5 On-Page SEO Tips
1. Strive for keyword prominence: If your post is about the best fluffy pancake recipe, then the entry should be entitled as such. Imagine yourself doing a Google search for your entry. Mentioning the keywords in the main text makes it easy for search engine crawlers to pick up the main thought of the entry.
2. Post interesting, quality content: There’s no other way around it – content makes up a website. It has been established that putting up a blog on a static website helps a lot in SEO. The more text search spiders crawl, the more chances at ranking you get.
3. Update with consistency: Update your blog on a regular basis. A regularly updated website also gets crawled more often.
4. Link to yourself, and to others: Start building backlinks. Some SEO practitioners consider these as their bread and butter, and would even pay to get them secured. Link to other pages on your blog to let the search engines know how related your blog posts are, and how much content you have to offer on a certain subject.
5. Use images: Images make reading a post easier. I gives the eyes a breather from all the black-and-white (or what ever color scheme you’re using). Some people (like me) sometimes use the image search instead of the regular web search to search for information.
