Can you rank number 1 on Google

[Kane]

I have been writing online regularly since 2010. Some of my early articles managed to rank number 1 on google. That's because I had published high quality articles and back then competition was also not very tough. In the time when my site was ranked number one on Google, I did not know anything about SEO, all I did was to write quality content.

You can be ranked number one for some months or some weeks but there are always new result pages that could have better quality than yours that drop your content website and create another competitor in your place so creating write quality content is always required.

It requires making a site with massive overall SEO power and that costs money that is equivalent to buying a small house or a new car I think (in the USA, in areas where the cost of living is low).

I have had dozens rank number one since 2015. The issue is, it never lasts. Currently, my ranks are down for everything, and my previous number one rank pages are in 3rd, 4th, or even lower. It is frustrating. I am wondering if it is worth updating them to get traffic back or making an entirely new page to piggyback the main one.

There is no one exact formula to rank no. 1 on Google. But targeting the right keywords and audience increases your chances. Besides that high quality and in-depth content is more important. So, I think one's focus must be on quality work and the right keywords instead of worrying about ranking no.1 on Google.
