4 Matches makes a score. Title, post, tag, meta data

When blogging and you want to be listed for certain keywords on search engines there are a few things you need to consider. Search engine optimization can make or break a blog. Especially if you have been blogging for a while now but you dont see the results from search engines. I recently doubled my search engine traffic by following a few certain blogging rules and some blog tweaks. Today I will try to explain one of those tricks for you. There are 4 things that make a blog post become more search engine worthy. But those four things should match. That is the title, the tags, the meta data and the post itself. The first thing search engines looks for is the Title. The title is the most important words in your blog post. The goal of the title is to try and get the best possible keyword combination that looks attractive for humans and that has the relevant keywords that you will use throughout your blog as well as those you really want that post to be listed for one search engines. The second thing search engines looks for is the Meta Data or those things hidden from the human eye. The Meta data should contain all the words that the human eye can see and is visible to people reading your blog. If you use the same words here as in your title, your chances have now double for being found for that particular word on search engines. The next thing would be tags. A lot of times we post something funny for example. But the word funny is not in there although it really is funny. And then we tag it funny. But that will get you bad marked on search engines because you are tagging your post with words that do not exist in the post or title. There is something such as over search engine optimization and this is it. You should be able to match every tag in your post or title with your tags of that current blog post. The fourth thing is the Post itself. Using your keyword to much can also cause you to now be found for that keyword on search engines. Using the keywords about 4 times per 250 words is recommended. The longer the post the obvious more tags you can have and the more you can use your keywords you want to be found for on search engines. The post is the second most important thing after your title and this is ultimately what your blog is about. The posts. So making your post search engine friendly but also reader friendly is the goal. You see how your certain keyword should now be in the post, the title, the meta data, and the tags. This will increase your chances of being found for the keywords your are using. That's how I doubled my traffic. If you enjoyed this post please give it a sphinn or a stumble. Thanks.
