Today I will share with you the known secrets on how you can make every of your blog posts show in each keyword related to your niche.

1. Write a unique blog posts/ contents

For your information, the journey of your blog post optimization starts from how well written and distinct your blog posts are. This is the major challenge most bloggers face, apart from the normal blog promotion activities.

A blogger who doesn’t want to learn the habit of creating a quality content will never find a way out blogging industry. Successful bloggers have to keep their head straight in demand to what visitor want, which high quality contents.

Moreover, Google also love quality content more than quantity. If you’ve decided to publish one single article in a day and you are sure it’s a quality content, it’s far better than publishing 10 articles that aren’t compelling or engaging.

Therefore, your unique content will always caught Google eyes first and get index as fast as you can think of.

2. Add “ALT” tag to your blog post images

I believe if you are a constant reader of this blog, you should have come across a post on adding tag to you blog posts. The issue here is that the “ALT” tag informs the search engine bots of the category in which your images falls.

The fact that bots cannot read images, which is why you need to tag it for proper categorization. For instance, if you upload an image and you did not add the ALT tag, bot/ search engine will not discover it but as soon as you add the ALT tag + keywords, search will discover it whenever such keyword is been search for, and this would help get more traffic to your blog.

3. Create Permalink for your blog post.

This has since been working for me; you need to take note that creating permalink for every blog post you write is very important, because this is a very good way for you to get good search result from the search engines.

The tweak behind creating this custom permalink is that you’ll set the permalink with your keyword, and this gives you more control over your blog posts and the blog itself.it provide more information to your visitor when your keywords are been shown from the search results.

4. Use Optimized Blog title (H1- H3)

Header tags are very important when it comes to search engine optimization. A lot of people find it very difficult to get their posts to the first ten searches of the Google result because they couldn’t optimize their blog post title.

This is very essential in that it makes search engine bots to easily crawl and show your post in the keywords that best suit it. If you are a naive in the use of header tag, then let me give you an introduction to it before I make a post on it.

Normally, we use H1 tag for the blog title, H2 and H3 tags are used for blog post titles. But by default, blogger has already assign H3 tags to blog post title which is not too good for search engine query. Therefore, if you want to make your posts visible in search engines, simply change your H3 to H2.

5. Submit your blog to Google Webmaster

I believe this post is now becoming more interesting right? Because I’ve already given virtually everything you need to get your blog post optimized. But we don’t have to leave the services of the great webmasters (Google and Bing).

All the post i had published this year wouldn’t have been a success without you reading them, even with this one you are reading. You people are just too amazing that i couldn’t find enough words to appreciate you all.

There are many times this year that i couldn’t just find passion and the zeal to write posts and publish, but because i knew that Very important readers like you will always come around this blog to learn one or two things, that alone keeps me going that i have a responsibility to take.

i just want to say a big thank you to my readers who has always supported me, also those that had left wonderful comments on this blog so far, this is just a concentrated truth that without readers, blogging will be boring.

He is a professional nurse that turned a veteran business blogger(bizsuccessguide), over and over again, i’ll keep saying this that he was the one that gave me the reasons to blog again, when i was drowning… he appeared like “JESUS” to pull me up.

Also, i will like to acknowledge Harleena Singh for the time she gave me when i was putting together “How to get social media shares like Pro’s Do- Harleena Singh as a case study“. Though it wasn’t easy getting her but she gave me the time. It wasn’t only her time she gave me, remember i said that there are times when i felt so depressed to write, what i did was to run to her blog and read up one or two amazing posts and i’ll be charge to write again.

And for other blogger friends that i ran to their blogs to learn new things when i’m in need of blogging literacy, like Theodore wrote, i love you all.

Therefore today, I will be discussing the basic guide lines all new bloggers need, to become a better and a successful blogger.

1. Be Passionate about Blogging:

This invariably is my first rule of blogging. Whenever you are passionate about what you do, you will always succeed in it. Are you passionate about blogging? Are you a kind of person that’s more concern about the health status of your blog? Are you always responding to your readers comment? If yes, then you are on the verge of succeeding with blogging.

Also Read: How do you know if your blog is making a difference?

When I talk about passion for blogging, I’m talking from the stand of the blogging that is convenient for you. When you love to teach people tips, trick and secret of blogging without making money yet with blogging, then you can consider yourself been passionate.

However, a lot of bloggers have dropped blogging all because they weren’t passionate about blogging when they started. And looking from the basis of why they started which was “make money”. But when they started for some time and couldn’t make anything, they faded. Be passionate about anything you do and you will succeed.

2. Get a good and professionally created Blog:

From a saying that “The way you are dressed, is the way people will address you”. It has been a very great and important thing to check when you venture into blogging, that you blog must be professionally designed.

3. Write Attractive Blog title:

This is a very important aspect of blogging that a new beginner should learn. Most times your blog title makes or breaks a particular post. What do I mean by this? When you write a captivating and an optimized blog post, then people are bond to read it heavily, but when you blog title is dull, you know opposite will be the case.

It is of paramount importance to know the issues about the topic you are discussing, and you content should focus more on your title. The title must not be too long, but must be optimized so it can meet with what your visitors are searching for on the web. Titles draw traffic for blogs; therefore your blog title must be very attractive so as to draw people to reading your blog. Remember, first impression last longer than anything.

4. Add Values with your content

Do you know that readers love blogs that add one or two things to their knowledge. I find it very interesting when I visit a blog, and I was able to find solutions to the challenge I came with. I keep telling people that for you to create a blog that will become evergreen; you need to learn how to write evergreen articles, solution articles.

What I mean by every green articles are post that in the next 10 years when a new bloggers come looking for “how to” solve a particular blogging issue; your blog will still be relevant. I believe you get my point? Solution blogs get massive traffic because they provide solutions to masses blogging problem.

The values you carry on your blog will determine how far and how strong it will become in the next 2-5 years. Therefore, add values with your blogs, provide solutions with your blog then your blog will be the next highly rated and sorted blog.

5. Update your blog regularly

The success of a blog depends strongly on how regular you update your blog with a high quality content. Blogging is all about providing useful information to your blog readers, which invariably help you to drive traffic to your blog.

6. Active and Reply Comments:

It is very important to give response to any comment made on your blog. Do you know why? It makes your reader build more trust in you. Imagine you having comment on a post for more than 2 weeks in which you needed an answer to one particular challenge, and nobody could reply your comment.

Most times, this is very frustrating and it makes any blogger who engage in that act to lose more readers than he/she can imagine. Therefore, I’ll employ you to pay more attention to you comments, and give necessary response to them.

7. Take cognizance of Keywords

The use of keywords are very important , when you use an irrelevant keywords for your blog just to rank high in search engines, then you are in for trouble and this may warrant penalty from Google. Therefore when you want to use keywords, make sure you use the ones your readers are searching for on your blog.

8. Use Social Media

9. Enjoy Blogging:

You only succeed in what you enjoy often. This is one of the secrets I share with new beginners, when you love your blog and blogging then success awaits you. A friend of mine told me that “You cannot enjoy what you are not passionate about”, which is absolutely true. You need to enjoy blogging, so as to enjoy the success coming.

10. Wait for success:

A very important aspect of blogging which every new blogger should know is that, blogging needs a lot of patience. In blogging, success is not overnight… but over time and the reward is over night.

A lot of people lose focus when they are not getting as much traffic and encouragement as they expected. But you need to be patient to build authority and relationship that will fetch you the success you want in blogging. There is a lot of hard work that is required in blogging.
