Advice on ranking

So I have been working on my own niche for about 2 years now part time on and off, I have built up a good social media following of around 50K across the major platforms I tend to get around 200-300 hits per day on my website for my market its good and I'm happy.

I publish news stories between 2-4 a day. I am not at a point where brands are coming to me and asking to work with me. I am looking to make my website a little more legit and drive more traffic and social shares and most of all get it really ranked on the search engines. I have a pretty good budget to hand to make this all work. My clients are mostly marketing agencies working for clients who then send me information to post on my website. So know quite a bit about blackhack and my social media accounts and traffic get checked to make sure its legit.

What services would you recommend I know start employing?


Thanks for your time

Work on a redesign to appear as an authority. Identify keywords within your niche that have decent search volumes and find a way to implement these in to your on-site SEO.

Start building quality links, there are many great services here for this. You mentioned that marketing agencies are providing posts to be published on your site - is this a courtesy service?

Thanks for your reply.

I have just done a redesign today. Keywords is a tricky one but I have a few that seem to be ok, been doing the research for a while but will pick a service to maximize this.

The agencies send out a press release to around 8 sites when I have checked so we all have the same content. I do rewrite when I'm allowed, it's a paid service I provide as I'm currently 2/3rd in my market.

Link building that's a question I have. Can you give me a basic rundown of what it really is? I have tried to look online but it goes over my head half the time.
