Organic traffic is traffic that Google sends to your site because in the eyes of the largest search engine in the world your site is providing valuable engaging content to your readers. I’m presuming that you are not happy with your website traffic and ultimately your online income.

Stay with me I will show you how to increase traffic to my (your) website in simple easy to follow steps.

Work with keywords

Keywords are the nuts and bolts of any income producing website, people use words called keywords to search for stuff on the internet, so how do you capitalise on keywords?

Research keywords

Understanding keywords and how they work is where you start, by using this keyword tool you can find keywords that will increase your website traffic and get you on the first page of search results.,

JAXXY will bring up results for millions of keywords the important numbers to look for are AVG, Traffic, QSR, KQI and SEO. I’ll explain what each symbol stands for and how you can use the numbers to increase traffic to my (your) site.

AVG:

This symbol means the average monthly searches for this keyword

Traffic:

This is the estimated amount of traffic that you can expect if you make the first page of the search results for that keyword.

QSR:

KQI:

Is a recommendation as to how difficult it will be to rank for that keyword.

SEO:

Ok so to make it easier to understand, look for a high average monthly search results, then look for low QSR or websites competing for that keyword (below 50 is good) finally look for the SEO score over 90 is good.

Now you know that you could be on to a winning keyword that will increase you traffic, your next task is to write content around that keyword that will be useful to your website visitors.

Your keyword for your post should be in the url, the headline using H1 and placed about every 10 paragraphs as a rule of thumb. You should write a minimum of 1,500 words using the keyword that you have chosen, keep the text in short paragraphs in easy to read bite size chunks.

Use high quality images to break up the article, dont forget to put a description in the alt text explaining  what the image is about, all of this will help Google and other search engines to determine a ranking number for your post.

Submit your page to the search engines

It’s important that once you have written a post around a carefully chosen keyword that you submit that url to the search engines like Google and Bing.
