exactly how to rank your site in Google
step by step now I should warn you this
is an advanced SEO tutorial so if you
don't even know what SEO stands for this
video is not for you but if you want to
learn about advanced SEO strategies that
get results you're in the right place
in fact I've used the techniques from
this video to grow my organic traffic in
record time i'm brian dean the founder
of backlinko and in this video i'm going
to show you my step by step action plan
for hire Google ranking including lots
of real-life case studies stay tuned we
have a lot to cover in this video so
let's dive right in I launched my first
website way back in 2008 needless to say
SEO was a lot different back then back
in the day I'd spent hours looking for a
domain name that contained my target
keyword dog birthday cake recipes Dinah
is still available I'm going to be rich
today tricking Google with exact match
domains or phony backlinks simply
doesn't work so what does the strategy
is I'm going to share with you in this
SEO tutorial so without further ado
let's get started with step number one
first up let's boost your site's loading
speed
Google has publicly confirmed that they
use your site's loading speed as a
ranking factor and from my own
experiments I've discovered that site
speed does impact ranking but not in the
way you probably think most people think
that Google rewards you for having a
fast loading web site but that's simply
not true my SEO experiments have
revealed that Google doesn't reward fast
loading websites it penalize ha's slow
loading websites this makes sense if you
think about it Google's number one job
is to give their users the best result
for a given search and everyone and I
mean everyone hates slow loading web
site loading the page
[Music]
finally it loaded so if your site loads
slower than molasses yes Google is going
to demote you but once you hit a certain
threshold of speed you're on par with
most other pages on the internet so
Google doesn't see any reason to rank
you higher make sense good now it's time
to actually improve your site's loading
speed first head over to Google
PageSpeed insight enter a page from your
site here now as a pro tip don't
automatically put your homepage into
this field instead enter an internal
page from your site that gets a lot of
traffic like a blog post or article that
way you'll get info on a page that lots
of your visitors actually see next hit
analyze and Google will show you where
your pages code could use a tune-up
now Google's tool is helpful but it has
one big problem it doesn't measure sites
actual loading speeds seriously
instead Google PageSpeed insights simply
analyzes your pages code to get a more
accurate feel for how your site loads to
real-life users check out GT metrics com
GT metrics will show you data on how
your page actually loads to real-life
users which is a much more accurate
measurement of how your site speed
stacks up next up it's time to check on
your technical SEO here's the deal you
can have the best site with the best
content but if your website has serious
technical SEO issues you're not going to
rank
fortunately identifying and fixing these
sort of issues can be super easy here's
how to do it your first step is to log
in to your google search console account
pay special close attention to the crawl
error section if you see any issues with
DNS server connectivity or robots.txt
that's something you'll want to fix ASAP
but if they all show a green checkmark
you're all set next click on the crawl
errors button this will take you to the
URL error section of the search console
it's perfectly okay to have a few server
errors and 404 but if you see hundreds
of errors here this is something that
you want to fix ASAP moving right along
we have our third step in this SEO
tutorial with
keyword research here are three quick
techniques for finding awesome keywords
first up we have Google Suggest
to use it enter a keyword into Google
but don't press Enter Google will
suggest longtail keywords that you can
target and when Google actually suggests
a specific keyword to you you know that
it's a keyword that lots of people
search for you can also use the very
helpful
uber suggests tool to see hundreds of
these Google Suggest keywords in one
place now sometimes the best keyword is
a term that you already ranked for what
do I mean I'm talking about finding
untapped keywords in the Google search
console here's exactly how it's done
first log in to your google search
console account and click on search
analytics sort the results by position
then scroll down until you hit positions
11 through 15 these are keywords that
you're already ranking for on the second
page and with some extra on-page and
off-page SEO help you can get them to
the first page pretty darn quickly I'll
show you exactly how to do that later in
this video
our last keyword research technique is
to use SEM rush SEM rush is my favorite
keyword research tool here's why
with most keyword research tools you pop
a keyword into the tool and get a list
of suggestion but SEM rush is unique
instead of entering a seed keyword into
the tool you enter a competitor's
website and SEM rush shows you all the
keywords that they already ranked for
next up we have content development back
in the day Google would reward sites
that publish lots of unique quality
content that's why so many blogs started
pumping out mediocre 400 word blog posts
but the truth is this the whole
published lots of unique content
approach simply doesn't work anymore
today Google's number one goal is to
show their user the best result for a
given keyword which means they don't
care how many pieces of content your
site puts out or how often you publish
for example my site that Glinka com has
only 34 total posts and I rank for super
competitive keywords like keyword
research and SEO technique so publishing
lots of
unique content doesn't work what does
publishing less often but making each
piece of content that you do publish
