Search Engine Optimisation for a blog is not very different from search engine optimisation for a website, the search engine logic is the same as optimising for a website. In fact optimising for a blog is a lot simpler than optimising for a website. You can list your blog faster and much quicker than your website by following very simple SEO techniques.
1 ) Start a Blog :
– Start a blog for your website ( if you don’t already have one ) Google loves blogs and wordpress for its friendly URL structure and its simple navigation. If you have a web site or any form of ecommerce or service you must consider starting a blog to complement your sites SEO efforts. Google indexes blog content very quickly this helps boost your search engine ranking on Google. When you have a blog that
ranks high on Google , your web site or ecommerce store is automatically leveraged.
2 ) Write Effective Blog Titles :
– The title tag of your website or blog is a major factor in Google indexing your site, the title is the first impression that your blog makes with the Google spider and you want to ensure that its good. A title indicates a snippet of what your blog page or website page contains. Ensure that the keywords you want to optimise are included in the title and reflect the content of your page. A good title includes focussed keywords on topic relevant to your blog page.
3 ) Write Link worthy posts :
– Google will rank you high based on the strength of your link building activities. The stronger inbound and internal links you have to your website or blog, better your chances of a high Page rank and high search result on Google. Ensure you have quality and valuable content which is link worthy ie. other blogs or website should find it worth linking in their articles.
If I have to link to relevant content from my blog post I will link to a blog post that is of great value to my readers and is link worthy. Blog at whatever frequency but provide exceptional content, the longer the time period between posts, the more exceptional you have to be. Give blogs and websites a reason to post your links.
4 ) Ensure effective link building :
– Leverage your network after each post goes live to help promote your content. Connect with influencing bloggers, start by linking to and commenting on their blogs. Use social networking sites like Digg, Twitter , stumble upon, reddit to build back links and traffic to your blog. Effective link building creates increased
search engine visibility and traffic to your blog or website.
5 ) Use Effective anchor text :
– When you write a blog post or article ensure that you have linked internal posts with relevant anchor text that related to the linked blog content. When you exchange links or use article directories or web directories for link building initiatives ensure that you use anchor text keywords that you want your blog to rank on Google ie. when I write articles for article directories or web directories linking to my blog, I use the anchor text as Internet Marketing Blog or Affiliate Marketing Blog.
6 ) Use Blog post tags :
– One of the major advantages of a blog is that it gives you options to tag every blog post with relevant blog tags. Blog tags are relevant keywords that you can use to compliment the blog posts. Google loves blog tags, I’ve experienced my blogs being picked up by Google based on the relevancy of blog tags.
7 ) 300 word articles or blog posts:
– Ensure that your blog posts or articles are atleast 300 words or more, this is critical as any article or blog post less than 300 keywords will not be spidered by Googlebot. If you have a blog post less than 300 keywords Google does not think you have enough content on your blog to spider.

While using Blog tags is important, it is more important to use relevant tags. I have seen a lot of new bloggers using irrelevant tags and endig up with a lot of bounce rate.

That’s a great point relevant tags are important. Also avoid too many tags in your blog post, Google could penalise you for excessive stuffing of tags.

I certainly agree with what you stated because it’s very try they have a bunch of tags that are so irrelevant that people are constantly showing up to their site and aren’t getting anything positive for it

Great tips. You forgot to add in number 4 to link to older related posts on your blog.
You are absolutely right on this, I should have included it in number 4 , I’ve mentioned “internal link building” briefly in number 5. Thanks for pointing this out 🙂

You won’t find it on any blogs or books, this is based on experience…try writing 100 word articles and check the frequency of Googlebot indexing your pages, you ll know when I mean 🙂

Hi @Roof Replacement
This is great observation on your part about the post and the links. Google gives a lot of importance to internal linking. ie links from your site or articles to your internal pages. Its important that your internal link building is strong to get high ranking on Google. I’ve links this post to internal pages to help my ranking in Google.

I would internal linking on your posts, at least once to the home page and also to other pages with keyword anchor text.

Spot on, ZK. You’ve laid out easy for anyone to understand. However, I beg to differ on the part of link building using social media (Twitter, Digg, etc). We don’t build links using social media, we use them to promote our blog for better visibility (and brand awareness).
Take a look at what some of the experts said here
http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2009/03/25/where-social-media-fits-into-the-seo-equation
Adios
Yan
YSs last blog post..You’re either Remarkable or Invisible
Thanks for sharing the link with the readers Yan, you are absolutely right Social media does help in visibility for your site. All the experts mentioned in the above url speak of link popularity and building links as an integral part of the social media landscape. Google values it as a link back. Google algorithem now gives weightage to links on social media sites, its one of the factors to access your site.

