Content is king, is it true? and it’s 100% true. A blog is known from it’s quality. It does not make any sense if you are having some thousand posts, but having a handful of quality posts matters. So, we all should know the ways and SEO tricks of posting powerful contents. Here are some important SEO tips for article that you always need to follow before posting an article in article directory.
We make contents for people, but people know only search engines, so try to make your article as per search engine or SEO Rules. We have to get known by the search engines so that they will start referring us to those people.
Here are some simple SEO Tips before Posting an Article
- Post Title or Article Title : Post title is one of the leading SEO factors. People get the idea about your post from your post title, and remember, search engines put a high value to this. So, your post title should be eye catchy. It should contain your post’s keywords. Do not repeat your keywords in the post title. One keyword is just enough. Keep it short and try not to go beyond 150 character.
- Article Grammar : Do not take people for granted. They are on your site to know something and excessive grammar mistakes will make them annoyed. If you are familiar with the common blogging language, i.e english, then go on, but if you are not, then try to keep your post short. Just post the important things and do not try to go more than that. Few times we want to do good, but in the end we feel allas!
- Images in Article : A single image is equal to thousands of words. So, try to use 2/3 images in your posts. People really get bored when they see large no of text words. A image can convince them the theme that you are talking about. And also, image looks nice to eyes. Most important thing is that use proper image values. Give an alternate tag (alt) to your image. Add title to it. Do not think that only posts bring visitors. If you SEO images properly, then images will also bring you people by images searches.
- Colors / Highlighters : Lets assume that your post contents some 1200+ words. Now after publishing your post, a Googlebot will come to your post and will read that. But you need the Googlebot to put more weightage on your keywords. So, you need to highlight your keywords out of those 1200+ posts. Simply bold your keyword once or twice in your post. You can also use different colours to highlight them. Remember that there is no specific rule for it. So, you can go ahead and make them italic or underlined. The main aim is to make your keywords standout. In this way the bots will give more weightage to those words. This is a cool SEO tip.
- Article or Text Presentation : We are here to interact with readers with our post. We are not here to look fancy. Do not ever write posts with fancy letters. Follow simple sentence building tips. For an example: dont write lyk dis since it makes you look stupid and tires your fingers n your shift button may break down. Bots will treat these formats as spam posts and there is a very little chance for your post to get indexed. Even if you get indexed in search ebgines, you will never come in the top lists. Simplicity is still the best way to present. If you are providing tips or something, then use list format, so that the post will look organized. Use paragraphs to keep your views. Never use capital letters.
- Post or Article Stability : Do not focus on several topics. If you are writing a post on SEO tips, then stick with it. Do not go to Google Bot history or Wordpress Plugins etc. Your post should be on a single topic. A jack of all trades is a master of none, and you do not want the search engines to think this about your post, right? Concertate on a single topic and post about it. Use your keywords several times in your posts. Highliglight them few times. If possible start your post with your keyword and use your keyword in the last line of your post as well.
