SEO Tips Bloggers Can Use To Improve Their Ranking by Experience101(m): 8:57am On Sep 05, 2019
I am sure you are not new to the word SEO.

SEO which stands for Search Engine Optimization helps blog post rank top on Google when the right keywords are inputted on the post.

The main goal of using SEO is to drive organic (free) traffic to your blog but these can online be done when you use SEO the right way.

In this article, I will be sharing 5 tips bloggers can use to improve their SEO.

Before we dive into the tips lets first know what SEO really means.

What Is SEO?

SEO basically boils down to how all the different search engines decide on what website, blog post it is going to rank top when a user types in a particular keyword.

Using the Search Engine Ranking Pages (SERPS) which shows the most relevant post on the top of search pages for whatever keyword that is searched for.

Google which is considered to be the number one search engine has set up an algorithm which put different things into considerations before deciding which page should seat at the top for any keyword been searched.

When it comes to search engine optimization, the first thing that the majority of the search engines look for is the content of your blog.

With these, your content has to provide the right information that a user is searching for and the right keywords should be used all around your content.

Though your contents are not only what they consider, the way your blog is designed if your blog is mobile friendly and the loading speed will also determine how your blog rank on the search engines.

As a blogger, you want to make sure that you get your SEO right and it is able to drive an insane amount of traffic to your blog without you spending a dime.

What the search engine does is that it goes through millions of blogs on a daily bases to search out what they are all about so as to know if it is worth putting on the front page of the search engine.

Since your blog is not exempted, you have to make sure that you have a basic knowledge about SEO and how you can be able to write well-optimized contents so as to be able to rank top on search engines.

As you focus on sharing your contents on social media and other platforms and also use paid advertising to promote your blog, I also advise focussing on using SEO to grow your blog as well.

Here are the 5 SEO tips for bloggers

Quality Content


When it comes to SEO, content is king.

Whatever your niche might be, the only way you will be able to rank in the search engine is if you write quality content that people in your niche are interested in.

One of the ways the search engine algorithm works is that it calculates the amount of time spent on a blog post. Once people spend some time on a post-it automatically means that your post has contents that people are searching for and searches engines can start ranking your post-high.

The moment people visit your post and immediately leave because the information you have written about is not helpful or not in-depth search engines will never rank that post.

Quality contents involve you writing in-depth about a particular topic. You have to make sure that you cover every aspect of the topic you choose to write about.

Write For Your Audience And Not For Search Engines

The one thing you have to focus on when writing a blog post is to write on topics that people are interested in.

This is how it works, there are lots people search the web for different information and if you are able to know what your targeted audience is searching for at start writing about it you will surely drive traffic through search engines without you doing much work.

The trick here is for you to know your audience and what they are interested in. you can visit websites such as quora.com to see the kind of questions people that are interested in your niche are asking. With this, you will be able to streamline your contents.

Another great way to know what your audience is searching for is by doing keyword research. There are free tools you can use for your keyword research such as ubersuggest, Google trends so as to get an estimate of how many people are searching for the topic you want to write about.

Use Long-tail Keywords In Your Title

There are two types of keywords, we have Short keyword and long-tail keyword.

When you use a long-tail keyword, it helps to make your post more targeted and the chances of your post showing in the first page of search engines are high.

For example, let’s say you want to write a post of “make money” if you just put make money as your title it will look broad and make it difficult for search engines to rank your post.

But with a long-tail keyword such as “How to make money online” or “7 ways to make money online” this will make it easier for search engines to know what your post is all about so they can rank your post when someone even types make money in the search engine bar.

Optimize Your Images

Your images in your blog post have a great role to play when it comes to SEO.

The mistake most people make is when they intend to use an image for a post they just upload it without changing the name.

It is best you rename your images to relate with the keyword you want to rank for before uploading it.

Another great way to optimize your images is while uploading them on your website you fill out the (alt) tag. One of the benefits of doing this is that it gives your images a description even without people seeing the image.

