Introduction
If you’ve got a blog, the first thing you want to do is make sure that people can find it. To do this, you need to make sure that your blog is getting indexed on Google and other search engines. Once it’s indexed, then people can find it when they search for things that are related to what you’re writing about! But sometimes your blog won’t rank even though it should be obvious if someone searched for something related to your subject matter. Here are some common reasons why this happens:
Your blog hasn’t been indexed.
This is a common problem, and you can fix it by making sure that your blog is listed in Google first. The best way to do this is to submit your website within Google Webmaster Tools, which will allow Google to know about your site and help them find it more easily when people search for information about it.
Your content isn’t as good as your competitors.
The best way to tell if your content is good is by seeing how well it’s doing in search engines. If the pages aren’t ranking, then you know there must be something wrong with them.
If you rank well for a keyword, chances are that means that people are searching for what your page has to offer and it also means that other sites competing against yours aren’t offering much better than you do.
The main reason why people don’t trust bloggers who say they can get their blogs on page 1 of Google within 1 week or even 5 months is because most of them don’t have any proof showing them how they were able to achieve this goal in such a short period of time.
You’re not using internal linking.
Internal linking is an important aspect of SEO. It refers to the links you use on your site to link between pages and posts, and it’s a ranking factor for Google. If you have internal links pointing at pages that aren’t optimized, then they won’t rank well. For example, if you want to rank for a keyword like “blue widgets” and your website has an article titled “Top 5 Blue Widgets in 2019″ but it doesn’t link back to that post when mentioning blue widgets in another post, then Google will penalize your entire site because they think it’s not relevant enough.
Your website has no links from other websites.
When you create a new website, the next thing that you need to do is to get some links from other websites. The more quality backlinks your site has, the better it will rank in Google. There are many ways of getting quality backlinks but if you want to see quick results then I recommend that you start with commenting on others blogs or forums. You just have to make sure that the comment is relevant and not spammy so that Google does not penalize your site for it.
You have broken backlinks on your blog.
By ‘broken’ we mean links that have been removed or redirected to another link. The problem with this is that Google will see the broken link as a 404 error and penalize you for it. To be fair, Google has become better at handling these issues and many of the penalties from broken backlinks have been lifted (and in some cases reversed), but it’s still best practice to fix your backlinks when they become broken!
You don’t have the right keywords in the right places.
If you are writing a blog, then you should make sure that the blogs are ranking on Google. There are several things that you can do to ensure this happens. One of the most important things is to use your keywords in the title, meta description and body of your blog.
Conclusion
To put it bluntly, if you want a better chance of ranking on Google and other search engines, you need to take the time to learn about SEO. There are plenty of great resources online for this purpose. A quick Google search will show you some great guides that will walk you through everything from keyword research to link building strategies—and everything in between!
