There are many people who are\u00a0just starting to blog\u00a0and many more that have run their own site for a while, that don\u2019t know what SEO is and how to utilize it.<\/p>\n
SEO<\/strong>\u00a0simply stands for\u00a0Search Engine Optimization<\/strong>. This is where you construct your web pages and utilize certain techniques to help you rank as high as possible on search engine result pages (SERPs<\/strong>). Your pages can rank on Google\/Bing\/Yahoo\/etc. results pages, the more traffic your site is likely to get.<\/p>\n Now,\u00a0SEO<\/strong>\u00a0can be divided up into two separate categories;\u00a0On-Page SEO<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Off-Page SEO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n On-Page SEO<\/strong>\u00a0mentions to all the things that you can do\u00a0ON<\/u>\u00a0your website to help you rank higher, like page<\/p>\n titles, internal linking, meta tags & descriptions, etc.<\/p>\n Page title are one of the most important\u00a0SEO <\/strong>cause<\/strong>\u00a0on your site. Your pages & posts should have its own unique title, which includes the main\u00a0keywords for that page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For example, you could write a blog post about many type of recipe that you have tried. It is therefore important that you exclude recipe within your post title like \u201cEasy Chocolate Cake Recipe\u201d or \u201c Chocolate Cake Recipe for kids\u201d etc.<\/p>\n Whenever someone searches for Chocolate Cake Recipes in a search engine, your post has a better chance of showing up because you have included those keywords.<\/p>\n Many people forget to view\u00a0meta descriptions<\/strong>\u00a0for their pages. These descriptions are an important place to include applicable keywords for your content, as these are used within the search results when your page is listed.<\/p>\n For case, if we continue to use the \u2018Chocolate Cake Recipe\u2019 example, then a good meta description for that page would include those keywords and related ones. So, \u201cThis easy chocolate cake recipe is possibly the most delicious, mouth-watering, chocolate cake ever made\u201d would be a great meta description to use, as it is relatively short, whilst containing a number of\u00a0specific keywords<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For each page, you can consider a set of keywords in the form of\u00a0meta tags<\/strong>.

Search engines use these to find out what is important within your content. This is why\u00a0keyword rich headlines<\/strong>\u00a0are more useful than taxon ones. Make sure you write keyword rich headings in the order of precedence in H1, H2 and H3 title tags. They are used by many crawlers to different important content.<\/p>\n Including applicable keywords throughout your content is very important, as it helps search engines work out what your content is about. However, try not to excessive repeat and overutilization keywords just for search engine robots. This can lead to your site being illegal from search engines.<\/p>\n To avoid this, try to keep your keyword density to approximately 2-5%.

This way, you are still writing about the same thing, without risk of existence banned.<\/p>\n Using images within your content is a great way to make your site more visually attractive and break up boring chunks of text. You can utilize these images to help\u00a0improve your site SEO<\/strong>. All your uploaded images have titles, so aliment them just the same as your page titles. Including applicable keywords can help people find your site when searching on Google Images.<\/p>\n You can also include\u00a0Alt Text<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Descriptions<\/strong>\u00a0for your images, making them even more useful with\u00a0SEO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n People frequently think that the only links that count are those from other websites.
