HOW TO RANK HIGH IN GOOGLE SEARCH -2015 DISCOVERY

A very good day to you out there allbloggingcoach readers, bringing yet another value added post is always our pride on this great blog. Though, it’s been a while we update the blog but these are reasons we will let you know subsequently. But I bet you, it’s for the benefit of our readers and our loyal subscribers.

Get Quality Traffic HERE For 30day

During the course of been away for a while, I learnt so many things and part of which I’m about to share with you. Ranking high in Google has been the prior of all webmasters and bloggers. There is always that joy when a friend of yours called you to tell you that he/she saw your blog among the first 10 searches on the web.

Therefore, have you searched so much on how to rank high in Google search and you couldn’t get? Then you are on the right blog. Like seriously I won’t be taking much of your time, we’ll just go straight to “ranking high in Google” and also part of what we’ll be discussing will be on submission of your blogs to search engines, and you can open this on another tab HERE. Ranking high in Google search doesn’t take much process when done appropriately. So therefore, sit back and enjoy the ride.

HOW TO RANK HIGH IN GOOGLE SEARCH

The first we’ll be talking about here is:

1. DO YOUR KEYWORD RESEARCH

There is no escape route to this. If you want to get ranked on google search by readers or surfers, then you need to make use of keywords because these are guidelines to what people wants on the internet.

Perhaps there was a time a write out of inspiration like I’m doing, but I bet you its keyword tight. The simple truth is that when you write posts without keywords, people can only see you when you share on social medias, but might take a very long time for Google to recognize it and fixed it as a keyword to the blog.

I never said writing with inspiration is bad, but I’m only trying to say that when you get that inspirational “post tittle”, like I often do, try and use GOOGLE KEYWORD PLANNER and see if people also search keywords like that, and if Google keyword planner could not find the word, it will automatically give you related keyword and which invariably mean that is what people search for.

2. FIX YOUR KEYWORDS SMARTLY IN YOUR POST

“Smile”. Are you aware that it’s not just about using keywords, but about how well you fix them to the post you want to publish.

There was a time I was having serious issues with getting ranked on my blog, then I discussed with a blogger friend, and he told me this I’m about to put down.

I believe this is applicable to all platform of blogging anyway, but for those that use blogger blog; here this. For you to rank high in google search, then you need to make your keywords appear in the following section of your post.

a. Your keyword should appear in the post tittle
b. The first paragraph of the post, and at least 3-5 keywords and also bolded.
c. Your permalink should also have your keyword. If you don’t know what permalinks is, then read it HERE.
d. There is always a description box that appears with your post title in google search.

Your keyword for that particular post must also reflect in there before you publish.

Whoa! I heard someone said?

3. SUBMIT YOUR BLOG TO SEARCH ENGINES

Do you have to wait for Google crawlers to come over to your blog before you get notice by surfers? Hell NO. The fastest way to submit your blog/post to Google is found HERE.

Do you know millions of people publish every day and only few of them knew that one can submit his/her post to Google in less than 1 minute. The beauty of ranking high is Google search is for you to get your post index very fast on Google.

At times it takes more than 3 days before Google could index one’s post, and we aren’t patient to that extent because we want our post to be ranked in Google search.

4. SHARE ON BLOG COMMUNITIES/DIRECTORIES

This two means I mention above has been given a strong mandate to activate post indexing and generate serious traffic to a blog. Blog communities like Blog engage, dosplash, bizsugar etc.

To my best of ability, I think I joined up to 30 blog communities that I always share my post immediately I publish the articles. Sharing on blog community not only give your blog visibility, but also get noticed and also traffic will be added.

5. SHARE YOUR POST ON SOCIAL MEDIAS

Believe it or not, social media has proven to be a huge success when it comes to blog visibility and traffic.

NB: do you know that the amount of traffic a post generates also determine how high is ranked on Google? That’s a hint anyway.

A very good deal to do when you share on social media is to use harsh tag with your keywords and share on many groups.

There is no doubt; this post has helped you a lot. I believe this above points has really gone a long way to solve your challenges with ranking your post high in Google search.

Please before you leave this page, kindly share this post with your friends and followers on Facebook and on other social Medias. Also don’t forget to subscribe to our daily update. YOU ARE THE BEST.

SEO Benefits of Directories Submission

Noticed that the issue of directory submission has almost gone down the rain. When it comes to popular internet directories, then we should be talking about DMOZ and Yahoo!. Directories organize links under various categories and also sub-categories.

Solo ads Your business/product to 1 Million MLM Subscribers

It’s was once said that search engines get most web credibility and webmasters failed to recognize the significance of submitting their links to web directories.

