Optimize

Keyword research.

The first way to optimize your blog is to conduct a proper keyword research, use research tools such as Market samurai, free Google keyword tool and wordtracker etc.These tools will help you enlarge your keyword list by offering a number of suggestions related to your keyword. Always try choosing a keyword which is less competitive as well as, being highly searched and according to that choose an appropriate title for your post.

Include your keyword in blog title.

Having identified the keywords you are going to target; the next step to optimize your blog is to put your keywords in your blog title. And when you use keywords in your blog title, the h1 tag and title tag will automatically becomes your keywords. Page title tells both the search engine and readers what’s on the page.

Repeat keywords in your post.

Repetition of keywords in your blog post is known as keyword density. Use your keyword throughout your blog post but don’t over use it, overusing is not good when it comes to seo. Try to use to your keyword as early as possible in your post or in a H2 tag. Using your keyword early will attract your readers and it may also have little impact on your ranking.

    Good tips for beginners Ashish. Concentrating on long tail keywords is a better idea especially post-Penguin update

    There are instances when you really have to repeat words in your content. Just make it look natural. If you can use pronouns to replace the keyword, go for it. People are intelligent enough to understand that you’re talking about a certain thing without you having to repeat the subject every now and then. If you’re talking about an SEO reseller at the start, it’s best that you’re going to mention it again on the next paragraph rather than repeating it on the same.

    Choose websites to link to your page that have a limited number of existing outgoing links. This tells the search engine that your link is most important to the host website. The quality of the posts on your Blog determines its success, therefore it is extremely important to write content which is relevant for the users and satisfies them. Another key ingredient you have to make sure you include is your keyword density. That simply means don’t spam your blog post with your keywords.
