Blog SEO – 5 Essential Tips for Getting Fast Traffic

Tip #1 – Add Some Type of Content to Your Blog Everyday

Now I know that this is something that a lot of people have been stressing to you, but some of you are not listening out there, so I will reiterate.

A little trick that I use to publish content everyday is I will spend some time on a Saturday or Sunday where I will sit down, brainstorm ideas, and create a few blog posts. Now how long this takes you will depend on what writing level you are on and how freely your ideas come to you. I can usually write about 7 articles in about 3-4 hours. So I will divide my time up – 2 hours on Saturday and 2 hours on Sunday.

If you are a WordPress user, then you can either save these articles as drafts and publish them whenever you want to, or better yet you can schedule your articles to publish on a certain date or time. That way, not having time for blog during the work week will not be an excuse for you.

Tip #2 – Valuable Incoming Links

You need to work on building links and making sure that you are getting valuable links into your websites. In order to do this make sure that you are getting valuable links back from blogs or websites in your niche about an hour doing this.

I like to use a little tool called the Fast Blog Finder every now and then. It will pull up related blogs based on the keywords you put in, show you the blog’s such as ranking, links, etc., and then I will comment on the blogs that are more valuable. My Alexa ranking went from 578,471 to 504, 779. Now I know that alexa is not 100% reliable but it does give you a guideline of your progress.

Tip #3 – Make Sure You Are Making Good Use of Meta Tags

Title Tags – are where you place your keyword or keyword phrases. This is the most important tag in SEO and you will want to make sure you are not leaving this blank and you are using good keywords.

Meta Tags – are used to provide a a description for your blog, but make sure that you make it brief

Alt Tags – are use to provide a description for your images. You should always include an alt tag with keywords because search engines will look at theses as well.

For best results, make sure that you are using these tags properly.

Tip #4 – Be a Social Butterfly

You definitely have to learn how to be social because that is the key to building relationships whether it is with your readers or it is with other people you connect with in your niche. And while you are out being social on social networks you have to promote your blog. If you don’t, then who will?

Tip #5 – Advertise

Most people don’t like doing this, but you have to do some type of advertising. Now I would suggest you do a little PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising but it is totally up to you. Whatever you decide to do just get out there and do it!

These are some tips that will not only help you with traffic, but will also help you out with SEO.
