1. Keywords: opitmize your keywords to rank better on search engines.

Include keywords in your headline text and body headings.

Add your keywords to the first 100 words.

Ask bloggers you have linked to, to share your articles.

4.URLs: Customize your unique/universal resource locator for maximum optimization, make it short and precise, add your main keyword to the url to help you rank higher.

Add meta description to your image with the alt tag.

Allow other bloggers to externally link to your image.
