Three Quick Fixes To Boost Your Blog's Search Engine Rankings
Quick and easy fixes for your blog that does wonders in the search engines... who doesn't like that?
Let's look at three of them today:
1. Put the title of your blog at the end of all individual entries title tag.
Do your entries look like this? "Blogname - Entry title" Switch them around. Search engines like to see your keywords at the beginning. "Entry Title - Blogname" is the way to go. You will fix this in your template settings for individual entries. Look for the title tag in the beginning of the template file. Before you change anything in your template make sure you save a backup copy in case you make a mistake.
2. Incorporate your main keyword into your blog.
When people link to you they normally put either the name of your blog or your URL. So why not make it easier for them and the search engines.
Here are two examples:
1. Jay at Phoenix Real Estate Guy
2. Joel at Future of Real Estate Marketing
If you don't have your own domain for your blog you should consider it.
3. Put your target keywords in your title when you write new posts.
The title of a page is hugely important. If there are no keywords in the title it's not likely to rank high.
So if you write entries about your local marketplace make sure you use your top keywords frequently
as the entry title.
Best,
Ola
