Top SEO Tactics for Growing Organic Traffic in 2025

Any online business representation, information, news site requires comprehensive promotion. This is the set of activities that will allow them to ensure good visibility in search results, thereby attracting organic traffic to the sites. But anyone who has already worked in this area probably knows that search engine optimization, or as it is also called SEO, is a rather long and complex process. Specialists will have to do a lot of work aimed at improving the structure of the pages themselves, adjusting their text and graphic content, forming good internal linking, and collecting external link mass. And with all this, it is important to strictly follow certain rules that are relevant today for the search engine in which you plan to promote.

Practice shows that moving a site to the top of search results takes on average from six months to a year, or even more. At the same time, it is difficult to assess the correctness of the implementation of certain tasks immediately after their launch. There is always a risk that you will perform various types of work throughout the year, spend time, effort, money on this, but will not get decent results. That is why many specialists develop their own strategies based on current modern trends, constantly monitoring changes in the requirements of search engines. With such a comprehensive and professional approach, the probability of the site getting into the TOP of the search results increases. Moreover, there are a number of points, taking into account which you can reduce the time of promotion of your site down to 3-6 months, while getting a fairly stable and good result.

Here we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the best results in practice are not given by complex, intricate schemes, experimental tools, but by the simplest, intuitively understandable actions. But the problem here is that even despite the presence of relevant knowledge among specialists, these solutions are not always given due attention. Some of them simply do not fall into the field of view of SEO specialists. They simply do not attach sufficient importance to them, do not understand what effect can be obtained from their practical application.

In today's review, we will dwell in detail on how to achieve good results in search engine promotion using proven and reliable methods in the coming months after launching your strategy. We will highlight 3 key points that should become the basis of any SEO optimization that is being launched at the present time and tell you how to implement all this in practice. We will pay attention to such a place on the site as the footer. We will tell you what additional role it can play in search engine promotion, despite its sufficient simplicity. The information provided will allow you to navigate the current trends today, apply them in your own practice, thereby ensuring the fastest and most stable search engine promotion of your resource.

Reliable SEO methods that give results within 3-6 months

Anyone who has already encountered SEO in practice probably knows that we are talking about a fairly long-term perspective here. In principle, you can work for years to see your site at the top of search results and receive well-deserved dividends from this. With all this, the cost of a quality project will constantly increase, bringing a stable and good income to its owner. And here a completely natural question arises: how to make it so that it is your site?

This is especially relevant for companies operating in a highly competitive commercial niche, where there are a large number of other companies that want to get the same results in reality as you? As a result, we find that only those who are ready to spend a lot of time, wait for years for the coveted hit in the TOP, spend impressive budgets on this achieve greater success in this area. For most webmasters, and the sites themselves, all this is an unattainable height. And here it is worth thinking about whether all this is necessary? What will happen if you shift your attention to more mundane goals that can be achieved independently or with minor material investments? Many of you will probably be surprised, but they will help to get the same results as with serious monetary costs, and even in the not so distant future. In this case, we are talking about updating and optimizing the content on the following pages:

1. Those that are not ranked in the TOP-10.
2. Those that were cannibalized.
3. Those that were previously ranked well, but have now lost their positions.

If you do these tasks correctly, then in 3-6 months you will be able to see a transformed page at the top of the search results. Let's consider all these points in more detail so that you understand what work needs to be done in practice.

Updating the content on pages that are not currently ranked in the TOP-10

One of the most common problems that many SEO specialists face is that the main emphasis is placed only on the key landing page. There is some truth in this, since it is the one that will bring the maximum search traffic. And here it is important to identify for yourself a range of so-called promising pages that will be in close proximity to the page that you have designated as the main one in the search results. But still, decent attention should be paid to the sections of the site that are not particularly in demand.

First of all, it is important for you to analyze your pages and identify the main reasons why you are below your closest competitors. And this means that it is necessary to eliminate the identified problems. Expanding existing materials and improving their quality have proven themselves to be effective in practice. Here you should also review the structure itself, make it more convenient and easier to study and perceive.

