What is up with Ghost's SEO?
This is so confusing. I don't know what is up with Ghost's SEO.
I have the title, meta, and everything set to my name. But when I search up my name it just won't show up. it shows us when I added .com behind my name.
Can someone help me and others who struggle with the same problem out here?
My website: https://kanglelin.com
Keyword: Kangle Lin
I've found that ahrefs is a really good resource to brush up on SEO basics. https://ahrefs.com/blog/seo-basics/
I read that, and applied.. But i think ghost is super weird, it still wont work
Build some organic links to it. No links = limited Search Engine presence.
Don't just spam them though, there is a lot of guides on how to do it.
Not quite sure if I understand it. Do u have recommended article links?

It can take weeks to months for SEO to catch up. Don't expect instant results.
I see... got u man, it's only been up for about a month
@kanglelin - I found your homepage in Google SERPs when I used "Kangle Lin" (with quotes). There were 45 total results, and your homepage was around in the 25th-26th position.
Also, your site is being indexed by Google. Just use the following in the Google search bar:
site:kanglelin.com
That will show you all the pages from your website that are in Google's index. Currently I see 8 results. So if you have more than 8 pages total on your site, you'll need to use Google Search Console to submit each of the pages/articles to Google, or wait for G to index those other articles
Wow man super useful, thank you!
How can I boost it from 25th to the 1st? I want that really bad right now
More than likely you'll need to establish some backlinks to your site using your name as the key phrase anchor text.
You may also want to include your website somewhere in your LinkedIn profile, since your LI profile ranks pretty high for your name.
If you really want your personal website to be found solely by using your name, and rank high in SERPs, you'll need to either (1) Build up the content on your site where it uses your name within the content or (2) Build backlinks to your site that uses a combination of your name and and URL -- so it looks natural or do both.
The good news is that it seems as though your name is pretty unique, so you have that going for you.
I searched G for your name not using quotes and there are only 81 results, and your website shows up around in the middle.
i certainly did 1, but I havent done 2 coz idk how. How do I buid backlinks?
One other thing -- if you're looking to build a platform like Pubb.at, then all this is going to be relevant to you to build exposure and traffic to that platform.
I know we're discussing getting traffic to your personal site using your personal name, but you'll have to go through a similar process if you want to build awareness of and traffic to Pubb.at.
I think pubb.at ranks at #1 rn if u type in the name. Not too worried yet
but thx for the remind tho
I'd recommend doing some searches related to "how to build backlinks" or "building backlinks".
You can narrow your searches to certain domains, like I showed you above, where you can do something like "backlinks site:ahrefs.com" or "backlinks site:seojet.com", allowing you to search for pages on those sites specifically related to the topic of backlinks.
There are several people/brands that cover this topic in depth, like: Neil Patel, SEOJet, Ahrefs, Moz, SEMRush -- just to name a few. Once you start searching, you'll find others.
Building good clean backlinks is mostly about having great content on your site that people want to share. Or you having a particular specialty that people mention, and link back to you.
It's all about the VALUE you provide. The more value you provide, the more likely it is for people to want to backlink (or link) to your site from theirs.
so is it basically ppl put ur site in their site? like mention kanglelin.com?
Exactly.
Got it thx man!
Is the site indexed?
No, how do I do that? I requested on google. But still not indexed yet. Any suggestions on how to get indexed?
