How to Increase Your Google Ranking in 9 Steps

Finding ways to increase your traffic ranking to make money online can often be quite the daunting task for adults, let alone teens. Many people struggle and spend countless hours wasted with little to no results. Don't give up too fast though, there are many guides and tips out there that can help you in your journey to rank higher on those pesky search engines. In this quick guide I am about to present to you, you will find some basic, yet incredibly useful tips that you will greatly benefit from.

 1.) Have a targeted domain name Having a good domain name will not only add to your websites credibility, but if it has a popular keyword in it, then chances are that google bots will pick it up and you will index faster and to the top pages.

 2.) Include Keywords in the Title of Articles As long as you are writing for search engines then putting relevant keywords in your article titles will be very useful. Just make sure that you make your titles are catchy and something that a person would be willing to click on.

 3.)Write Your Keywords in Bold/Italics While I personally do not use this method, I have seen a lot of websites with this tactic implemented and apparently the results are staggering. It is usually most beneficial to include this syntax in the first paragraph of a post when people just begin to read it. Just make sure you don't go overboard and bold a keyword every time you use it.

 4.) Write High Quality Content I cannot stress enough the importance of writing unique, well-crafted content. If you want to increase your page rank then you need to write impressive material that people want to share and read.

 5.) Keep Updating Google and other search engines like websites that are updated regularly and have interesting content. So don't be expecting to write one article, come back a year later and be on the first page of google for your niche. Aim to write at least one article a week.

6.) Participate in Forums and Other Blogs Backlinks! Backlinks! Backlinks! I have mentioned this in several of my other posts but I want to make a note again of the importance of backlinks. Google loves forums and blogs with a high PR and there are many out there that are do-follow and allow you to leave your website as a backlink in the comments section. Just make sure you leave informational comments and don't spam. Heres a few great blogs that you can get started on: www.comluv.com www.blondish.net www.bluehatseo.com www.selberg.org

7.) Create Multiple Pages By having more than one page on your website/blog, this will strengthen your internal ranking and google will rank you higher.

 8.) Social Bookmarking It seems like every month the newest social media hit is coming out. Instead of looking past these opportunities use them for your benefit. Not only will you receive direct traffic from these websites, but you will also receive a high quality back link. Heres a list of the most popular ones: Facebook Google+ Digg Squidoo Hub Pages Stumble Upon

9.) Target Niche Keywords with Low Competition I can tell you right now that unless you are a killer writer and know how to use SEO like a professional then you wont be making it to the first page of google for the keyword "money" anytime soon. If you haven't already, check Google Adwords to see how popular certain keywords are.
 There you have it, chances are you aren't a big company with paid professionals to do the dirty work for you. However, if you work at it, spend some time each week developing your website and its' keywords, then you will be on the first page of google before you know it. Having a high ranking website when you're trying to make money online as a teen can be the difference between succeeding and wasting your time. Good luck!
