The world of SEO is constantly evolving as Google continues to update its algorithm to provide better search results. So, despite knowing the basics of SEO, the key next steps involve a journey of continuous learning and adaptation. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The very first step in your next leg of your journey in SEO is to constantly stay updated with the latest trends in SEO. The realm of SEO isn't static; it’s as dynamic as the digital landscape itself. Algorithm changes, new protocols, technology advancements, all influence SEO.

By subscribing to quality SEO newsletters, blogs, webinars, and participating in SEO discussions platforms, you'll be in touch with the latest changes in the SEO field.&nbsp;

In parallel, it’s essential to use advanced SEO tools that provide valuable data and insights into your website's performance. These tools can measure various metrics, right from your keyword ranking, website loading time, bounce rate to site traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Semrush, Ahrefs, <a href="https://seodity.com/">Seodity </a>are some of the popular SEO tools to help guide your strategy, identify strengths and shortcomings, and measure your growth.

Beyond this, comprehensively analyzing your SEO data is absolutely critical. The usage of SEO tools will avail you a pool of data. But, what truly matters is how you analyze this data and leverage it to refine your SEO strategy. By studying keyword rankings, user behavior, click-through rates, and other metrics, you can gain insights into what's working for your site and potential areas of improvement.&nbsp;

While focusing on the data, one must not lose sight of the core element of SEO – content. Producing quality content on a consistent basis is extremely pivotal. Your content should offer real value to your audience, not merely serve as a vehicle for keywords. This is where advanced AI-driven tools come into play that can help manage the otherwise burdensome process of content creation.&nbsp;

Next, one can't ignore the importance of links. Building a diverse and quality backlink portfolio is imperative for effective SEO. This includes creating and maintaining healthy internal links and acquiring quality external backlinks that can significantly improve your SEO performance.

Another important step involves conducting frequent SEO audits. These audits essentially give a health check of your website, checking its load speed, mobile responsiveness, broken links, and other technical factors that could be affecting your SEO performance. By identifying and fixing these issues, you can ensure your website remains user-friendly and well-optimized for search engines.

Lastly, never stop learning. From SEO webinars to online courses, workshops, or consulting with SEO experts – there are various resources out there that can help you broaden your knowledge and skills in SEO.&nbsp;

While the SEO journey may seem daunting, it’s indeed rewarding. It's about being flexible as changes come, continually learning, and improving. By taking these next steps with diligence and patience, you will begin to see a notable improvement in your website's search engine ranking and overall visibility. And with these gains, you'll attract more quality traffic to your site, setting the cornerstone for business growth.

What are backlinks? They are merely links from other websites to your website. They're crucial because the more backlinks you have, the more traffic you'll receive. 

However, it's not about obtaining backlinks from just any website - their quality is significant. In this article, we will concentrate on identifying websites that would be advantageous for backlinking, how to recognize spammy backlinks and deal with them, and how to monitor your backlink history.

<a href="https://seodity.com/backlinks">The Seodity Backlinks </a>module is extremely beneficial for identifying your backlinks momentum. It enables you to effortlessly determine the quantity of backlinks you possess, along with any new and lost ones from previous months.

You can also view all the backlinks, anchors, and referring domains for your website, as well as those of your competitors.

How to Find High-Quality Websites for Backlinks?

The most crucial indicator of a high-quality website is its Domain Rank (DR) and Page Rank (PR) value. The higher these values, the better the backlinks you can procure from that website. But how can you discover these websites? One efficient strategy is to leverage our competitors!

Currently, you need to review them to identify websites where there's a potential to obtain a backlink for your website. Some methods for acquiring backlinks include guest blogging, advertising, collaborations, or locating broken backlinks they might be interested in replacing with yours.

How to Find Spammy Backlinks and How To Make Google Ignore Them?

With Seodity it’s really easy! To find them:

That’s it! <a href="https://seodity.com/blog/find-spam-links">Spammy backlinks</a> to your website you’ve chosen will be ignored by Google from now on.

Backlinks matter a lot in SEO as they can drive more traffic to your site and improve its ranking. Good backlinks from well-known sites can greatly improve your search engine position. 

You can use tools like Seodity Backlinks to find good backlink opportunities and avoid bad ones. Regularly checking your backlink profile and adjusting your tactics is key to keep growing. It's better to have a few top-quality backlinks rather than a lot of low-quality ones, so try to get links from respected sources in your field.

In our next article, we'll dive into the next steps you should take in your SEO journey. <a href="https://seodity.com/blog/next-steps-in-seo-journey">Read it here.</a>

Your website's health and speed are crucial for good online ranking. An in-depth site audit can improve user experience and boost your website's visibility. 

