SEO For Beginners: How To Rank Your Website On The First Page!

welcome back guys in this SEO tutorialI'm going to tell you exactly how to rank your website or blog on the frontpage of Google and tell you why you've been taught wrong by a lot of theexperts so I've been ranking websites and blogs in Google for a very very longtime but the problem is most of the experts will tell you how to do it butthey've already got Authority so it's very very easy for them and we'll talkabout that in a second but there's many ways you would want to rank a blog or awebsite and the biggest the biggest reason is people want to make moneypeople want to monetize their websites monetize their blogsso for filip marketing sell courses sell their e-commerce products there's lotsof reasons why you would want to get to the front page of Google and you knowit's a free organic traffic that's high converting so on the left here is someof my rankings from one of my sites I have many many sites on Google rankingon the front page they can page and they can meet plenty of money now if youdon't know what search engine optimization is you don't know what I'mtalking about it's simple what you do is you want torank your website or your video for particular keywords on the front page ofGoogle and there is me right there which we're going to be talking about thislater on in the training I'm ranking for a lot of keywords with this video and ifyou don't believe me this video is getting over 2, 000 views per day you cango and check it on my channel this is all from organic search traffic fromboth the YouTube and Google so what your plan is to try and rank on this page soyou can get organic traffic people to your website that are high convertingand purchase from you or purchase affiliate products from you but thebiggest mistake that I see is everyone keeps listening to people like this nowI have nothing against this person but we need to address a problem that a lotof these guys you know just a big problem with these people these thesekinds of people the problem is these guys tell you generic garbage that doesnot apply to you because you are most likely a new website ok and what thesepeople say to you is go and optimize your meta descriptions we'll talk aboutwhat those are in a second go and add keywords to your contentyou need a fast website well yeah of course this is all generic stuff thateverybody knows but the problem is these are completely useless if you don't haveauthority on your website what these guys have massive websites in theirindustry they already have Authority and it's completely pointless listening totheir information if you don't have authority okay so I'm gonna take youthrough starting from scratch on how to actually get Authority like this andactually start ranking your websites in Google so this is actually whatAuthority is we'll just go through it real quickly before we move on Authorityis basically how strong your domain or pages so URL is how strong are specificpages and dr demand rate domain rank is how strong a specific domain isobviously the higher the domain rank the better your website ranks so of coursepeople like this go and tell you some generic stuff that works for thembecause they already have huge amounts of authority and domain rank so they cango rank for literally any keyword without any effort at all but little oldme a little old you we have a lot of trouble because of this misinformationnow what I'm going to actually do is take you through the process step bystep and show the two critical things that you actually need to rank okay thetwo most important things literally if you don't get this right nothing elsematters okay so let's move on with this and step one is obviously you need tohave a keyword okay if you don't know what a keyword is it's very simple it'ssomething that someone types in to Google and you show up for that specifickeyword but there's a problem a lot of people will go and try and rankfor the hardest keywords there is a difficulty so for example longerkeywords called long tail keywords are easier to rank for so for example how tomake money online using a smartphone would be a lot easier to rank for thansomething like a shorter keyword make money online okay so the longer thekeyword generally the easier is it the easier it is for you to rank for so whenyou were starting to rank your website it makes sense to go and try and rankfor long keywords instead and a bit of a tip herethe longer the keyword Google actually goes out we'll talk about this actuallywe'll talk about this in a second but it goes out and gets all these other coolkeywords for you that you can rank for so that's step one okay when you starttry and rank for longer tail keywords because they're easier to rank for now abig mistake that I see is people will go and take that long tail keyword andthey'll use the entire sentence lots of times and their article this is veryvery bad who's going to be over optimizing yourarticle so I'm going to assume that you have a general sense of Google and howit works so keywords and articles and stuff like that so I'm not going to bereally going too much into that but what I meant with the longtail keywords andreally any keyword is you don't need to go and stuff your article with keywordsbecause YouTube are sorry Google is smart enough to go and get all theselittle keywords and little words inside your article and piece them together forexample this is an article from one of my websites and I'm ranking not on thefirst page but like I have my website showing up on various pages for over4, 000 keywords and America alone if you can see here I have all of thesekeywords on the top page and you know small search volume but it all adds upso a lot of people think that they have to try and rank for one specific keywordbut it's not the case Google is now smart enough to rank you for hundredsand thousands of keywords as long as you start to build up Authority