15 Ways To Optimize Your Blog For Search Engine Optimization

Blog SEO is the cheapest way to bring traffic to your blog or even your landing page and sales page. You might have learn some basic SEO strategy, but have you heard that blog has a very powerful approach that allows you to rank on the first page super fast and easy.

Most blogger will rush to build backlinks, but they will find ranking is not easy and struggling because they have forgotten to do some "On-Blog Optimization" that would help them to get to the first page few times easier. These On-Blog Optimization are:

1. Having Keywords In Your Domain Name

Domain name gives you a great advantage to rank on Google. I've seen many websites that have only a couple of backlinks that are higher than sites which have hundreds of backlinks. The difference is just these sites have their keywords in their domain name. This makes Google thinks that the website is dedicated to show only contents and information about the keyword.

2. Having Keywords In Your Blog Title

Insert the keywords you choose in your blog title. When your blog title is your keywords, the title tag and h1 tag on your blog will become your keywords. Each page of your blog will link to your main page 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 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. Using Ping

Ping is a essenttial function of each wordpress blog will have. Whenever you create a new post, your blog will automatically ping to tell the world you've written something new on your blog. Ping also inform Google and other search engines your blog have something new. Search engines love websites and blogs that keep updating new content often because they offer their users latest and quality information. Search engine will rank your blog high if you ping often. Remember to use more ping services in your blog's setting.

5. Do You Have Duplicated Contents?

Avoid duplicated content in the blog. Try not to reuse same contents or others' content on the blog. Reusing same content doesn't help in seo because search engines usually don't index many pages that contain almost the same content because it might annoy their users and it might be a way to avoid spammers to increase their page by duplicating same contents.

6. Applying The Technique Of Keyword Density

Have you mention your keywords in your blog? Use your keywords often. Keep your density of keywords above 2% and below 7%. It means you got to have your keywords 3 to 6 times in every 100 words you typed. The more frequent you use your in your blog, the more the search engines thinking your blog is relevant to the keywords. Many people know about this method, this makes some internet marketer stuff keywords in their websites. Google penalize webpages which overuse this method. Try to keep it below 7%.

7. Relevant Keywords

Since many people discover the keyword density method, Search engines use a different algorithm that is able to judge websites' content by the amount of relevant keywords. If you are using Wordtracker or Google Keyword Tool, these tool can show you many other keywords that are highly to the keywords you aim for. Use them in your articles too. For example, the keyword tool will show you "pimple" and "blackhead" as related keywords when you do a search on acne.

8. Speed Blogging

When you write new posts 3 times a day or more, Google will think that your blog have the latest news about a topic and always offer new contents. As a result, you'll be able to rank faster. If your blog is a new one, start posting 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 technique most used for Black Hat SEO is increasing the vloume of webpages. Don't use it aggressively or else it might become a black hat technique that get your blog penalized
