So, keep posting new content, guys. Hope you will find these tips useful

Have you ever wonder why your post won’t appear in search engine for some topic you write about? Well, I can said more than 50% of my posts are not well listed on 1st page of Google search engine. Some post even can’t list on page 5 for SERP onwards.

There are factors to boost your website traffic but you must make sure your keywords are not too competitive. Otherwise, you will need more hard work to bring up the keyword in search engine ranking by consistent posting of the similar keywords that you are going to dominate. You won’t see the real traffic coming from search engine until at a stage where your keywords had started to get dominate.

There are other ways which you can diversify the keywords into varieties of topics such as writing different niche. These possibly can work out and easily can see the result from a new blog. Because you don’t need to compete with other bigger blog to get traffic from search engine. The drawback is that you can’t increase traffic much until you have started to dominate a certain keyword and keep a consistency of posting with these keywords. You will end up using a lot of time to do research on the new keywords also. The tricks is to find a topic less talk about by other blogger but the topic must has potential to become popular a keyword search by user in the future. Sounds difficult, huh?

Honestly, I don’t really concentrate on certain keywords in my blog. Maybe that is the reason my traffic is still low and doesn’t match my expectation. Well, I guess I will be having more sleepless night now and must work hard to achieve my expectation.

How about you guys? Do you build your empire of certain keywords already?
