subject: Effective Seo Tips In Blogging [print this page] There are certain rules that must be followed in search engine optimization. If you are into blogging, your blog will rank higher in search engine once you followed these simple rules. And I have learned these rules when I started to understand the world of bloggers and had my own blog.
First and foremost, you have to make sure that your blog's URL includes primary keyword/s that you want to optimize in your niche. Making use of the targeted keyword in subdomains is also useful.
Lets say, you wish to start an HTML tutorial website, then the primary keyword you want your URL to contain is html. So select a URL like www.htmlaccess.com.
Subdomains can also be used and it is also as helpful as the example above.
If your primary key phrase is html access, you have to make sure that the words html and access appear in your blog headers such as H1 and H2 tags as well as in the title of each post.
In the case of secondary keyword, use them infrequently in the body of your post if you want it get listed. The theory is that the more times a keyword shows within webpage, the more relevant the page is likely to be for someone searching those keywords.
However, do not exaggerate this by repeating the same keywords over and over again. Google bots can detect if a keyword is too frequent on a page and might just eliminate your site from their index. There is a rule that secondary keywords should only be mentioned in a post 5 times. Thats the maximum.
Use your primary and secondary keywords in the anchor text of links when linking to other blog post to other pages of your blog. Keywords in links have more importance than simple text.
Navigation bar must be present on all pages of your blog. Your previous posts or at least the popular ones should be linked to all pages so they get crawled easily.
You need as many links as possible to link back to your posts or blog because it will help you build pagerank and get your blog to rank higher in search engines. The more links you have the higher your blog is ranked in Technorati, helping your blog to be found easily.
Here are some tips on how to get backlinks.
oSubmit your blog and RSS feed to blog search engines and directories. That is the first thing to do to get high-quality links
oLink exchanging with other similarly-themed blogs will help you to form richly interlinked networks or communities.
oDont hesitate to link to an article or another blog if you find it interesting and is closely related to your niche. The trackback will become a link back to your blog.
oLastly posting legitimate comments in response to posts on other blogs will help you get backlinks. Regularly post legitimate comments in similarly-themed blogs with high traffic to get many backlinks.
Update your blog frequently or at least thrice a week and make sure that you are using all the rules mentioned above. You will be surprised on how your blog got a higher PR in just a shorter time.
Stick with the same domain or you could end up losing a lot of your traffic and regular readers. Also stick with the topic you selected for your blog. Dont post something about SEO today then you suddenly posted an article about skin care the next day.
