I\u2019m going to make a bet with you that if you follow the 3 steps below, and you really follow them, you can get 10,000 visitors from Google. I promise it won\u2019t be hard, but it will take time. And if you follow my steps and don\u2019t get the results, hit me up and I will personally help you with your marketing. All I ask is you do it for 3 months straight. You may not get to 10,000 visitors from Google in 3 months as some niches are really tiny, but most of you should get there or be well on your way. Again, if you prove to me that you followed everything below and you don\u2019t achieve the results, you can get in touch and I will personally help you with your marketing for free.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ready?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Step #1: Finding the right keywords<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you pick the wrong keywords, you\u2019ll find yourself with little to no traffic and, even worse, you\u2019ll find yourself with little to no sales.<\/p>\n<p>So, before we get you on your way to more search traffic,<br \/>\nlet\u2019s find you the right keywords.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to head to <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/ubersuggest\/\">Ubersuggest<\/a> and type in your<br \/>\ncompetitor\u2019s domain name.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ubersuggesthome.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ubersuggesthome.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Now, I want you to click on the \u201cKeywords\u201d navigational<br \/>\noption in the sidebar.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/keywordsnav.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/keywordsnav.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>This report will show you all of the keywords that your competition is ranking for.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/domainkeywords.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/domainkeywords.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>If you don\u2019t see a list of thousands of keywords, that means you didn\u2019t type in a big enough competitor. And if you don\u2019t know who a big competitor is, just do a Google search for any major term related to your industry. The sites at the top are your major competitors.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to go through the list of keywords and look for all of the keywords that are related to your business and have an SEO Difficulty (SD) score of 40 or less. The higher the number, the harder the keyword is to rank for. The lower the number, the easier it is to rank for.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to an SD score of 40 or lower, I want you to look for keywords that have a volume of 500 or more.<\/p>\n<p>Volume means the number of people that search for the keyword on a monthly basis. The higher the number, the more potential visitors that term will drive once you rank for it.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, I want you to click on \u201cTop Pages\u201d in the<br \/>\nnavigation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/toppagesnav.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/toppagesnav.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>This will bring you to a report that looks like this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/toppages-1.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/toppages-1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>This report shows you the most popular pages on your competitor\u2019s site. Now, under the Est. Visits (Estimated Visits) column, I want you to click on \u201cview all\u201d for the first few results. Every time you do that it shows you all of the keywords that drive traffic to that page.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/toppagesviewall.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/toppagesviewall.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Just like you did with the keywords report, I want you to look at the keywords that have an SD of 40 or lower and a volume of 500 or more. The one difference though, is that I want you to check out some of the URLs on the Top Pages report. Click on over to the site so you can see the type of content they are writing. This is important because it will give you an idea of the types of content that Google likes to rank. When you create similar pages (I will teach you how to do this shortly), it will allow you to get similar results to your competition over time. Now that you have a handful of keywords, I want you to expand the list and find other related keywords.<\/p>\n<p>In the navigation menu, click on \u201cKeyword Ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/keywordideasnav.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"209\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/keywordideasnav.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"209\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>When you type in one of the keywords you are thinking of going after in this report, it will give you a big list of other similar keywords.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideassuggestions.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideassuggestions.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>This is important because it will show you all of the<br \/>\nclosely related terms.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you came up with a list of keywords of a handful of keywords, such as:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Dog food<\/li>\n<li>Cat food<\/li>\n<li>Dog bed<\/li>\n<li>How to clean your cat<\/li>\n<li>What do birds eat<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can\u2019t just take all of those keywords and write one article and shove all the keywords in because they aren\u2019t similar to each other. Someone looking for \u201cdog beds\u201d is probably not interested in reading about what birds eat. So by typing in a keyword into the Keyword Ideas report, it will show you all of the other similar keywords that you can include in a single article. When you are on the Keyword Ideas report you\u2019ll notice some tabs: Suggestions, Related, Questions, Prepositions, and Comparisons. I want you to go through each of those tabs. They will show you a different group of similar keywords that you may be able to include in your article (we will go over how to write the article in step 2).<\/p>\n<p>Just take a look at the Questions tab:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideasquestions.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideasquestions.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>You can see the keywords are drastically different than the Related tab:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideasrelated.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideasrelated.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Again, you\u2019ll want to look for all keywords that have an SD score of 40 or lower. But this report looks for keywords that have a volume above 200. I know 200 may seem like a small number, but if you find 100 good keywords that all have a volume of 200 or more, that adds up to 20,000 potential visitors per month. Or better yet, 240,000 per year. Now it\u2019s rare that you are going to get all of those people to come to your site, but you can get a portion of them. Even 10% would add up\u2026 especially if you did this with a handful of articles. Your goal should be to have a list of at least 100 keywords that are very similar. You\u2019ll want to do this at least five times. For example, remember that list of five keywords I mentioned above wasn\u2019t too similar to each other\u2026<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Dog food<\/li>\n<li>Cat food<\/li>\n<li>Dog bed<\/li>\n<li>How to clean your cat<\/li>\n<li>What do birds eat<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to make sure that for each main keyword you use the Keyword Ideas report to find another 100 that can accompany each keyword.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Step #2: Write content<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At this point, you should have a list of keywords. If your list of keywords isn\u2019t at least 100 keywords per group, go back to step 1 and keep at it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that hard to get to 100 similar keywords that you can include in one article. It just takes some time to continually search and find them.<\/p>\n<p>In general, as a rule of thumb, I can find 100 keywords in<br \/>\nless than 8 minutes. It may take you a bit longer than me at first, but once<br \/>\nyou get the hang of it, it\u2019ll be easy.