for thatspecific page okay so initially you would if you just keep buildingbacklinks and stuff with your page you will just keep going up and up in theranks it's a little bit of a process okay which we are going to talk aboutnow I'm have no search volume well this is actually the clicks to one of mywebsites in the last seven days and a few of my keywords have absolutely zeromonthly volume but they actually get clicks okay 20 clicks 20 clicks in thelast week this adds up alone this is out of a thousand keywords from the top 16here this adds up alone to over a hundred free clicks right here onkeywords that have zero search volume these are very very easy to rank for nowwhy has Google not picked up the search volume well itcould be a trending topic right now we don't know but a lot of the time thesetools search keyword tools are not actually very accurate so destroying arank for everything now I want to move on to step two before you move on tothis okay you need awesome engaging content content that holds the readerit's not all about content for Google and Google anymore back in the day wecould as write content for google and it ranked but now Google takes userexperience user engagement into account so I'm going to show you one of myperfect articles right here which is laid out in a pattern that holds theperson onto my page okay so first of all I have a little bit of text here we arefrozen hold up case we have a little bit oftext here then I always have an image because an image holds the person ontothe page there's some more text in images I bring my images and quite earlyokay because that triggers a change and it keeps people involved in your pageand also you want to link to other pages on your website because if people clickthose and go through it counts as kid that person stayed on a website forlonger that gives good signals to Google now if we go down we have more pictureswe have some more pictures and words and everything looks natural it all worksgood it's a nice good long engaging article but I want to tell you a littlebit of a secret that really keeps people on my website okaydown the bottom on nearly every single one of my articles I had a video thereason I do this B is because a large percentage of people will go to thebottom and they'll start watching the video what happens the video is for fiveminutes long they stab my website for four or five minutes longer okay andthis says to Google okay this person is interested in Franklin's article we'regonna give Franklin a bit of a boost in the rankings this is really importantthis is a structure that's been working for me really really well if you don'thave any of your own videos you can simply share a related video fromYouTube on to your article okay so that's the most the first important stepguys is content if your content isn't rightyou're not going to rank that's it okay now you can't rankwithout backlinks and stuff would good with good content with easy keywords Ido that all the time if the content needs to be amazing okay so content isthe number one factor right now content is king and two ranking if you don't getit right you're not gonna rent is that simple nowstep number three is obviously optimize meta descriptions add keywords to yourcontent and you do need a fast website like the like the experts have beensaying however this is useless if you don't put everything else in place firstnow if you don't know what a Meta Description is guys it's simple a minutedescription is this down here you can use a plugin called Yoast SEO and youcan actually change the title you can change that yeah sorry the SEO title andthe description and what that's what that's going to do it you just find thishere tell people what your website is about when they search it in Google soyou want something that stands out and you want something that you know want tohave the keywords in there but not too much mix it up so for example I searchedwoodworking plans and this has come up with woodworking project plans bedside Idon't know what that is and woodworking plans now you see in here the words areseparate okay because google is smart enough to figure things out I put itbest woodworking plans it doesn't have to be in one single singular word okayor singular sentence now let's go back to where I was make sure I'm not lostare we were here so step three is these as well but once again these arecompletely useless if you don't have the two critical things in place they'regoing to be talking about in this training now number four you needbacklinks and more importantly it must look natural backlinks is what's goingto give you the authority you need here okay Google will always use backlinks asa ranking factor and it will be one of the most important ranking factors foras long as we live it's too late they can't change that now so you needbacklinks and more importantly they must look natural okay so these are the twocritical steps that you need to rank your article or website in Google youneed May engaging content this is the first stepif you don't have this your backlinks are not probably not going to work oryou're going to need to spend thousands of dollars on backlinks or lots and lotsof hours building them if you get your content right the first timeyou will not need as many backlinks to rank and then of course once you havethe engaging content and the good content you need backlinks okay but moreimportantly they need to look natural I'm going to show you my strategy that Iuse to actually rank my sites and it's no one really does it okay now this issomething about the content that I am really really strict about one of themis stop listening to the SEO plugins what I mean by that is use these pluginsfor what they're intended to be used for which is meta descriptions and stufflike that but these plugins are going to give you recommendationsdon't even bother listening to them it says here the exact match keyworddensity is 0.

