Early results look very promising.<\/p>\n<p>Below is our story.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0search referral traffic was flat despite that fact that we\u00a0had 1,400 blog posts written\u00a0over the course of several years.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Search referral traffic was flat<\/li>\n<li>Blog posts were not getting ranked<\/li>\n<li>Blog posts were getting ranked\u00a0incorrectly<span style=\"background-color: #f5f6f5;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Very few blog posts appeared in the top search results<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We were scratching our heads to find the right solution.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>We followed the advice of the &#8216;pros&#8217;:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Create great headlines &#8211; check (so we thought)\u2713<\/li>\n<li>Write over 1,000 words and closer to 3,000 &#8211; check (needed some improvement)\u2713<\/li>\n<li>Post Offen (5x per week)\u2713<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>However, after following this great advice, the search love was not coming our way. Search referral traffic to our blog was still flat as a result of the number of keywords indexed or lack thereof in spite of the\u00a0fact we were writing multiple times per week.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, our team was\u00a0extremely\u00a0frustrated.\u00a0There was even a point where\u00a0we considered shutting our blog down because the investment was not paying off compared to the hours of time we were putting into it.<\/p>\n<p>We see our competitors, and other companies seemingly follow the same advice of the pros but in contrast, they saw the results we hoped for. How? What were they doing that we weren&#8217;t?<\/p>\n<p>I knew there had to be a simple solution &#8211; at least I was hoping for one.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Simple steps we took<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After many failed experiments, we settled upon the following SEO content formula. You will see from the data below the formula\u00a0had fantastic results. For the SEO experts, this is not an extensive list of items, but it got us out of our blogging blues because the results we pretty dramatic (see below)<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Did extensive keyword research on over 1,400 blog posts<\/li>\n<li>Rewrote each\u00a0blog post\u00a0to include the correct keyword<\/li>\n<li>Optimized headlines for search<\/li>\n<li>Created new URLs that included keyword and redirected old URL to new URL<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Although these steps were simple, it took quite a bit of time to optimize each blog post &#8211; especially, given the fact we had over 1,400 blog posts that needed work done to them (from minor to major tweaks).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tools we used<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The single biggest move that resulted in the most dramatic change was investing in a tool that did\u00a0backlink research, organic traffic research, and keyword research.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ahrefs.com\">Ahrefs<\/a>: Tool that does backlink, organic traffic, and keyword research<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/yoast.com\/\">Yoast<\/a>: SEO plugin for WordPress<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/coschedule.com\/headline-analyzer\">CoSchedue Headline Analyzer<\/a>: Aids in writing better headlines<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-experiments-free\/\">Title Experiments<\/a>: WordPress plugin to split test headlines<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/redirection\/\">Redirection<\/a>: WordPress plugin to easily create URL redirects<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/dlvr.it\">dlvr.it<\/a>: Shared the optimized on social media to gather more engagement (social engagement is a search trigger)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>1 &#8211; Extensive Keyword Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Given that we had 1,400 blog posts to re-optimize, we needed to prioritize which posts to start with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>a.<\/strong>\u00a0Using Ahrefs, we researched our\u00a0competitor&#8217;s\u00a0keywords.<br \/>\n<strong>b.<\/strong>\u00a0Created an extensive list of the top keywords with the biggest traffic potential in our space.<br \/>\n<strong>c. <\/strong>Again using Ahrefs and our keyword list, researched which blog posts written by anyone that matched that keyword.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">d. Found\u00a0additional long-tail keywords<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2 &#8211; Rewrote Blog Posts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We took the extensive list of keywords and ranked them by traffic potential in the hope that it would provide a\u00a0level of prioritization. Once we prioritized the keywords, the\u00a0time-consuming work began.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>a.<\/strong> Downloaded the list of every blog post we have written into a Google Doc. We used Google Docs\u00a0to track our progress.<br \/>\n<strong>b.<\/strong> Grouped each blog post together by subject. For example, we optimized all the blog posts related to Facebook in the hopes of assigning the right Facebook related keyword\u00a0with\u00a0the most appropriate Facebook-focused blog post.