The formula to get #1 on Google" – Myth or Truth?

"The formula to get #1 on Google" – Myth or Truth?"




🔹 1. Introduction – Shop of Lies: Greed for Google Rank #1 in Blogging


Nowadays the craze of blogging has increased so much that every other person thinks – “Just create a blog, do SEO, and get the #1 rank on Google.” YouTube, Instagram, and even blogs are filled with this claim:

> “Take my secret formula and get on the first page of Google!”

But the truth is that Google ranking is not a magic trick, nor is it a 24-hour formula. It is a long-term strategy based game in which you have to understand the algorithms of the search engine, and provide genuinely valuable content for the readers.

 Many new bloggers get demotivated in the early stages because they have heard this from some YouTube guru:

"Just enter keywords and you will rank!"

"Get it written by AI and earn money in less time!"

"Buy backlinks and you will get a blast of traffic!"

All this is either a lie or half truth. Google is not a child who can be fooled by keywords and backlinks. Today Google has AI, user behavior tracking, and deep analysis tools that instantly catch duplicate, low-quality, and manipulative content.

 In this blog, we will explain step-by-step:

What does it take to get the #1 rank on Google?

Is there a real formula?

And if there is, what is it?

And what mistakes should we avoid?

This article is for those people who want real growth, not fake expectations.


🔹 2. What is Google Ranking – Short Summary for Beginners


If you are new to blogging, then first of all it is important to understand what is the meaning of Google ranking. When you search for anything on Google – like “best phone under 20000” or “how to start blogging” – then Google shows you links to many web pages. These links are arranged in a specific order. The one which is on top is considered to be at #1 position.

Now the question arises that how does Google decide which blog will come at #1 and which on the second page?

 Google's main goal is:

> "Give the user the best and relevant answer to his question."

To achieve this goal, Google checks a lot of things:

Content quality - is what is written informative or just stuffed?

Keywords - does the content contain the same words that the user is searching for?

Website trust - is the blog or site genuine or spammy?

User Experience (UX) - is the website mobile-friendly? Does it load quickly?

Engagement - do people stay on that page or go back immediately?

 There is another term: SERP (Search Engine Results Page)
This is the page where search results are displayed. Your goal is to get to the top position in SERP, where CTR (Click Through Rate) is the highest.

When your blog comes at the #1 position on a keyword, then:

You get more traffic

More people read it

There are more chances of your income increasing (AdSense, affiliate or sponsored)

But there is no shortcut or formula behind this #1 ranking – it is a combination of content, SEO, consistency and patience.


🔹 3. Common lie of coming on #1 – which every beginner falls for


When a new person starts blogging, his first aim is:

> “I want to come on the first page of Google… and that too quickly!”

Thinking this, he starts watching YouTube, reels, and short courses. Here he gets some popular lies or misleading tips, in which he gets caught. Let’s bust these common lies one by one:


❌ Lie #1: Blog will rank only with Keyword Stuffing

Many people say:

> “Just put the keyword 10 times in the article, rank is sure!”

 But in 2025 Google has become so smart that it considers keyword stuffing as spam. The ranking of such content falls or never goes up.


❌ Lie #2: Use AI Article Generator, Write 100 Blogs in a Month

Yes, AI tools help — but if you are writing articles without editing, without soul, just relying on AI, then Google ignores it considering it “low-value content”. Human touch, intent and depth are still king.


❌ Lie #3: Buy Backlinks, You Will Get Rank

Many YouTubers say:

> “Get backlinks from Fiverr or any other site.”
 Paid backlinks can help in the short-term, but as soon as Google catches the unnatural activity of those backlinks, your blog gets penalized or de-ranked.


❌ Lie #4: Copy-Paste Content will bring traffic

Some people copy content from other blogs and publish it after doing some minor editing. Google has duplicate content checker and AI detectors. Your blog will never build trust if you stay away from originality.


