How Long It Takes to Rank a Blog with Long Tail Keywords.

Domain authority and popularity of the blog matters in search engine rankings.

The fastest way to rank higher is to make more backlinks. To make backlinks you need awesome content and smart link-building tactics.

From three to six months apparently, even with good content and great SEO optimization and management. Clearscope made a good article about this.

But if you want to make it as fast as possible, then yes, Backlinks are the secret sauce. When it comes to backlinks, the quality is a lot more important than quantity. Bad backlinks can even have negative value - they can mess up your ranking. So:

1. Create content in your Linkreators in mind (aka. bloggers in your industry, cuz they're the ones who have the power & facilities to link to your website)
2. Use proven topics: basically research the hot topics, the 'new best thing' and write about it
3. Write in good content frameworks: these are Guidebooks, Checklists, Extended Lists, Industry Studies and Crowdsourced Manuals
4. Opt for medium-tail keywords: for example, 'content marketing' is too broad, and 'how to increase traffic to websites about paint colors' is too narrow. 'content promotion strategies' would be a medium-tail keyword
5. Use a lot of infographics to make people remember your content and use them in their articles

Hope it helps :)

Hey! Ranking with long-tail keywords can take a few months, but it's worth it. Fastest way? Quality content, on-page SEO, and building backlinks gradually. Patience pays off!
