Beginner’s Guide to Compete with any Niche Website!

Do you have any idea how things work in blogging? Do you believe you can compete with any niche website if needed to? If you can`t, then you`ve come to the right place. Here`s the beginner`s guide to compete with any niche website explaining everything you need to know!

Understand how Google Works

Google`s general purpose is to show high quality and relevant results based on what was typed in the search bar. It may sound, but it’s not an easy nut to crack! So if someone pops up and searches “what`s a blog”, how do you expect Google to know which website should be ranked where? The main reason for that is there are millions of websites based on blogging. The on page factors are title of the post, grammar, keywords and similarity to the search query. The off page factors are links, social factors such as sharing/popularity and the overall authority of who is linking or talking about it! So fasten your seat belt boys because this is going to be a long haul!

Natural and Paid Outcomes

Google shows 10 natural results per page. The natural result is the one which was never paid for. Therefore, if your website is the most relevant and of exceptional quality, chances are you will be ranked right at the top for free of cost! But, there are a few paid results, they usually show up on the top of search results or/and on the right column of the result page.

The role of Keyword`s Relevancy

Technically speaking, you shouldn`t expect to rank higher if you didn`t care to mention the relative keywords in your post. Sounds fair enough? The page which talks about “how to blog” will easily rank higher compared to a website which is based on “fishing tips” while the search query was related to blogging! Therefore, you need to mention at least one keyword in your article if you want to rank better.

Pay attention to Link Building

What exactly is a backlink? The backlink is basically a Hyperlink to another webpage or website. These are the Google`s way of knowing what`s going on and what`s important. The more votes, or links a website has, the higher it`ll rank! Links from authoritative websites are far more valuable. For instance, a link from CNN is far more valuable and prolific as compared to a link from a small time blog. Got my point?

Learn what`s Page and Domain Authority!

Page Authority and Domain Authority are terms to scale out the authoritativeness of a web page or a website.  These are almost the same as getting a link from CNN rather than a private blog. If you can get your hands on a link from well reputed authority page, it’ll boost your ranking. These measures are important to figure out which keywords you should rank for! For instance, keywords related to “business ideas” certainly have lots of web pages having the keyword in its title, but in addition of web pages or domain authority which makes it quiet a difficult keyword to rank for. So always keep your options open!
