video i'm going to teach you about my biggest seo mistake so that you can save the months of hard
work time and frustration that i wasted along the way learning about search engine optimization
so let's just jump straight in but if you haven't already please make sure you subscribe so that you
can get more seo videos to teach you how to make more money of your website and get more traffic
so let me tell you about my biggest seo mistake when i started my first ever website a few
years ago i was really struggling okay and the biggest problem was i was sitting down all day
literally 12 hours a day sometimes writing content publishing content and not seeing any results
or any awards from google i actually thought at one point google just didn't like me you
know like had something personal against me because i was thinking i'm creating all this
content it's way better than any of my competitors i'm spending hours and hours and hours writing
it but at the same time i'm not getting any love from google i'm not getting any rewards from
the algorithm i'm not getting any traffic to my website it was totally frustrating and i spent
literally weeks trying to figure this out it was going round and round in my mind and then i met
a few friends who were doing similar things to me but getting more success and i tried to
figure out right what's the difference between me and the people that i know who are getting
results with google and getting results with seo and the biggest difference was between me and them
wasn't the content it wasn't publishing in fact i was actually more prolific than they were when it
came to creating content the biggest difference was that whilst i was spending 80 of my time
creating content and twenty percent promoting it they totally flipped around and they were doing
eighty percent of their time promoting content and twenty percent creating it and this is the biggest
difference right because if you don't get eyeballs on your content then all the time all the hard
work all the energy that you put into your content will not be seen and the biggest problem is as
well that google looks for these external ways of validating that your content is credible it's
authority that's trustworthy right and if google sees no one's reading this content no one's
engaging with it no one's even linking to it and therefore it can't be good content so
what do you need to do as a webmaster well i would say you really need to start reaching
out to other websites and trying to promote your content and the biggest difference between you and
your competitors right now if you're not getting traffic is probably going to be down to something
called backlinks all right ahrefs did a study they found that out of a billion websites 90 weren't
getting any traffic which is crazy right how can 90 of the internet not get any traffic that's a
hell of a lot of content that's not getting seen and the problem is most of these websites are not
getting backlinks that's the number one reason why they're not getting any traffic from google so
if you want to get more success with your website if you want to get more traffic to your site the
publish and pray method it doesn't work instead what you need to do is start building backlinks
to your website and start promoting your content and spend way more time on promotion instead of
content creation creating content is the easy bit once you've done that that's just day one the
hardest bit is getting back onto your site now if you want more tips on how to get back on csi well
first three link building strategies i recommend are the skyscraper technique harrow link building
and guest blogging but at the same time if you check out my other videos on my youtube channel
you'll see loads of tutorials and exactly how to get back on your website in fact i've actually got
a playlist on my top 10 link building strategies and you can follow the exact steps in these videos
to start building backgrounds and these are the exact strategies that are working for my clients
right now and helping them get insane results of seo and you can just take that content and do
it yourself now the beauty here is that most websites struggle with link building okay so if
you can start building backlinks your website if you create a good process for this now you will
have a competitive advantage over everyone else that's competing with you on google and this is
your opportunity to start improving your results and start out ranking your competitors so focus
far more on promotion don't forget about content creation that's still important of course and
you need to be publishing regularly you need to be publishing high quality content and
you need to be pumping out those articles targeting low competition high volume keywords at
the same time link building is going to fuel your website and what do i mean by this well if you
have a car right let's say you have a ferrari or a lamborghini parked up in your driveway it can
be the best car in the world right but at the same time if you don't put any fuel in it or if
you don't put the right fuel in it then that car isn't going to go anywhere so so you've got your
content now fuel it with backlinks and that's when you'll see results of google at the same time you
must be very careful about how you promote your content right so if you're building backlinks your
website you don't just want any backlinks you've got to focus on quality not quantity and that
means targeting real websites with real traffic that actually get engagement from their audience
and it also means avoiding low quality backlinks right you can go onto fiverr.com and you can buy
like a thousand backlinks and get those inserted literally within 24 hours at the same time that's
not going to help you that's not real promotion and you're not really building anything by
doing this in fact the other benefit of building backlinks and promoting your content more often
is that you're building relationships with other websites in your industry and that could be a
powerful affiliation in the future because now they're linking to you they trust you and that
could lead to more opportunities in the future such as affiliate partnerships joint ventures
or just asking them to promote other content that you've produced in the future so you've
got to leverage these partnerships and link building actually it's not really about getting
back onto your website it's about networking and building relationships in your industry that
you can leverage later on so thanks for watching guys i hope this video helped you you now know
that you have to focus far more on promotion than just creating content and content is actually the
easy bit creating backlinks is a hard part that most webmasters avoid so if you take me up on this

outrank your competitors so thanks for watching if you have any questions let me know in the comment