This article shows how to generate an On-Site Audit using Seodity, and what you can do to fix any technical errors found.

First, you need to have a project created for your website. If you don't have a project, follow the steps in our documentation to create a new one&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.seodity.com/getting-started/adding-your-first-project">here.</a>

After going to your project, follow these steps:

Once your audit is completed, you will see a list of issues that Seodity has identified following the analysis.

These are categorized by their severity - you will notice errors, warnings, and information. It is best to prioritize errors, as they have the most significant impact on your SEO.

How to fix them? The solution depends on the specific issue. If you click on the "Info" icon, located on the right side of the row, more information about the issue will be revealed. You will also receive detailed instructions on how to resolve the given issue.

After clicking on the entire row or the "Show affected pages in the Explorer" button, you'll be redirected to the Data Explorer tab with filters applied specifically for this issue.

You have the option to fix these pages yourself or delegate the task to the person responsible for your website development.

More in-depth analysis using Data Explorer

We've learned how to identify webpages that have issues. But what if we want to analyze a particular webpage, its external and internal links, and how the social preview of that website would appear, among other data? You can certainly do that too!

To view information about a specific webpage:

1.&nbsp;Navigate to the On-Site module and then click on the "Data Explorer" tab.

2.&nbsp;You can filter webpages here to find what you're looking for.

3.&nbsp;After you've located the specific webpage from which you want to view all data, click on the webpage row in the table. This action will reveal a modal displaying external/internal links of the webpage, social metadata, and other useful information.

Performance monitoring using Google Lighthouse

If you're interested in your website's performance, you can examine it using our Google Lighthouse analysis.

This resource is incredibly useful for identifying site-wide performance issues. For instance, it can measure how long your website takes to load and how long it takes for a user to interact with it. It also provides insights on how to solve these problems, pinpointing areas that require modification, such as enabling text compression or breaking down your JavaScript code into smaller segments.

It's important to regularly check your website's health, speed, and performance.&nbsp;It locates problems and gives easy-to-understand solutions, improving SEO, visibility, and user experience. Fixing these issues is essential for SEO.

Use Data Explorer for a detailed analysis and Google Lighthouse to monitor performance. Be active and use these tools to keep your site running smoothly. Always strive to improve your site for the best user experience.

In our last article, we explored how to use Seodity to understand our competitors' strategies. Now, let's go deeper. We'll show you reliable and efficient ways to produce content.&nbsp;

First, we will describe a few methods for easily generating articles. Next, we will focus on editing and refining these articles to prepare them for posting on our website.

Articles Inspired by Your Competitors' High Traffic Pages

Achieving organic traffic comes with understanding what works for the competition. Remember, their high-traffic pages are your potential high-traffic articles! We already know how to locate these pages, now let's explore how we can utilize them to craft our own articles.

1.&nbsp;After choosing the specific page you want to base your article upon, choose "More" beside page URL and click "Generate Article"

2.&nbsp;Choose article title, language and size and click "Create"

After a moment of analyzing data, the article will be started to be generated.&nbsp;

Article Ideas with the Use of Keyword Gap Feature in Organic Traffic

The Keyword Gap feature is an incredibly powerful tool in your arsenal for generating high-value content ideas. This feature allows you to compare your site's organic keyword profile with that of your competitors. It reveals gaps where your competitors rank for certain keywords that you don't, presenting opportunities for you to create content to fill that gap and rank for those keywords as well.

There are many ways to approach this topic, but one potential method to identify optimal keywords for your article would be:

1.&nbsp;Select your competitor in the "Competitors" field within the Organic Traffic module.

2.&nbsp;Sort by Keyword Difficulty (KD) to find keywords that have low KD, making it easier to rank for them.

3.&nbsp;Select keywords that pique your interest. Look for comparable keywords on the same topic, potentially linking to the same page. This will enable you to create an article that's comprehensible and logical.

4.&nbsp;Click "Generate Article", enter name, select language, determine the article size, then click "Create".

Your article will be generated after a while.

You can experiment with the Organic Traffic module to find articles that best suit you. For example, consider sorting by search volume to identify high-traffic keywords, or sort by Rank to determine the topics where you have a better chance of outranking your competition. Refining your search results to show only long-tail keywords is also a practical strategy. These phrases, which are usually longer and more specific, are less competitive and can improve your search engine ranking.&nbsp;

Using AI Content Editor to Optimize and Prepare Articles for Posting on a Website

After generating your article using the methods above, optimizing an existing piece, or perhaps even writing an article from scratch, the easiest approach is to utilize an AI Content Editor. It's specifically designed to help produce and optimize content swiftly, while adding a personal touch.

