Question About Starting a Blog and Getting Traffic

Ive been feeling the same way about Google quality content distinguishing skills as well.

About two years ago I started working doing SEO & Web Dev work for a roofing contractor. They have two owners and two sites. Almost by accident I only added content and didn on site SEO on one site, while the other site I did the full on site off site SEO treatment. Six months or so later, I noticed the site I primarily focused on on page SEO and content was seeing almost three times the traffic as the other site with mediocre content and tons of offsite backlinking and engagements.

Took on another client, a pool cleaning company. Did Zero off site SEO and only focused on quality content (like how to information and DIY references) and user the experience (super easy navigation, great load times, no on page errors etc). Within 5 or 6 months they started ranking really well consistently.

Im no Guru by any means and I am not 100% sure what Google is up to, but this is the first time Ive seen someone say what Ive been thinking about for some time.

Google must have some crazy algorithms to rank content this way

Promoting your content INCLUDES building backlinks

Gone are the days of simple BLOG and PING with no link outreach/link building

Hey, I've been watching a bunch of YouTube videos from incomeschool on how to start a blog. Their videos teach that if you write at least 30 articles that should be enough to start getting decent traffic.

Is this true that you basically pick any subject outside of money making and beauty / weightless and write 30+ good articles and get traffic? They say that the traffic increases exponentially as Google trusts your site.

It seems to good to be true? IDK I'm kind of skeptical that just writing articles and waiting would make you rank and get traffic?

In full disclosure, Ive been working on the @meathead1234 [Method] Make $1000 a Month With Amazon - Newbie Friendly [Phase 5a Published!] since signing up to BHW wondering if I should split test one of the sites I am working on. Reassuring to know the method, in whole or in part, is still effective.
 
You should build links to rank on google, but this is a long term process. if you want to get traffic quickly then you can get them from Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, etc.
