Add Keywords to Meta and Post

When you add keywords, make sure that they don’t appear stuffed. To get ranked on Google, try adding related keywords in your content with similar search value.

Deliver

Write for others

It’s also ideal that you comment on blogs. However, ensure that the blogs are relevant to your niche. In this way, you can prevent your site from being flagged by Google. This trick will also improve your bounce rate. In other words, make sure that your comment is related to the topic and leave a meaningful comment.