1% this is low it's actually not low because I havedifferent keyword variations in my article and everything's just spread outand mixed up Google's smart enough to figure that up I completely ignore allof this stuff here just ignore it it's pointless you onlywant to use these four meta descriptions and meta titles okay that's it trust meand then you want to make your content super natural with a nice flow and thenadd keyword variations for example if we're going to rank for if we're goingto rank for safe example here Clickbank for beginners I would add things insidemy article like Clickbank tutorial how to make money on Clickbank those arekeyword variations okay and then link to relevant content on your website like Ishowed you here where I link to relevant content on my websites and so this goesthrough to another article on my blog and it needs to be relevant because inGoogle we'll start to figure out what everything is aboutokay simple that is really really easy now remember guys I know a lot of youare beginners in this SEO tutorial and meta descriptions are these okay just soyou understand just just so on the same page here a mirror descriptionmeta title is something that shows up then these search engines it is actuallydifferent to your article title here okay this is what Google sees this iswhat shows up on the front page when someone actually searches for yourwebsite okay now how do you know if your content is good enough guys one thingyou got to do you're gonna take the keyword you're trying to rank for put itinto Google and check out every single website on the front page every singleone don't miss any out okay and all you're gonna do is you're going to seethe quality of that content you're gonna see how long that content is you'regonna see how many words they use you're gonna see how many images they useyou're gonna see how many videos they use and you're gonna make your article athousand times better than their articles that's it that is how you knowif you have the right content to rank in Google that's it it's that simple thatis all I do this here is nothing this would be probably be quite easy tooutrank it's just a course with very very minimal content on it this one herehas a lot of content on it so you are up against someone with a lot of words anda lot of images and quite a few to videos okay to videos yes so you wouldactually have to do content that is probably better than this page okaycontent that the readers want to read content that's engaging content thatGoogle wants to see and content that gives off positive signals to Google torank you at the top and that includes things like good meta descriptions thathave to get people clicking because that's also a ranking factorclick-through rate so good titles and descriptions and not only that actuallygood articles so that is how you know if your content is good enough make itbetter than everybody else's that's simple now the backlinks this is whereeveryone gets confused white hat and black hat so white head is basically afancy way of saying build your links natural but in my opinion doesn't reallymatter because Google's terms and conditions if you build any links it'sagainst the rules and with white hat that's supposed to be called blogoutreach and stuff like that youstill asking people for links so you are still going against Google's terms sowith all of my sites I do start with the black cap backlinks because it's reallythe same stuff white and real real 100% white hat backlinks are backlinks thatyou get from other sites without asking for them but do you think that you canactually get those backlinks when you're new absolutely not no one cares aboutyou nobody knows about you so I do kind of black hair white hair gray hairwhatever you want to call it but at the end of the day if you are building abacklink and now you know manually or asking people for backlinks white hatblack hat doesn't matter you're still going against Google'sTerms and Conditions okay and everyone's doing it even big SEO companies goagainst Google's Terms and Conditions literally every single website doesunless your website naturally gets backlinks from people it's breakingGoogle's Terms and Conditions so this is how I dot I'm going to show you mynatural way of building backlinks to my website to actually get you ranked andGoogle this works really really really well for me okay let's jump into it allright guys my apologies I had to have a drinks my throat was getting very verydry but I'm about to show you exactly how I rank all of my pages on my blogsand websites okay so we're gonna jump in and go slide by slide this won't takelong and it'll make you understand clearly how to actually don't rank yourwebsite gonna be like ah ha this makes a lot of sense so usually guys a websitewill have a home page and for the sake of this video we're gonna say that wehave six articles okay and this is the page we're going to try and rank and allof these articles are linked like this and then we have a couple of randomlinks going to this one and back to this one maybe they're related you can haverandom links to this page that page doesn't matter but more importantly weare linking out to two other related websites as well called outbound linkswhich you are allowed to do and you should be doing because it adds you'vegot to think of the Internet as a massive spider web the bigger you growyour