Killer Tips to Increase Search Engine Traffic by 213% in 2018

1: Create Awesome and Long Content

Yeah! We are tired of hearing that Content is King. Want an opinion on this? Yes, it really is.

Without the right type of content, no matter how much backlinks you have made or how much you have done the On-page SEO, you are going to receive penalty at the end.

If your blog content doesn’t provide value, visitor will take no time to close your web page and visit the next one. And it directly affects your bounce rate. Bounce rate itself isn’t the measure to show your web page in Google with good rankings.

It just clarifies that whether or not the visitor liked your content. And if the visitor close your web too soon, then you are gone from the SERPs.

However, if your content is longer and of good quality then it will definitely rank and blow out competitors websites. Generally, longer content is also more likely to be perceived excellent by your visitors.

Also, Google will appreciate your site too.

2: Backlinks

Note that I haven’t said Backlinks! Backlinks! And Backlinks!. Why?

Because its the quality of backlink that matters not the quantity.

Always remember the quality while you are going out in the field to make your niche relevant backlinks.

With the exception of this, its also recommended to make your URLs short as much as possible.
