11 Latest SEO Tips for Bloggers For Grow Readership

1.Write quality content, with the aim of being useful to a target audience. What do you know that is the answer to a person's question? Focus on catering that information to that person. Remember, what you are writing is for making their life easier. That said, you writing should be free of thick-headed hyperbole and obfuscation. Rather than refer your reader someplace else for their answers, bring the information and links they need to them. Make your post useful.

2.If you are not writing something intended to be useful to someone else, say like something that is supposed to be funny, it had better be the best you could find online. As we all know, it is desperately hard to grab the attention of the modern internet junkie.

3.Choose the title of your post carefully. Titles and keywords two of the most important things in helping Google direct people to your content. The title should be a concise representation of the content.

4.Include images with descriptive file names, for example rename a photo from "06052009_1453.jpg" to Man_Shot_by_Taser.jpg before you upload it. Descriptive outgoing and internal links also help you rank higher in Google's listings.

5.Get a good hit counter. I use www.statcounter.com and Google analytics. Both are free, versatile, and awesome. StatCounter tracks where your visitors are coming from (geographically and link that brought them), what key words in what search engine they used to get to you, what they looked at on your site and how long, and finally where they exited you site. I use Google analytics for a broader look at my site, and I heard at a science fair that registering with them increases your page ranking.


6.Register your blog with Google's Webmaster's Tools by signing into blogger, clicking "Dashboard", then "Webmaster Tools" under tools and resources at the very bottom. You should see a list of you blogs and the option to "add" them. Do so, and then explore what Webmaster Tools can do for you!

7.In Google's Webmaster Tools: Add a sitemap of your blog under the Sitemaps tab. A sitemap will ensure that all of your content is properly crawled by Google's robots. By default, Blogger sets you up with a few news Feed links for your blog. These FEED URLs are yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/default, yourblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml, and yourblogname.blogspot.com/rss.xml (as well as others). These same URLS make great site maps! So, under the Sitemap tab enter atom.xml and/or rss.xml into the text box by the "Submit Sitemap" button, and BINGO you are set!

8.Register with and post your links on social link sharing sites like StumbleUpon. A large portion of my site's traffic comes from them. Here are some StumbleUpon tips: They reward you for using their toolbar, if you install it they will send more stumblers to the sites you discover. The amount of exposure the sites you submit get depends on many factors, like how many thumbs up it gets, it you used the toolbar, and the amount of stumbling you the submitter do yourself. Remember all of this is simply governed by mathematical equations... I have found that if I submit two links pointing to my own site in a row I get no visitors. However, if I do 50 stumbles (giving thumbs up to some sites along the way) then submit my own site I get tons of traffic from them! There are many other social link sharing sites to check out such as Digg, Fark, and Kirtsy plus too many more to list. Each have their own algorithms

9.Submit your feeds (yourblogname.blogspot.com/rss.xlm) to feed distributing sites. This page is an awesome resource for doing that. I am new to the news feed business, but I already have 8 people who follow my feed, and my site traffic is increasing accordingly.

10.Add Sharing Buttons, such as AddThis!, StumbleUpon, Digg, and Facebook as a gadget in your side bar. You can get the code to add these buttons from each of their respective websites. It is one thing to do yourself favors by submitting your own link to StumbleUpon, but is so much better if a visiting reader does and giving them a convenient button makes it that much easier for them to do it!

11.Follow and leave nice comments on other peoples blogs. Not only will being nice feel good, but every comment you make and every profile picture that shows up in someones "Followers" gadget is a link back to your own site.