❌ Lie #5: Just write a viral post, life will become

Not every blog goes viral. And even after going viral, if you don't have any more valuable content, people will read it once and then leave. Blogging is not a viral game, it is a valuable game.


Truth: Blogging is a skill, not a shortcut

There is no "ready-made formula" to get to #1 on Google.

If someone is telling you that "I will get you #1 ranking in 7 days", understand that he is either lying or putting your blog at risk.


🔹 4. How does Google's real algorithm work in 2025?


If you seriously want to succeed in blogging, then it is mandatory to understand how Google's algorithm works. Because until you do not understand the thinking of Google's mind, you will not fit into it.

Google's job is not just to show search results - its mission is: "To give the best possible answer to the user." And to achieve this mission, Google uses AI-based complex algorithms, which judge every blog and web page on the basis of 200+ ranking factors.

 Here are some key algorithms and signals that Google follows in 2025:


🔍 1. E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)


Google looks at:

Has the writer shared his own experience? (Experience)

Does the writer seem to be an expert in his field? (Expertise)

Is the website's reputation strong? (Authoritativeness)

Is trust being built in the content? (Trustworthiness)

If you are writing in any health, finance, or sensitive niche, then E-E-A-T becomes even more critical.


⚡ 2. Helpful Content System


Google launched an update in 2023-24 named "Helpful Content Update".

This algorithm ranks only those blogs:

Which solve the user's problem

Which provide original and first-hand information

Which has value, not clickbait


📱 3. Mobile Friendliness & Page Speed


If your blog is not opening properly on mobile or is taking more than 3–4 seconds to load, then Google will ignore you. Fast, clean and responsive design has now become a must.


🔄 4. User Engagement Signals


Google checks:

How long did the visitor stay on your page?

Did he explore other pages or not?

Is the bounce rate low or high?

The better the user behavior, the stronger the signal to Google that your content is useful.


🔗 5. Content Structure and Schema Markup


If the headings, lists, tables, FAQs of your article are in proper structure, then Google understands them well.

Google also shows snippet with schema markup (like FAQ schema) – which increases CTR.


All these factors have a combined impact on your ranking position.

 It is better to create content by understanding all these systems rather than searching for shortcuts - only then you will be able to earn real and sustainable traffic.


🔹 5. 10 Small Things That Really Help You Rank


People always run behind big strategies – backlinks, AI tools, paid ads, viral tricks.

But the real magic of Google ranking is in those small and simple things, which people often ignore.

If you follow these 10 things properly, your blog will rank stable and long-term – without any fake shortcuts.


✅ 1. Strong Title & Meta Description


The first thing a user sees is your title and description. If it is not click-worthy, then whether your blog is at #3 or #5, CTR will be low.

Use numbers, emotions, or promises in your titles. 

Example: “2025 Me Blogging Ka Sach – Kya Aapka Sapna Jhooth Hai?”


✅ 2. Keyword Placement – Smart, Not Spammy


Don’t put keywords just for the sake of it.

Use them in the title

First 100 words

1-2 times in the heading

And naturally throughout the content

But don’t do stuffing at all, otherwise the rank can fall.



✅ 3. Internal Linking


Linking your old blog posts to the new blog – this gives a signal to Google that your blog is a network of useful pages.

Also, it helps users stay longer = better engagement = higher trust.


✅ 4. Fast Loading Theme


Speed is SEO.

Use lightweight Blogger/WordPress theme.

 Compress images, avoid extra plugins.

Google loves fast websites – if your blog loads in 2 seconds, it gets an edge in ranking.


✅ 5. Match User Intent


Google doesn’t just look at keywords these days, it checks whether the user’s question is being solved or not.

Example:
If a user searched for “best laptop for students” — you will have to provide specs, price range, comparison, everything.


✅ 6. Use Original Images


Everyone uses free images, but if you use your own images, infographics or screenshots, Google gets a signal of originality.

Plus, Google Images also give ranking.



✅ 7. Author Box and About Page


Google wants to know: “Who is writing all this?”

Writing a proper author bio, photo, and experience helps in building E-E-A-T.

