They usually write the content regardless of the key points in their content which may affect SERP in Google or other search engines, this blogger may include you. For those who are familiar with SEO activities, they usually will write the content longer than with other bloggers who do not care about SEO. SEO experts always pay attention to a lot of factors before publishing the content.

I'm not trying to invite you to become a 'SEO blogger', but just sharing some tips to maximize your content in search engines. Here are 6 ways to make blog content more SEO friendly:

1.    Original and Quality Content

If we talk about SEO then it would be related to the quality and originality of the content. If we create a blog which content only copy from other sources, I’m sure Google will found it and your blog could be banned.

So how do we write content if the content has a lot to write? We may write the same topic as others blogs, but we certainly had own style of writing and grammar, it doesn’t matter.

What is quality article? Blog content is usually in the form of articles, pictures, and videos or it could be just one of them. As long as your content is to provide useful information and are favored by readers, then it can be said qualified. We do not need think about the number of words in an article.

2.    Title and Meta Description

The title of the article is very important to SEO because the title is the initial information about the content of the article. Make the title descriptive and may represent topics of the content that created, and make sure the title also contains important keywords. In addition to containing the keywords, it is better title could also attract the attention of potential readers from search engines like Google. For example, the way 1: Create a Blog on Blogger.com, compared with how 2: How to Make a Blog on Blogger.com with Easy and Fast. Obviously the title is made by means of two more attractive candidates for the reader, so the most likely people are clicking on the search engine becomes larger.

Meta description is one of the ways that search engines like Google quickly identify the topic of the article that we wrote. So make sure to always write a description of your article every time you create content on the blog. Usually the search engines only read 160 characters of the description, so do not forget to include your keywords in the article topic made in 160 characters.

3.    Enter Keywords

Just as tags, enter keywords into the content is important for SEO. But note to include keywords that are related to the topic made. Enter keywords naturally into your content, ranging from the first paragraph to the last paragraph. Do not put too many keywords in the content as it will be deemed to be a stuffing keywords or SPAM.

4.    Use Tags

Tags on the content aims to show the topic of content created, well if you put huge numbers of tags this will make the content as SPAM. It would be better if we enter up to 5 tags that really related to article.

5.    Add Link

Link to the relevant page (be it internal or external) is one good way to improve your SEO on page content. By making links to other pages whose content is still in touch means your content is equipped with reference links that make your content more complete.

6.    Insert Relevant Picture or Video

A picture or video that is relevant to the content will help readers to understand the information that we deliver. In addition, a unique image or video will attract more visitors to read our article. So, articles and images should always be together in content, even better if there is a relevant video. For images, do not forget to give ALT tags (alternative) on the image with the keywords that match the topics contained in the article. This is the goal for the image optimization in search results on search engines.