It is also very important to objectively approach the assessment of your own capabilities. You must understand that the promotion of the first page is mostly carried out by high-frequency queries. This means that with a high degree of probability they are also used by your closest competitors, which ultimately increases their cost and requires more serious material investments from you. Perhaps, it would be more reasonable for you to set more realistic goals for yourself and focus on mid-frequency or even low-frequency keywords. Even if you reach a smaller audience, you will be targeting people who are obviously interested in your products, services, and information. Those who will stay on the site for a long time and carefully study the materials will be provided with a decent viewing depth. And these are the factors that have a direct impact on the ranking of the page and the site as a whole.

In any case, it is important to correctly set your priorities, and then think through a plan for their implementation and systematically move towards the coveted position at the top of the search results. If you value your time and money, then focus on one strategy, and then simply monitor the effectiveness and make timely adjustments.

Update and improve content on pages where cannibalization has been detected

Unfortunately, cannibalization of certain website pages is a fairly common problem. It is common on sites at the top of search results, those pages that are capable of attracting the most targeted organic traffic. That is, we are not only talking about low-quality sites, the development and control of which was not given special attention. And what is especially sad is that you will be competing for a position at the top of the search results not with your competitors, but literally with yourself.

This means that each of you should carefully monitor what entries your pages are ranked by and try to ensure that only one material gets into the index for the same keyword. If you do not pay due attention to this, if content containing the same keywords is published on different pages of your site that get indexed, then two of your pages will compete with each other for a place in the search results for a specific query, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in the position in the results.

That is, at this stage, it is important for you to check your own publications, try to identify similar articles, including those that touch on related topics. If something like this is discovered, then it is in your interests to eliminate such a problem. Alternatively, you can combine both publications into one more expanded and voluminous material, or even delete one of the pages altogether, so as not to harm your site. This way, you will eliminate the creation of potential danger points for high-quality and effective subsequent promotion.

But, as many of you probably already know, it is better to prevent a problem than to deal with its consequences later. This means that you need to minimize the likelihood of cannibalization of your own pages from the very beginning, at the stage of launching the site. The following recommendations will help you implement these works as correctly as possible:

• use branded queries to optimize the main page of your site;
• distribute the collected semantics across all pages, focusing on their content, while excluding repetitions of key queries;
• to minimize problems in the future, implement canonical links on the site, thanks to which the search engine will be able to raise which of the pages with the same type of material will be more important for you and, as a result, it will be launched into indexing;
• it is important to constantly check and update the internal links provided on your site in order to ensure the most accurate binding of the published content to the topic of the page itself;
• to strengthen the thematic binding, use anchor links in the texts: thanks to this, the audience will be able to understand exactly what they will find on the corresponding page if they click on it.

As you can see, these recommendations are quite simple, and it is difficult to implement such technical manipulations on pages of your site will be able to each of you. Moreover, having done everything as correctly as possible, you will be able to better understand the requests of your target audience and provide the most relevant answers to them, and also eliminate problems and difficulties in the work of search bots, thereby guaranteeing high-quality scanning of pages and their trouble-free indexing.

Updating content that was previously ranked well, but has now lost positions

Search results cannot be called static. They are constantly updated, adjusted: some sites lose their position, while others, on the contrary, increase it. In many ways, this is also due to changes in the interests and conduct of the user audience. Here, we also observe increased dynamism under the influence of various external factors, be it a current trend, a large-scale event, an innovative development that has attracted mass attention, etc. Everything is quite logical and explainable here: people are constantly looking for something interesting, new, useful.

We are describing all this so that you understand that even hitting a current topic that is currently collecting millions of views does not guarantee you increased interest from potential clients literally tomorrow or in the foreseeable future. And what can we say about what will happen in a month, six months, a year. Here, as an example, we can cite materials in the field of SEO promotion that collected thousands of site readers literally 3-4 years ago. If you open such sites now, you will see that most of the recommendations that were relevant at that time are no longer used in practice today, and in some cases, on the contrary, can harm your site.

And in reality, there are very, very many such examples. The topics that will remain relevant for a long period of time can be literally counted on your fingers. Everything else changes, and quite dynamically. And it is important for you to adjust your content to these fluctuations. This means that it is in your interests to constantly monitor your own old publications, analyze them, identify discrepancies with current issues and make appropriate adjustments. That is, instead of simply changing the posting date in an old article, it is important for you to check the material itself and update it.

