According to me a blogger should write his posts for his visitors not for Google or search engines. So I will recommend you to maintain quality of your blog post. Don’t write it to rank high. Write it to help visitors.

So it’s better to submit your post manually to them so that your post can rank fast. Your competitor is ranking high because he have submitted his post to various search engines. Try to do the same.

4. There is another way to rank high in search engines and that is Forum Submission. If you could find forums which are used by your competitor then it will be awesome. Try to post in same category with your link.

I will recommend you to find such blogs which offers “Do-Follow” backlinks so that when search engines crawl them, you can rank high.

5. At last but not the least I will recommend you to add trending and catchy words while promoting your post such as, Top Lists, How To…Tutorials, Viral Videos, etc. it will help you to get visitors in no time and these keywords generally rank high.
