SEO is a word that a blogger always worries about. I don’t understand why should you give so much importance to SEO when there are other things to concentrate on !!! When you blog, you must think of your readers and not of the search engines. Write epic content that compels your readers to come back for more. Search engines will notice this rush and will index your blog posts more quickly. Wouldn’t that be great?
Though when it comes to world wide web, to help people find your content via search engines and just writing quality content will not help you to be found and seen by target visitors. We have already discussed few of such aspects in Why Keyword research is important.
But wait !!! What’s our topic of discussion ?
Come Back to SEO Optimization.
All the things that I said above will surely take place when you work with proper dedication and proper blogging gameplan. But for that you need to divert people’s attention to your blog, you need to tell the search engines that your blog is going to be the next big thing.
For that attitude you need to optimize your blog first. What if you are not at all optimizing your blogs for search engines, you will probably lose a large number of potential loyal readers. For every query, we tend to do a quick search on Google so not taking benefit of the big G would be total stupidity.
So for that reason I am emphasizing on SEO optimization. See SEO is not that hard as you believe. If you are an individual and not a company that offers SEO services, you have no reason to worry about it. Because all you need to do is take care of proper keywords and their placements and use some proper tags at relevant places. I will show you how simple it is.
