SEO Friendly Content: 5 Creative Ways to Increase Website Traffic

#3. Google Trend – Google Trend is another powerful free SEO tool that will make your blogging life easy.

I have not used it much in the past, but most SEO experts always advise to include it in our SEO Optimization strategy.

So, I did a quick search for “SEO Optimization”… see what I got below:

Google Trend: SEO Tool for writing SEO friendly Content

So you can see what people are interested in over time, which regions they are that are interested in the topic, and exactly what they are searching for… That way, you can develop content that will beat the results that are currently being displayed.

#4. Answer the Public – This is one other tool I have come to love, and as the name implies, it helps you find questions, prepositions, comparisons, alphabetical, and related searches you can answer in a blog post.

Answer the Public: A Nifty Tool for Writing SEO Friendly Content

Hahahaha.

I really love the GIF, especially the expression of the man.

You know he really wants you to type in that keyword so that he could get to work immediately. You know what am saying!

But before, I go about showing you my result, let me introduce you guys to Joshua Hardwick, the head of content @ Ahrefs (or, in plain English, he’s the guy responsible for ensuring that every published blog post on Ahrefs.com is EPIC).

So on February 20, 2019, Joshua published a powerful post on the 10 Free Keyword Research Tools (That CRUSH Google Keyword Planner). I think you should check that post for more complete free SEO tools, particularly for a thorough explanation of how to gain website traffic using the Answer the Public SEO tool.

So, speaking of results, below are the pictorial responses the Answer the Public keyword research tool gave me when I plugged in my keyword phrase…

#5. Google AutoSuggest – Google is perhaps the biggest and the most used search engine tool on the internet today.

This, therefore, means that using them for your SEO Optimization techniques should be the first action call for you as a blogger, whether a beginner blogger or a household name blogger.

So just like I’ve done with the previous tools, I also search for the keyword we are trying to rank for on Google’s search bar, and below are the results I got…

I could easily pick all these other keyword variations and sprinkle them inside my content, which is exactly what I did with this post you are reading.

If you are new to SEO Optimization, you should take notice of the “People also ask” section which highlights what people are also searching for.

The King of Search knows everything, including a searcher’s intent, and hence, it shows him or her other related questions people are asking and want to know the answer to.

As a wise and sharp blogger, you should take note of this section very well. What’s even more interesting is when you toggle the button, Google loads up more questions for you like the example below:

Key Takeaway

While these SEO tools are great starters to writing SEO Optimized content, you shouldn’t spend all your time on them.

You should instead spend most of your time on writing and developing high-quality your audience wants to consume.

Focus on that (and get it right) and you’ll see how much easier it is to get high-quality backlinks from top-tier sources whilst you rank on Google SERPs.
