SEO- Using Keywords

SEO- Search Engine Optimization with keywords is vital if you want visitors to be able to utilize a search engine to find content on your blog.

Keywords are the subject visitors will search for, via a search engine, to find your blog. There is a very specific way to utilize the keywords to increase your site rankings in search engine results. The most important places to use keywords are

1. Post titles
2. First sentence
3. Minimum 3 times in your post
4. Last sentence
5. URL
6. Tags

For instance, the post is about keywords. I have used keywords in all of the areas I listed.

When your pages are crawled, attention is especially paid to anything in <h>, mainly the post title. The second place looked is the content, the first and last sentence usually tells what the content is about. Think back to composition in high school. You were taught to always title your paper descriptively of what the paper was about. You were also taught to have an introduction to introduce the topic and conclusion to conclude the topic. The same concept is used on the internet for the content of your post.

In the body of the post using the same keyword and different variations will give you optimal search engine ranking. Replace casual words like “it” with the keyword itself.

The URL of every post page is usually crawled too. Make sure you have your keywords in the URL of your post. Post tags need to include your keywords and other variations. Tags also help link post topics.

Keywords used in the URL

Hopefully with this simple help, you will be able to use keywords effectively to increase your traffic and SEO rankings. SEO is vital for any page or content on the internet. Remember, using keywords in specific places in your post is the key.
