Optimizing Your Web Page for Search Engines (On-Page SEO) - Part 4

Optimizing Your Web Page for Search Engines (On-Page SEO) - Part 4


By now, your blog should be brimming with content you've poured your heart into. It ought to serve as a vibrant hub for the community within your chosen niche, rather than a dull collection of facts




Yet, no matter how delectable your content may be, if there's no one around to savor it, you won't reap any rewards. Traffic is the lifeblood of your blog. To entice people, you must offer compelling information. That's the basic premise.


However, to draw traffic to your site, you need to think in reverse. Where do people go when they seek information? They turn to search engines like www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, and www.msn.com, among others. To bring these individuals to your blog, your site must rank high in the search results of these search engines. When these individuals search for information and spot your site among the top results, they'll naturally click through to your blog!


The art of securing high rankings for your blog or website on search result pages is known as search engine optimization (SEO). It's a complex and intricate field, but that shouldn't deter us from learning straightforward yet effective techniques to conquer search results for specific keywords. The more complex techniques are typically reserved for highly competitive and broad keywords like "fat loss," but I'll address those methods later.


For now, let's identify the keywords you want to optimize your site for. Suppose your blog revolves around tech gadgets. Begin by checking in Google whether it's an extremely competitive keyword. As of my writing, there are 29,000,000 search results. Do you think you can outshine 29,000,000 other sites on your first attempt? I doubt it.


Let's try to narrow our focus. Consider searching for "technological gadgets" instead. At this moment, Google lists 792,000 results. That's more manageable, but you'll want to search for even more specific keywords. However, for the sake of learning, let's optimize your blog for "technological gadget."


First and foremost, pay careful attention to the title of your blog. Since you're optimizing for technological gadgets, make sure that exact phrase is present in your blog title." would be highly effective. You can adjust the title of your blog in the Blogger control panel or in the WordPress blog creation process. If you're comfortable with HTML, you can do this in other blog engines like Moveable Type. In essence, a little knowledge of HTML can go a long way!


Furthermore, your page heading should also incorporate the term you're optimizing for. The page heading is the portion of text enclosed within the  and  tags in your code. This is crucial because it informs search engines about the subject of your page (in this case, "technological gadgets"). Since you're posting a blog, the   tags usually pertain to the post titles, so remember to include the term whenever relevant.


Lastly, endeavor to sprinkle the words "technological gadgets" throughout your posts whenever it fits naturally. The consistent presence of this phrase in your blog will signal to search engines that your content is genuinely pertinent to the topic.


However, here's the most crucial piece of advice: always bear in mind that you're writing for real people who visit your blog to gather information. It's counterproductive to inundate your blog with keywords. In fact, doing so may lead search engines to believe you're engaging in spammy practices, resulting in a drop in your ranking. So, remember this golden rule: Write for humans, not search engines!
