Blog SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
is one of the most important factor to take attention about and also important
to learn by a blogger. Every blogger try to improve their blog SEO performance
by various methods, as there is many reasons to get organic traffic more than
referral traffic. So, here in this article I will tell you few basic SEO
techniques to improve your blog SEO but remember that this is not a full guide;
here are only few tips which everyone must know and also is important to
improve SEO.
Tips to improve your blog SEO:
Words:
Always try to write articles which
goes over three hundred words to improve attention to your blog by search
engines crawlers. However you may know write such article when you are sharing
widgets, templates etc. so it is best to describe others that’s features and
why they should use it. It is important to improve your blog SEO.
Keyword in the Title, description and
link:
Including keyword in title,
description and link of your article will increase more chances of showing your
article in better place. Also I highly recommend this to you to follow, as many
of search engines use this pattern to arranging the place of results. So it is
beneficial for your blog SEO also.
Keyword Stuffing:
Never stuff keywords. Many peoples
think that if they use lots of keywords than their blog will get huge traffic
from search engines, while it will lower there blog’s traffic. I recommend that
you use maximum three keywords, however I use only one.
Also if the topic you have written
about is not famous and you cannot think about its keyword, then it would be
better to not use keyword because if you use any unrelated keyword than that
will also of no use, as search engines will start thinking that the article is
spamming them.
If you also use your keyword(s) on
your article many times than it can also be bad for your blog SEO. Keeping the
density of keywords from 1-2% is important, if you are keeping the keyword
density above or below that, then it is not good for SEO.
Keyword in Heading Tags:
Makes sure to include the keyword in
heading tags which means you should add your key to heading tags H2-H6, it will
also help your blog’s article to come a little in better place.
Bold Keywords:
Bold at least one of your keyword
which you have used on your blog. By keeping your keyword(s) in bold you let
search engines know that the word is important, so they try to target visitors
for that word. However I do not recommend that you bold the same keyword many times,
as it may affect your visitors’ experience.
Image Alt tag:
Always be sure to include images with
alt tag and also use the keyword which you have used on your article on your
image’s alt tag. There are many peoples who search for images and if they found
your blog article’s image than they probably also visit on your blog.
Advertisement:
Keeping lots of ads on your blog will
also affect your blog SEO, so it is better to not keep many advertisements on
your blog. If you have many ads than it will also affect your visitors’
experience as no one likes so many ads on any site.
Also before using any ad network
always search reviews about them, about did they affect SEO. There are few ad
networks which may affect your blog SEO, while few ad networks like Google
AdSense, Infolinks etc. didn’t affect any blog SEO.
Description:
Having description is also important
because if you didn’t put description on your article than the search engine
crawlers will put any sentence from your article and that may also irrelevant
to your users. So peoples may ignore your blog article, while when you use
description on your articles you will be sure that search engine users will see
the relevant description and it will increase CTR (Click through Rate) of your
SEO too.
If you are using Blogger blogging
platform than you can set the description easily from their and if you are
using WordPress than you can use plugins, like WordPress SEO by Yoast.
Google Adword: Keyword Planner:
You can use Google Adword Keyword
planner to find best keywords. Google Adword: Keyword Tool is also popular but
as Google will soon shut down that, I am not including link for it. By using
this you can find most searched keywords from global and various locations
monthly and can put on your article. Many of bloggers are even use this tool to
get ideas for their latest post. Click here
