Quick Tip: Find words people search for on Bing and Yahoo (but aren’t too popular on Google) to make your website show up higher on Google.
Why This Trick Works
- Different People Use Different Search Engines
- Google is the most popular, but Bing and Yahoo have their own fans:
- Bing: Used by older folks (like your parents) and people at work.
- Yahoo: Loved by people checking news, weather, or money stuff.
- Example: Words like “how to fix a leaky faucet” might be searched more on Bing/Yahoo but are easier to rank for on Google.
- Longer Phrases = Easier Wins
- People on Bing/Yahoo often type super-specific stuff, like “best phone for kids under $100.” These phrases are less crowded on Google.
- Bing/Yahoo Data Isn’t Perfect… But Still Useful
- Their numbers might not be exact, but they show trends. Use Google Trends to check if a word is popular year-round.
How to Do It (Step-by-Step)
1. Find the Right Words
Tools You’ll Need:
- Google Keyword Planner (Free tool to see what people search).
- Bing Keyword Tool (Free tool for Bing/Yahoo searches).
- Semrush or Ahrefs (Apps to check competition—like a video game difficulty level).
Pro Tip: Make a list of words from all three tools. Compare them!
2. Pick the Best Words
Look For:
- Bing/Yahoo: Words with 1,000+ searches/month.
- Google: Words with 500–1,000 searches/month.
- Competition: Choose words with a “low difficulty” score (like beating an easy level in a game).
Example:
- Word: “how to study for a math test”
- Bing/Yahoo: 2,000 searches/month
- Google: 800 searches/month
- Competition: Low (like a 2/10 difficulty).
3. Spy on Google’s Top Results
Use Semrush to see what’s already ranking. Look for:
- Old Articles (written over a year ago).
- Short Articles (under 1,000 words).
- Missing Info (no answers to common questions).
What to Do: Write a longer, better article than what’s out there.
4. Write Your Super-Article
- Make It Easy to Read: Use headings like “Step 1” or “Pro Tips.”
- Add Cool Stuff: Pictures, videos, or checklists (like a “Homework Cheat Sheet”).
- Use the Word: Put your keyword in the title and first paragraph.
Example: If you write “10 Fun Ways to Study for a Math Test” with memes and a quiz, you’ll beat boring old articles!
5. Share It Everywhere
- Post snippets on TikTok or Instagram (like a sneak peek).
- Share in Facebook groups (like “Study Hacks for Students”).
- Email it to friends or teachers—they might link to it!
Why This is Cool
- Bing Users Spend More Money: If you write about stuff like “best laptops for school,” Bing users might buy more!
Watch Out For…
- Super Rare Words: Avoid words with less than 200 searches/month on Google.
- Works Best For: School projects, tech tips, health hacks, or travel guides.
Quick Checklist
- Find words popular on Bing/Yahoo but not too crowded on Google.
- Write a better article than what’s already out there.
- Add pictures, videos, or checklists.
- Share it on social media or with friends.
Try it! You might see your website jump to Google’s first page faster than you think.
