For many blog owners, they fail to capitalize on search engine traffic because they do not understand how important SEO optimizing their blog is. Failing to bring in targeted traffic is one reason many bloggers stop trying to make money with affiliate programs and find the next scheme to jump into.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. It can be done in 3 simple steps. By following these easy steps, you can increase browsers to your site which may make the difference between a blog that creates its blogger little if any income or one that becomes a great source of additional income.
Follow the advice below to SEO optimize every blog post you post and start reaping the rewards of free Internet search engine traffic.
To begin with, you should make certain your post addresses are optimized for the search engines. If you use a free blog service like Google’s Blogger blogs, this is automatically done for you. WordPress blogs need a little work. If you use the WordPress blogging platform, then set your permalinks so that blog creates SEO friendly url’s when you post an article.
The way you do this in WordPress is to click on the Permalinks tab, and click the radio button next to the Custom field. Next you’ll put a percentage sign followed by the words Postname. {Immediately after the words postname, Now} put another percentage sign. Now all your blog post will have search engine optimized post.
The most important tip on SEO optimizing your blog is to put the keyword in the Title of your blog. For example, if you’re blogging about how to earn extra cash, then make these keywords the Title of your blog. Don’t put something like Johns Blog. Using the keywords in the Title, then you’ll rank higher than if you name it something totally unrelated.
Your next move is to use the keywords in the Post’s title. If you’re targeting people to visit your post about using Ebay to to make a living online, then your post title should have those keywords in it. Not irrelevant keywords like How I Make Money With Auctions. The search engines won’t know what your post is about and you can forget about getting free traffic. This is especially important if you’re trying to make money with Adsense.
These 3 tips will go a long ways in letting the Search Engines understand what your post and blog are about. By taking a little extra time and making it easy for the search engines to determine what your post is about, the search engines will rank you higher in their listings.
Building links to each of your optimized post is the last step in dominating the search engine rankings with your blog post. Ahh, but link building is a whole nother article that has to be saved for later. Learn how to optimize your blog and blog post first before taking on link building.
