Blogging for SEO

If you write a blog and you write more than 300 words in your
blog posts then you might want some tips on how to make your blog post
better from a search engine optimization perspective. Coincidentally,
these tips will also help your blog post in other ways as well. Here
are some ways you can improve those long posts:

• Break up your paragraphs with subheadings - If you
  write for more than three paragraphs, add a subhead. It should be short
  and contain your keyword. Make the subhead an h2 or use the
  font=”+2″ tag.
• Add a graphic or two - Graphics break up text real
  well. You can align left or right or place the graphics between
  paragraphs. Whatever looks good, man. Plus, add an alt tag to each
  graphic to give it some SEO juice.
• Don’t stuff keywords - Many bloggers are
  tempted to stuff keywords into their content. It isn’t necessary.
  If you write good content and include enough SEO elements, managing
  your keywords and links well, then you don’t have to stuff
  keywords.
• Add tags - The latest edition of WordPress gives
  you a Tags field below your content box. Use it. Add three to five tags
  that correspond to the content of your blog post.
• Chose more than one category - Put your blog post into as many categories as is relevant, not just one.

When it comes to SEO, long posts have a better chance of ranking
well if they are optimized. Short posts can rank too, but optimization
is the same. You don’t have to stuff keywords. Add the proper
tags and you’ll do well in the optimization game.