If you are interested, we suggest that you study the material «Old content in the blog» to understand how to deal with long-published articles so as not to harm the site's promotion today.

We strongly urge you not to relax even if you have finally managed to implement everything and your site has ended up at the top of search results. Tomorrow you can lose your positions if you do not pay due attention to maintaining the achieved results. That is, search engine SEO is the work that must be performed regularly and constantly. You have put in a lot of effort to take a decent position and it would be foolish to reduce all these efforts and money spent to nothing. It is important to pursue a much more global and large-scale goal: to attract organic traffic over a long period of time, optimally while the business is operating on the market.

To avoid such problems, it is important for you to periodically analyze the pages of your site, collecting statistical data for several years. Particular attention should be paid to deleting pages that are in the TOP for certain queries. If you find publications that are devoted to irrelevant topics, those where the information is morally or technically outdated, then you need to make the appropriate adjustments. It is important to understand that if at some point in time such pages demonstrated high results, then they have good potential and it must be constantly maintained at a high level. This is your chance to return to the leading positions in the search results for these pages as well.

Do not neglect such an opportunity, since practice shows that returning to the TOP is usually much easier than getting there from scratch. That is, it is important to understand what kind of modernization you can perform on once popular and in-demand articles in order to breathe a second life into them. In most cases, the structure, text and graphic content should be updated. Bet on the trends that are relevant today.

Additional recommendations

To get the highest and most stable results in search engine optimization, it is important to perform all these works with enviable regularity. You must understand that you will not be able to put off the work for a long time. That is, SEO is something that will require maximum effort, time and will not allow you to relax. But all this is in your interests, because otherwise all the previously completed work will literally come to naught.

But if you regularly monitor your site, promptly respond to certain innovations, changes, then you will not have to perform large-scale work and spend additional money on it. Moreover, you do not need to delve into new technologies, use all sorts of complex tools, practices. It will be enough to simply consistently and regularly perform the work that we talked about above. That is, even a novice specialist will not have any difficulties with the implementation of this. The main point will be to constantly work on the content, monitor statistical indicators that allow you to identify problems at the stage of their emergence that can cause serious vulnerabilities on your site.

You should also pay due attention to maintaining the good quality of the technical component of the resource. This is what will allow you to quickly achieve high positions in search results and maintain them for a long period of time. But now we want to draw your attention to another point that often falls outside the field of view of SEO specialists. Here we are talking about such an element of the Internet page as the footer. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that it does not have a direct impact on search engine optimization, but it can significantly improve navigation on the site, which will be useful for both ordinary users and search bots. And this is what will provide significant assistance in promoting your resource.

The fact is that one of the misconceptions of modern SEO specialists is that they consider the footer an element of the past. Why create it at all if few users scroll down to the very end of the page? But if you look into this issue in more detail, a completely different picture emerges. We will also dwell on this point in more detail now, since with its help you will be able to organize the most effective internal linking, which will have a positive effect on the quality of search engine optimization of the project as a whole. And a well-organized footer will also help improve the user experience: people will be able to find important information for them much faster. As a result, behavioral factors are improved, which have a direct impact on ranking in search results.

What role does the footer play for SEO

We repeat once again that the structure and content of the footer itself has a very limited impact on the overall SEO strategy of your site. But it is clearly not worth completely discounting it. One of the most significant advantages of this solution will still be its positive impact on the overall perception of the site by search bots and even regular users. As we have already said above, bots will be able to better understand the structure of your site with its help, but only if you add navigation elements to it.

Google representatives have repeatedly said that their search engine does not see any difference in the links that are placed directly inside the text content and those that you add to the footer. That is, the search engine will count these links as interlinking. At the same time, no one will say that they will contain less weight from the SEO point of view, that they could be ignored by bots. And this means that if you do not want to spend a lot of time and effort on forming an internal link mass, you can implement all this directly in the footer with minimal time and effort.

This will be quite enough for search bots to evaluate and understand the structure of the site, and ordinary users - to find the information that you consider most important for the site and, accordingly, for its users. Moreover, some of the latest studies have clearly shown that the presence of a footer has a significant impact on the speed of scanning the site and, accordingly, on adding its pages to the index. And if you, as an SEO specialist, implement everything as correctly as possible, you can count on a gradual, but at the same time stable growth of positions, bypassing your closest competitors. At the same time, the algorithms will rank your pages higher.