You can utilize our AI Assistant to quickly "Shorten", "Expand", "Simplify", or "Rephrase" any chosen text according to your requirements. Additionally, there's an option to "Correct Grammar" if you merely want to cross verify whether the content you have generated is well-written.

When writing an article from scratch, you'll find the "Paragraph" option to be incredibly useful. Simply write the title of the subsequent paragraph, select it, and then choose "Paragraph."

After deciding on the length of the paragraph, click 'Generate'. Our AI Assistant will then generate the entire paragraph of your article for you. You can further refine this later using other AI options.

Another useful feature is the capability to create an FAQ at the end of an article, enhancing the chances of appearing in Google's "People Also Ask" box. Simply right-click at the bottom of the editor and select "FAQ". Then, supply the questions, and the answers to them will be automatically generated using AI.

Simply put, SEO tools like Seodity can enhance your online visibility. Use features like Keyword Gap and AI Content Editor to create engaging, SEO-friendly content.

Learn from your competitors' tactics to drive more organic traffic. Fill keyword gaps and aim for high search engine ranks. With the right editing tools, your content will reach more people and provide a great user experience.

Keep learning, trying new approaches, and improving.

In the next article, we'll explore on-site auditing - assessing your website's health and speed. These checks can crucially impact your SEO and site's usability. <a href="https://seodity.com/blog/on-site-audit-importance">Click here to read the article.</a>

Why do I need to add keywords to Rank Tracker and not just use Organic Traffic?&nbsp;

Search Engine Optimization, referred to as SEO, is the practice of enhancing the quality and quantity of traffic to your website. It achieves this by making your webpage more visible to search engines like Google. Think about this - if you have a spectacular product or a service, but it's buried deep in the wilderness where no one can find it, it's practically useless. That's where SEO comes in. It makes your website stand out, attracting more viewers and potential customers.

Search engines use complex and constantly evolving algorithms to index and rank billions of webpages on the internet. These algorithms utilize 'crawlers' to scan and collect data from webpages. This data is then indexed and ranked based on various factors, including the relevance and quality of the content.

Successful SEO depends on several key factors. Here are some in more simple terms:

SEO is all about making your site visible and interesting to both people and search engines. Doing good SEO can take time, but it's worth it to attract more visitors to your site.

If you’re just beginning your SEO journey, you might feel overwhelmed by some jargon. But don't worry, understanding these terms is easier than you'd think!

&nbsp;Can I handle SEO on my own?

Yes, you certainly can! With some research and a lot of patience, it's entirely possible to conduct basic SEO for your website.

Begin by reading online tutorials and guides. You can also take online SEO courses. Experimenting with your own website with the knowledge you gain is the best way to learn!

Having SEO tools is helpful. They offer insights into the performance of your website, track keyword rankings, and analyze your competitors' SEO strategies. Consider Seodity, which offers a comprehensive set of tools to help with your SEO efforts.

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

The timeframe to see SEO results may vary, but typically, it can take anywhere from three to six months. However, keep in mind, SEO is a long-term strategy and continuous efforts are required to maintain and improve your search rankings.

Will SEO ensure my page always appears first in the search results?

SEO certainly improves your odds of ranking highly in the search results, but it doesn't guarantee the top spot. Search engines use hundreds of ranking factors in their algorithms, and the top results change frequently. However, good SEO practices will consistently keep you near the top.

No, SEO is a continuous activity. Search engine algorithms constantly change, and so do user trends. It is vital to regularly optimize your website and update your content to maintain your rankings.

Here at Seodity, we provide a unique SEO analysis tool to help you gain invaluable insights into your competitors' SEO strategies. Our easy-to-use interface and powerful SEO audit functionalities make us stand out. A significant chapter in our story was when we decided to launch on Product Hunt. Intrigued about how we planned, executed, and reflected on this launch? Dive in as we unravel our journey in this article.

Our decision to launch on Product Hunt was a strategic one. Having made over $270,000 within a month on our <a href="https://seodity.com/blog/the-appsumo-effect-how-we-made-over-270000-in-one-month">earlier AppSumo launch</a>, we intended to keep up the momentum. Product Hunt’s large, active tech community presented a unique opportunity for visibility and exposure that we hoped to capitalize on.

We aimed not just to create buzz around Seodity, but to attract and onboard new users. Product Hunt's user base is not only sizable but also filled with quality users who hold a genuine interest in new tech products. We envisaged this platform as a springboard to demonstrate our product's capabilities and allure new users to Seodity.

In brief, Product Hunt was a perfect platform for us to realise our goals for Seodity: great visibility, user engagement, and acquisition.

