SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is something that every blogger needs to use to have a successful blog. Using good SEO tactics will give your site a higher PR (Page Rank) with search engines like Google.
There are a lot of good ways to practice good SEO. Below is a list of 3 great SEO tips to use on your blog.
Search Engine Optimization Tips
- Download the Alexa toolbar and place one of Alexa's widgets on your blog. Having a good Alexa traffic rank is essential to having a successful blog.
- Posting to your blog often. Updating your blog with original and interesting content is one of the most important things that you can do, not only is it good for Search Engine Optimization, but if want people to read what you have to say, it's got to be interesting. Make sure to check your spelling and use proper grammar. This is important for the search engines because when somebody does a search using a certain keyword or phrase, like bicycle tires, the search engines will show the results for the sites that have those keywords in it. If you have a blog about bicycle tires but you spell the phrase wrong, search engines probably won't show your blog as one of the results. Of course mistakes do happen, but the goal is to have very few of them.
- Using and optimizing meta tags is definitely one thing every blogger needs to do. There are a lot of different meta tags that you can optimize. The meta tag that I think is the most important for SEO is the Title/Description meta tag. (Click Here to see how to optimize your Blogger.com title tag)
