Search Engine Blogging Problems
The length and quality of content
Problem: One of the most common problems faced by new bloggers is writing quality content. Ahrefs’s analysis concludes that the median length of a top-performing blog post is at least 800 words and an article with above 2,000 words achieves better rankings, more links, and more traffic. It means a single post solve various pain points and satisfy search intent, give the best answer to which they are looking for: subtopics, tutorials, guides, exact steps, and images to showcase them.
Solution: Set up your content to match SERP flow and satisfy user intent. You can use the Ahrefs or SEMrush to find your target phrase and compose an outline based on related topics, and intent.
Nex step, you go to Google and research the SERP where you can find out the searcher’s intent which helps you to refine your outline based on keywords and related searches.
Topics / Keywords to Target
Problem: There are already thousands of bloggers around you for every niche. So, how do you have expensive traffic and find topic ideations that aren’t had?
Solution: Stop targeting so much on writing keyword content. Keyword content can be helpful if you have brand awareness already. Instead, focus on these elements:
- Take a new twist on an existing topic.
- Create your own keyword.
- Develop a research study.
Technical Blogging Problems Creating your own blog
Problem: You can have problems with plugins, codes, CSS or HTML… but the biggest problem is web hosting. When your web hosts start giving you problems, your site would randomly stop working sometimes, the content would disappear, the blog would disappear and so much more. Besides, Google considers the speed of the blog as one of the ranking aspects, every blogger needs to consider about the speed factor when start creating your own blog
Solution:
- Research a suitable hosting for you which based on the content you post, the reach you have, page views you get, types of images you upload, the server you need may alter. You can refer to this post: Simple steps to create the personal blog
