Best Blogging Practices
  • Best Blogging Practices, Blogging goes beyond
    putting pen to paper in the field of digital
    marketing. Its important to keep optimization at
    the forefront of your efforts when blogging for
    your company or the business of your client. But
    how do you make your SEO-friendly posts
    specifically so that you can get your blogs in
    front of the people that matter?

  • Top 10 Best Blogging Practices

1. Use Keywords
  • One of the Best Blogging practices, To begin
    with, brainstorm one long-tail keyword that you
    are trying to rank for that relates directly to
    the subject of your blog. Based on factors such
    as monthly search volume, complexity, and organic
    click-through rate, you can use sites like Moz to
    help you select your main keyword. In your blog
    title, URL, and meta summary, make sure to
    include your main keyword. As to how many times
    this main keyword should appear throughout your
    post, there is no magic number. You just want to
    make sure you compose convincing material and
    work with the keyword where it works naturally-do
    not feel the need to force it. You can also
    sprinkle in several other keywords that are
    related to the subject at hand, in addition to
    your main keyword.

2. Use Click-Worthy Titles
  • Make sure your title is composed of normal,
    uncommon, strength, and emotional words in order
    to drive traffic, shares, and search results. The
    Headline Analyzer from CoSchedule is a fantastic
    tool to help you get started-youre doing great
    if your title ranks 70 or above! The best
    practice in blogging, however, of using your main
    keyword in the title often makes it difficult to
    get your title to rank 70 or above. Just note, it
    is more important for you to include your primary
    keyword and give your blog a title that is true
    rather than deceptive to your audience, though
    you want to target 70.

3. Pick a Niche and Stick with It
  • A part of the intent of your blog includes the
    subjects you want to write about. Business blogs
    may pick niches that are unique to the industry
    or specialty. This encourages you to become an
    authority in your field and individuals will
    continue to see you as a thought leader. So,
    choose a niche and be really, really good at it.
    No matter what niche you pick, when they visit
    your site, you need to make sure your blog
    readers know what to expect. Check the blogs of
    your rivals who write about your niche and
    actively study keywords and trending topics if
    you run out of subject ideas for your niche along
    the way.

4. Write Accurate Meta Descriptions
  • The character limit for the description snippet
    area was previously raised by Google to 300, only
    to then drop it back down to 160 characters about
    five months later. Meta descriptions are very
    significant, though sometimes ignored, as they
    appear on Google search results pages and serve
    as a rundown of what a particular page has to
    offer. Metas should be an accurate,
    solution-based representation of what individuals
    should expect from your connection when they
    click through. Although blogging best practice
    says to include your keyword strategically in
    your meta summary, make sure that keyword
    stuffing is avoided-it can actually damage
    your SEO efforts.

5. Write Content For Your Audience
  • Not always the content you want to write and the
    content that your audience needs to read is the
    same thing. Discover what your audience needs,
    what their concerns are, and how through your
    content you can assist them. Write about the
    concerns that your audience really cares about.
    They dont want to see what youre doing, only
    whats going to help them. For example, dont
    talk about manufacturing tires if you sell tires.
    Speak about how their vehicle should pick the
    correct tire and which tires are the best for
    all-terrain.

6. Add Blog Tags
  • One of the Best Blogging practices includes
    Assigning blog tags, or categories, to your blog
    posts makes it easy for readers to find the topic
    they are searching for. Think of tags on your
    website and blog topics as material themes. One
    tag should be linked to a variety of keywords and
    topics you have written about and no more than
    three tags should be applied to one message. Be
    sure that the tags you select are diverse and not
    only repetitive, as your SEO efforts can actually
    be hurt by this.

7. Link Internally and Externally
  • Where applicable, a great blogging best practice
    is to include internal links and external links
    in your post. Internal linking helps you to
    illustrate the authenticity of your own page,
    along with reviving some of your old content and
    helping readers find what theyre looking for.
    You can connect to other posts in your blog or to
    your webpages. Linking to credible outlets and
    authoritative bodies externally help increase the
    credibility of your content because you have such
    useful educational tools for your readers.

8. Post Often
  • Its important to post on a schedule, but posting
    regularly is even more important. Posting one
    blog a week at least isnt good enough.
    Individuals want fresh material and they want it
    quickly. Your readers not only want updates,
    Google still likes updates. This means that its
    nice for SEO to post regularly and add updates to
    old content. When you have a library full of
    content that needs new data, more depth, and some
    other changes to make it more relevant, updating
    your old content is a perfect way to refresh your
    site.

9. Write Awesome Content
  • Best practice can seem contradictory, but your
    blog needs good content that is shared regularly.
    It takes time, but designing a great content plan
    will help you build and publish blog posts that
    seem to be second nature. Awesome stuff must
    beWell published, well written
  • Organized
  • Entertaining
  • Pertinent and Relevant
  • Consistent
  • Your content also helps to make sure people come
    back to read your blog when you take the time to
    check all the boxes. Often you just get a few
    chances of showing that you have amazing stuff,
    so from the get-go, keep your quality high

10. Promote Your Blog and Encourage Engagement
  • Last but not least best blogging practice is
    Promotion. As much as you build content, promote
    your blog. You should start by knowing where your
    audience is hanging out on the internet to do
    this effectively. Find out which channels work
    better for your audience and promote those
    channels in your blog posts. And most notably, be
    present and promote involvement. Ask questions,
    leave feedback, and launch discussions with your
    party. Tell readers what theyve been thinking
    about your message. This helps to build a bond
    between you and your audience, and on such
    subjects, they will begin to trust your
    authority. With these best blogging practices in
    mind, youll be on the right track to develop a
    better blog plan for your readers and create
    high-quality content.
