8 Tips to Write SEO
Friendly Posts
Below are some tips to write SEO friendly
posts in Blogger that Yoast SEO plugin itself would suggest you.
1. It’s time to write a good
title
Post title matters a lot in
terms of healthy SEO. If you have added all the relevant keywords in the title
that you want to rank for then there are huge chances for your Blogger post to
rank on the top of SERPs. Search engines such as Google are designed in
such a way so that the SERPs can only show up the first 50-60 characters of your post title, or as many
characters that will fit into a 512-pixel display.
This limit is not fixed. Sometimes Google highlights some keywords from your
title according to the searched query and that also increases the width of
the title.
For the titles with length more
than the limit, Google removes some part of the title and adds three dots (…)
at the end of it. So to be at the safe side, try to keep your title under 55 characters to ensure 95% chances for the proper title on SERPs.
If your blog title is set to show up at the end or starting of
the post title then
don’t forget to add those characters too to the posts title characters.
Summation of both must be equal to or lesser than 60 characters.
2. Set a Focus Keyword
Think of the focus keyword as the topic of
your page or post. Focus keyword is what your post is all about. A good post
doesn’t have multiple topics, it focuses only on one topic at a time. Focus
keyword tells SERPs what exactly your post is all about.
Working around a particular keyword
shouldn’t be an issue. But we’ve seen most people trying to add irrelevant
keywords to their posts and then hope to rank the site for all of them. It’s
not possible. Google’s ranking system works on the concept of ‘precision’. The
more precise your post is (according to the search query), the higher your rank will be.
Optimizing a post for multiple keywords is
detected as ‘spam’ by Google. So, try to optimize your pages for one keyword
and do that well. But how? Very simple, choose a keyword which in the real
sense describes your post the best. Focus keyword should be at most of 2 or 3
words. Avoid the use of any stop words in your focus keyword.
To make effective use of focus keyword from
SEO Perspective, use the focus keyword at the following places:
·
Post Title (h1)
·
Article Heading (h2)
·
Page URL
·
At the beginning of the post (in the first paragraph)
·
In “alt” text of at least one of your post’s
images
·
In between content and meta
description
If you are writing an article about SEO
then certainly the focus keyword is also “SEO” because it best describes your
article. So your post’s title, heading, URL, content, and meta description much
be involving the keyword “SEO”.
3. Write a short yet
descriptive Meta
description
How to Enable Search
