Google has recently been updating its algorithm to prevent spam content and other pirated content from their search results. So SEO optimizing your blog for Google is becoming difficult day by day.

3. Title Should Contain The Keyword :

The title of your post should contain the keyword. I dont mean the title that appears in your Blog but the one which appears in the SERP’s. I mean the SEO title of your post. If it is the first word it would be better for your SEO.

4. Usage Of Keywords as a Anchor Text :

Anchor text meaning hyperlinks should contain your keyword. Make sure that it links to a relevant page. But I would recommend you to link it to your blog’s relevant category or a tag so that it promotes your internal links.

5. Number Of Words in your Content :

The number of words in your content also matters in SEO. Most of the search engines including Bing requires more than 300 words in your content to rank better. But I would recommend you to have a post published on your blog only when it has more than 500 words or so.

6. Write your own content :

Google and other search engines hates copied content. So make sure that you dont copy the content from another blog and publish it as a post in yours. This may make Google to Blacklist your site which may not allow any of your sites link to appear in their search results.

Well that’s it. There are some of the important SEO strategies that you may need to follow for a better ranking in search engines. But all you need to do after following all these is to wait. Time is really needed for search engines to crawl your site. Search engines might not boost your site’s traffic within a night. So you do need to wait. Happy blogging