<br \/>\n<strong>c.<\/strong>\u00a0Used Yoast to help refine the blog post\u00a0&#8211; monitor how many times the keyword was used, analyzed the meta description, and readability errors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3 &#8211; Rewrote Headlines\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You will hear a lot of advice when it comes to SEO content that you should write for humans. I completely agree. However, the tricky part is how do you write for real people while at the same time, create content that is also search friendly. We found a compromise:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>a.<\/strong> Using the plugin Title Experiments, we were able to build several headlines &#8211; some that were more human-friendly, others that were more search friendly. The plugin then measures which performs the best and automagically inserts the winning headline as the main headline.<br \/>\n<strong>b.<\/strong>\u00a0CoSchedue Headline Analyzer gave us the guidance to write 3-4 different headlines that had the most potential of being shared and clicked.<br \/>\n<strong>c.<\/strong> Used one of the winning headlines as our SEO title in the Yoast plugin.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4 &#8211; Redirected URLs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While going through this process, we quickly realized that our blog post URLs were not search friendly. We had to make a change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>a.<\/strong> First, we created a new URL (if needed) that included the keyword for that blog post.<br \/>\n<strong>b.<\/strong> Using the Redirection plugin, we redirected the old URL to the new search-friendly URL.<\/p>\n<p>A word of caution. If your blog has backlinks and good search traffic already, be cautious. As a result, for a short period of time, search traffic will dip, ranked keywords might be lost, and it will mess with Google analytics.<\/p>\n<p>In this\u00a0case, we were fine with the fall-out. As we previously discussed, we either had no keywords ranked, the wrong keywords ranked, or we found the content buried on page ten in search results.<\/p>\n<p>A bit of advice. When using Redirection make sure you:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Add &#8220;.*&#8221; after the original source URL<\/li>\n<li>Check &#8220;Regex&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a result, all traffic sources will redirect to the new URL including any traffic that had tracking parameters added to the end of the URL. On the contrary, if you didn&#8217;t do this, only the traffic that had the root URL would be included. We found this out the hard way.<\/p>\n<p>For example\u00a0\/2015\/04\/seo-strategy-is-content\/ would be redirected BUT\u00a0\/2015\/04\/seo-strategy-is-content\/?=x would not.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16615\" src=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-Quality-SEO-Content-Can-Actually-Solve-Your-Ranking-Issue-redirection-1024x138.jpg\" alt=\"How Quality SEO Content Can Actually Solve Your Ranking Issue - redirection\" width=\"1024\" height=\"138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-Quality-SEO-Content-Can-Actually-Solve-Your-Ranking-Issue-redirection-1024x138.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-Quality-SEO-Content-Can-Actually-Solve-Your-Ranking-Issue-redirection-300x40.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-Quality-SEO-Content-Can-Actually-Solve-Your-Ranking-Issue-redirection-768x103.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-Quality-SEO-Content-Can-Actually-Solve-Your-Ranking-Issue-redirection.jpg 1182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5 &#8211; Social Share<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/2015\/03\/boost-social-media-seo\/\">Social sharing<\/a> contributes to a brand\u2019s authority much in the same way that external links do. For this reason, any indication of a verifiable external source validating your brand or your content is grounds for a small improvement in domain authority. To put it another way, <strong>likes, shares, favorites, replies, and retweets all count toward this increased authority.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once optimized, we <a title=\"How to be Smart with Social Media Automation \u2013 Best Practices\" href=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/smart-social-media-automation\/\">queued up the blog post again in dlvr.it<\/a>\u00a0in the hope that we could get more social shares. For many of our readers, the post appeared as a new article. For existing readers, it was a revised or updated article with a much more compelling headline and content. It was a win-win for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_Better_SEO_Content_Work\"><\/span><strong>Did Better SEO Content\u00a0Work?\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Looking at the organic search graph below, you will\u00a0see how our organic search traffic was flat for almost 12 months. Although the keywords were getting indexed, the rate at which they were indexed compared to how many words we were writing monthly, did not match. It took three months to see organic traffic start to go up and another month to realize the hockey stick growth.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the work we put in, you will see a slight dip in the organic keywords chart. The\u00a0drop occurred due to the fact old; irrelevant keywords were finally going away.
