Wordtracker allows you to find a keyword phrase that will be relevant for your post. You should spend about 5-10 minutes doing keyword research. Include the phrase in the subject of your post if you feel it is appropriate. There are several types of https://www.nafcj.org
Titles:
When appropriate, incorporate the keyword phrase into your blog post title.
Bolding & Italics:
Italics and bolding are effective to draw attention where it is appropriate.
Images:
Upload an image from the stock photos site. Add a button to promote related products if necessary. The keyword phrase should be included in the file you save for uploading. You can also use the keyword phrase as an alt tag.
Choose Category:
Choose the right category for your post. The main categories are Articles (blog posts), Video (video), and then sub-categories are available for each of the three.
Add tags:
In order to link posts together, it is important to add tags.
Use more tags
The more tag allows a blog post to only be partially shown on the main webpage. Insert this tag approximately two to three lines down from the post. You should choose an area where the information seems incomplete or interesting, so that people will click the link to read the whole article.
These tips will help make your blog more technically sound, which will increase its chances of ranking high in search engines. However, it won’t be enough that you attract readers’ attention. You’ll never run out of topics to write about on your blog. If you are unable to come up with any other topic, grab www.nafcj.org and write a blog post about it.
Understanding your market is an important part of writing a great blog post. Know your market and the most pressing needs of your readers. Your readers can then be directed to the next logical step if you address their most pressing needs.
