HOW TO WRITE THE PERFECT BLOG POST?
There are a lot of reasons why home business owners should write a blog,
much like the press releases provided by brick-n-mortar businesses. We also
talked about blog topics and how frequently you should blog.
This blog focuses more on the “how-to” aspect of blogging. Since the point of
blogging is to connect with others to market yourself and your business, there
are several practices you should follow to increase your blog’s visibility on
search engines, which is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO). As the
search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc modify their algorithms to
determine ranking, it is possible those who post to the interest will have to
modify their SEO tactics to improve their rankings.
However, there are several standard techniques that can be incorporated into
your blog to aid your rankings.
1.Keyword / Keyword Phrase: once you have decided on a topic, you
should determine the word or phrase search engine users are using
2. when performing a search for your topic. This word or phrase should be
incorporated within a few places in your blog:
a. Blog title
b. First and last sentence of your blog
c. Subheadings
d. URL address of the blog
Do not saturate your blog with your keyword or phrase. It should fit
into your blog naturally and flow intelligently.
There are a couple of easy ways to see what words are being used in
search engines:
a. Google Keyword Planner: this does require an account with
Google Adword, but the account is free and the benefits great.

i. Select the Keyword Planning tool:
ii. Select “Search for new keyword and ad group idea”
iii. Enter your keyword topic
iv. Look for results between 800 and 1400. Your goal is to
get on the first page of the search engine results. If you
select a keyword or phrase with a larger search result,
you are going to have a lot of competition and the
chances of you ending up on the first page drop sharply.
3. However, if you look for words or phrases in the 8001400 range, you will have much less competition and a
better chance of showing up on the first page of the
search results.
b. Google Search Engine suggester: Google attempts to help you
out when you type into a search box, offering suggestions:
2. Length – Your blog should be around 750 words. If people want to read
a book, they will read a book. Very few will sit around and read a blog of
a couple of thousand words. If your blog is that long, it should be
broken up into 2 – 3 blogs.
3. Internal links – this ties back to the previous strategy, length. A blog is a
category, with multiple posts within it. Providing a link within your post
to one of your other posts keeps the blog reader within your sphere and
increases your posts’ popularity on the search engine. A perfect example
of this is the link at the beginning of this post to one of my other, related
posts. However, don’t get too crazy with the links. Doing so could drive
off your readers.
4. Add an external link if it is relevant to your blog. When readers click on
the external link, your blog link will appear on the list of referring sites
for the external link’s site Analytics. This will then make your blog’s
existence known to the owners of the external site.
5. Add relevant pictures and videos. Again, less is more. Depending on the
4. length of your of your blog, you should have no more than a couple of
pictures and one or two videos.
6. When adding pictures and videos, be sure to complete the alternate
(Alt.) text and Title / Caption with accurate information. If the picture is
of a man riding a horse, than the alt. text should be “Man riding horse.”
and this tells the search engine what the picture is about.
7. If your blogging site allows keywords or meta tags, enter a reasonable
number (5-6) keywords. Don’t stuff.
8. Make your blog look attractive to help draw readers back to your site in
the future. Check your spelling and grammar.
There are more techniques you can use to increase your ranking in search
engines, but these are pretty much the standard ones to use. If you want to
see results and learn more about blogging, then you can head over to my
blog and see what you could achieve when implementing the techniques I
use to get my blog in the top 100.000 Alexa in 4 Weeks.
