How to Optimize Your Blog for Search Engines?

Blogs are naturally search engine friendly and optimizing your blog for search engines is really no different than optimizing your website.

Here are some suggestions to get you started.

Back Links: Backlinks play a very big role in Google's pagerank algorithm. Backlinks are extremely important to your blog's rankings, so make sure you have a large number of backlinks.

Here is a list of places to submit your feed or blog.

Make use of the alt description tag: Spider bots cannot read images, so when adding images to your blog it's important to place information within the alt and anchor text of pictures.

Make good use of anchor text: Don't use "click here" or other non-descriptive link text. Always use keywords as your anchor text. Google loves anchor text.

Use relevant keywords: Did you know that in a 48 hour period there was 6138 searches done for game cheats? Wow! It looks like a majority of gamers are cheaters.When creating titles for your blog posts think about the words that web surfers will be typing to find your blog.

'Inventory Overture Keyword Selector Tool' is one of the best-known services for helping you choose the right keywords. Use ‘Inventory Overture Keyword Selector Tool’ to find what people are actually typing in to the search engines. I also suggest subscribing to Word Tracker. Their report of the most popular searches is published each Tuesday and distributed to over 30,000 subscribers.

Technorati.com , is a blog search engine that also lists the top searched for words. The more targeted your keywords are, the greater your return in search engines will be. Use keywords in the body of your post as well as in blog header tags and the title of your posts.

Update frequently: Remember that content is king and search engines love it, so update your blog regularly.

Be sure to read my articles "Link Popularity in the Blogosphere, Major Search Engine Submission: How to get listed in Google, Yahoo and Msn and Blogging- Developing a Readership."

Remember to optimize your blog for both search engines and people. Search engine optimization is hard work and an ongoing process. Invest a little time and learn the proper techniques and not only will your traffic come, but you'll increase your page rank too.

Top 5 Secrets To Blogging

No. 1 Secret - CONTENT IS KING

Yesh, you hear me right. Content is the most important in creating any blog. Without good content, will readers actually bother to come back to read your site? Not only must you have good content but it must be off quality content and do not be too concern about how your blog layout looks like! Anyway people come to your site is for the content not to see your nice graphics =P

Be as honest as you get in your articles. Do not be afraid to share your ideas in your comments, in fact the more honest and open I was in my articles I realized there were more people sharing my information around the Internet.

No. 2 Secret - Find A Good Niche Topic
Before, you go out there setup your domain or blog. You first have to decide what topic you want your blog to talk about? Let’s say you are good at playing soccer and you want to focus on writing about soccer related topics. Find a good niche market on the internet to find out what people like to know about soccer and create a blog or site based on soccer only!

Example, my site www.gathersuccess.com it focus mainly on helping others to improve on their sites with topics related to Internet Marketing. Why niche topic? Well the more targeted your topic is the more targeted your readers on your site will be. Meaning those who visit your site often are the people that are generally interested to know about the topic you want to share!

So like me, I talk most of the time of topics related on Internet Marketing . Have you ever seen me write an article about dog food and soccer?

No. 3 Secret - Forums
Go to forums! Join communities that are related to your topics and share information in the forums to share put your signature link in the forums to get more information to your site.

No. 4 Secret - Install Feedburner
If you have a blog, and you are not getting index by Google. You must install FeedBurner to your site. FeedBurner will help you announce to search engines what you have posted on to your blog to allow RSS readers to subsruibe to your site and at the same time the search engine will index your entries on your site! More about Feedburner here.

No. 5 Secret - Register with Technorati.com
Because my website is not only a site but it is also a blog, I can submit my site to Blog Search Engine. One very famous Blog search engine you must know is Technoarti.com. I got free traffic coming from Technoarti.com every time I post something up onto my blog. It VERY useful. Register your blog at www.Technoarti.com.
