SEO simply means ‘search engine optimization’.

Have you taken time to use the exact heading of your article to browse on any search engine?

To be honest, I also complain about my articles not ranking so high on search engines despite how beautiful and wonderful i think my articles or stories are. Like Thanos said, reality is often disappointing.

I’ve realised that it is easy to unleash vitriols and displeasure at our articles not trending, or going viral or generating the needed revenue. Some even get rejected after we must have taking out time to write them. As a writer, nothing else can be more demoralising. It’s so painful that, it has led many who ventured into writing to quit as soon as they started because they became frustrated and succumbed to it.

Before you start complaining that your write ups are not getting the required attention you intended as a writer, how much do you know about keywords and relevance?

I guess noone told you that people search for terms online through keywords and relevance. It’s something that is actually quite easy to imagine and comprehend. The internet is so big that only certain keywords will trigger search engines to locate the best optimally curated material specifically designed or written to address an online query.

Therefore, in order to rank high, it’s common sense that your articles should be SEO optimized for more engagement.

I once used a word for word quote of an article i wrote on OperaNewshub to see if i will at least see it ranking as the first link on Google search. The reality was totally disappointing for me. I had to give up searching for the article because it was nowhere to be found on Google search results. That was a really humbling experience, and it motivated me to write this article. As well as talking to you the reader, i’m also talking to myself because I’m still pretty much new to the world of SEO.

Before writing any article, its best to make sure it is SEO optimized. This fact cannot be overemphasized. You will be surprised at the number of articles with similar headlines and contents than yours on almost everything you can write on. The difference between each of this articles is how peculiar they are to the search terms being asked in search engines. Another thing is how well the articles are optimised for search engine results.

I learnt this lesson the hard way, and i know i would have gone far in my writing career if i knew about this simple tricks and tips which i am now sharing.
