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.
