Content is always prefer as King because without content the blog is nothing. we all know this and read content importance daily on various blogs.
But, we know what makes it king? No we don’t know, the simple answer isย Quality of content makes itย King.ย
If you’re writing content without proper knowledge and it has lot of grammatical mistakes then this type of content never called asย “King”.
You have to write quality content in order to get better SERP.
Quality content can boost your rankings from zero to hero.
N.B: The very famous Algorithm of Google is Panda, which is especially created to remove every site with Low Quality content and bring High Quality contents in SERP.
Head over to my whole SEO Guide in order to learn whole and most updatedย SEO Techniques.
Table Of Contents
What Is A Quality Content?
A content which is not thin, copied, without grammatical mistakesย and full of fruitful information is known asย “Quality Content”.
Proper Keyword Research
If you’re writing content without Proper Keyword Research then I swear you’ll never get lots ofย Organic Traffic.ย
Many of newbies think that doing Proper Keyword Research notย impact SERP.
But you know what each and every person who knows SEO is doing Keyword Research before writing the content.
We have to take advantage of Keyword Research to get the loads of Organic Traffic.
If you are not aware of this then you don’t know that how to do Proper Keyword Research?
It’s a whole and big topic, So I prefer you to go MOZ’s guide on Keyword Research which contains each and every step, from beginners to advanced.
First learn Proper Keyword Research before doing anything. It’s a necessary thing forย SEO Friendly Content.

Attractiveย Titles
Title plays a vital role in SEO Friendly Content. If you have attractive title then visitorsย more likely to click on your Article.
Here I’m going to give you the popular tipsย for attractive title:
- Using numbers: Using numbers in Title make users to click on that as they got to know that you have the 5 or 10 strategies that is working already.
- Use How-To’s:ย How to’s always works better, visitors like how to posts rather than others. These are also known as popular search queries.
- Keep it catchy:ย A short and accurate title is know as “Catchy Title”. Visitors will get to know what they are searching for.
- Use tools to make attractive title:ย There are many tools to get attractive titles, you only have to give them your keyword and they’ll make an attractive title for you. The most awesome tool that I’m using is Potent’s content idea generator. It’s highly user-friendly and easy to use. If you’re beginners you’ll surely understand how to use it and get attractive titles through it.
- Recently I checked Twelveskip’s post on 100+ย Blog Post Title Templates That Grab Attention. So make use of it, you’ll surely get how you can make catchy and attractive title for your next post.
Copied Content Works?
Copying content never works, If you’re copying contents then believe me youย can not call yourself aย blogger.
Let me give you a simple example, You wrote an awesome content which contains every useful information and someone copied that on his/her site.
What will be your feelings then? I know you’ll likeย what the hell?ย my hard work got copied, same feelings will come to the person from where you copy the content.
Respect others hard work in order to get respected.
If above example not convinced you yet then let me tell you thatย Google is 100 times smarterย than you.
They have Algorithms to check which content is copied.
If you’re doing this stop now and change your habit from copying to writing content.
Forget the past, think about the future!

Writing Less is Not Working Now!
Long gone a days when we say that 500 words content will work.
You all noticed that things are getting change from time to time. The thing which was of 100$ now it’s for 300$, same in the content.
Now you have to write at least 2000+ words to get better rankings in SERP.
It’s also a way to makeย visitors into subscribers.
When they see that your content is good and full of information they’re most likely to subscribe to your blog.
If they love that much then they’ll also share it! It’s really a good strategy to engage visitors.
In my previous days, I use to write 1000 words content but I was not getting that much traffic.
I researched on Google this problem and got to know I was doing all things awesome but the only reason was content length.
I was like Ohh! What I’ve did, I’ve just wasted my time!ย I sold the site and started this site.
From the first day, I promised myself that I’ll write atleast 2000 words content and Alhamdullilah I’m doing this!
You believe or not, it’s working and giving me huge much traffic.
Not getting? Let me give you a solidย research by SERPIQย about content length, below I’m attaching the graph of Top 10 Search Results for 20,000+ keywords which is analyzed by SERPIQ in 2012 but it is still worth.
This is the best example that Google give importance to Content Length.
If you can write 500 words then why not 2500 words.
Like me, promise yourself and start writing at least 2000 words, I promise you’ll see changes in SERP!

