Analyzing Results of SEO Activities

Posted on by 4ster

It is time to check for the results of SEO activities of my blogs. Probably you were curious, why I chose the almost misleading title How to Ruin Someone’s Life or Business for one of my blogs. The reason for it was some considerations about the search engine optimization (SEO) for this blog. First I was checking the most frequently used keywords in my initial text. I found out that

  • business,
  • competition, and
  • damage

were the most frequently used ones. So I put them in Google Ads keyword planner and played around with some phrases that contained these words.

One suggested phase was: “How to Ruin Someone’s Life”. It is getting searched between 1.000 and 10.000 times a month and has low competition. Further, I considered this issue as controversial enough, that it has the chance to go viral. And many people will read it. And – hopefully – benefit from it. So without doing anything bad to the competition, I implemented both of my ideas from my thinking time in this blog.

Three months after publishing this blog, I analyzed with Google Webmaster Tools the results of SEO activities. So I can find out, which of my pages and blogs are appearing the most frequently in the google search results.

And in the results of SEO activities, it turned out, that the blog How to Ruin Someone’s Life or Business appeared most frequently! It also had a relatively high click rate of more than 5%.

Then I switched to Google Analytics to dig some deeper into the results of SEO activities. Plus I learned that the visitors of this blog stayed about 6 minutes on average. This is about 78% above the average time of the entire webpage. This easily lasts, to read all of it.

But Google Analytics also shows, that almost all visitors left my blog after reading it, without referring to any other page. This means, I am losing nearly all of the traffic, this blog creates. So, I learned that I need to make the text more appealing to make them curious and keep on reading. And that I need to offer more value for the visitors of the blog, by adding links to other related issues on my webpage.

    •  …
  • I am not using anymore the following, because it had no impact

  • In the control center of your hosting provider, you can define the subdomains. I kept using this to link to the book “Networking at Dream Beaches” and shared this link often on social media. If I am creating a new page, I just redirect this link to the new page and it has many inbound links right after publishing.

  2. vitamin 9
  3. vitamins minerals 8
  4. vitamins 8
  5. minerals 8
  6. lack 6
  7. nutrition 5
  8. quality 5

  • Find based on the most frequently used words a good title with low competition in search engines using GoogleAds Keyword Planner. Enter an initial headline and try a combination of the most frequently used keywords in your text.

  • Sort the results for the highest number of search requests.

  • I found out that the term: “minerals in food” got 10,000 – 100,000 requests on Google per month. Also, it has low competition. And that I can get listed in Google AdWords for just 1 cent per click on the first page.

  • Rephrase the title of the page accordingly. So I changed it to “Low Minerals in Food”.

  • Change the name of the URL that it matches the keyword I chose for the search engines. In my example, I changed it to minerals-in-food.

  • Increase Keyword Density by adding the keyword in the text, where ever it fits. You should use it about once within every 50 – 200 words.

  • Add subtitles and reuse the keyword in the headlines

  • Add pictures and give them alt-attributes, those are containing the keyword.

  • Check the keywords density again using a keyword density analysis tool of Smallseotools.

  • After the On-Site Optimization it showed the following result:
    #Term, Count, Density, Prominence

  1. minerals in food, 12, 1.13 %, 100 %
  2. vitamins and minerals, 5, 0.47 %, 100 %

  • Improve SEO according to YEAST plugin for WordPress
