How to create a SEO friendly blog?

For some, writing for SEO purposes and writing to attract and captivate your audience could seem two contradictory goals. I totally disagree with this. Indeed, if you not only want a good but also an SEO-friendly blog post, the words you want to be found on should be in a very prominent place. But, using your keywords too often severely damages the readability of your text.

In post, I would like to give some tips on writing blog posts that are both very readable as well as SEO-friendly. I genuinely think those two goals should (and easily can!) go hand in hand.

Writing tips for SEO friendly blog posts

Before anything, your blog post just has to be a good piece of writing! A lot of bloggers just begin to write when creating a new blog post. They just type what comes to mind. For some, this may be sufficient because they are natural writing talents. Others might need some help. I always follow the next set of ‘rules’ myself.

1. Think !!!

Think deeply about the message of your text. What do you want to tell to readers or which central question do you want to ask? What’s the purpose of your text? And what do you want your readers to do at the end of the page? Write down the answers to these questions before you begin writing.

2. Write down the structure of your blog post.

Start your post with creating a clear structure. Every post should have:

  • some sort of introduction (in which you introduce your topic);
  • a body (in which the main message is written);
  • a conclusion (which should summarize the most important ideas or deduce some new idea).

Write down what you want to write in all these three sections. You now have a kind of summary of your post. The real writing can begin.

What you mean by bounce rate? How to improve this?

Bounce Rate in Deep

Before we search for our bounce rate, we have to fully understand what bounce rate is. Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who come to your website and leave without viewing any other pages on your website. If you look on the statics in Google Analytics, you will see a percentage. If you have average bounce rate, for example, is 75%, this means that 75% of the people who come to your website leave after only viewing the page they entered on, whether it was your homepage or an internal page.

What this conclude to is the fact that your website isn’t retaining its visitors. People are coming to your site and either finding what they want but not anything else or not finding what they want at all. The key is to make sure that once visitors land on a page, they are drawn to visiting even more pages throughout your site.

That all Begins With Google Analytics

Your first stop in figuring out how to improve your bounce rate is in Google Analytics. When you sign into your Google Analytics profile for your website, you are greeted with an average bounce rate. While you want this to go down, it isn’t the one you really need to look into. Here are some things you can learn from your bounce rate throughout Analytics.

7 Top Techniques to improve your traffic

Techniques to Improve Traffic

HJ1)  Get Ready to Create Your Own Domain and Hosting Is A Must

Right off the bat, most people don’t realize that free website setups won’t do a thing for your SEO.  Essentially, Google looks at your free website and says ‘if you were really serious about this you’d purchase your own place’.  Google wants to recommend sites it deems trustworthy, and so to hit the SEO ground running, the best thing for new bloggers and content marketers to do is to just jump right into the deep end of the pool obtain their own hosting at the very start.

2)  Create Original Content

The key thing to remember with SEO is that Google’s entire focus is on offering its user’s search results that are helpful and relevant.  This is Google’s singular purpose, and so you want to embrace that knowledge into your content creation.  People are seeking to have their problems solved, and if you demonstrate that you’re the one solving those problems then there’s a good chance you’re content will be shared and Google will reward you by moving your site up to its rankings. You can create it on your own

And remember this, content can take a number of forms.  If you haven’t yet you should start considering adding:

  • Videos – Create videos or helpful tutorials and post them onto YouTube.  This is a great way to build links and draw traffic from the wildly popular video sharing site.
  • Photography – A picture tells a thousand words, and posting original photos or images on your site is an easy way to provide fresh, attractive content.
  • Tools and Plugins – Google is a huge fan of helpful tools and plugins and if you develop and install a useful plug-in into your site you’ll find yourself sitting pretty in Google’s rankings.

Whether you choose one of these forms of content or all of them, the whole point is to help your site’s visitors out.  Build a solid relationship with them and they’ll be sharing your content left and right, causing your rankings to rise fast and far.

7 TOP SIGNALS – IT’S TIME TO TALK TO AN SEO AGENCY

There are certain elements of SEO that are largely doable by just about anyone, especially in those early growth phases.

But when do you reach that point of too many hats?

When are you expecting a little too much from your web designer?

When is it time to talk to an SEO agency?

Consider some of the following circumstances.

1. Too Big to Do Yourself 

The most common motivation for seeking out a quality SEO firm is that the company has reached that sweet spot between being able to handle all your online marketing yourself (or with a single marketing) and being able to hire an entire in-house team.

In other words, you’ve reached that point where there is too much to do, but not quite at that point where you can afford a full-time, experienced SEO manager and the other necessary members of an online marketing team (writers, paid search experts, SEO specialists, etc.).Depositphotos_55497461_original (1).jpg
