The world of SEO is a constantly-evolving series of tactics and actions that requires persistence and dedication in order to make progress. Search engines, social media, paid advertising and content creation all play critical roles directly or otherwise in the wide, wide web of SEO, which makes it difficult for some to juggle all effectively. Much like with any aspect of daily life, keeping a routine creates better long-term outcomes for the individual in due time. Since SEO requires persistence and dedication, leveraging these daily routines into the concept of SEO only makes sense. Below, we’ll outline ways in which you can improve rankings, earn links and boost traffic by acting daily.

Create a Piece of Content

Depending on your niche, the level of detail your brand provides and the dynamics of the day, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to create a valuable piece of content in the form of an article, blog post or infographic. Since content creation is the most effective way to please search engines and drive traffic to your website, it only makes sense that this be the first and most important part of your daily routine. Whether you opt for blurbs or longer-form content is up to you, but more detailed content is better at pinging search engines for higher rankings. In addition, your existing readers will be pleased to find out that they can check in daily for new content!

Quickly Crawl Social Media

Whether you post the daily article you’ve just written, the one from the day before, or something entirely different, spending a few minutes each day posting to social media will boost social signals and traffic to your website substantially. In many cases, you can even link all of your social media profiles to one account or platform, allowing you to make the same post to each social media network simultaneously. In addition, scheduling options can be considered that will permit you to set up these posts in advance, eliminating the need to do the physical act of posting every single day. If you have the time, however, customizing posts for each social media account is ideal, but most importantly, be sure to have your social media accounts pinging search engines with new posts daily.

Contribute to a Forum

There are likely multiple forums out there that overlap with the topics and themes your website or blog covers. An easy and valid way in which to build links and share information with interested audiences is to spend a little time each day providing insight on one of these forums. So long as you are conservative about sharing links to your blog and they match with the questions that others may have, there is no reason why you cannot build links in this productive fashion. Some forums will even allow you to link to your blog or website in your signature or through your profile, helping you to garner additional links off-site. A few minutes each day can go a long way toward bolstering traffic and improving search engine relations via this method.
