SEO is a very important part of your blog because it allows search engines such as Google to find your blog. Without a powerful presence on social media, having good SEO or not means the difference between being seen and being invisible. Here are 5 ways to improve your SEO so your blog gets noticed by the masses:
- Reduce your blog’s bounce back rate. For a really long time, I did nothing about bounce back rate. I didn’t know anything about bounce back rate, how to reduce bounce back rate, or that it even had an impact on SEO. There are a bunch of ways to reduce the bounce back rate on your blog, and all of them are easy to implement. After implementing these tactics, the bounce back rate for my own blog went from a rate of 83% to a rate of 62% in just one month.
- Use words in your blog posts’ titles that help out towards SEO. On this blog, there are a lot of posts with one of the following words in the title: SEO, Blogging, Social Media, Twitter, Pinterest, and Business. By using these keywords, people will find you when they type those keywords into Google’s search box.
- Keep your blog fresh. By updating your blog with new content as much as you can, you will rank higher for Google’s keywords. Google doesn’t want to put up a blog that hasn’t been updated for 2 years. Make sure your blog is properly getting updated so it rises above the competition. Showing up is not half the battle. However, showing up consistently is half the battle.
- Get backlinks for your blog. One way to get a backlink for your blog is by becoming a guest blogger. Another way to get a backlink for your blog is just by having your own Pinterest account. Another way to get a backlink from your blog is by commenting on other people’s blogs.
- Unlock social media’s potential. Social Media is big towards SEO. The reason I really like social media is that you have more control over your results. If you have a big following on a social network, you can get a lot of visitors to your blog that way. Include social media buttons at the bottom of your blog posts so your visitors can easily share your blog posts across all of their social networks.