But we repeat once again that in implementation this solution will be the simplest of all possible, which means that it fits perfectly into the strategy that our review today is devoted to, namely, fast and simple search engine promotion of Internet pages. With minimal time and effort, you will be able to implement the upcoming work, even without serious practical skills and knowledge in this area.

Now we will consider a number of key points that you will need to take into account in practice when implementing these works.

Basic rules for using a footer

High efficiency in practice can only be ensured by a high-quality and thought-out footer. It should be easy to use and have good functionality. You can easily add a huge number of different links, interesting visual elements that attract the attention of the audience. In practice, many specialists make a mistake and do not fill it with value to the maximum, fearing excessive overload. But a good footer will easily withstand this without disturbing the overall balance of the page. That is, adding exclusively service links to the footer of the site is a serious mistake that must either not be made at all or eliminated as quickly as possible.

To implement the upcoming work as correctly as possible, it is necessary to approach the design of the footer thoroughly and professionally. Initially, it is necessary to develop a layout and provide for how many navigation elements it will contain. In order for all this to look as organic as possible, to avoid cumbersomeness, when developing a layout, use the following recommendations:

• Drop-down lists. This solution will be especially convenient for fairly large sites with a large number of main and additional pages, attachments. This way, you can fit even a small footer with a huge number of tools that, among other things, also contain benefits for the audience.
• Contextual elements. This is what is designed to increase relevance. It is important to understand that the footer does not necessarily have to be the same on each page. There is no need to develop a single style here. The main thing is that it contains useful information.
• Presence of subheadings. In any case, the content must be correctly formatted. And it does not matter whether we are talking about the main articles or the footer. But here it is also important not to overdo it and include subheadings only where it will be truly useful and valuable for the site.
• Add links to the footer that lead to truly useful and important material. Alternatively, these can be the most popular pages, those that contain useful material for the audience, and clearly reveal the specifics of the brand's work. This can also include useful articles and guides, because they collect the most good user feedback and improve behavioral factors. If we are talking about an online store website, it is quite reasonable to add links to the main categories and subcategories to its footer, which will allow potential buyers to quickly find the products they need. The presence of links to tools and services in the future also works well, simplifying the interaction of site users. But search bots will find it very useful to have an HTML sitemap here, designed to significantly simplify understanding of the structure during site scanning, thereby speeding up the work performed.

Here we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the footer is an addition to the main page and the content posted on it. That is, it should not duplicate what is posted above. This means that you need to think through its content in detail, eliminating repetitions, but significantly improving the user experience. Here you should not be afraid of a too voluminous footer, because thanks to the drop-down list you can make it quite modest visually. Believe me, a person who is looking for the information he needs will not be lazy to click on a couple of buttons to open all the attachments and instantly go to the page he needs. But the visual perception here will be simpler.

Summing up

In today's review, we once again confirmed how search engine promotion is a complex and creative work. But here, by and large, there are not many factors that can provide the fastest possible feedback from the audience, search bots. Significant influence is given to the content itself, the presence of backlinks, internal interlinking. It is noteworthy that some elements work in conjunction with each other and require time to implement, which ultimately delays the receipt of results.

Today we have provided a number of recommendations that you can use to significantly simplify and speed up SEO, ensure not only a guaranteed entry of the site to the top of search results, but also its long-term retention in occupied positions. Here we are talking about optimizing the content itself, increasing its relevance. This is especially important for pages that were previously ranked well, but today have fallen out of the attention of search bots.

We also strongly recommend monitoring the semantics, correctly distributing search queries across pages in order to exclude their cannibalization in the future. But to ensure high-quality interlinking, which will be useful for both search bots and ordinary users, it is worth providing a structured footer on each of the pages. Here you will not get a sharp increase in the site's position in search results, but you will improve the speed of scanning and indexing, optimize UX.

In any case, when working on promoting a site in search results, on maintaining the positions occupied, it is important for you to constantly monitor current trends in the market, keep an eye on your competitors, and adopt best practices.
