Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

Gain your position on the first page

If you are not on page one of a search term your chances of being read are not all that good.
In fact, over 80% never go past the first three items on the page.

Therefore knowing where you are is vitally important so that you can take the steps to fix any problems in your structure and keyword selection.

How do you earn the front spot with all that competition

This is a balance between Keyword research and the SEO rules dictated by Google and followed by all the others.
First of all, we have SEO tools that cover a lot of what you need to do. In WordPress both Yoast SEO and All in one SEO rank what you submit and offer ways to improve your page position.

They ask you to fix what you don't do so that you may get a better score.

SEO keyword ranker, its importance to you.

Why is SEO so important?

Google, the umpire, really likes you to follow the rules and ranks your site accordingly.
You can use all sorts of tools to see where you rank however they just tell you that the news is not good.

All SEO starts with you.

Using AH Refs or any planner post-writing will only highlight your mistakes. You need to make sure you have them correct so that you will rank.

Content is King. This is more so than ever and it must be relevant and written with authority therefore half baked sites simply get left behind.

You can not win page one on day one

I am sorry to tell you that grabbing a page one position takes time. You need some traffic and viewers so that you appear to be liked. Then we start the voyage up the ranking page by page till we get to page one.

However, it is often quicker on Bing and Yahoo where the competition is not as bad however they still have good search volume.

Keywords make the difference

Your Keyword or search term will make a large part of the search success.
There are two parameters that are important and they are;

  • Traffic
  • Competition

Of course, you must have traffic however too much makes life very difficult. We generally work around the rule of 100, that is at least 100 searches a month. Any more and it gets into the competitive arena.

Competition needs to rank at less than one hundred meaning that there are less than 100 exact match search terms.

Competition ranking
Here I have used a keyword tool called Jaaxy ( a link follows) to tell me both traffic at 152 a month and a competition score of nine which is very low.

I could have gone for a bit more traffic using a slightly different Keyword however the competition is far greater.

Generated words
More traffic but more competition

Analyzing your keywords provides opportunities

Keywords actually come before SEO because of their importance. If you get this wrong you are never going to rank. A place no one wants to be.

It is a fine balance juggling Keywords and SEO management.

Keyword tools are everywhere

Wealthy Affiliate has a free one, Jaaxy can be used, Ubersuggest is useful and in fact doing a Google search by typing in your keyword will give you a great idea of volume.
I recently did an article on free planners that will assist you.

You can use a Google planner by enrolling in Google and selecting an ad words planner however all the above ways will take you to the correct answer.

My wrap up

Keywords and SEO make a difference to your results, Get these right and your results will come but remember it won't be overnight. It takes a bit of time to gain respect.

Should you need some early traffic use Social Media, emails, Newsletters, or personal contacts to do the clicking.

It all helps.

There is a full free training course on this at Wealthy Affiliate should you need to pursue this further.
