Content creation is a key avenue for revenue generation for all online businesses. Knowing how to write an article that will rank on the first page<\/strong><\/a> is critical when looking to drive (free) traffic to your site. If your content does not appear among the first couple results, then it is pretty much a waste of time on your end to create such content in the first place.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I started blogging, I had a really hard time writing<\/strong> articles that will SEO well<\/strong>. In fact for almost a year I had no real organic traffic because my strategy was flawed. Then I got serious and started blogging more and more and eventually created a blueprint that I follow every time to get my blog posts ranked<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This SEO blueprint has helped all of my Flux businesses<\/a> gather tens of thousands of impressions and traffic each month and even helped me create a 7-figure business<\/a>.

Here are the proven steps to create content that will be loved by search engines:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – Select the right keywords and use variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A big part of whether or not your content will rank are the keywords that you select. If you are looking to compete for high difficulty keywords with an unaged domain with a poor backlink profile you\u2019re wasting your time. You need to start with easier keywords and build up from there.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To select the best keywords you can write a list of keywords that you are looking to target and then go on Google Keyword Planner<\/a> or using the keyword search on Ahrefs<\/a>. From there you can sort keywords whose difficulty is low-medium and that at least get a 100 searches a month.

For a list of SEO tools<\/a> to use, follow this guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use keyword variations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at this article, notice how I\u2019m using variations of the keywords that I\u2019m looking to rank for throughout my post (which in this case is \u201chow to write the perfect seo article\u201d). Keyword variations are also known as LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords which are essentially just words that are related to your target keywords. When you use keyword variations you not only make your article more likely to rank for more keywords but also help Google understand what your content is all about.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual keyword density target should be around 2-3%. You should try to achieve this with a mix of exact match and partial match keywords. Use Yoast SEO<\/a> to check that your post is good to go.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 – The ideal length of your post should be between 2000 – 2500 words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t stress this enough. Writing content in long-form will outperform short content, and there\u2019s plenty of research about that.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having people spend more time on your site will lead to better rankings as time on site<\/em><\/strong> is regarded as a powerful metric when it comes to SEO<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that writing shorter is easier and quicker but creating lengthy posts will pay off (trust me).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t tried writing long posts, then I suggest you start now. It\u2019s a good exercise that will require you to explore a topic in much more depth, which most of the times will lead you to learning something new.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solid way to write long posts is to search for the topic that you want to write about and condense all the information that the top 5-10 results present, that way you will provide the most information out all of your competitors allowing you to outrank them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 – Use compelling meta titles and meta descriptions to increase your CTR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CTR (or click-through rate) is one of the main factors that Google takes into consideration when ranking sites<\/a>. The site that ranks #1 for a particular keyword will arguably get the most clicks. So a good practice to follow is to create compelling titles that will get you clicks even if you\u2019re result #2 or #3.

Some very good modifiers for titles are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
