My blog, Learn to Trade in Stocks -, is stuck on about the 2nd or 3rd page of Google for around 20 keywords. I only get about 5 organic visitors a day. I have used the Hoth Blitz package, and that worked for about two weeks ($250 wasted). Can someone please guide me on what I need to do to rank better? I usually post at least once a week with quality content with about 500 words and a picture.

    frankly i don't see any quality content in your blog. Maximum content is upto 400-500 words with some random text which is not useful for end user.

    Analyze why other websites are ranking in the top?

    Check their content
    Check their social sharings & authority
    Check their on page details and also have a look at moz metrics

      I agree, good articles are 1000 words and up and are broken up using headings and quality pictures.

        Absolutely. Though i would like to make a point here, though you write upto 1000 words article and what if it doesn't answers visitors answer, then its just a plain text without any use.

        I would say, write one blog post for 15 days or one month, but make sure it helps your visitors to get something from that blog post.

          Thanks Guys!

          Great advice. My content has been crappy I agree. I just plugged keywords in and tried to get to 300 words. I'm really knowledgeable about my niche (it's how I pay my bills), so I just need to dedicate my time and write good content.

          Also, I have improved my Google speed test score on mobile to a 77. Still weak, but I'm still having the above the fold content problem...

          Last, someone mentioned I may need to buy links. If so, where do you recommend getting links from?

          Since I have improve my speed score, I have seen a boost in rankings the past 7 days. I have also averaged $0.50 a day revenue, which is unheard-of for me.

          Again, thanks for all the suggestions!

    Clicked to couple of articles, and decided I've seen enough. The carrying of the topic and thinking is just childish. Why would you write about retirements at all if you don't even have any idea on what you'd like to say? You said absolutely nothing worthwhile about selling life insurances.

    This is a problem. There's a lot of content on similar topics that's actually insightful and thought-provoking. In addition you're in a competitive niche that has all sorts of big players and scams such as betting on stocks.

    Not that many backlinks, but the backlink profile isn't bad.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    First of all the design of your website sucks. It looks awful and not very eye pleasing. The first thing I would do is to wok on the look and feel of your site. People like blogs that are easy to read and nice to look at. Make your menus a bit shorter so that they fit in one row.

    Secondly, dont just write article that come to mind. Try to do some research on keywords in your niche that have high search volume and write article around those words using different variations and similar words.

    Try to find articles in your niche that have allot of back links and write similar but better articles. Reach out to the people who link to those popular articles and inform them of your content.

    Also try to write articles with lists like top 10.... 7 ways to......8 best ways to....

    Just writing good articles alone wont get you on the first page of google. You need to build authority to them by creating back links.

    You can do this by finding similar blogs and leaving comments and writing geust posts.

    The more good sources you have that link back to your blog the better it wil rank.

    You have poor on-page SEO. There are many tips on how to create good on-page SEO in the youtube section. Go through them first. And definitely review all your contents. Get writers if you are unsure how to write good content around 1000 words or more.

    Start (if you have the budget) with buying some targeted PPC. Social media like Facebook works best. Small budgets like $10-15 a day for maybe 1 month and try sending to those opt-in with good quality info every 2-3 days.

    When they like your page or share your page, their friends will be able to view and like your page too. Easy organic traffic via social media.

    Try to improve your content length and add more value on it by researching your competitors! And, it is a good idea to choose low competitive keyword but has more search volume monthly and optimize content with proper SEO.

    I have ranked about 4 keywords in last month having 400-680 searches monthly on each keywords! And getting good amounts of traffic daily.

    Strategy is- I i selected low competitive keywords and created high quality content about 1100-1300 words on each article.

    Good luck!

    Your site need a very good on-page optimization. After on-page optimization you will focus on your off-page optimization.

    There are lots of good off-page optimization suggestions listed in previous comments. You can apply those.

    One most important thing is your site need some good quality content. Good quality means not only big articles like 750 words or 1500 words, but article with decent length and helpful informations for your readers.

      Alright guys, I have done some work to the site. I deleted most of the crap content and slowly replacing it with >1000 word posts that are unique and informative.

      What are Stocks - Trading Wall Street

      I have improved the speed, but my desktop Google speed is still 77 due to the render blocking issue.

      The theme I am using is Schema from MyThemeShop. As far as layout, is there anything in particular I can do to improve usability?

      Any other help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for everyone's input!

    My site now gets about 50 organic visitors a day, and the bounce rate is very low. I rank #1 for a keyword and get about 85% of my visitors to that page. I have fixed some redirection issues, and have notice a huge difference.

  • To rank better, you need to first optimize your website for your targeted keywords, and then build high quality, dofollow backlinks to your site. The backlinks should be placed on pages/domains which have high PA (Page Authority)/High DA (domain authority). They should also be contextual and relevant.
