Blogging is becoming a very popular thing in the internet
world lately because people are realizing that you can
actually make money online now with good blogging
techniques. If you know what you're doing with a blog,
then chances are you can monetize it and make a good buck
doing it.
The problem for most people is that they write up a decent
post, but they don't know where to go from there, and then
they think it's just not working. That's where Search
Engine Optimization (SEO) comes in handy.
There are a few decent ways to optimize your blog for the
search engines to help you make money online now so that
the search engines spider your site and make your posts
available when someone does a Google search for a topic
within your post.
One way to SEO your blog is to do what you would do with
your main website - that is, start with your domain name.
For example, my site and blog are about honest money
making, so I created the domain using those keywords to
incorporate the terms "honest money making" in my domain
name itself.
If you want to attract the "make money online now" crowd,
you could use those keywords in your domain. This is a
good trick to getting more recognition in and traffic from
the search engines. You can do the same for your blog
domain name.
The next thing to consider when creating a blog is to
modify your blog template so that your main keywords, like
"make money online now", are included in your title,
description, and headers.
When you do a search and arrive at a new site, you will see
a blue title bar at the top of the page, as well as a site
description and large headings.
In your template, you can change the words in the "title",
"description", and "h1" or "h2" tags to be whatever
keywords you want to attract traffic with. These keywords
will be the prominent words in your site's listings in the
search engines, so use a good keyword research tool, and
choose wisely!
You may decide to choose 10 or 11 good keywords for your
blog, and put the most important ones, like "make money
online now" in your domain, title, description, and
headers, and then use the other keywords you are targeting
within your blog posts.
I like to focus on only one keyword per post and sprinkle
it throughout the post. Overdoing it can backfire on you
and appear more like a spam post that you may get penalized
for, so use the general rule of no more than one keyword
per paragraph, and you should be okay.
Something the search engines really like is when you place
links within your blog posts using your chosen keywords and
linking back to your main site, or internal pages of your
site.
You may even find that the more deep, internal links you
have to other pages on your blog or site, the more traffic
you will get than if you always point back to just your
main site.
If I use the keywords "make money online now" as a link in
my blog post, I would be better off to point that link to
another blog post I made earlier on making money online,
for example.
You may already know that the search engines read your site
from top to bottom and left to right. This means that if
you have a left column for your site, it will read from the
top of that left column to the bottom of that left column
before actually reading your blog post.
This is quite significant to know because this means that
the more blog post links you have in that left column
pointing to your previous posts, the more easily the search
engine spiders will pick up and index those keywords. Make
sure you set up your blog template to include your blog's
previous and archived posts on the left.
Don't forget to make regular daily posts, and ping your
blog after each post you make. This will notify the search
engines that your blog has new content to spider.
If you follow these SEO blog tips, then you will get new
traffic to your blog, and find that you will make money
online now! Blog traffic can translate to making money if
you do it right!