absolutely crazy amazing here's how to
create crazy amazing content first make
your content insanely actionable a few
years ago dr. Jonah Berger from the
University of Pennsylvania ran a
research study to discover what made
online content go viral so what did he
find
dr. Berger discovered that highly
practical content was 34% more likely to
go viral big content that didn't contain
practical info for example my post 21
actionable SEO techniques you can use
right now contains 21 practical SEO tips
and this highly practical post has
generated thousands of social shares and
hundreds of backlinks this page also
ranks in the top three of google for the
keyword SEO techniques next you want to
make sure that your content is at least
one thousand eight hundred ninety words
long yes this might go against
conventional wisdom after all you may
have heard that people won't read
anything online that's more than 500
words but I have data to prove that this
simply isn't true in fact last year I
teamed up with a bunch of SEO software
companies to conduct the largest ranking
factor study ever in total we analyzed 1
million Google search results and we
discovered that longer content
significantly outperformed short blog
post in fact we found that the average
first page result in Google boasted 1890
words do you remember that SEO
techniques post that I mentioned earlier
in addition to being highly practical
the post is also super long in fact that
post is over 4,000 words next you want
to make infographics part of your
content marketing most similar did their
own study into what makes content go
viral and they discovered that
infographics get an average of two point
three times more shares than other
content formats I found the same thing
from my own experiment for example this
post on on-page SEO contains a big ol
infographic and that's one of the reason
that this piece of content gets shared
in link to like
easy speaking of on-page SEO now that
you've published an awesome piece of
long-form content it's time to optimize
it around your target keyword here's how
first make sure that you publish your
page on a short URL our ranking factor
study found that short urls tended to
outrank long URL for example my target
keyword for this page is SEO tool so I
made my url simply SEO - tool note that
my URL also contains my target keyword
this is also important for on-page SEO
next include your target keyword once
and the first 100 words of your article
why Google puts more weight on keywords
that appear at the top of your page so
to help Google understand what your page
is all about make sure to include your
keyword once in the first hundred words
of your page for example in my SEO tools
post you can see that I use my target
keyword right off the bat our last
on-page SEO tip is to add outbound links
to your page Google wants to see that
your content is a comprehensive resource
on that topic and that's only possible
if you link out to other helpful pieces
of content in fact a recent industry
study found that pages that link out
consistently outrank pages that don't
link out to other web sites okay so you
just published your in-depth keyword
optimized piece of content so you're all
set right wrong publishing now time to
chill oh crap I forget about link
building in many ways after you publish
a piece of content your job has just
begun that's because it's time for the
most important part of SEO cause that
promotion and link building there are a
thousand ways to build links to your
website so I'm going to share one of my
absolute favourites with you right now
broken link building here is the
three-step process step 1 find a page
you want to get a link from step to find
broken links on that page step 3
let the site owner know about their
broken link let's break it down your
first step is to find a page that you
want to get a link from this page should
be from a site in your niche that has
quite a few outbound links to
find pages with lots of external links
use search strings like keyword plus
helpful resources and keyword in URL
links this will bring up pages with lots
of external links next it's time to find
broken links on that page you can find
links that aren't working by installing
the free check my links extension for
Chrome then when you find a page with
lots of external links run check my link
it will reveal all the links on that
page that aren't working finally it's
time to let the site owner know about
their broken link and offer your content
as a replacement here's the exact script
to send hi name I was looking for some
information on topic today when I came
across your list of resources great
stuff I couldn't help but notice that
there was a broken link on the page I
just thought you'd like to know also I
recently published a guide on that topic
it might make a nice addition to your
page either way keep up the awesome work
and you're set last up I have a bonus
tip for you which is to optimize your
site around user experience signal in
2015 Google announced that they now use
a machine learning algorithm called
ranked brain even though Google has been
quiet about the details of exactly what
rank brain does Larry Kim for word
stream has discovered how rank brain
probably work according to his data rank
brain measures how users interact with
your site in Google search and ranks you
partially based on these user experience
signals for example Larry noticed a
clear correlation between organic
click-through rate and ranking
specifically he found that pages with a
high CTR tended to outrank pages with a
below average click-through rate in
other words rank brain probably measure
CTR and uses this data as a key ranking
factor Larry also discovered that pages
with a bounce rate below 76% tended to
rank best
that's because rank brain also looks at
how often people bounce from your site
obviously the lower your bounce rate the
better if you want to learn how to
improve your click-through rate check

how to prevent people from bouncing from
