Look, You’re probably like, “Neil, you blog about SEO, you have an SEO tool called Ubersuggest, what could be better than SEO?” Well, there’s a ton of things better than SEO, and you can probably name tons of them, Even though I’m addicted to it, and generally, I’m just addicted to digital marketing.

But even though I blog about SEO, and I believe in it because it produces such amazing results and you can create literally a hundred million plus, even billion dollar companies just through SEO. You’re probably wondering, “Neil, what is it that you… Works way better than SEO?”

I want you to check out something on my website, and I mentioned it in this video, it’s called Ubersuggest. Neilpatel.com/ubersuggest. And it’s a tool, you can put in your domain name, and it gets keywords, shows you, you know, what keywords your domain ranks for, your competitors rank for. Even tells you what keywords your competitors rank for that you don’t. It’ll even tell you how many people link to you, or even tell you how much traffic you’re getting or estimate that. It’ll even tell you new keyword opportunities, and you can do keyword research or content research. It even tells you what errors you have on your website.

So how is this better than SEO? Do you want to know what drives more traffic than anything else? Take a guess. Ubersuggest. Did you know, over 400,000 people a month find my website by just either typing in the keyword Ubersuggest, or going directly to my domain.

On the flip side, less than 100,000 people a month find my domain by typing in, Neil Patel. So what does this tell you? Tools are more powerful, tools work better than content, tools build more links than manually reaching out.

When I created a free tool, Ubersuggest, and I just kept releasing more and more features for free. Sure, there’s paid features as well, but the majority of the app is for free. Did you know I generated over 10,000 backlinks, and I didn’t really have to do anything, just kept improving the product. See, with my content, I had to keep trying to come up with new content that’s fresh, that no one’s ever talked about. With my old content, I had to keep updating and spending money on it. With the tool, it keeps generating goodwill traffic conversions without me putting in as much effort.

Now granted, upfront cost may be more, and in a bit, I’m going to teach you how to do it with actually less upfront cost than content, but it’s well worth it. And when I look at my ad agency, NP Digital… If you haven’t checked out, we help companies of all sizes grow their traffic.

If you look at NP Digital, over 40% of our customers are coming from Ubersuggest. That’s the power of the tool, that’s what you can’t take for granted. So what I want you to do, is go and create a tool for free and put it on your website. You can go find developers on Upwork, Toptal. And if you can’t find people at any of these places, what I want you to do is go to Codecanyon. Codecanyon is a site where there’s tools on everything.

You’re in the auto industry, there’s a tool for that. You’re in the mortgage industry, there’s a tool for that. You’re in the hair salon industry, there’s a tool for that. They literally have tools on everything.

So what I want you to do, is go to the site, check out one of the tools. I’m not affiliated with them. And you can get some of these tools for $5, $10, $20, 50 bucks. Usually, it’s rare to find a tool on Codecanyon for over 50 bucks. And pop it on your website, white label it, and then boom.

Over time, you’ll find that the tool generates more traffic, more backlinks, and it helps you generate more SEO traffic without really doing SEO.

A Dead Simple SEO Strategy That’ll Generate 1 Million Visitors

by

SEO is super competitive. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was just a strategy that worked, and that wasn’t as competitive, and didn’t take as long to get results? Today, I’m going to break down a super, dead simple SEO strategy that can get you a million visitors a month.

RESOURCES & LINKS:
____________________________________________
Quora: https://www.quora.com/
Ubersuggest: https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/
____________________________________________

So the first thing I want you to do is head to Ubersuggest you go to ubersugggest.com or neilpatel.com/ubersuggest. And I want you to type in quora.com. You know Quora as that question and answer site. If you look here, this is Quora’s traffic, this is their SEO traffic.

Look, how many visitors they are getting, it’s just crazy, right? Now this is the estimation, but still they’re in the, well into the millions of visitors a month, if not hundreds of millions.

They’re ranked for literally millions and millions of keywords. And if you look, you can see a lot of the keywords are ranking for. You know, they ranked for 27.7 million keywords between the position 51 and a 100.

So what’s their strategy? Well, look at this. What are good ways to log out of Facebook? What is the correct, thank you, or thank you, or thanks you, or thank you? What is Delta S in chemistry, and what is the difference?

Quora’s on everything. So you’re not going to get as much traffic as them and that’s okay. But how do you find questions in your space? Well, I want you to type in keywords related to your space. Let’s say you’re in marketing.

