SEO for Bloggers: 4 Ways to Boost Your Relationship with Search Engines

SEO for bloggers

With Valentine’s Day just behind us, it’s the perfect time to treat your blog to a proper business strategy.

Search engine optimization is a good place to start.

Search engines are a huge traffic driver if you’re properly indexed and have authority on a topic to rank high in search.

So whether you write as a hobby or for business, here are some things to keep in mind as you work to optimize the relationship with your readers.

1. Content

Content isn’t so much “king” as it is “key.” Without quality content backing up you link building services, you’re not even getting in the front door.

With recent algorithm updates, Google has made it known that each individual page is being judged on the quality and relevancy of its content. Quantity also can hurt if the quality isn’t there, so save your efforts on producing more and instead focus on fewer high-quality posts.

An editorial calendar can help you plan out quality content at an appropriate pace, and prepare for seasonal events that can help drive traffic.

You also should consider other sources of material to support your content, including interviews and news releases, which can help boost the credibility of your writing.

2. User Experience

A bad site experience can dramatically pull down quality content. Encourage your readers to stick around long-term with the implementation of a proper interface and improved site speed.

3. Mobile Experience

Google announced its primary search index would switch from desktop to mobile  at some point in 2017.

In addition, the Google AMP carousel (AMP = accelerated mobile pages) has been front and center in mobile search results. If you’re on WordPress, you should consider trying the Google AMP plugin for your most newsworthy content. You can find more information here on the WordPress site.

4. Photos

Including photos with your blog posts is extremely important, especially if you want to reap the benefits of traffic from image-based search engines like Google image search.

Here, unlike text-based content, search engine bots can’t see and identify your content like a normal reader can (yet). It relies on alt text and content surrounding the image to identify and understand more about that image.

To help, try the SEO Friendly Images plugin. It will automatically update all images with proper alt text and title attributes.How to optimize photos on your blog in WordPress
