Every Blogger wants to be a SEO-smart Blogger, but unfortunately it is not an easy task. The main problem behind this is that many bloggers don't have enough knowledge about SEO, they mess up the traditional SEO techniques with blogs, they do not adopt the "blog-only" SEO practices and of course, they think SEO is just a technique that they can do by some mouse clicks! But the fact is: SEO is an intuitive process, rather better to say, it is a combination of multiple processes of intuitive nature because different SEO professional have his/her own SEO methods to promote any website or blog. Surprisingly, every Blogger thinks he/she have mastered the art after reading some SEO methods over the Internet! But this is not so simple, as mentioned earlier, the entire SEO process is intuitive; that is the reason why people use it differently. For example: some bloggers promote his/her blog by commenting in other high traffic Blogs, on the other hand, some bloggers create videos based on their content and distribute the videos to various video sharing sites like: YouTube and Yahoo! Video. From this perspective, different bloggers promote their blogs differently. But what you have to do for your blog? This question is very important for your whole SEO process. Before doing anything, you must determine your blog's content type. For example: if your blog is related to technology, video would probably be the perfect promotional method, where as if you are going to offer something like finance, then you must create some presentation to prove your concept and that is why sharing slides will probably be the best way to generate some qualified traffic.
The Value of Keywords
Many Bloggers use multiple keywords in their blog post and this is a VERY BAD idea and this blogging habit could completely ruin your traffic. When you incorporate multiple keywords in your post, your post competes with single keyword tagged and for the search engines, posts that talk about specific things are much more relevant to users, so they will display those results first. So, it is suggested that, always try to incorporate a single keyword in your blog post.
Alternatively, you have to incorporate the "single" keyword in your article's "introduction" and "conclusion". If possible, if you ask some questions to your readers, in that case - incorporate the keyword. This is one of the best ways to get visible in search engines. Not only that, being a Blogger, you have to be creative and find some alternative ways to keep your targeted keywords.
Many Technologies To Your Rescue
RSS is another most untouched area of blog promotion that most Bloggers overlook. But it is true that RSS has enough potential to promote your blog?. RSS feeds are mostly popular with students, researchers, IT specialist and SEO professionals. So, what you've to do? Create your Blog's RSS feed first and then submit the RSS feed into various high traffic RSS submission directories and you will get some links from them which will position you higher on the search engines. But the question is: what is the significance of RSS feed? Well, RSS feed subscribers, i.e. your readers will automatically get updates when you post something new on your blog.
Another most common problem for any new Blogger is navigation and content continuality and relevancy. As a Blogger, you must keep your blog simple, so that your readers/visitors easily navigate your blog and find their desired content. And finally, make your content relevant. Do not mix various subjects in your blog. For example: if you're writing something technical in that blog, do not write any article that is related to politics. Because both are different in nature and always mention and keep internal links between two posts that are related to each other.
Preparing To Write Your Post
Lastly, if any Blogger want to promote your blog seriously, then this is the golden rule for him/her. Make in depth research before writing your article/post and try to find out low competitive keywords that can completely match with your niche. This way you can avoid the high traffic blog competition.
Search engines are the perfect place where Bloggers can generate thousands of visitors for their blog without spending huge amount of money, rather they can win the visitors by following some simple techniques. Alternatively, it is suggested that always follow the service provider's rules (i.e. the blogspot's rule), otherwise, they simply will remove your blog without any notice and you won't have any chance to retrieve your blog again.
