Five Step SEO Checklist For Beginners
Many have heard the term SEO and have a general idea what it means.
A Google search brings up 300 million sites but what is it really?
Let’s start with the Wikipedia Explanation
“Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine’s “natural” or un-paid (“organic”) search results.
In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.”
Simple right?
What if there were a few simple steps you could do that would get your posts into the search near or at the top?
Well here they are:
1 Use the Google Keyword Tool to find a keyword in your target area or niche.
2 Include the keyword in your blog post title
3 Include the keyword at least 3 times in your post but don’t get too crazy. Searches will avoid your post if it looks like you have too many in there. As this is a five-step SEO checklist for beginners I don’t want to have that phrase in the post 15 times. Adding other related keywords to your search will also help out
4 Upload an image and use your keyword as the Alt Text
5 Link to another authority site that is relative to your page.
Is that easier?
Don’t try and figure out all the details and complicated SEO info.
Use this Five step SEO checklist for beginners. Of course, the other part is to have an easy to use blog site so you don’t waste time figuring that out as well.
