Using Very Simple SEO Tricks
Search engine optimization (SEO) is usually portrayed as technical and complex by most internet marketing gurus. There are many very simple SEO tricks that can help you get good ranking for a blog post.
Good ranking for a blog post means lots of traffic. Using these simple tricks, I have been able to get my blog posts ranked on the top of that particular keyword within a few hours by Google.
These tricks will only work if your blog has more than 50 posts. Post at least once on your blog. Once your blog has more than 50 posts, Google will start considering you a serious blog. Always try to post interesting and entertaining stuff on your blog.
Google likes fresh content. Since blogs provide fresh content to Google on daily basis. Google indexes blog posts much faster than webpages. If you are posting at least once everyday, your blog will get priority with Googlebot and it will index the post (in most cases) in 15 minutes.
When you are posting on a blog, first choose a keyword that you want to get that post ranked. Use that keyword in the title of the post.
You should use that keyword within the first 25 words in the first sentence. Use the keyword as close to the beginning in the post as possible. Use the keyword in a natural manner in the content of the post but not more than 4%.
Try to include three or four links in the post containing the keyword solely. Give emphasis by bolding the link. The URL of that post should also contain the keyword as an extension like http:// www.Yourdomain.com/keyword. Both wordpress and blogger allow you to do this.
In Blogger, you should know that once you have published the post, you cannot change the URL. Blogger chooses the first few sentences from the title to include in the URL. So you should publish the post with only the keyword in the title. Afterwards you can always change the title again if you want but it should still contain the keyword.
This is the best way to tell Google; look, this is the keyword for this particular post. These very simple tricks can help your posts get top ranking for keywords having 100,000 to 1000,000 competing webpages.
