Blogging-Best way for Web Traffic Generation

Blogging is the best way to drive new traffic to your site, but only if you use a successful blog SEO (search engine optimization) strategy. Blogs are easier to get higher ranking for on search engines because:

They tend to have new content regularly.

They have the ability to accept comments which are looked upon as more new content.

Each blog post can be focused on specific keywords you want to target.

Blogs are inexpensive to set up.

Here are some tips on how to get your blog SEO working for you:

1. Analyse competitor blogs

Search Google for successful blogs in your industry. The ones that always seem to be at the top of search engines already have a winning formula, so copy their strategy. Specifically look at: what topics they cover, which topics have the most comments, how often they post, what category names they use, what tags they use and how many images they use in their posts.

2. select keywords wisely

Use the free Google Keyword Tool to find the keywords which have high search volume and low competition. From the keyword tool page, click on any keywords you are considering to see what kind of search results appear. You only want to use keywords that have search results that match with the blog post you’re writing.

3. Place keywords into your blog posts

Use keywords in your blog posts, blog URL (web address), headings, image file names, image titles and alt tags (the text that appears when you mouse on top of an image) and blog tags. You can also create category names for keywords you want to target. As a general rule, don’t let inserting keywords trump quality writing. Remember someone will be reading your post and you want them to come back and read more.

4. Link back to your Website

Typically, you’ll want to make sure there’s a constant link to your site in the column beside your blog posts

5. Post at least twice a week

Generally, you should post at least twice a week just to ensure Google notices your blog has regular fresh content. From my experience, twice a week usually results in Google indexing our blog weekly.
