How to submit you blog to google

Are you frustrated by the lack of views and engagement on your blog posts? Wondering why your blog never seems to rank in Google, no matter how hard you try?
This is a problem faced by many business owners. The owner invests so much time and money into creating content, then they get discouraged when it doesn't get any traction.
I'm just like you, a blogger/business owner that's looking to get more traffic to my blog. I've struggled with this in the past. Over the past year I've been pushing my payments blog hard. I've been investing a lot of time and money into this. In the past 12 months I've taken it from 10k uniques to over 1 million uniques. I've learned a few things along the way.
This post will look at six steps that I've applied to my blog to give it some extra traction and bring large amounts of traffic.


1. Keyword research

While keywords aren't quite as important as they used to be, they're still a necessary element of SEO. Doing some basic keyword research will help you find keywords that your target market is searching for, and words that you have a chance of ranking for.

Using the Google Keyword Planner, look for highly-relevant keywords that get a decent number of searches and low levels of competition
Using your favorite keyword research tool (like Google Keyword Planner, KeywordTool.io or SEO Book's Keyword Tool), compile a list of possible keywords you can target. In particular, look for longer phrases (3+ words) that are highly-relevant to your business, but that don't seem very competitive.
In general, it's better to pick a main topic for your post, than to choose a variety of words and phrases that will help you flesh out that topic. This is preferable to simply choosing one or two keywords and then using them over and over again. This practice could even hurt your ranking.
Once you've chosen some possible phrases, go to Google and search for those keywords. What does the competition look like? Are they big, well-known sites? Or are they small blogs you could potentially outrank? Whenever possible, go with keywords that you have a good chance of ranking for in the short term.
