How do I rank higher for non-blog websites
Posted by on March 14, 2026 at 8:30 pmHello guys, I am pretty new to SEO, I have been working and researching it for abouth 1-2 months, the reason I got into it is – I am a final year in my bachelor for software engineering and I have started developing websites as a side-hustle/projects, its mainly game website like tools that track progress in certain games ( clash royale specificly ), I also build mini-game websites like wordle and more again for clash royale, and other games in the future.
My question is – how do you rank higher on these type of keywords / websites if there are already established domains that are hard to "de-throne" of course my goal isnt to de-throne them, I just want to rank amongs them. Especially for wordles, is that even doable and should I bother making them ( I will make them anyway ) but yeah.
I hope I could get some advice on that.

most anything you can read about how to do SEO applies. you have to do all of it over time and keep improving. you need content (text on the pages) in order to rank for the keywords. you don’t want low content pages. you sort of don’t know where you stand amongst the other sites for 6-8 months.

Wordle and these types of keywords are very difficult to rank for. It will take you so long to build authority and would have to spend a huge amount of money on links and stuff.
So what i would recommend is that: go for some long tail and niche keywords. Needs to be a micro niche. Buy an EMD and with time you will start getting traction.
Once you are good in KW Research, you will crush it. Recently i made a website live, just 5 days ago, and within these 5 days it has almost ranked and has started getting 150+ daily users.
So the lesson is, always do a better research first A to Z, then launch any website.

For someone who is new to SEO and likely has a $0 budget for backlinks, don’t compete with established domains. Target terms that have extremely low competition and mostly Reddit results in the SERP. Then, repeat x10,000.

one underrated strategy for non-blog sites is parasite SEO through Reddit. Find threads where people are already searching for tools like yours and drop a genuinely helpful comment those threads rank on Google fast and you piggyback on Reddit’s domain authority. I use Reppit AI to find those high-intent threads automatically across gaming subreddits, saves hours of manual searching.
Your Clash Royale tracker could blow up from one well-placed comment on the right thread.

those big sites are tough to beat but sometimes smalller tools win by being more specific. if you build something really useful for a niche part of the gamee people start sharing it and that can slowly push it up in search results
