Tips from March 18, 2010
The Small Business tips today discuss SEO (search engine optimization) for blogs.
- Keep your content fresh. The easiest tip for SEO
is to have great content that will get you found without much
promoting. The quality of your work and original content will get you
found on the top search engines.
- Keywords - Important words
that people will search for search engines, such as Google, Yahoo!, or
Bing, are important when creating your blog post. Keywords should be in
your title, subtitle, URL, and tags.
- Posting links to your blog
in outside sources provides links back to your website. Unfortunately,
this could also be labeled as spam if done incorrectly. Keep posting
your blogs on comments to other blogs in your industry, or those that
you know personally and professionally. Don't get too carried away, you
could ruin your reputation.
- Social media provides a great way
to provide a link for others outside your community, industry, or
readership to read your blog. Twitter is a way to direct people back to
you. Provide links to your content, and your name and brand will act as
a platform.