Submit Your Blog to Top Social bookmarking sites

Perhaps, this days we hardly people doing these web directories because they believed links are not that very important when it comes to SEO, but they forgot that search engines use these web directories as potent referral systems and there is a reason behind it.

Also a very good benefit of getting your link included in web directories is that your link is indexed by the search engines quickly. The search engine crawlers crawls the Internet to obtain information on the recently updated or created links, and they start the crawling with the web directories and first crawl all those links present in the directory.

However, in as much as new search engines are launched, they often automatically go through the web directories to quickly index the already-validated links. Whoa! Interesting right? This saves you tons of time in submitting your links to various search engines individually.

Therefore, I’ll like to do quick summary of the benefit you can derive from submitting your links to web directories

Here’s a quick summary of the benefits of submitting your links to web directories:

Directory submissions send tons of targeted traffic

The interception of web directories gives People Avenue to find the right links under the right categories. Even if you submit your link under a wrong category, you’ll have a great possibility that the human editor will place your link under the correct category.

Now you can see that there are good reasons why you need to submit your links to the various web directories, for SEO benefit. You should either do it yourself or assign the task that does directory submissions professionally — it’s worth the cost. You can hire me.

Directory submissions give you one-way links

It has always been that search engines give more preference to the number of inbound links to one’s site that came from web directories.

Link exchange tactics has been dropped by search engines, but they recognizes the importance of one- way inbound link with high regard, which is why web directory submission is a recommendable method to get one’s link indexed.

Directory submissions allow the anchor text of your choice

When you submit your links to web directories they allow you to enter a site title (site title is different from the URL) that can contain your keywords. This generates SEO anchor text for you and this helps you improve your search engine rankings.

So you see there are overwhelming reasons to submit your links to the various web directories. You should either do it yourself or assign the task that does directory submissions professionally — it’s worth the cost.

Other benefits of directory submission

• Increases backlinks of website

• Helps in permanent listing in others website

• Niche Directory Website list helps to get relevant backlinks

• Guarantees in effective search engine indexing

Conclusively, directories submission plays an important role in marketing new ventures as the websites gain global visibility on the internet through this technique. With these useful tips, you not only gain massive traffic but also targeted traffic which help your site to be at the top and get popular in the search engines.

For a while now, I guess bloggers have become mute on SEO and most especially for blogger blogs. Everybody now talks about wordpress. From the research I did earlier this week, I still found out that the percentages at which people open new blogs on blogger platform is more than wordpress. So what are we now saying?

Today a brought a topic that all bloggers think they know well about, but with the update I added, you need to read this. Blogger permalink is a very good means of ranking your keyword high, yes or yes? If you set your targeted keywords well, you’ll surely drive a massive traffic. Though, before we move ahead and learn how to use it for better SEO of your Blogger blog, let’s learn more about Permalink:

What are custom Permalink?

Talking from BlogSpot blog’s perceptive, this is a situation whereby you set your targeted keywords in a Google link subway. See one example below.

Here is an example of normal Permalink vs Custom permalink:

• http://www.allbloggingcoach.com/7-ways-to-customize-your-blogger-permalink-effectively.html

• http://www.allbloggingcoach.com/blogger-custom-permalink.html

In the second example, I’ll like to talk more on Keyword Blogger Custom permalink, and that’s why I removed all other Keywords. Simple but very effective right?

Before blogger got advanced, we had no means to configure/customize the Blogger permalink ,but in recent SEO addition, Blogger team make way for the availability of configuring permalink in BlogSpot blog. Unlike WordPress, where the permalink can be controlled on the site wide i.e. for all other posts.

How to set Blogger Permalink for better SEO

When the need arises for you to set the blogger permalink for individual blog post, all you need to do is to do away with URL that breaks in Google search, and use keywords in your permalink. You can target short-tail or long-tail Keywords, depending upon which Keyword you are targeting.

Now, when you write a Blog post in Blogger blog, just try and locate Permalink option, click on it, select custom URL and add your permalink there. I know for newbie, it may sounds like Arabic speech to add your own permalink, but I’ll expanciate more on it.

When you write a new blog post on your blog,and for example your title is How to customize your blogger blog permalink, by default BlogSpot will make a permalink like

http://domain.blogspot.com/yy/mm/how-to-customise-your-blogger-blog-permalink.html

Instead of you to use such long Permalink, you will simply add Blogger-custom-permalink or custom-permalink in custom URL. Remember, your Keywords are separated by ‘-‘(Dash).

If you need more information on the same, check out this video by Matt Cutts:

Note: Another thing, which you should keep in mind,don’t change your permalink after publishing an article (on any platform), unless you can set a 301 redirection or you’ll keep having error 301.