spider web on your page the more you're gonna start to rank and the moreyou're telling Google about your page so if you have an article about how to makea blog you want to actually link out to other websites about howto make a blog even sometimes if they're your competitor okay no joke you want togo out and link to other articles even even a Wikipedia page that says bloggingor what are bloggers write or even a youtube video link out to other stuffthat's really really important now the first thing you're going to do you needto understand that when you start a website you need to think to yourselfwhat would I do if I was Google what would I want to see from a brand newwebsite what would I want to see I'm Google right now what would I want tosee simple there's one thing they want to see naturalness okay they want tomake sure everything is natural so what's the first thing any websiteusually starts social accounts okay social accounts are your first tip goand start multiple social accounts but make sure they are relevant to you sofor example Pinterest is really good for the cooking dish so you would go and usePinterest Facebook is great Instagram there's probably not really thereGoogle's you kind of could do really unlimited backlinks but things likeFacebook is you've got to have a Facebook and no doubts even it doesn'tmatter one niche but build your social accounts and stats you post on yoursocial accounts back to your website and make it random don't just link back tothe page of trying to rank linked to the home page this is one of the biggestmistakes I see what a lot of people do is they'll just send links to thePatriot earner rank Google's smart enough to figure out and go hey old Jonor Franklin over here is trying to trying to beat us at our own game we'regonna D index this site you need to send links to the home page as well you needto sing links to random articles as well even if you're not trying to rank thatparticular article okay so number one do what Google what expects you to do goand build social media accounts and then go and post your articles on thosesocial media accounts it's good for branding that's what Google it's expectfrom you when you start a website okay that's the first step because it makesno sense imagine if Google saw you throwing all of these gifts posts andPPM's and really strong backlinks out one of your pages straight awayinstantly they're not gonna rank you because they know what you're trying todo okay now the next step is really very simple as well go to blogs and forumsand leave comments and once again you want to link to other pages as well likeyour home page and your others your other pages why do you want to do blogcomments and forums next because it's natural okaythis website is gone and credits some social accounts now they're going outand just and forums and blogs commenting and engaging in communities okay thislooks natural to Google right simple and you start to build up some Authority nowthe next step is to go and once again one thing that I really really reallysuggest you do actually is start a YouTube channel now the reason I haven'tput this in a social account section is because did if you can get a few startgetting into videos now for your web sites you have a big advantage overeverybody do you know why because YouTube is doing something YouTube andGoogle obviously the same company but YouTube are Google is now prioritizingvideos in these search results so that's reason number one reason number twoYouTube if you put a link in the description it's a backlink even thoughit's a nofollow backlink it's a backlink okay so it builds out your spider webbut bigger so I highly recommend you start a YouTube channel even if it'sjust a little affiliate website you don't have to put your face on oranything you can just put a bunch of bunch of you could put a bunch of imagestogether put it on YouTube who cares if anyone views it then doesthe matter you're just trying to create a backlink okay and um YouTube andGoogle obviously prioritizing the video right now and you can see it everywherenearly every single keyword you see now will have these videos stacks at the topokay so YouTube's really really important so as you can see we arecreating a natural flow of backlinks social media accounts blogs and forumcomments and then YouTube channels now a lot of the experts gonna say thisdoesn't work anymore but they are wrong okaythe real blackhat guys will garden spam sites with real strong links to startwith eventually they will vanish from Google which just happened recently toone of my three who said I was didn't know what I wasdoing he now doesn't even rank in Google he's making no money and I'm still atthe top ranking why because I made my websites look natural my websites have anatural backlink this is a long-term game a natural backlink profile this isa long-term game okay now next what you want to do is you want to go and createwhat we call web 2.

0 s what these are guys is these are free websites I willshow you one here this is a free website that you can go and create you'll seethat I have one two three four articles on this website this is basically and itis even a video of me look at that then it's not from this channel either Iactually do this stuff guys as well to make affiliate commissions now what I'vedone is I've gone and created a relevant free website this is calledwordpress.