<\/p>\n<p>With your newly found keywords, I want you to write an article.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/how-to-write-blog-post\/\">tutorial step-by-step<\/a> to write your first article.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you prefer a video tutorial, watch this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Write a Blog Post From Start to Finish | Neil Patel\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q8rN3JKqUc8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Write a Blog Post From Start to Finish | Neil Patel\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q8rN3JKqUc8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>As for your keywords, naturally place them into the article when it makes sense. What you\u2019ll quickly learn is that you probably won\u2019t be able to \u201cnaturally\u201d include all 100 keywords within your article. And that\u2019s fine. The last thing you want to do is stuff in keywords because you aren\u2019t writing this article for just search engines, you are writing it for people\u2026 and the secondary benefit is that search engines will rank it because it contains the right keywords. Before you make your article live on your site, I want you to keep a few things in mind:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Keep your URLs short<\/strong> \u2013 Google prefers shorter URLs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include your main keyword in your headline<\/strong> \u2013 by having your main keyword in your headline, you\u2019ll be more likely to rank higher.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include your three main keywords in your meta tags<\/strong> \u2013 whether it is your title tag or meta description, include at least three main keywords in them. You won\u2019t fit as many in your title tag, and that\u2019s fine, but you should be able to within your meta description tag.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are a lot of other things you can do to optimize your articles for SEO, but my goal is to keep this simple. Again, if you just follow these three steps, you\u2019ll hit the 10,000-visitor mark. So, for now, let\u2019s just keep things simple and once you hit your goal, then you can get into the advanced stuff.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Step #3: Promoting your content<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Writing content is only half the battle. Even if you include the right keywords in your article, if you don\u2019t promote, it\u2019s unlikely that it would be read or rank on Google. So how do you make sure your content is read and ranks well? Well, first you need to get social shares, and second, you need to get <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/backlinks\/\">backlinks<\/a>. Yes, search engines don\u2019t necessarily rank pages higher when they get more Facebook shares or tweets, but the more eyeballs that see your page the more likely you are to get backlinks. And the more backlinks you get, generally, the higher you will rank.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s how you get social shares\u2026 First, I want you to go to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search\/\">Twitter<\/a> and search for keywords related<br \/>\nto your article.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/twittersearch.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/twittersearch.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>As you scroll down, you\u2019ll see thousands of people tweeting about stuff related to your keywords. Some of them will just be general updates but look for the members sharing articles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tweet1.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tweet1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>And\u2026<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tweet2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tweet2.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Now what I want you to do is click on their profile and see if they mention their contact information or their website. If they mention their email you are good to go. If they mention their website, head to it, and try to find their contact information. You won\u2019t be able to find everyone\u2019s contact information, but for the people you do, I want you to send them this email:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Subject:<\/strong> [insert the keyword you searched for on Twitter]<\/p>\n<p>Hey [insert their first name],<\/p>\n<p>I saw that you tweeted out [insert the title of the article they tweeted]. I actually have an article that I recently released on that subject.<\/p>\n<p>But mine covers [talk about what your article covers and how it is unique].<\/p>\n<p>[insert link to your article]<\/p>\n<p>If you like it, feel free to share it.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>[insert your name]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>PS:<\/strong> Let me know if you want me to share anything for you on Twitter or any other social network.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What you\u2019ll find is a large percentage of the people will be willing to share your content because they already are sharing related content and, of course, you offered to share their content, which helps out too.<\/p>\n<p>If you send out 30 to 40 emails like this, you\u2019ll start getting traction on the social web. Now that you have social shares, it\u2019s time to <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/9-link-building-resources-thatll-increase-your-search-rankings\/\">build backlinks<\/a>. Instead of giving you tons of link building methods as there are many that work, I am just going to start you off with one that works very well. I want you to head back to the Keyword Ideas report on Ubersuggest.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/keywordideasnav.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/keywordideasnav.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Once you get there, type in some of the keywords that you are trying to go after.<\/p>\n<p>On the right side of the report, you\u2019ll see a list of sites that rank and the number of backlinks that each of the ranking URLs has.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideasrank.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ideasrank.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Click on the \u201cLinks\u201d number. For each result, it will take you to the Backlinks report, which looks something like this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/linkscount.png\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/linkscount.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>This will give you a list of all the sites linking to your<br \/>\ncompetitor\u2019s article.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to go to each of those URLs, find the site owner\u2019s contact information, and shoot them an email that looks like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Subject:<\/strong> [name of their website]<\/p>\n<p>Hey [insert their name],<\/p>\n<p>I noticed something off with your website.<\/p>\n<p>You linked to [insert your competitor that they linked to] on this page [insert the page on their site that they are linking to them from].<\/p>\n<p>Now you may not see anything wrong with that, but the article you linked to isn\u2019t helping out your website readers that much because it doesn\u2019t cover:<\/p>\n<p>[insert a few bullet points on how your article is better and different]<\/p>\n<p>You should check out [insert your article] because it will provide a better experience for your readers.<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoyed it, feel free to link to it.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>[insert your name]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>PS:<\/strong> If I can ever do anything to help you out, please let me know.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I want you to send out 100 of those emails for each article you write.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it takes work to get 10,000 visitors but once you do it you\u2019ll continually generate traffic and, more importantly, sales. To achieve 10,000 visitors, I want you to do the steps above five times. In other words, you will be writing five pieces of new content following the steps above. It\u2019s actually not that bad because you can just do 1 a week. So, within 5 weeks you would have done your job.<\/p>\n<p><em>So, are you going to accept the challenge?