How to optimize your blog post titles by Replacing H3 with H2 For better ranking

Blog titles is strongly one of the secret ways to call up your blog in search enagine results, if properly optimized. In my last post, I discussed on how you can add Meta description to your blogger blog.

I find out lately that most new bloggers still use blogger platform, most especially those that are in other niches. But today, I will be talking on how you can optimize you blog titles by using H2 tag. This is a very important aspect of search engine which you need to know and most especially if you are still using blogger platform.

Headline tags start from H1 and go up to H6 in decreasing order of size. They play acute importance in your blog template optimization. Just as I explained in my previous post that Meta description is a way to tell the search engine what your blog is all about.

Headlines, bolded and highlighted texts catches attention. By default all blogger templates are made such that the H1 tag is given to Homepage Main Title, H2 is given to Blog Description or Header dates, sidebar headers and H3 is assigned for post titles.

Which invariably mean that your Post titles are second most important part of your blog after the main title. Sidebar titles and Post description are peanuts in comparison to your post titles. Do you know that it’s you post title that pings search engines for updates and they are indexed and as well crawled by robots.

When it comes to SEO, we often refer to post title as the KING while the post body which is the content is refer to as the Queen; funny right? So if the so called king is addresses with a wrong header tag (H3) instead of H2, then I think you should start looking for alternative to get search engine traffic.

How to Change Post Titles Heading Tags in Blogger Blogs

To change post titles default H3 tag to H2 heading Tag then follow the steps below,

Go To Blogger> Design > Edit HTML

2. Backup your template

3. Search for .post h3

4. and replace it with .post h2 (keep replacing that for all occurrences of .post h2)

5. Then search for,

<h3><data:title></data:title></h3>
And replace it with this,

<h2><data:title></data:title></h2>

6.Save your template and Congratulations the job is done.

How to add Meta Description in your Blogger blog

Meta description is a very important and crucial part of one’s blog composition for search engine optimization SEO. These Meta tags are commonly located in the header of our website that is always invisible to users visiting the site.

Well, to be more succinct, these tags have only one purpose: to include information about the page such as author’s name, date, keyword, description, title, among others. That’s just what the Meta tag does.

Google bots also like to read Meta tags of a site or blog and give these tags (title, keywords and description) information to Google search engine about the blog. According to these tags, your blog is shown in Google search engine results pages (SERP’s) as to what you’ve already inputted in the head section of what your blog is all about.

What is Meta Description?

Meta description in a simple term is an HTML or XML element that shows the description of a web page to the search engine crawlers. It tells the information about your web page to crawlers so that search engines may provide your web pages in search results for a particular keyword.

How to Add Meta Description to every post in Blogger

If you look at your blogger settings very well, you’ll notice that by default the Meta description setting is disabled so we’ll need to enable it so that it can start working perfectly well.

The first section shows how to enable the Meta description for your blog homepage only and the last section will show you how to set meta tags for every of your post.

Simply follow the steps below.

• Go To Blogger >> Settings >> Search Preferences

• Look For Meta Tags Section and Tick “Yes” To Enable It.

• Now a box will appear where you have to write your Meta tag or description. Make sure that it doesn’t exist 150 characters.

Click Save Changes!

Note: if you are using a custom template for your blog then you should sit tight and read this. Most often it’s always very impossible for Meta tags to work on custom template, but if you are using the normal blogger default, then you are good to go.

Now for you to make the Meta tags work properly on custom template, you need to insert a short XML code into your blog template.

Just follow the steps below.

• Go To Blogger >> Template >> Edit HTML

Search For <head> and Paste The Following Code Below <head>

<b:if cond=’data:blog.metaDescription != ""’>
<meta expr:content=’data:blog.metaDescription’ name=’description’/>
</b:if>

• Save Your Template and You have successfully added Meta tags for homepage.

• Now let’s jump to next step.

How to add Meta Tags to every post.

It’s straight forward, after you have enabled the homepage’s Meta tag, the next thing for you to do is to move to the post editor or create new post.

You will see “search description” section by the right hand corner of the side bar, simply write the description of the post. This search description was initially disabled, but after enabling the homepages’ it will automatically enable for every of the post and pages.

Below is a diagrammatically representation of how you will go about it.

Over to you

Dear friends, this is just a simple way to set your blogger Meta description. It is easier than what people thought. If you follow the discussed steps, you’ll find it very easy. Thanks for stay tune and been patient.

Remember to subscribe for the next update, I’m trying to go back to the basic of blogging seo which I believe will benefit those who are not in blogging niche and most especially the new bloggers.
