Blog SEO Tips and Tricks: Why are they Needed

Every 8 out of 10 Webmasters are maintaining their Blogs and trying max to attract a maximum numbers of OrganicTraffic, whether it be a Direct Traffic or through referrals or redirects or whatsoever mean it comes from. But the main focus of all webmasters remain the same and that is how to generate more and more traffic on their Blog or website. To achieve this they use various Blog SEO Tips & Tricks. Here are some Blog SEO Tips & Tricks that will surely help the readers to get more and more traffic on their Blog or website.

1. Content Targeting to Specific Group of Audience/ Visitors a must for Blog SEO:

The webmaster should take care of the content of their Blog’s Content. The content should basically target the desired specific group of visitors.

#2 – Participate in the Communities Where Your Audience Already Gathers

Advertisers on Madison Avenue have spent billions researching and determining where consumers with various characteristics gather and what they spend their time doing so they can better target their messages. They do it because reaching a group of 65+ year old women with commercials for extreme sports equipment is known to be a waste of money, while reaching an 18-30 year old male demographic that attends rock-climbing gyms is likely to have a much higher ROI.

#3 – Install Analytics and Pay Attention to the Results

For better Blog SEO, I’d recommend most bloggers install Google Analytics (which is free), and watch to see where visits originate, which sources drive quality traffic and what others might be saying about you and your content when they link over. If you want to get more advanced, check out this post on 18 Steps to Successful Metrics and Marketing.

Here’s a screenshot from the analytics of my wife’s travel blog, the Everywhereist:

As you can see, there’s all sorts of great insights to be gleaned by looking at where visits originate, analyzing how they were earned and trying to repeat the successes, focus on the high quality and high traffic sources and put less effort into marketing paths that may not be effective. In this example, it’s pretty clear that Facebook and Twitter are both excellent channels. StumbleUpon sends a lot of traffic, but they don’t stay very long (averaging only 36 seconds vs. the general average of 4 minutes!).

Employing analytics is critical to knowing where you’re succeeding, and where you have more opportunity. Don’t ignore it, or you’ll be doomed to never learn from mistakes or execute on potential.

#4 – Add Graphics, Photos and Illustrations (with link-back licensing)

If you’re someone who can produce graphics, take photos, illustrate or even just create funny doodles in MS Paint, you should leverage that talent on your blog. By uploading and hosting images (or using a third-party service like Flickr to embed your images with licensing requirements on that site), you create another traffic source for yourself via Image Search, and often massively improve the engagement and enjoyment of your visitors.

When using images, for better Blog SEO, I highly recommend creating a way for others to use them on their own sites legally and with permission, but in such a way that benefits you as the content creator. For example, you could have a consistent notice under your images indicating that re-using is fine, but that those who do should link back to this post. You can also post that as a sidebar link, include it in your terms of use, or note it however you think will get the most adoption.

In order to be properly ranked and indexed in major Search Engines and to get higher Page Ranking (PR) for their websites and blogs, Blogger/Bloggers use many tools and tactics to have their contents well ranked in search engines so that they can  attract more and more organic traffic on their websites or Blogs. In one my earlier Blog on Blogging Tools. But i thought to get all things be explained to a large extend and so here i am writing this post for my readers or fellow Blogger.
