Almost all SEO techniques are over-blown. There is only one key principle, and that is you must write helpful content. That’s what searchers are seeking and that’s what Google wants to provide.
Google is a giant spy company. They have captured content from around the world. They know all about you as an individual. Their networks allow them to display advertising on products and services you have searched no matter what site you’re on. Their information gathering techniques are massively complex.
So, do you really think you need to supply keywords so the Google spider knows what your content is about? Nonsense.
The key is the content itself. Bloggers must write long-form articles (1,500–2,500 words each) that solve a problem or provide entertainment in a creative and interesting way. The length and quality of the article is the only important metric. People share such articles and you’ll get natural backlinks, which is the second most important metric. When Google sees that others agree that your post has significance, they’ll boost it in the rankings.
Doing SEO optimization has become a profitable industry for many. But it’s nothing more than voodoo in most cases. A long, well-written, problem-solving post will climb to the top of the rankings because that’s what readers and Google want. It may take some time (weeks or months) as the Google algorithm plays out, but you’ll eventually become king of the mountain with top 10 Google rankings.
