You have probably read tons of posts, on how to get more traffic from Google, just by learning some kind of cool SEO technique. Techniques that often include, keyword density, meta tags, content placement, duplicated content, outside links, etc. However, there is one SEO technique that has worked very well for me and that one does not include any advance SEO mumbo jumbo.
I have also found out why this simple SEO method works. Think about, what is the core of Google? I would guess, to provide fresh and relevant results to its users. Not, to provide outdated and irrelevant results. Sounds rather healthy, don’t you think? What would happen if Google suddenly would start to give their user’s bad search results? Well, they would start to loose visitors and probably a bandwagon of cash every other second, too. My best guess is that Google wouldn’t let that happen, not in the first place anyway.
If we think logical, what will Google need to keep a tight grip of their money? Well, it’s simple, sites with a constantly flow of new and relevant content, which they can present to the people that are searching for it. They do not need sites that are just pure spam and has achieved their rankings by some questionable SEO technique.
So, is there some way we could take advantage of this? What would happen if we just gave Google and the other search engines what they really want, instead of trying to spam our way to the top, would that work?
Of course, it would. By frequently adding fresh content to your site, that are relevant to your niche, you give them what they’ll need, to continue making more money, which is the important thing here, and often every other place too. Follow the money and you’ll will get the results, in one way or another.
By starting, adding unique content, on a daily basis, Google (and the other search engines as well) will find it out and since they are in constant need for sites like that, you will start notice some big changes in your rankings.
I have tried it out and it worked very well for me. I took a site that I haven’t touched for a while and that it didn’t get much attention from the search engines, what so ever. I started adding content to it every day and tracked its performance with Google Analytics. The first week, nothing much happened, more than that Google bot visited my site once and grabbed the index page. So, after the first week, none of my new pages where inside Google. However, the week after that, things started to move. Suddenly I noticed that I started to get traffic to one of my new pages and that they where also included in Google.
After three weeks, my new pages where included in Google just a couple of hours after I uploaded them, and I also started to receive traffic from Yahoo. Also, my rank for my main keyword phrase, went from nowhere to be found, to page 3 in Google and page 2 in Yahoo. The only thing, I did, was to add fresh unique content, nothing else. I didn’t use any ordinary or strange SEO technique, I even leaved out the meta tags, keyword and description. I just added fresh content, that was relevant to that site’s niche. I should also mention that I only used human generated content that I had produced myself, not some PLR or rewritten stuff.
It wasn’t harder than that, just keep adding more and more content to your site or blog and you will soon notice that your traffic stats will start grow and so will your CTR, too. Now, of course, if you have a site about MP3 players and start adding content about dating, chances are that your site will rank poorly for both niches. So keep it straight and simple, is my advice and don’t forget to use those SEO techniques that Google tells you to do.
To sum things up, give Google what it want and Google will give you what you want, the traffic!