com I create quite a lot of these and I get by pam-i-am radical mytry tackle my article writer to write articles for me and I put four or fivearticles on these free websites and I'll make them look like real websites wehave a banner here we have good quality articles I actually link to websitesthat aren't even mine as well well actually no sorry this is linking toanother page but licious click on this one this will link to another websitethat isn't mine this is not my website but it's relevant ok the best landingpage design examples because I'm ranking for landing page and funnel buildingkeywords ok so web 2.

0 is a real free website thisis the next stage in my process of ranking you know this is kind of likesearch engine optimization on a budget but the key here is to make actuallygood quality free websites that look real and natural ok so that's the nextstep the last step well this is not really the last step but this is usuallyall I need to do is guest posting I go to up work or freelancer and I paypeople to do blogging outreach and I get real proper authority backlinks I don'tuse pp ends anymore not really any more and I go and pay these people to get meget my article on other websites okay and that's all I do guysthis is the structure I use and this is this is a very very natural structurebecause you'd not you're not Google smart okay Google's not going to be likehey if Franklin goes and gets guest posting first they're going to be likehow does how does anyone even know about this website they have no socialaccounts they have no blog forum comments anywhere they have no web 2.

0is they have no like Google's smart guides Google's me like guest postingthese blogs put probably never even seen the site before okay so you need to besmart now the last I'm going to be talking about actually is I know I'vegot a little bit fast guys but we need to I like to keep my videos under halfan hour we might have gone over that by now but the whole point is to keepeverything natural and link out to random stuff on your site okay becauseat all and at the end of the day and all adds up to overall domain Authority andeventually you can guard in this rank for keywords without any backlinksbecause your site's strong enough put for that particular niche now anchortext and erricka text if you don't know what an anchor text is that is this hereso this is an anchor text actually since I'm doing the web 2.

0 this is an anchortext going so building sales funnels okay let's say that's what you're tryingto rank for Beth or not in this case the thing is an anchor text this is thisis what's probably going to kill your site if you don't do it right an anchortext is how you link back to your site and we used to just use the keywordswe're trying to rank for this is a big no-no now what I do is first of allbranded stuff so for example my website here on line dimes com I would go and domy anchor text in my web 2.

0 S as online dimes online space dimes online capitalonline dimes and lower case online dimes different variations of my brand andalso the actual entire URL so with a link back by doing that let's just seeif I've done it on here landing pages I'll just save it that on here becausethis is actually one that I'm using no I haven't so I haven't even linkedthis website to my site yet because I'm actually still building it out so therewe go I'm probably gonna do the next article but anyway you link back andthen you do natural and general stuff like click here this blog this articlethen you I do the keyword variations so if I'm trying to rank for how to makemoney online I might just do make money or making money online or this way tomake money right I never use the exact match keywords anymore so I never do ananchor text off how to make money online okay I'll do make money online this wayto make money online this make money blog all this money blog right those arekeyword variations I never do exact match keywords anymore alright guys sothat is how I rank my websites now the key is to be consistent natural and havea space in between these steps so do social accounts wait a couple weeks dosome blog come out blog form comments and be too consistent now you can youcan rank stuff on the front page it takes around about three to six monthssometimes longer depending on how strong the keyword is okay guys and before weleave I have a special if you actually want to start your own website and youwant cheap hosting Bluehost has given me an exclusive deal to people that watchmy content okay at what are we two dollars and ninetyfive per month which is really really cheap it's usually around about sevenbucks and even other people that promote Bluehost don't get a deal this cheapokay so if you do want to start a website you do wanna stay your ownaffiliate marketing blog you're doing a state your own blog there'll be a linkbelow where you can get this deal at two dollars 95 per month which is insanelycheap guys okay whoo that was a long video so this is how I rank my stuffguys you know the two key things really here it's very important the two keythings content and sometimes guys you can rank I rank for our quite a hard keyword without any backlinks because the content so good if your content isreally really good you have a higher chance of ranking for stuff with no -little backlinks okay and then the next important thing is you must you needbacklinks like roll like okay you might get lucky andone of the articles might rank but you need backlinks overall to your websitesand your article to start to build up their authority then when your Authorityis quite strong you can go and just post a random blog post and it'll probablybreak and give you traffic all right guys that's it for this video I'll seeyou in the next one you.
