All Bloggers and Webmasters want high rankings in the SERPs (search engine result pages) for as many keywords as possible because a high position in the SERPs for various keywords generally results in free, focused web traffic from search engines.
More traffic to your website means that you have a greater chance of generating revenue from PPC (pay per click) or relevant affiliate adverts, i.e. more traffic = more opportunities to make money online! And the advantage of the traffic coming from the search engines is that it is generally better targeted while traffic from sources such as social media, forums, and classified sites is usually less targeted.
So when providing content for your articles and blogs, it is essential that you keep a number of things in mind if you want them to be monetisable! Here are a few essential SEO tips which will help you make more money online from your blogs.
PICK EFFECTIVE KEYWORDS FOR YOUR ARTICLE TITLE AND BODY
If you want your article to be read for a certain reason, it is important that you use related keywords in the article title and body. Also, consider using long tail keywords, i.e. keywords which are more specific to the article. Also, consider using long tail keywords which are more specific to your content. Such keywords generally have less competition on the SERPs which mean that they have more chance of appearing in a hgher position.
USE SUBTITLES AND SUB-HEADINGS
Break your article down into small sections and use sub-titles ot sub-headings to label each section. Also use bold type or HTML header tags. This will ensure that 1.) your article is easier to read, 2.) your post is more visually appealing, and 3.) your keywords have more chance of being "noticed" by the search engines.
OPTIMISE YOUR PICTURES AND MEDIA CONTENT
Include keywords in your "alt" tags and in the names of your images. This will help search engines such as Google to index your content better. And as so many searches nowadays are made for images, your articles will also attract attention if they are well labelled.
CREATE EFFECTIVE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LINKS
Link from and to other pages and do it often as search engines pay special attention to these internal links. The more internal links a page has, the more important it is considered to be by the search engines. Also, make the surrounding text as relevant as possible as this is used by the search engines in order to determine the relevance of the content. Also ensure that you have plenty of links into your article from external sites. Visit related forums and blogs and subscribe to article directories. Link into your articles from these external sites with relevant anchor text and this will help the search engines to position your article better.
AVOID FLASH, BLOCK QUOTES, AND JAVASCRIPT
Try to avoid block text, flash, and Javascript as much as possible. These are not well liked by search engines. And when publishing video content consider uploading it to sites such as Youtube which already have a huge number of visitors who search for interesting content.