Hate to break it to you, but #7 is a load of absolute BS. On many occasions I have written articles of just over 100 words and pinged my blog, only to have the post indexed within 10 minutes and many times this raked in 1000’s of visitors overnight. In fact, the majority of my posts are less than 200 words, yet I’ve never had trouble getting the post indexed within 1 hour of posting.

Thats awesome Simon, can you give us more tips on how to get 1000’s of visitors overnight from Google consistantly by writing articles that get ranked high in less than 10 min. I am assuming the post would be ranked in top 3 – 5 rankings in Google to get 1000s of visitors overnight.
Your tips would be of great value to all of us here. Maybe you can do a guest post on this topic.

I agree that you’ll get indexed but if you have a more wordy post you’ll probably pick up some extra traffic due to having…ummm lots of words. LOL sorry I kind of lost the train of my thought there.
It was a real good thought too.

i certainly agree when are you going to come up with more blogs
almirs last blog post..Vital Tips That Can Aid Any Blogger
I can tell you right here and now, it’s not rocket science. Create a general blog and build up 1000’s of links to it (I did it through blog commenting) and let the domain age for a while (around 6 months) just to let it get a bit of authority with Google. That way, when the time comes to make more posts, you can rank high.
Anyway, I currently have made myself a list of most major events that occur on a yearly basis (e.g. sporting events, public holidays, black friday etc). I then use the archives of Google trends to go back to the date that the event happened on in a previous year and find some of the keywords that were searched for then. With these I change the year in the keyword (e.g. are bank’s open president’s day 2008 to are banks open president’s day 2009) and make posts with these keyword’s making use of tags.
On second thoughts, seeing as I’m nowhere near finishing, I will make a guest post and send it into you – I have a second strategy as well that works, so I’ll email you when I have the time to write it.

The only thing I would add to this post – keep blogging. Readers you do get won’t stay if you don’t update your blog. Keep fresh on new trends and current topics. Good post.
You are absolutely right on this one, keep blogging and churning out fresh and valuable content for your blog readers and help search engines to crawl your pages often. Ideally you should have atleast 10 – 12 posts a month. Its best if you can blog everyday 🙂

I really can’t believe how much blogging has taken off.. and also how much people rely on it for their businesses!
You really can help a site with a blog or wirting about one on a post. Blogs do have some good plugins that make them easy to Seo and they can be a great source of one ways links to a website related to blog topic or post. Nice post some good quality info.
i thought 300 words are enough to create a content…but anyway thanks for the information,
Thanks for sharing the post it was very helpful
I am looking to set up a website for a new business that I am just starting and although I am familiar with the pc and the internet,
I also think its good to have a good looking blog, as with anything else really. I mean if it doesnt look professional and/or isnt easy to navigate round people are not going to use it. If you do havea blog that looks good and is easy to navigate then these are some very handy SEO tips … Cheers
Although a nice looking blog theme is also a plus, it isn’t a requirement. I’ve seen plenty of highly successful blogs that rank in the top of the SE’s for certain keywords using the WP default theme.
I have to say that permalink structure plays a huge role in SEO. As a test, I started 2 blogs about the same topic. One had an optimized permalink structure while the other used the default permalink settings. Both received the same amount of content and marketing.
At the end of 3 months, the blog with the optimized permalink structure was doing substantially better in the SE’s. No question it plays a big role in my mind.
Some excellent pointers for optimisation. These could make a huge difference.
Yeah, they are very good! I am going to start a blog soon so I will need these advices to get my rankings higher and get indexed in google as soon as possible. Thanks a ton for sharing your experience. I’ve bookmarked it.
Setting up a dedicated external blog to help leverage traffic & link love to your website is a great idea, but you must be careful to remember to avoid duplicate content issues by posting the same content on both your blog & website.
I am already doing blog post so this post will gain my knowledge in SEO!
these are great tips that can help many people succeed through the seo process which is great
A well designed, search Engine Optimised website is the way to go.
I just know that the number of words affect the rankings. I will write an article that contains more than 300 words. Thank you for your very useful tips !
