a mysterious, magical horse. The search algorithms seem like a mirage sometimes. So many people sell SEO services, yet most of them have no idea what really works and what doesn’t. Literally, no one can guarantee you “First page on Google”.
You have to learn by doing, or by paying someone who is successfully doing, at least for what is working now.
I have struggled over the years and probably learned slower than I’d like to admit, sadly… but here are a few things I picked up along the way that have helped me get better at getting traffic and then better at making conversions inside the site as well.
- You must pick a niche.
- Buying backlinks worked for me despite so many people saying it doesn’t.
- More offers does not mean more revenue.
- A basic niche website can easily earn $15/m to start.
- You don’t need a fancy SEO plugin
- You don’t need any expensive plugins. Free plugins work great.
- Important technical things are load time, lack of errors, and good viewability on mobile.
- Crappy content does not convert
- Write and design for a low bounce rate
