As SEO is important for everything, you need to create better SEO for your blog for better ranking in search results. In this article, I will share 3 must-follow SEO strategies that will help you generate valuable traffic from the search engine.
When we talk about SEO, there are two main elements to SEO, on-page and off-page SEO optimization. One of the factors that goes into on page optimization is quality content. The quality of your content is more important than the quantity.
Most bloggers think that quality is important for higher search engine ranking, due to this wrong thinking, they are not focusing on quality content. Due to low-quality content, your blog readers get irritated/annoyed.
Because of this, they lose their traffic!
No quality content = no readers
Remember that people don’t like to read posts that are too long or too short. So make high quality content with 400-600 words. You don’t have to write all your posts with 1000+ words [Killer Content] for a higher ranking in the search engine. Don’t write your articles just for search engines; also write for the readers of your blog.
From my previous explanation about search engine ranking, now you know that SEO is most important for all blogs on the internet to get more search engine traffic. So, let’s delve into the topic.
There are mainly 3 SEO strategies to follow to get traffic for your blog from search engine. Here are those 3 SEO strategies you are waiting for!
1) Add the perfect keyword for better SEO
The first step in search engine optimization ie SEO is to apply the correct keyword in your article. If you wrote an article “How to make your PC run fast” with more than 400 words. First you must choose a keyword for that article, example: PC. Once you have decided on the keyword, now is the time to increase the density of that keyword in the article. Example I will tell how,
The following is a sentence present in the article,
“I will share some tips to work it faster”
The “it” I mentioned in the PC, so the word “it” gives the meaning of “PC”. So I changed the word “it” to “PC”. Thus, there are several ways to increase keyword density. The best keyword density for SEO is 2-5%. You can check the keyword density of your article using some online tools like keyword density analyzer.
I recommend you to have more keyword density in your article because it helps the search engine to identify the keyword of your article and display the search results accordingly.
If you don’t have the keyword density wrong or you have a different keyword for your article, it shows your blog with a completely wrong keyword. So keep the keyword that is relevant to your article and have a keyword density of 2-5% which is good for SEO.
2) SEO by optimizing your post title using keyword analysis
Analyzing the keywords for your post title is an easy way to rank on the first page in the search engine. But analyzing keywords is not an easy thing, you need to put more effort in choosing a search engine friendly title for your article.
Let me explain a bit about keyword analysis. The tool I use and recommend you use is the “Google AdWords Keyword Tool” which is a completely free online tool for Google keyword research.
First, after completing your article, search for some keywords from your article. [Try to find at-least 3-5 keywords]. After that, go to the Google AdWords tool and put those keywords per line. And select the country you want to know the popularity of the keyword
And then press “search button”, you will find keywords related to your post. Choose one of them and attach it to the beginning of your article to make it SEO friendly.
The second step is over! Now let’s dive into step 3!
3) SEO optimization Alt and title tags on images
Alt tag and title tags are the best ways to optimize your blog images for search engine. Alt tags and title tags are used on images to identify the name of your image. [I mean, the name of your article] in image search results.
Alt tag and image tag can be added to images in HTML by,
title=”WEBSITE” alt=”WEBSITE”
src=”http://WWW.WEBSITE.COM/IMAGE.PNG” />
Title tag – When your reader hovers over an image in your article, it displays the text you’ve added to the title tag.
Alt tag: The alt tag helps the search engine to identify your image description. When your image link has been broken, the alt text appears on the image.