Put Links In Your Post

This is something every blogger should do as it helps to increase the amount of time people spend on your blog.

You can use internal links where you link to another post on your blog in one particular post so when someone finishes reading your post they can easily navigate to another post without clicking on your menus.

There is also what is called outbound links where you link to other websites such as affiliate links or websites that are related to your niche.

You can also use backlinks where other websites can link people back to your blog. Backlinks work well when websites that are bigger than yours links back to your blog.

SEO is something that every blogger should focus on so as to get free traffic to your blog.

tell me about click funnel
It’s a software that helps you sell your stuff online faster and easier.

When it comes to the making of sales funnels Clickfunnels is the easiest solution to a problem of having features like email marketing and affiliate program creation. And when I talk about easy, I mean that it takes as little as a couple of minutes to get your funnel operational and market ready. Just look at the alternative to Clickfunnels - hiring a development team to build everything for you from ground zero, which can cost you a pretty penny.

Now, all this talk about website building, you're probably wondering if Clickfunnels is a website builder, and the answer is a resounding yes. Some of the funnels it allows you to build include, sales funnels, including opt-in funnels, membership sites, webinars, and more. If you're wondering what these even are I will explain below.

- Opt-in funnels are used to capture e-mail addresses of your visitors and in turn, populate your mailing list which will prove a most valuable resource

- Sales funnels in the simplest, but most will say most important because your main goal is to actually sell your product or service, feature which also has the ability to add any upsells or downsells as we call them to your sales process

- Membership sites are just that, nothing to explain, only to add that thanks to their templates you can have them up and running in minutes time

- Webinar funnels are simply useful for helping a wide array of people to register for your webinar if that is your niche

That being said, don't think that you are limited on Clickfunnels with premade templates, their revolutionary simple editor called well, ClickFunnels editor is the star attraction of the SaaS s allows you to build different pages in your funnel through an easy drag, drop and click interface.

I said it before, but let me add again that absolutely no coding is required to build a good looking and operational funnel, and to top it off everything you do changes in real-time so even though you are doing business you can be imaginative and build a funnel which will perfectly match your product. The flexibility is truly amazing.

When talking about sales funnels, you should know that their main goal is to sell the product and which Clickfunnels that is exactly what you'll get, a good looking sequence of web pages dedicated to selling your product or service, with no complicated blogs, articles and stuff you could see on a site that invests heavily in SEO. And they accomplish that goal by bringing people from social networks like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and even blog post on various sites to your site, your funnel and ultimately the service or product you intend to sell.

Keep in mind that funnels are not exactly for everyone, and I mean that in the context of SEO, if you already dabble with SEO you might not want a funnel, but I would recommend it regardless as it turns simple visitors to customers.

Now, if I have some pros and cons when it comes to ClickFunnels, and you may review them below, but ultimately I heavily recommend ClickFunnels for your business.

Pros:

Easy to create complete funnel workflows

Integrates with major platforms and payment providers

Editor flexibility and simple to use

Excellent Coaching materials and ongoing weekly webinars

Nice looking templates for each type of funnel

2-tier affiliate program

Cons :

Comparatively expensive, especially the Etison plan

Limits on the number of funnels, pages and visitors with the standard plan

Can be overwhelming at first as you learn the ins and out, but if you keep things simple and take action, you’ll do fine

Nothing new has been said here. Google Algorithms change everytime, requiring you to constantly update your SEO strategy.

I'd rather you talk more on actual SEO strategies
that will help boost SERP rankings.

Link building for example, is one of the most natural ways to boost your Domain Authority. Tools like Ahrefs, Moz, SEMrush, Buzzstream etc. are the kind of things I would have expected you to discuss. You also want to discuss how to build backlinks the White Hat way - cold outreach emails, fixing broken links, resource pages, student discounts, Guest posts etc.
