In order to get good at SEO, you have to practice it. So create a website using WordPress and setup a blog. Make sure you pick a domain name as well.

Once it is setup, start blogging. You should be blogging about whatever topic you are passionate about.

From there you'll want to install the Yoast SEO plugin. This plugin allows you to change your meta tags as well as optimizes your WordPress blog for search engines.

Within your meta tags make sure you include your keywords. By placing the right keywords in your title tag you are more likely to rank for them.

In addition to adjusting your keywords, you will have to cross link your posts together. By cross linking them, they are more likely to get indexed.

Last but not least you will also have to build links. Go to Ahrefs.com, type in your competitor URLs and email out every site that links to them and ask them to link to you as well.

Over time you'll see your rankings increase and you'll get the hang of SEO.

    Neil is the kind of Patel that would make his child go to an Ivy League to get a backlink from their .edu student blog

    • Neil Patel September 13, 2017 at 8:18 pm #

      LOL, if my kid did go to one I would ask for a link. ROFL

    • William Chou September 14, 2017 at 1:21 am #

      I would do the same

      When you say “linking with other sites” or “backlinks” does it just mean the other sites sharing your links on their social media platform or having your link on their site?

    • Neil Patel September 16, 2017 at 12:24 am #

      Other websites (not owned by you) linking to your website. This EXCLUDES social media sites. You want links from other blogs, new sites, etc.

      Hilarious!

    The funny part is 90% of us know all this stuff already yet we keep watching Neil’s videos.

    • Neil Patel April 13, 2018 at 12:11 pm #

      I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that not even close to 90% of people know this stuff. Most people who visit my site and channel are just getting started. Not everyone already works in SEO.

    Would my wp blog be slow if I used shared (the cheapest) webhosting?

    P.S. Thanks for the short but very informational video

    • Neil Patel May 7, 2018 at 3:25 pm #

      No, it would be because of other factors.