Adding Images in Content:
Are you noticing? I’m adding images where necessary, why? It’s a way to stand out and getting readers attention.
It’s also beneficial for getting better SERP, how? Backlinko analyzed one million Google search results and got to know that “Content with at least one image significantly outperformed content without any images.”
Nowadays many people search Images onย Google Image Search, If your image will be there you’ll getting some extra traffic too.
Images are too much beneficial in a reader’s eye as they get attracted by the attractive image, it’s human nature!
Don’t forget the great saying:
[Tweet “Images Speak Thousandsย Of Words”]
You have got that using Images is better but which Image Google loves? The simple answer is Google love images which is unique, SEO friendly and without Copyright.
I want you to check Ankit Singla’s articleย where he discussed each and every way to make your Images Google optimized.
Start using images where appropriate from now.
N.B: Don’t add too much Images in your content, over limiting of anything can become dangerous!
Adding Videos in Content:
Adding videos in your article is too much beneficial.
Nowadays, people like videos rather than text.
Our new generation is too lazy in reading and they love to watch videos. Why not give them what they love.
They’ll love to share that content and they’ll become your subscriber for sure.
Making video and adding that in your content is beneficial in other sense too like you’re getting a free backlink from high authority Video sharing site, like Youtube, Dailymotion etc. and high authority websites are most likely to rank faster than yours.
Add your post link in the description section from which you’ll get a free backlink and extra traffic.
It’s also a great way to compete with your competitors if they’re not using Videos in their articles.
It’s like I revealed a secret tip for all of you, take benefit from it!

Well Structured URL:
A short and exact keyword match URL is always beneficial for you.ย Always try to write only main keyword in URL and make it short as much as you can.
Let’s take an example of an Authorityย blog which isย backlinko, I never saw a lengthyย URL in their contents/pages,ย this example is great enough to make you realize that the creepy and lengthyย URLsย never works.
A short and good URL is not only beneficial for SEO but it’s also beneficial for users to remember URL forย coming next time to your site’s content which they read before (when need arises).
Example of a well structuredย URL is like below:
In this post my title is: “The Proven Guide On SEO Friendly Content Writing!” and my URL is: “https://bornblogger.net/seo-friendly-content/”.
Only put a URL of a keyword you want to rank. This is what I’m using and other Pro Bloggers are using nowadays and getting benefit from it.
Internal Linking:
Internal linking is ranking factor nowadays.
The simple definition of Internal Linkingย is linking to your old contents on a new content from the same website. They mostlyย used in Menu/Navigation on a website/blog.
According to MOZ Internal linking is beneficial in three reasons:
- Internal Linkingย allow users to navigate a website/blog easily.
- Internal Linkingย help in establishing information for the given website.
- Internal Linkingย help to spread link juice around websites/blogs.
It can be also reduce Bounce rate, how? The readers will more likely to visit the link you’ve gave to your new content. In this way a visitor will spend more time on your blog/website and your bounce rate will reduce.
It has one more advantage, When they click the link of your old article which you gave to your new article then yourย Page Viewsย will increase.
As MOZ already said Internal Linkingย help to spread link juice, it also can be beneficial to get your content indexed from your new content which is not already indexed as Google Bots crawl the whole article along with the links.
You can see in this article I’m Linking to my old articles.
Take advantage of Internal Linking, you’ll surely get benefits and better SERP.
Linking To Other High Authority Website’s Articles:
Nowadays bloggers thinking only Backlinks are important, Backlinks are important I know but linking to other high authority websites is also very important.
Why? It has two major benefits the first is in terms of SEO and the second is you’ll gain trust in users eyeย about the information you gave is really fruitful.
N.B: ย Only link to high authority websites like WikiPedia, Quick Sprout etc. if you link to low authority or spammy websites then Google will surely going toย consider your Article as Spam.ย
You can see infect in this article I’m linking to others many times because I love to link to other high authority sites.
One more thing, don’t link others if their contents are not related to your blog’s content.
Conclusion
This is all what I’m using to rank my contents in Search Engines. I think this guide will make your content a SEO Friendly Content.
I’m really doing all these things to make my content SEO Friendly Content except Making Video Tutorials.
But I’m gonna do that for sure after sometimes as it’s so helpful.

Dear Samad!
I really love your articles. Could you please help me to find keyword competition? As you know keyword revealwer is no longer providing free services ๐ do you know any tool which can provide us keyword competition without any limitation?
Waiting for your response,
Thank you!
Hey Shoaib,
There are no Keyword Tools I know which can provide free services.
Buy some tools, if you need to do some high quality work.
Stay blessed! ๐
Hey Abdul,
The site encourages great writing and a superior experience for the reader in several ways; its all-star editorial team that curates content and commissions a small amount of articles, its algorithm that pushes the best pieces to the top of our feed and lets the subpar stuff float to the bottom and a dedication to beautiful, simple design.
Mediumโs algorithm prioritizes quality over the date something was published the site disobeys one of the most long-standing blogging norms that content appears in reverse-chronological order, with the latest post on top. On Medium, the content that is made most visible is not necessarily the most recent, but it is almost certainly the best.
With best wishes,
Amar kumar
