Can I ask you a question? Have you ever wondered when you do a search on Google what makes those articles appear on the first page? Don’t you think it can help your business if your website and your content could appear on the first page of the search engines too? Would you like to learn how to get on the first page of Google search?
In this article I will show you what skills you need to develop for that to happen. I will go further than that and provide you with links to 6 hour long webinars given by an expert in this field, Jay Neill, who is the live training coach on Wealthy Affiliate. Once you learn the skills taught by Jay and implement them, I am certain you will start to see some of your articles appear on the first page too.
And that will take your business to a whole new level.
The starting point to rank higher in Google, Bing and Yahoo search is Keyword Research.
Keyword – The Path To Ranking
What is a KEYWORD? It is the phrase that people use to search for something on the Internet. In affiliate marketing that is usually a product or service, or information on these products and services you have written content about in a blog post.
There are 5 parameters that define the qualities of a keyword as follows:
- Avg: The average number of searches that the keyword receives each month
- Traffic:Visits to your website if you receive 1st page rankings in the Search Engines
- QSR: Quoted Search Results – The number of competing websites ranked in Google for this exact keyword
- KQI: Keyword Quality Indicator – Green is GREAT, Yellow is OK, Red is POOR
- SEO: Search Engine Optimization – A score from 1-100 based on
When one is starting out to create an affiliate marketing business, the most important parameter is the 3rd one above. It is necessary to use a keyword that has a number of competing websites less than 50. At this phase of your business, your website will not be considered an authority site.
If the competition is much higher, then the probability of landing on the first pages of the search engines will be slim. After one’s business has become an authority site, it will be OK to compete with more websites.
the next parameter to address is the 1st. Here you want to have a large a number as possible. Ideally greater than 100. However, if such a keyword also competes with more than 100 websites, then ratcheting the Avg number around 50 is OK.
At the early phase of your business, I wouldn’t worry too much about the 2nd parameter. Anything above 10 will be just fine.
It is always necessary that the KQI is the color green. No exceptions here.
Finally, it is important to have an SEO value greater than 85 for the 5th parameter.
One of the best Keyword research tools is Jaaxy.
The purpose of this article is to show what you need to do to rank on the 1st page of Google and the other search engines such as Bing and Yahoo. Now that I have explained the basics of a Keyword let’s proceed to the webinars I Promised you.

Hello there! Thank you very much for sharing this article on how to get on the first page of google search. I find it very helpful because coming across it has made everything easier. I like the fact that if I don’t want to go premium there’s an alternative for wealthy affiliate and I appreciate you for dropping it. I’ll try it out and come back with feedback. I’ll also do my best to share with people who also wants this information. Thank you.
Hellp Sophie,
Glad to hear from you. I would like to make a couple of points. You can only go so far by not upgrading to Premium. Once you hit that barrier it will be necessary fo upgrade to access all the training you need. The beauty is you do not have to do that until you need to.
All the best to you.
Edwin

Hello,
There are many ways to get your site to be on the first page of Google and surely, it’s not something you do overnight. There is a step by step process the requires hard work for it to pull through. One very efficient means is the flow of traffic to your site and you get traffic from various sources but using the right keywords have been very productive. Nevertheless getting the right search engine to provide that have been my major challenge
Hellp Reece,
You are correct about the time and effort necessary to do this successfully. Did you review the 6 webinars I listed that teaches you exactly HOW to do this? I would love to hear what you think of this training.
Cheers.

Hi,
From my online findings on how to get on the first page of google search this can be achieved by determine your keywords, determine which search queries you want Google to answer with your website pages, tell Google what keywords you’re using, write for humans, emphasize location, optimize for mobile, focus on user experience. These also determine choosing a keyword, check the competitors, choose or create a page that aligns with search intent, make sure your content covers the topic in full, estimate how many backlinks you need, build more backlinks and add internal links, be patient.
Thank you.
Aluko.
Hi Aluko,
