It is always a difficult task finding lots of
readers (Readers) to your contents online; this is because of the tremendous
competition among web masters. In this lesson, I am going to point out the SEO
(Search Engine Optimization) beginners’ guide which will enable you solve the
first step of SEO and subsequently quench your taste of traffic though this
step will only give you some little pretty amount of traffic but it is indispensable I think to read this piece as a blogger especially an infant
blogger this is simply you can’t get to the fatter bone without it or its
supplement! Therefore, I urge you to read carefully for better understanding as
you know SEO needs extra care to meet your target.
First of all what is SEO? SEO is the short form of
Search Engine Optimization which is means building your sites visibility to
search engines or it is defined by wiki pedia as “is the process of affecting the
visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's unpaid results—often
referred to as "natural," "organic," or "earned"
results.”
From the above definitions you will understand that
SEO is not about just growing your site’s visibility but also about gaining
more organic traffic to your site or blog but you are bound to know that bad
SEO have a high chance of burying your site in to the ocean of search engines,
my point here is that Google and other search engines may find it difficult to
crawl your site for better organic and natural traffic or result which will
scare you away from internet marketing or promotion.
Now let me point out to you some beginners’
guidelines of SEO:
WRITING
GREATER AND MEANINGFUL CONTENTS
Here, greater
contents mean contents of high value; contents that commands rich organic
traffic. In writing great and meaningful contents one must choose a niche of
blogging which he consider best for his ability not a niche you don’t even have
idea of in fact, this is the worst
mistake a webmaster can ever made in his blogging career. Webmaster or bloggers
tends to go in a niche that’s the most populous which turns to be a problem to
them for example in Nigeria, most bloggers go in to entertainment niche simply
they think it’s the easiest and common but to their greatest surprise
entertainment niche is the poorest line of blogging if carefully looked in to
in fact, even Google finds it to difficult to monetize site or blogs that are
in entertainment niche while the technology niche get approved by Google
AdSense in no time therefore, for you to make sure you take the path of doing a
greater SEO for better organic traffic writing greater content must come to
play that is you must bend down and write something someone out there can read
and understand but not just willy-nilly writing and expecting better organic
result.
The
Traffic Purpose and How Search Engine Optimization actually Works
Many online marketers do make
mistake of considering SEO just as a source of free organic traffic. It is though
true, but it’s not how SEO works.
The real reason for SEO is to aid
buyers or people who are looking for you find you. To do that, your contents
must be relevant to what people are looking for. For example:
Munir writes about blogging on his
blog so, he describes everything he is says or teaching his visitors
technically. But the problem is that nowadays technology blogs seems to be
growing rapidly though not as entertainment blogs therefore Munir must
concentrate and give extra care to his contents if not his chance of being
buried by other technology blogs is very high this is because he only depends
on do-it-yourself SEO not paid SEO but what about Mahmud Sambo who sells custom
trouser. On his website, he describes how he makes the trousers using his local
yarn with hand, often talking about the different yarns he uses. There’s not
much competition for keywords relating to yarn, and Mahmud is publishing lots of great content about it,
so before long, he has front page rankings for several different types of yarn.
Do you see the problem?
The people searching for yarn trousers most likely knit themselves, and it’s unlikely they’ll be interested in purchasing Mahmud's’ trousers. He will get lots of traffic, sure, but none of the traffic will convert, because the visitors have completely different goals.
The lesson here: if you want SEO to
work for you, you need to make sure your goals match the goals of your
visitors. It’s not about traffic. It’s about figuring out what you want, and
then optimizing for keywords that bring in visitors who want the same things.
In doing a
good SEO for your Site or blog you should pay good attention to the following
listed below;
Titles – Create eye-catching titles that raise the reader’s interest for example when writing a title like President “President Buharis’ Administration” instead you write as “President Buhari and his Administration” while you actually know that if you use the first one search engines will favor it o using the last one . Remember You only have one chance to make a great first impression.
Keywords – Pick keywords that will help bring people to your site and are relevant not boring keywords that will scare away visitors and make search engines bury your site also do not use keywords that are completely irrelevant to your site for example, as a technology blogger I won’t love myself posting something about entertainment maybe something like Music, Celebrities etc while my site’s name its “tipspath.com” you see this is totally off my niche and I should not use it
Links – Link to quality sites that compliment what your website is about. It’ll encourage sites in your niche to link to you as well.
Quality – Try to publish unique and quality content. This persuades users to visit your site simply they cannot easily find the content elsewhere.
Freshness – If you are publishing content that does not age or become outdated, that’s great, but you also urge to add new contents on a regular basis because you are a blogger *wink*. If you don’t have the time to add content to your website, then why don’t you find someone do it for you and then settle him.
And then lastly learn to do your work in a list form
With this i think SEO beginners will get to the top. Thanks.