Now you just type in the keyword marketing within Ubersuggest. And then I want you to click on questions. These are all the keywords that are popular in your space.

Some of these get searched a lot, some get searched a little. And a lot of them aren’t competitive, as you can see, here’s the SEO difficulty, how competitive it is to rank on Google? Green means easy.

I want to talk about Instagram because a lot of marketers want to leverage Instagram. So I would type in Instagram, into Ubersuggest, and again it’ll tell me all the keywords related to Instagram, and then I would click on questions again.

And this is assuming you’re on the keyword ideas report, right, that’s the key. And if you go to this, here for Instagram. All questions that you can end up breaking down and create article related to any of the questions that are within your space that have a low SEO difficulty, high volume and high CPC. High CPC usually means that traffic somewhat valuable.

Eventually you can cause it to convert. Even if that question article’s not, you know, selling anything, you can bring people to your website remarket them, or then drive them in a funnel, collect their email, promote through other stuff. And SEO difficulty. Again, as long as it’s easy, the volume’s decent, you should do it, and you can do it on anything.

And if you do this and then collect emails from those pages you can eventually sell your products and services from those articles. You can put up ad, you know, make money through ads, and have AdSense, or affiliate stuff, all ways to do really well.

But the key is, is you just got to go and create content around questions because the one thing that’s consistent is mostly keywords that are around questions are not competitive.

And by doing that, you’re going to end up generating revenue and getting traffic and ranking higher on Google with much less effort because terms aren’t that competitive.

Yeah, one page, isn’t going to drive you 20,000 visitors a month, but if you had a 100 pages that each drive you a 1000 visitors a month, that’s a 100,000 visitors a month.

That’s 1.2 million visitors a month.

That’s a lot of traffic.

How to Grow Your SEO Traffic by Updating Your Old Content

by

You write all this amazing content, and after putting in months and months of hard work, you start getting rankings, but then you fast forward a year. A year later, what happens? Your traffic starts going down. Today I’m going to teach you how to grow your SEO traffic by updating your old content.

RESOURCES & LINKS:

Ubersuggest: https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/
____________________________________________

With all the content out there, Google is going to rank the content that doesn’t just have the most links or the best on-page SEO. More importantly, they’re going to rank the content that has the best user experience. And usually that means that’s the content that is fresh, up to date and the most relevant. With one of my earlier websites, Nutritionsecrets I no longer own it. I was able to build up literally over 100,000 visitors a month.

And the main strategy that I use wasn’t just cranking out new content, it was continually updating and expanding my old articles to get them more and more traffic.

So how do you go and update your old content and figure out which pieces to update? Which ones not to update? And heck how do you know what parts to update and how it works? Do you just add a sentence? Do you add in paragraphs? Do you add in more images, videos? Well, I’m going to walk you through that right now step-by-step.

The first thing I want you to do is to log into Google Search Console. And when you log in, you go to your website, I want you to click that on the pages link. You’ll see that, right? It’s already highlighted here under or right next to the queries.

The next thing I want you to do is adjust your date range. And you’re already on the pages section of Google Search Console, and I want you to sort by the last 28 days over the previous year. And when you do that, it’ll show you the articles that were the most popular to least popular in the previous year.

Now, going through that list, what you want to do is look for the posts that have lost traffic.

So there’s quite a few terms that I was getting more traffic from. So what you’ll want to do is start Googling those terms to see who’s ranking above you.

So let’s Google schema markup. As you can see, there’s an article by Moz, there’s an article by Search Engine Journal, then there’s Schema.org. And what you’ll want to do is click on each of those articles and analyze them and say, “Huh, what did they have that I don’t? What is making their article better than mine?” And you want to take that information for all the sites that rank above you, and then you’re going to want to modify your content. And you do this by making yours better than there’s.

You also want to delete anything that’s irrelevant. If something doesn’t make sense anymore, delete it.

When you update the article, I want you to also update the publish by date, so searching engines know it’s updated. And don’t just think about word count, think about user experience. You need to do what’s best for the user and not obsess or worry about word count.

And lastly, I recommend that you don’t change your URL. If you want to change your URL, that’s fine but just 301 redirect the old URL to the new one. And once you update it, go back into Search Console, type in your URL in the search bar at the top, it’ll start fetching the page and then boom, request it for indexing, and then you’re off into the races and within 30 days you should start seeing increase in SEO traffic to that page. It literally is that simple.
