Headlines and keywords can be the life or death of any blog
When I first started blogging, I had no real idea about what goes into the whole process. When you first start out it can be time consuming and overwhelming.
Setting your blog up as well as writing your articles can take up much of your time and patients so you want to make sure it pays off in the end. Tip: (Search engines only seem to pick up good on articles with 250 words or more.) No sense in throwing that hard work down the toilet when your site is not getting the visitors.
First off when writing an article for your blog, come up with a catchy headline. Something that coincides with the blog topic and will bring visitors to see what is in that article that caught their eye. If the content is good, they will continue to come back again and again. So not only is a good headline going to bring readers but the content will keep them coming back. Tip: (During holiday season, do a few articles pertaining to each season and it will drive in the traffic)
Once you have finished your article and headline you will want to find the right keywords that the search engines will pick up. I have started to see a huge difference in the amount of traffic I have been getting from Google. Search your topic for popular keywords on just about any keyword search engine. Once you add the right keywords in your traffic will increase over night.
I am by far an expert on this subject but have seen these things increase my traffic very well. If you have any other tips you want to share leave a comment for everyone to see. I wish you all a good Friday and happy job hunting.
Grazie, great info, also a daily blog grabs more visitors.Have a great week-end….
When I first started blogging I had no idea what kind of time and work it was going to entail. I do enjoy writing my blogs, but as you said.. it takes a while to perfect it!
I got a tip I wanted to pass on to you and your readers…
I went to www.oDesk.com This is a site that you can put in your resume, take tests to increase your skill level that is visible to companies and get a daily email on business’ that are hiring according to your skills. This is for writing, web site stuff, data entry, blog and articles, you name it! oDesk takes 10% for getting you the job in the first place. The jobs are ligit (meaning they are real jobs) but some are asking to pay you silly amounts like $1 for hours of work. The majority are not like that though. So…. check it out and give it a try. The company gives you lots of tips and helpful advice. I joined less than 2 wks ago and already have my first job!
