Best SEO Tips And Tricks For 2018
Are you struggling to increase your organic traffic?
You want to rank higher on Google but don’t know how?
Should you review your SEO strategy?
Do you want to know what are the best SEO techniques that work in 2018?
SEO is an ongoing process and is always changing. Tactics that used to work a few months ago suddenly become obsolete and ineffective usually because of Google’s algorithm updates. That is also the reason why so many website owners don’t realize their SEO strategy is outdated and doesn’t work anymore. That scares people and makes them wanna give up on SEO and focus solely on other sources of traffic like PPC and paid advertisement.
But you should not do that. From my experience SEO traffic converts better than PPC. And although things are changing all the time there are certain aspects of SEO that remain the same. And that has to do with user experience and creating value that lasts. That is why i decided to write this post. To answer all the above questions, gather the best articles and show you that SEO is really not that difficult.
The goal of this post is to collect the best techniques and tips you should definitely know about and use in 2018. In this post, i combine the best guides and resources from some of the world’s best digital marketers and SEO experts. They reveal strategies everyone can use no matter how much you know or you think you know about SEO. Even if you are experienced with SEO you will definitely find tips in this post that will help your website. Take advantage of their expertise and incorporate their tips into your own SEO strategy and improve your traffic and rankings.
You don’t have to become an SEO professional yourself to learn how to effectively use SEO. And it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune to SEO your website. You will be surprised how small changes and simple things can positively affect your SEO rankings. You could also take a look at one of my previous posts “10 Ways To SEO Your Posts” where i describe in-depth 10 easy ways to SEO your content.

Hi Nikos,
Wow! You’ve compiled some powerhouse SEO tips in this article. In my experience, organic search traffic converts best because it’s highly targeted. Building organic traffic can be challenging and take time. Wouldn’t you agree? But I can think of no better approach than copying the strategies and techniques of those who’ve already been successful. Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive guide!
Hello Linda,
I totally agree. Organic traffic is the best kind of traffic. It converts way better. Assuming of course you are attracting the right kind of traffic and not generic traffic.
Thank you for your comment!

Hey Nikos 🙂
I read this whole article and watched the entire video and it was awesome!
Some of the tips I knew but you pointed out a lot of good ones I wasn’t aware of.
SEO is so important and I learned so much. Can’t thank you enough!
Do you feel that there are any specific tips that are more important than others?
Hello Rob,
In my opinion learning the basics of SEO is not that difficult. Other than that i believe creating an SEO strategy and knowing in advance what exactly is that you want to achieve is very important.
This article is really so informative for me nice work keep it up..
This is the first time in a LONG time that I have read an entire blog from start to finish.
I’ve learned a lot from this article and I appreciate all the thoughtful work you put into it.
Your tip “Beyond keywords: What really matters in SEO content” is pretty good!
I will try to implement most of the techniques on my website.
Thanks for the informative and great article!
I found the most interesting part of the article the section where you suggest that keywords may not be enough anymore (Along with the Beyond Keywords article). How things have changed!
I still use a keyword tool, that I pay a monthly subscription for, but I’m amazed at the level of SEO now and how deep it actually goes into your website – do you implement all of the techniques you covered in the article above…or do you just concentrate on a few that you have seen the most success with?
Hello Chris,
I implement a number of the methods mentioned in this post not all of them. But i always like to try new techniques in an effort to improve my rankings and my traffic.
Hi Nikos, Search Engine Optimisation is indeed a minefield. Google seems to change the goalposts every month and I was finding it hard to get my head around.
Knowing where to look for the right information is key so thank you for collating a real library of great and comprehensive info on SEO from some great people.
I feel ready to get back into SEO with the right tools and info at hand.
Thank you
