Blog SEO is the most powerful way to get traffic to your blog. You might have learn some basic SEO knowledge, but have you heard that blog has a very powerful way that allows you to rank on the first page super fast and easy.
Most blogger will immediately go for link building, but they will discover ranking is tough and struggling because they forget to work on On-Blog Optimization that could help them to rank few times easier. These On-Blog Optimization are:
1. Use Domain Name That Contain Keywords
Having keywords in domain name gives your blog a huge advantage to rank on Google. I've seen websites that have only few links that rank higher than websites which have hundreds of backlinks. The difference is just these websites domain name contain their keywords. This makes the search engine thinks that this website is dedicated to show only contents and information about that particular keyword.
2. Does Your Blog Title Contain Keywords?
Change your blog title into your keywords. When your blog title is your keywords, the h1 tag and title tag on your blog will become your keywords. Every page of your blog will link back to the main page of your blog with the keywords too. All of these gives you extra SEO benefits to your blog.
3. Does Your Tagline Contain Keywords?
In the Wordpress blog's general setting, you'll realize something right below the blog title called 'Tagline' or description in other blog platform. This is another important place to place your keywords. Make sure you have your keywords in.
4. Beauty Of Ping Services
Ping is a important function of each wordpress blog have. Whenever you create a new post, the blog will ping itself to inform few websites you've written new content on your blog. Ping also helps to inform Google and other search engines you updated new information on your blog. Search engines love websites and blogs that keep updating new content often because they provide their users latest and quality information. Search engine will usually rank your blog high if you ping often. Remember to import more ping services in your blog.
5. Are You Using Duplicated Contents?
Beware of duplicated content in the blog. Don't reuse same contents or other people's content on the blog. Reusing same content doesn't help in seo because Google usually don't index many pages which contain almost the same content because it is a way spammers use to manipulate search results and it annoys the users by showing many same content.
6. Applying The Technique Of Keyword Density
Have you mention your keywords in your blog? Use your keywords frequent. Try to keep the keyword density above 2% and below 7%. It means you got to have your keywords 3 to 6 times in every 100 words. The more often you mention your in your post, the more search engines will think your blog is relevant to the keywords. Lots of people know about this method, this makes some people stuff keywords in their page. Google penalize webpages that overuse this technique. Don't exceed 7%.
7. Use More Relevant Keywords
Since lots of people use the keyword density secret, Google use a different system that is able to judge content on the website by the amount of keywords that are relevant to the main keyword. If you are using Wordtracker or Google Keyword Tool, these tool is able to give you many other keywords that are related to the keyword you choose. Use those keywords in your articles too. For example, you'll see pimple and blackhead as related keywords when you do a search on acne.
8. Do You Blog Frequently?
When you post a new articleon your blog 3 times a day or more, Google think that you have the latest news about a topic and always offer new contents. As a result, you'll rank easier. If your blog is a new one, try to post once every 3 days and slowly increase to once a day after 1 month. If your blog has been there for sometime, it's up to you.
9. Quantity Of Pages
One of the popular tip lots of used for Black Hat SEO is increasing the vloume of blog pages. Don't use it aggressively or else it might become a black hat technique that get your blog penalized
