6 Tips Basic SEO Techniques for Beginners
SEO tips at this time are MANDATORY to do, especially if our posts are as theme or as related as other blogger posts.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will be the difference because it will place a post (blog) in the top position, at least on the first page, the search results page (SERP).
Here are 6 Basic SEO Tips for Beginner Bloggers :
1. Optimize Post Permalink
After writing, edit the "Permalink" menu on the right sidebar. Click "Permalink"> select "Custom Permalink", especially if your post title is long and "complex".
- Try to keep the number of alphabets (characters) of the post title of no more than 50 characters and the title is interesting and unique for visitors to read.
- Remove "stop words" or unnecessary permalinked words, such as "a", "for", "and", "which", "divide", "to", "to", etc.
- for example: 10 Basic SEO Tips for Blogspot Blogs are changed to 7-Tips-SEO-Basics-Blog-Blogspot. (Don't forget to use dashes between words).
2. Set the Keyword Density
Keyword density is an important aspect for better ranking. However, it has to fit! If most, it will be considered spam and lower rankings. If it is not enough, the blog will rank in SERP too. The keyword density in a blog post is around 2%.
3. Use Label (Category) and Related Posts
Labels add to the post's keyword density. Labels also have an impact on the list of related posts. Use a special for 1 Label in every recent post of your blog.
4. Blog Post Title Format
Use SEO Friendly Meta Tag Title. Change the following directions in your blog template.
<title><data:blog.pagetitle/> </title>
Becomes
<b: if cond = 'data: blog.pageType == & quot; index & quot;'>
<title><data:blog.title/> </title>
<b: else />
<title><data:blog.pageName/> </title>
</ b: if>
5. Image Format (Image) for SEO
Optimize images, images, or illustration photos by filling in the "title text" and "alt text" that match the image file name and keywords or post title. Don't leave the images on your blog without description (alt text).
Image requirements must be a width of 650px X 350px, at least a hight size between 700-1000px and a width of 400-600px. (It can't be smaller or bigger). And of course the image must match the content of your content.
