Are you one of the niche bloggers that was hit hard by Google’s Helpful Content Rankings?

I am one of the niche bloggers, but I found strategies shared by experts that I appled and that I found helped my keywords get to Page 1 on Google. I link to the source in this article.

The Helpful Content Update experts have shared the results of their study, and based on my observations, these techniques work.

Source of information: Bautman shared Zippy.com’s case study of winners and losers in the HCU update. This article is based on that information and how I saw success in the Search Engine Results Pages when I applied them.

1. Personal Anecdotes: The Game-Changer

Picture this: You’re scrolling through endless articles, and suddenly, one grabs your attention. Why? Because it’s filled with personal anecdotes that make you feel like you’re chatting with a friend. That’s the power of “I” in your content. By sharing your experiences and insights, you not only connect with your audience on a deeper level but also boost your SEO rankings. Readers want to know that you, personally, have tried the strategies you share in your articles. Readers love authenticity, and search engines eat it up too!
