Writing by Blog Marketing Journal on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 Comments Off
There are many many different blogs in cyberspace today. More and more pop up every single day only adding to the clutter and confusion. If you have been actively writing in your blog for a great deal of time and still see no traffic or interaction than you might want to take a look at something with your blog marketing. If you are not sure how to check to see if your blog is SEO friendly we are here to give you some pointers.
1. Keywords: Do you strategically use industry keywords and phrases when you write your blog posts? if not, you should. Keywords are how search engines find you and drop you into search results. This is important because many search and if your blog doesn’t appear than your just not going to be seen.
2. Custom URLs: Are you customizing your URL structure before you publish? Most updated versions of WordPress now offer a feature where you can customize what your URL looks like before you publish your post live. Search engines read words so if your URL structure has only the important keywords displayed in a nice clean shorter URL instead of just some random numbers you have a better chance of appearing in search results.
3. Enough Copy: Are your blog posts long enough? Remember search engines read words, that is how they find information so make your blog posts sort of meaty. Long enough where the search engines like them and short enough where a reader won’t leave because they are bored of reading. Usually 250-350 words for a blog post is sufficient.
