SEO Optimize Your Blog Post In 3 Easy Steps

For many bloggers, they fail to realize how important search engine traffic can be because they believe Social Media traffic is enough. This is one of the many reasons bloggers fail to make extra money with their blog.

SEO’ing your blog post is simple. It can be done in 3 easy steps. By following these easy steps, you can increase traffic which may make the difference in a blog that builds the owner little if any income or a blog that is an instrument for additional income.

If you want to take advantage of free search engine traffic, follow the advice below to search engine optimize every post you post and start taking advantage of free search engine traffic.

For starters, you should make sure your blog post addresses are optimized for the search engines. With many free blog services like BlogSpot, this is already done. WordPress blogs need a little work. If you use the WordPress blogging platform, then set your permalinks so that WordPress will produce optimized url’s when you write a post.

The way you get this done in WordPress is to click on the Permalinks tab, and check the button next to the Custom field. Next you’ll put a percentage sign followed by the words Postname. {Immediately after the words postname, Now} add another percentage sign. Now all your blog post will have search engine optimized urls.

Next, your main keyword should be in the Title of the blog. Let’s say you’re blogging about how to earn extra cash, then use these keywords in the Title of your blog and your blog post. If your blog is about Dogs, then don’t use something unrelated like your name in the title unless you also have the word Dog in there also. If your name is John and you have a blog named Johns Dog Blog, then you’ll rank higher than if you name it Johns Blog.

The next requirement is to write the keywords in your Post’s title. If you’re trying to lure people to read your post about ebay to to make a living online, then your keywords need to be in your post title. Forget about using non relevant titles like How I Make Money With Auctions. If you do this, the search engines will have trouble determining what your post is about and you can forget about getting free traffic. If you’re blog is monetized with Adsense, this tip will increase traffic while showing the highest paying ads for an increase in the pay per click you receive.

These three tips will be helping the Search Engines understand what your post is about. When you make it easy for them to understand what your post and blog are about, they’ll rank your post higher in their listings.

Now the only thing you’ll need is to build links to your blog and blog post. Ahh, but link building is a whole nother article that has to be saved for later. First, get acquainted optimizing your own blog and blog post.
