Simple Tips For Optimizing Your Blog For Search Engine Traffic
Many bloggers believe they don’t need to SEO optimize their blog because they have no clue as to how to go about optimizing their blogs. Failing to bring in targeted traffic is one reason many bloggers stop trying to make money online and go off doing something else.
If they only understood how easy it was, they might have a chance. All it takes is just three easy steps. These three steps can increase browsers to your site which may make the difference between a blog that creates its owner little if any income or a blog that creates wealth for the Blogger.
Here are a few simple tips to optimize every post you write and take advantage of free search engine traffic.
For starters, you should make absolutely sure that your blog post addresses are SEO friendly. If you use a free blog service like Blogger, this is automatically done for you. If you use WordPress, then set your url structure so that WordPress will produce search engine optimized url’s when you create a blog entry.
The way you do this in WordPress is go to the Permalinks tab, and click the radio button next to the Custom field. Then you’ll put a percentage sign followed by the words Postname. {Immediately after the words postname, Now} add another percentage sign. You’ve now ensured that all your post will have search engine optimized addresses.
Next, your main keyword should be in the Title of the blog. Let’s say you’re blogging about how to make fast money, then you’ll want these keywords in your Blog’s title. Don’t put something like Johns Blog. If your name is John and you have a blog named Johns Dog Blog, then you’ll rank higher than if you name your blog something that does not relate to your main keyword.
The next requirement is to use your keywords in the Post’s title. If you want blog readers to click on your post about using Ebay to make money at home, then your keywords need to be in your post title. Forget about using non relevant titles like How I Make Money With Auctions. The search engines won’t know what your post is about and the search engine traffic you need won’t appear. This is the secret to also earning high paying clicks with Adsese.
These 3 tips will be letting the Search Engines understand what your post is about. When you make it easy for them to know what subject your blog post is about, they’ll rank you higher in their listings.
Now the only thing you’ll need is to build links to your blog and blog post. But I’ll have to save that for another post. But you need to learn how to optimize your blog before tackling link building.
