That\u2019s why content is now a BIG part of any modern-day SEO strategy. And in this Article, I\u2019ll show you the exact steps to creating the type of content that ranks in 2019 (and beyond)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Create Amazing Content Using \u201cThe Skyscraper Technique\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The Skyscraper Technique is a powerful formula for publishing amazing content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, I used this technique to double my search engine traffic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the 3-step process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First, identify a piece of popular content in your industry<\/li><li>Next, create something even better<\/li><li>Finally, promote that content<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, I don\u2019t have room to go into more detail on these steps here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to learn more about The Skyscraper Technique, here are two helpful resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My All-Time Favorite White Hat SEO Technique (59% More Organic Traffic)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How I Increased My Search Traffic by 110% in 14 Days<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Chunk Your Content to Maximize Readability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one likes reading giant walls of text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ihsansoloads.com\/wordpress\/the-complete-seo-checklist-for-2019\/\" alt=\"Wall of text\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why I ALWAYS break my content into easy-to-read chunks, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These chunks keep my bounce rate low, which is a key Google ranking factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(More on that later)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Cover Your Page\u2019s Topic In-Depth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When&nbsp;we analyzed over a million Google Search Results, one thing stood out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content that ranks best in Google&nbsp;<strong>tends to cover an entire topic in-depth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ihsansoloads.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/xcover-1024x705.png.pagespeed.ic.B28Q2JJmv_.webp\" alt=\"ihsan solo ads\" class=\"wp-image-190\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I recently published&nbsp;this guide&nbsp;on my site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ihsansoloads.com\/wordpress\/the-complete-seo-checklist-for-2019\/\" alt=\"Video SEO post\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I could have published a lame piece of content like: \u201c5 Tips for Video SEO\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, I created a guide that covered EVERYTHING about that topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s the main reason that it ranks #1 in Google for my primary keyword:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(And gets tons of shares on social media)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Use Schema Markup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schema markup<\/a>&nbsp;helps search engines understand your content better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Google recently went on the record to say that Schema&nbsp;can help your rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing Schema can be tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why I recommend&nbsp;Google\u2019s Structured Data Testing tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes using Schema MUCH easier than trying to do it manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Focus on Content Formats That Are Working Right Now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Bozzuto&nbsp;recently reviewed 100 million articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what did they find?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First, the bad news:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe majority of content gets zero backlinks\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ouch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now, some good news:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They discovered that certain content formats perform better than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, \u201cthe big winners are sites that have built a strong reputation for original, authoritative content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do they mean by \u201coriginal, authoritative\u201d content?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Content written by experts<\/li><li>Original research (like surveys and industry studies)<\/li><li>Content that isn\u2019t just regurgitated information<\/li><li>Case studies and real-life examples<\/li><li>Evergreen content&nbsp;that provides value for YEARS<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I recently put together this&nbsp;giant list of SEO tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally tested and reviewed 188 tools. It was an insane amount of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was totally worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date this post has generated&nbsp;<strong>almost 6 thousand backlinks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Use Multimedia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry studies (like this one) show that&nbsp;using multimedia can help you rank in Google:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ihsansoloads.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/xmulti-1024x705.png.pagespeed.ic.StWLje67Uz.webp\" alt=\"ihsan solo ads\" class=\"wp-image-191\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you might notice that this post contains LOTS of images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do this for two main reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First<\/strong>, it just makes for better content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second<\/strong>, images and other forms of multimedia help content rank better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I recommend using these forms of multimedia in your content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Images<\/li><li>Charts<\/li><li>Infographics<\/li><li>Visual Content<\/li><li>Videos<\/li><li>Interactive polls and quizzes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With that, it\u2019s time to cover a SUPER important part of SEO:&nbsp;link building.<strong>L<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s no denying it: if you want to rank in Google, you need to publish great content.
