How to Super Optimise Your Blog for SEO

Getting involved in social media is a great way to drive instant traffic to your site, however if you want your blog to grow into a traffic magnet, you are going to need to attract attention from the search engines. Every high traffic blog has been optimised for keywords relevant to the content, once this is done you can begin to sell ad space relevant to your content.

To fully optimise your blog, one of the first things you need to ensure is that your title tag is optimised towards your target keywords. Your title tag is one of the most powerful SEO components, getting it right will allow you to dominate Googles rankings.

The next area you look to is your headings, use different keyword variations within your heading tags; this will help your contents relevance and will stand out to the search engines. The ALT attribute within your images is another place where you need to be focusing your keywords.

If you havent done so already it is important that you submit a site map via Google webmaster tools, this will help ensure all your content is indexed. The more content you have indexed, the more chance you have of driving relevant traffic to your blog.

On e thing that many bloggers miss and it is very powerful, is optimising your internal links. Every page or post of your blog needs to be linked back to your homepage. Now many bloggers do this from the home tab at the top of the page, however the most effective place to position internal links is within the text of your post, anchored with your target keywords.

Many bloggers will encourage you to submit your best content to article directories, this is a big mistake. Submitting your posts to article directories will cause your blog to be filled with duplicate content; this will severely restrict the amount of search engine traffic you can drive to your site.

One of the main things you need to do to ensure your receiving as much organic traffic as possible is to keep on topic. Google needs to recognise the all round theme your site. If every post you write is linked to your main theme, this will strengthen your overall ranking ability.

As well as all of the above on page ideas you must also build back links to your content. These links need to be from sites that publish content similar to your own.
