How to write SEO Friendly Blog Posts | How to Improve Blog Search Rank

Every day hundreds of new blogs written by new bloggers and they write great contents but their blogs are not able to be shown on the first page results of Search Engine, because they miss the SEO tactics a lot. Search Engine Optimization is more significant for every websites and blogs.

Everyone say that Content is the king, It is true but if you are not following the SEO tactics on because of it your post will not be shown on the top results of Search Engine, so you have to be very careful at the time when you are going to write a new post.

Here I am going to give some important tips which should keep in mind by a blog writer at the time of Blog writing.

1. Use Only 1-2 Keywords per post:

Whenever you plan for writing a new post then always keep in mind that do not use the ton of keywords into a single post, only focus on the topic keyword on which you are going to write the post. If you are using ton of keywords in your post, It means you are wander from your target.

So just focus on the main keywords on which you want to write the post. Now the question is where we can put the keywords?

The answer is, In every Website or Blog there are four parts where you can put your keywords, these four with detailed description are as follows.


(a). Titile: The title of your website or blog is very important part to show the relevancy of your content according to the user need. Whenever you search anything on Search Engine then the first part which is shown to the users is Title.

The above image is an example of Google Search result and here you can see that the Title which is circled with red is appeared first and the Title is the key to engage and attract the users into your website or blog, so use your keyword into the Title of the post and try to make the post Title relevant to the post topic and keywords.

Note: Try to make your Title within 70 character length because more then 70 characters will not be shown into the search result then your effort and info will be worthless.

(b). URL: The URL of your post is second most important part where you can put your keywords and Search Engine also look to the post URL to figure out that what your post is about, so make your post URL with putting the relevant keywords into it.

In above snapshot you can see the similarity between Title and URL, the keyword Search Engine Optimization is used in Title and URL both.

(c). Body: Now the body part of your post or you can say your article should has the related keywords throughout the entire post but in normal pace. Using keywords lots of time into the post body would indicate that you are going to rank a particular keyword and Search Engine definitely penalize your post so be aware about it while writing your post.

(d). Meta Description: Meta Description is another key point to engage your readers as well as the Search Engine to determine about your post. Meta Description is a way to tell about your post just in few words (mostly 160 chars max is a good length) including the keywords.

Here in the above pic you can see the two lines Meta Description with Search Engine Optimization keyword, so it is able to tell your readers that this is the relevant page for the topic which they looking for.

2. Optimize your Images:

If you are writing any blog post then most of the times you use the images to explain your words graphically but the Search Engines like those images which have Alt attribute. The Alt attribute helps to describe your image by giving little tooltip on mouse over. Sometimes your images could not be load into the browser then the Alt attribute tell more about your images.

 

Always keep in mind if you are using images then you have to use Alt attribute for your images, It definitely help your post to rank well.

3. Turn to Responsive Layout:

If you are using traditional layout instead of Responsive Layout then it is the time to turn your blog to the Responsive Layout. The Responsive blog will give the same user experience to the all devices like Desktop, Tablet, Smartphone or any other mobile device.
If you are using traditional layout which is better for Desktop only then a user who wants to read your blog on his mobile device then he will not able to read your blog easily because it is no more readable so the user might go out from your blog to other Responsive blog.
Search Engines also give preference to the Responsive Design blogs to rank because of the easy navigation and URL pattern.
So if you are using traditional layout then you have to turn to the Responsive.

4. Link other related post to your post (Internal Linking):

If you are going to write a post which is related to your some existing post then you should link those post into your latest post. This technique is called Internal Linking. It is a good technique to give some extra info in a explained way to your readers.

This way is very useful for your readers to give more detailed info to them as well as to engage the readers to your other posts. But always keep in mind use only those link which are much related to your topic, always avoid linking unrelated posts because it could give negative impression about your blog in readers mind.

5. Create meaningful URL's:

The URL of a page is most important for engaging readers on your blog as well as for SEO because it helps Search Engines to index your pages easily as well as it helps your readers to find the relevant contents according to their needs.
Here are some example to create meaningful URL's..

www.example.com/marketing
www.example.com/sales
www.example.com/about-us

In above example you can easily judge that which URL for what purpose, so be conscious to create your post URL's.



6. Setting a custom domain to blogger:-  

The custom domain helps our readers to remember the name of blog for example if we have a blog with name xyz.blogspot.com then it is hard to type and remeber, so if the blog name look something like that xyz.com then it is very easy to remember.

6. Use Webmaster Tools:

The Webmaster Tools are the great way to tell about your pages to the Search Engine Bots. All the major Search Engines gives the facility to add your website and pages into their webmaster sections to optimizing, indexing and error checking. I will write a another post on Webmaster Tools provided by Google, Bing, Yahoo and more and will tell how to use the facility of these tools.
