Like a garden that only thrives when provided adequate amounts of both water AND sunlight, your blog too needs 2 fundamental nutrients in order to truly thrive.
Beyond remembering that website visitors will need to read and like your posts, there are other things you can do to help grow your traffic organically.
In order to grow your online business in the most cost effective way you want the amount of visitors you get to your blog to grow naturally. For this to happen, you want to write content that appeals to both search engine spiders AND actual people.
When writing and publishing blog posts, sometimes it is easy to get carried away with your ideas and forget that your posts needs to be appealing to the search engines. You do want actual human readers to find, read and hopefully enjoy your posts; likewise you want search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing to find and properly index your articles so that real people will find them. An ideal blog post is not just be written for the search engines, nor should it be written without implementing basic SEO tactics.
The following 6 tips can help you and your blog bloom with completely organic traffic.
Write new posts regularly.
Updated your blog as often as you can. Of course, you should write whenever you have an opportunity and have something to say. By writing as much as you can whenever you can, you will be planting more seeds and each seed will have the chance of growing its own fruit. The more you plant, the more you can harvest.
Also, when you posts repeatedly you give your followers a reason to keep coming back for more.
Remember that quality counts.
You will want to write quality content in your niche that your readers will enjoy, because if they don’t like it they won’t keep coming back. Your posts should be things that your visitors will learn from and will want to share. If you don’t know what fits the bill, you should research a popular topic, put a spin on a new topic or be the first to write on something new.
Unique content is vital.
The search engines adore unique content, and your readers will be pretty fond of it as well. The more fresh posts you put up, the more attention you will get from the search engines.
Headlines are a big deal.
Headlines, or titles, are an SEO building block, and the can be used to grab the attention of passing visitors. An appealing headline that incorporates 2 to 3 keywords can get your blog further up your search results and can garner more clicks from new readers, a big organic traffic boost.
Properly incorporate keywords throughout your post.
For approximately every 100 words in your post, you want to utilize 2 to 3 keywords, and these should hopefully be some of the same keywords that popped up in your headline. Just like with any garden you don’t want to overdo it, however. “Keyword stuffing” can get your post banned from the search engines you have been trying to win over.
Make your posts as SEO friendly as possible.
It is easy to make your post people-friendly, but wooing the search engines is certainly a bit tougher. Including the SEO tips for organic traffic growth already mentioned, there is more you can do. Those keywords from your headline and posts should also be incorporated in your “page title” and “meta description.” If you blog with WordPress, use the All in One SEO plugin to make it even easier to optimize your posts — a must have if you are still scratching your head wondering what a “meta description” is.
Now get to work! Follow these organic traffic tips and you’ll be harvesting an abundant amount of new visitors everyday.
I’ve always been motivated by attempting to woo my readers but also having to please the search engines is where I struggle. I like your idea of adding 2 – 3 keyword into my title (plus a few more times in the content), it sounds easy and simply enough for me so I’m going to give it a shot. Thanks.
Quality always counts. This is Mr.Ray running a video conferencing software business. In the early days of my business I used to copy content form internet and put them in my web pages, and had used to spend lot of time finding relevant content, but there was no improvement in search engine rankings.
I used to get frustrated, but one find day I was surfing the net for SEO tips and find an article about content and its quality and importance. I hired a content writer and then did some SEO work, believe me in couple of months my website ranking got increased and huge traffic get started coming to my site.
Then I realize the important of original and quality content for a webpage.
I don’t necessarily agree with you when you say to rngoie SEO. There is definitely two ways to do SEO the good way or bad way also known as white hat and black hat (like the western movies). White hat SEO services just help optimize your content to that it looks its best to the search engines, no tricks, your content will always be your biggest asset. There are also many ways to build links that aren’t spammy. I included a link through this blog post to my site, do you consider this spam? I have now written well over 50 words and have contributed to the content of your site, in my opinion this is not spam.however, regardless of the debate of blog spam, directory submissions and links through article submissions are great techniques to get better rankings without being accused of being a black hat seo. If you know what your doing, and take your time and write good content (like you mentioned) SEO can make you a ton of money its hard to argue conversion rates and site traffic. This is what increases with a good SEO provider.
Getting traffic to your website is one thing, but getting targeted traffic to your websit is another.
It is important to make sure that your keywords have good demand and supply numbers and that more importantly you can rank for these keywords. Then, like you said, you need to write interesting, compelling content for your readers to read around your chosen keywords.
It’s defiantly a long term process but necessary to succeed on-line.