Write clearly on the About page:

Who are you

What expertise do you have

Why should you be trusted


✅ 8. Long-Form & Deep Content


Nowadays short blog posts do not rank.

If you are explaining a topic in depth (1500+ words), with examples, FAQs, lists – then Google thinks “This is the best answer.”



✅ 9. Question-Based H2/H3


When you write headings in question format, like:

> “How to start blogging in 2025?”

So Google thinks that this is an FAQ-like answer – and the chances of showing it in the snippet increase.


✅ 10. Schema Markup (Structured Data)


This is a bit technical, but by using simple tools like Rank Math, Blogger’s manual FAQ schema, you can come in rich results of Google.
This increases both visibility and CTR.


🔹 6. SEO is NOT Instant – This is a Long Game brother


If you are thinking that after 7 days of writing a blog you will get #1 position on Google…

Then brother, welcome to reality check.

SEO is a marathon, not a race.

This is a game of patience, planning, and persistence – and the biggest mistake in this is wanting quick results.


⏳ Google needs time to build trust


Google first observes a new blog:

Is it updated regularly?

Does this blog have value-based content or copy-paste?

Are people reading it?

Is its bounce rate low?

 If your blog is consistent, Google gradually builds trust.

Normally:

It takes 3–6 months for a new blog to become visible.

It takes 6–12 months for stable organic traffic to come.

And sometimes it takes 1+ year to come in top 5 on a competitive keyword.


💡 New Blog = SandBox Period


Yes, this is an unofficial term.

Google does not rank new blogs immediately, rather it keeps them in a “testing phase” — where it sees:

Is the blog trustworthy?

Is the user experience good?

Is the bounce rate high or not? No matter how good your content is, the rank is not stable during this period. 



❌ If you use shortcuts, it will cause harm


When many new bloggers do not get results, they:

start taking paid backlinks

do keyword stuffing

start putting duplicate or spin content

Even if they get traffic in the short term, Google detects it and also penalizes.

And if a “manual action” is taken on the blog, it becomes very difficult to recover.

 

✅ Real Bloggers' Formula: Consistency + Quality


The bloggers who are earning money in real, they:

Posted content every week

Followed SEO practices

Gave value to the user

Kept patience

And this will work in approach 2025 as well.

🔹 7. #1 Ranking = Mindset Game, Not Just Technical SEO


Blogging is not just a game of adding keywords, making backlinks, or writing meta tags - it is a game of mindset.
The blogger who does blogging only by relying on SEO tricks, gets shaken after every Google update.
But the one whose focus is on value and solving the user's problem, he survives every time - and also ranks.


🧠 Mindset #1: Don't think of ranking, think of helping


Before writing every post, ask yourself a question:

> “Is my article solving someone's real problem?”
 If yes, then you are aligned with Google's algorithm.
If not, then there is no point in just chasing rank.

Google promotes only those pages whose intention is to help, not just to earn money.

 

🧠 Mindset #2: Blogging = Long-Term Asset Building


Today you write a blog, tomorrow another one, then another one…

After 6 months you have a library that:

Draws traffic from Google

Builds people’s trust

Generates lifetime income for you

But if you have come to blogging to earn money quickly, then you will get tired, frustrated, and quit.



🧠 Mindset #3: Every Update Is an Opportunity


Whenever Google brings an update, 90% bloggers complain.
 But those who are smart bloggers, they understand the meaning of updates, and optimize their content accordingly.

Result?

You rank in the place of those who fell.



🧠 Mindset #4: Be a Creator, Not a Copycat


It is fine to see other blogs, but copying is the death of blogging.

Learn your unique voice, your style and to write your own story.

Whatever is original — that is the long-term success.



It is possible to be #1 in blogging — but only for those who see blogging with a “business + service” mindset, not just a shortcut.


🔹 8. Can people really become crorepatis through blogging? Or is it just a marketing hype?


