What is SEO?

1. Keyword Research (Foundation of SEO)

• Use tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, Ubersuggest, or Google Keyword Planner.

• Focus on:

  • High CPC (Cost-Per-Click) keywords (this means advertisers pay more, increasing ad revenue).

  • Low competition, long-tail keywords (easier to rank for).

  • Transactional intent (e.g., “best CRM software for enterprises” rather than “what is CRM”).

2. Content Strategy

• Publish Long-Form Content (1500–3000 words) that answers user queries in depth.

• Use skyscraper technique: research top-ranking articles and make something better.

• Include original data, infographics, expert quotes—this boosts authority and backlinks.

3. On-Page SEO Optimization

• Keyword in:

  • Title (<h1>)

  • First 100 words

  • Meta description

  • URL slug

  • At least one subheading (<h2> or <h3>)

• Use LSI keywords (related terms) naturally.

• Optimize images (alt text + compression).

• Include internal linking and outbound links to authority sites.

4. Technical SEO

• Ensure mobile responsiveness

• Fast loading speed (use Core Web Vitals, CDN, image optimization)

• SSL certificate (HTTPS)

• Schema markup for rich results (e.g., FAQ, product, how-to)

• Clean URL structure

5. Content Categories for High-Value Niches

These blog categories tend to bring higher ad rates and affiliate potential:

• Finance & Investing

• Insurance

• SaaS and B2B Tools

• Health (with E-E-A-T compliance)

• Legal advice

• Tech product reviews

6. Monetization (Make the Blog “Expensive”)

• Display Ads (Google AdSense, Mediavine, AdThrive)

• Affiliate marketing (Amazon Associates, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate)

• Sell digital products (ebooks, courses, templates)

• Sponsored posts or backlinks

• Lead generation for high-paying services

7. E-E-A-T & Authority

• Add author bio with credentials

• Cite reputable sources

• Include privacy policy, terms, and contact pages

• Maintain trust with consistent, factual content
