Hi Matt

There is no harm in accepting guest posts on your blog if the content quality is really good. Avoid accepting guest posts from people who are coming to you just for the sake of backlink.

We have been using Yoast Premium version on BloggersPassion.com for a long time now. If you are asking me about its alternate, go for Rankmath. We recently started using it on our hosting project at https://hostingmonks.com/

Thanks

In one of the other comments, you also mentioned that WordPress SEO by Yoast is by far the best plugin for optimization. I was getting a bit sick of Yoast and I swapped to The SEO Framework. Do you have experience with any of the yoast alternatives?

I love to write and honestly speaking, being inspired from your post I regularly write on my personal site. Good news is, my site improving day by day. And I am really happy with the progress.

Thanks a lot for sharing all the real information. 🙂

the whole post is awesome but i am confused in one point that is “Google loves WordPress sites”

Is it true?? because I have seen various blogger sites that are ranking on top of Google. They are beating WordPress sites with the content and even I have a blog that is hosted on blogger and it is ranking on top of Google.

so i don’t think google loves only WordPress sites.

Content and user experience is the thing for which google is more concerned.

please let me know your views regarding this.

Cheers,

I also have a question. How do you manage to write continuously and build link on it. Do you try to make backlinks in every blog post. Writing blogs, promoting it on different platforms and building backlinks can be difficult if someone is publishing 2-3 blog post every week. How do you do this? What your strategy. This can also be a great post idea.

Anyhow, this post is excellent, and everyone should read it carefully in order to increase their website’s traffic.

Hi John, yes, you can rank without backlinks. The key here is to find extremely low competitive keywords and write the best content. But if you want to sustain the rankings for a long time, backlinks can help you.

Hi Nirmala, glad to see you here. Yes, increasing search traffic to your sites is an art which comes with experience. If you’re not creating the right content, Google won’t show any mercy. You’ll need to be consistent, find and use the right keywords, build links and so on to be able to get more organic traffic.

Hi Naveen, glad you found it useful. Yes, WordPress definitely helps if you want to increase your website’s search traffic. Not only that, it gives you so many options like plugins, themes, tools and so on. WordPress SEO by yoast is by far the best plugin for optimizing your posts to get more traffic from search engines.

There are no particular reasons. But as far as I know WordPress comes with out of the box SEO options and also there are a ton of plugins you can use to get more SEO juice (when compared to Blogger platform).

That’s a great recommendation Rakesh!

Hi Rajesh, yes driving traffic to any blog isn’t easy. You need to do a lot of things like building links, doing SEO, finding keywords and so on but it’s all worth in the end when you start getting traffic.

There are no particular rules. You need to pick few blogs which are relevant to your blog topics and network with the bloggers even before you start pitching. You can tweet their stuff, comment or link to their stuff and so on.

Instead of that i would recommend all your readers to use related post feature of jetpack.

Thanks for this wonderful article 🙂

Thanks for this awesome post. WordPress really play a major role to make you a pro blogger because it has so many inbuilt seo tools as you mentioned in your post that helps you to optimize article and page and make your website more user friendly as well as search engine friendly.
The other thing, wordpress has so many themes that make your blog neat and clean which attracts more readers to you.
We can use mailchimp etc pluging to distribute your post directly. So it also reduce headach of sending your post through email.

I am a big fan of WordPress but due to some reason I am still using blogger, but in this year I will change it to wordpress.

Thanks again for this motivative post.

Hi Amar,

If you perform guest blogging for SEO purpose, it would not work. But, if you do the same to network with other bloggers, increase exposure, gain credibility and grab new readers, it will certainly work. Am I right Anil?

Hi Amaar,

Guest posting works still bro, but you need to find the right blog for gust posting.

Hi Anil,

If you use Jetpack by WordPress plugin, there is no need to use nRelate thumbnails. jetpack also has that feature.

Getting organic traffic is an art. Yes! if we don’t use the KWs, we can’t drive visitors through search engines. If we over do SEO, we’ll get penalized. So, it is more essential to naturally integrate the KWS in the blog posts.

I feel good that I’m following most of the ways which you’ve listed here to get search engine traffic and will implement the missed tips. Good that I’ve read this helpful post on the New Year day 🙂

Happy New Year, Happy Blogging 🙂
