SEO for Blogging
Things To Keep In Mind While Blogging For SEO
I have been doing research on making my blog at top for SEO and found some of the tips for making our blog Search Engine Friendly, which I want to share with others through this blog. Please put your suggestions for further improvements.
Following are some of the Guidelines that could make a difference:
1. Always keep the primary keyword in mind while writing the article.
It’d be good if you can write an article around the suggested keyword and maintain a keyword density of 6-8%in the whole article. Also make sure the primary keyword is evenly “sprinkled” around in the whole copy.
The idea is to make sure that the search engines can easily make out what the article is about from the following things.
- Keyword density/ Strength- Keyword occurrence/sprinkling
(keyword density is the measure of the number of times the keyword occurs in the whole copy.)
2. Make sure to use tag to highlight phrases containing the primary keyword.
Don’t highlight every occurrence of the keyword but around 3-4% in the whle text and near the start/end of the entire copy is ideal.
3. Use variations of the primary keyword in the article
Use variations of the primary keyword in a healthy ratio of 4% of the entire copy.For example if the keyword is “Flower” the variations would be “red flower” “blue flower” etc and not “flowers” or “flowering”.
4. Use titles for links
Use the “title” attribute for all links external or internal. In the title attribute, give a short description of less than 6 words containing the primary keyword or its variations.Ex:- “More articles on Wedding” where “Wedding” is the primary keyword.
5. Try to interlink to your own pages/articles with the appropriate keyword that suits the content of the destination article. Do not use nofollow attributes while doing this.
6. Try to maintain a length of at least 250 words in the whole article.
This is to make sure that Google gets the chance to scan your copy and collect the keywords from it. If it’s a short article, the engines might not consider it a valid doc.
7. When writing headings, try to make sure that the primary keyword is placed in the first three words.Ex:- “Wedding Troubles – Article 1,2 and 3” where Wedding Troubles is the keyword.
8. Pictures
- Use ALT text to describe the picture. Make sure you have the primary keyword in it.
- Use the “Title” attribute for images where there is occurrence of the keyword or its variations.
- Make sure the pictures are not cornered out (in the code) and lies within close proximity with the paragraph having a good keyword density.
- Use descriptive image paths where there are occurrences of the primary keyword.
Ex:- sensitive.com/troubles-life/wedding.jpg makes more sense than sensitive.com/wp123/xyz.jpg