This question comes to the mind of every new blogger:

> “Can people really earn crores through blogging, or is it just a trap of YouTubers?”

The truth is that yes, people have become crorepatis through blogging.

But as easy and glamorous as you are shown in YouTube shorts or reels – it is not that simple in the real world.

 💸 The Truth of Crorepati Bloggers – But With Years of Struggle


Those who are earning 10 Lakh – 1 Crore+ from blogging, have:

Worked consistently for 4–5 years

Faced every Google update

Optimized every content

Explored everything – Affiliate, Ads, Digital Products

Builded their own authority, created email list

This was not an overnight success – it was the compound result of daily hard work.

⚠️ Fake Case Studies & Edited Screenshots – Beware!


Some people on YouTube show a screenshot of their AdSense income of 1–2 lakh and say:

> “Earned 3 lakhs in just 3 months!”

This is edited, cropped or shown without context.
 I don’t tell you:

This blog of theirs is 5 years old

Or they were driving paid traffic

Or this is someone else’s screenshot

Don’t fall into such traps.

✅ Real Bloggers’ Formula for ₹1 Lakh/Month+ Blogging Income


People who are really earning, they create multiple income streams:

1. Google AdSense or Adsterra – Passive display ad income

2. Affiliate Marketing – Promote product and earn commission

3. Digital Products – eBooks, courses, templates

4. Sponsored Posts – Brand collaboration

5. Email List Marketing – Repeat offer to audience

6. Freelance Services – SEO, content writing etc.

The combined power of all these is used. People who depend only on AdSense never reach a stable income.

💡 Will you become a Crorepati? Yes, but follow the process


If your intention is genuine, you are consistently giving value, learning and can spend 1 year in blogging without any result -
Then yes, you can earn up to ₹1 Lakh/Month from blogging.

And if the same momentum continues for 3-4 years, then crores are also true.


🔹 9. Final Reality Check for Beginners Starting Blogging in 2025


If you want to start blogging in 2025 or have just started — then the most important thing is: balance of “Expectation vs. Reality”.

YouTube shorts and Instagram reels only show you success — but the real journey of blogging is quite different from them.

This section is written with a brutal honesty — so that you can get not only motivation but also direction.


🎯 Reality #1: Starting a blog is easy, but surviving is difficult


Today, creating a blog is just a 10-minute job.

 Free themes, free hosting (Blogger), free content ideas – everything is available.

But:

Writing every day

Optimizing every post

Surviving 6 months without traffic

Adapting with every new update

All this is hidden in reels.

Blogging is a passion + profession – not just a shortcut to earn money.



📊 Reality #2: Traffic will come, but it will come with fear


If you are writing genuine content, learning SEO, and you have patience – then 100% your blog will rank.

 But:

It takes 3–6 months for initial traction

It takes 6–12 months for daily organic traffic

And sometimes after a year, one of your posts goes viral which changes everything

Blogging = the master game of “Delayed Gratification”.


💼 Reality #3: Blogging can become a full-time career – but with a structured approach


If you are thinking of doing blogging part-time and earning lakhs in 2 months – then blogging will shatter your dream.

 But if you:

have understood your niche

are writing a quality post every week

are investing in learning

are maintaining consistency

then blogging can give you part-time income in 1 year

and full-time freedom in 2–3 years.


🔑 Success Mantra for 2025:


👉 Blogging is popular in 2025 — but not “copy-paste” blogging

👉 Take help from AI tools — but human touch and real experience is a must

👉 Enter blogging as an educator, not a salesman

👉 Don’t consider every new update as an enemy, understand the direction

👉 Enter blogging considering it a 2–3 year project — only then will you get the result



🔚 Conclusion: What is the truth of blogging?


It is possible to become a crorepati through blogging —
but it is not a shortcut, it is a systematic journey.

 If you really want to help, want to search, and have the patience to write for a year without any result - then blogging can give you everything you are thinking of: Money, Purpose and Freedom. > “Get out of clickbait, understand the real game - only then will you really enjoy blogging.”