Getting Ready for the Product Hunt Launch

Our first big step in getting ready for the Product Hunt launch was listening to our users. We had a lot of feedback from our Appsumo launch, so we decided to put it to good use. We fixed all the reported bugs and created new features that our users wanted. We even made new guides and documents to make it even easier for people to use Seodity. That was the part which took us few months of hard work!

Our whole team was involved in getting ready for the launch. Everyone had tasks and jobs to do. Having everyone on board made the preparations smoother and more efficient.

Before the launch, we wanted to create a buzz about Seodity and get people excited. To do this, we reached out to our current users, especially those from Appsumo. They were a big help in creating interest about our Product Hunt launch. They wrote comments, left reviews and also upvoted Seodity. 

To spread the word even more, we divided promotional tasks among our team. Everyone had a role, whether it was posting about our launch online or telling their friends about it. We believe it was these efforts that helped create a successful launch.

Seodity's launch on Product Hunt brought mixed results. We ended up 12th on the launch day with 213 people liking our product. This result was okay, but not outstanding. We didn't win any awards or special mentions.

Right after the launch, we didn't see a big jump in people using Seodity. But, a few signed up during our launch on Product Hunt which was great. We don't always see lots of people coming from Product Hunt, but we do sometimes get users from there. 

So, overall, the Product Hunt launch didn't make a big splash, but it has helped us grow bit by bit. It's made Seodity more known and that's helped us get more users over time.

After we launched on Product Hunt, we feel good about it. We didn't get a ton of new users right away, but more folks know about us now. All the work we did before the launch made our product better too. And, our marketing before the launch even helped us get our name out there more.

We hoped to rank higher than 12th, but once we saw who else was launching that day, we realized it was a tough crowd. A lot of them were established SaaS with plenty of users who really helped them get to the top places. So even coming in 12th was a big win for us.

The whole experience taught us a few things. You can't be in a hurry to succeed. It might take some time, but we're gradually growing. Also, all the prep work we put in before the launch was worth it. It didn't just help us get attention during the launch, it made our product better for everyone.

If we had to do this all over again, we'd stick with what worked this time. We might change a few things, but overall, we'd do a lot of the same stuff. And knowing what we do now about the other products on Product Hunt would help us set our expectations better.

Launching Seodity on Product Hunt worked out pretty well for us. We got our name out there and have been picking up more users slowly but surely. We're excited to see where things go from here.

AppSumo is a digital platform offering lifetime deals on various software, tools, and educational materials for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses. With over 3 million users, it's an attractive platform for startups looking to boost their sales and reach a broader audience.

Getting selected for the AppSumo Select program, which highlights the most promising and high-quality products, was a huge validation for our product. This nomination gave us the opportunity to showcase Seodity to millions of potential users.

Knowing that we were going to be in the spotlight, we poured time and effort into perfecting our product. We enhanced Seodity with new features, improvements, and a user-friendly platform based on feedback and research. We also prioritized clear communication, addressing common customer questions and collaborating with the AppSumo team on promotional materials.

When we launched Seodity on AppSumo, the overwhelmingly positive response reassured us that we had made the right choice. We sold a total of 1,820 licenses. This initial success provided valuable feedback from our user base and generated enthusiasm for our product.

However, the launch also brought its challenges. Our support team quickly became overwhelmed with requests, and time zone differences made it difficult to deliver timely assistance. Faced with these issues, we expanded our support team and streamlined communication. This helped us handle inquiries more efficiently without compromising our reputation for excellent customer service.

Some of the positives of launching on AppSumo were:

Our product rapidly improved – with almost 2,000 new users, we were motivated to quickly release new features. Additionally, we gained a clear understanding of which features to prioritise based on input from users who relied on Seodity for their businesses, providing valuable insights from real-world scenarios.

Our product visibility increased, and after the campaign ended, we began to notice new monthly subscribers.

Despite these positives, we also faced challenges, such as:

Our small team found it challenging to handle all support requests quickly, especially with timezone differences. Additionally, we had to be mindful of infrastructure costs - in our case, users generated costs even when they weren't actively using the app (e.g., Keyword Rank Tracking), which isn't ideal for a high volume of LTD users. Furthermore, AppSumo users are a unique demographic; they can be very helpful in finding bugs and providing feedback but can also be quite demanding when it comes to new features. It's almost impossible to sell them anything that isn't a lifetime deal, which isn't sustainable in the long term.

Our AppSumo launch was ultimately a success, but it's important for businesses to assess whether the platform aligns with their goals and needs. For those with high infrastructure costs, the short-term revenue boost from AppSumo may not produce long-term gains. However, the exposure from the platform certainly helps boost subscriptions.

Overall, launching on AppSumo comes down to your specific product and what you hope to achieve. We believe the lessons learned from our launch were invaluable and have positively impacted our company's growth.
