7 Steps To Keyword Optimize Your Blog Posts

reviously I have explained the process of finding targeted keyword phrases that are researched to include the search volume, the level of competition and the monetization opportunities to fit your blog strengths and weaknesses.

Now that you have the list of targeted keyword phrases, the question is how you can optimize your blog for keywords that you have discovered. Blog page optimization is the process of making sure that your blog article functions in the most effective way possible in relation to search engines. Here are some rules to follow:

1. Write natural. Make sure your blog articles read well and have unique content. Your visitors are the priority number one. Write natural sounding content. You do not need to use your keyword phrase so aggressively that the article does not read well.

2. Get inbound links. Always work on getting relevant, high-quality inbound links from authority sites with keyword-rich anchor text.

3. One keyword phrase per article. Use different blog articles to optimize for different keyword phrases. You cannot optimize one blog article for several different keywords. More keyword phrases you add to the mix, more your blog article loses the focus..




4. Use overlaping keywords. In cases where keyword phrases share some of the same words you should try to optimize the blog page for more than one keyword. For example keyword phrase “blog marketing” can go along with “Wordpress blog marketing” or “blog marketing services”. So including phrase “WordPress blog marketing services” in your blog article will help towards ranking to all 3 phrases.

5. Include variations of the main keyword. Instead of repeating the keyword phrase too many times throughout the blog article, try to include variations of the term and include a range of keywords and related phrases similar to your target keyword.

6. Include the exact keyword phrase.

- You should use the phrase in the post title
- You should use the phrase in the URL (how to optimize your permalinks)
- You should use the phrase within the first paragraph
- You should use the phrase in the body of the content
- You may bold or italicize the phrase in the article
- You may put the phrase in the headings or subheadings
- You may put the phrase in the bulleted list

7. Include a picture. Add a picture to the blog article and make sure the title and alt tags have the keyword phrase in them. Use a filename that includes the keyword phrase. You can also use descriptive text near the image by writing an image heading or image caption.

These 7 steps should hopefully set you on the way of creating new blog posts that will increase your blog visibility in the search engine results pages.
