SEO Made Easy
Why do we put effort into Search Engine Optimization?
If you’re looking to have your articles found in a Google, Bing or Yahoo search, your articles need to be SEO friendly. When a user heads over to a search engine and types in keywords that relate to one of your posts (or to a service you provide), you want your post to be part of the search engine results.
Good SEO tactics will get you listed in the search. Great SEO tactics will get you to page 1 or 2 of the search results. Being on page 1 and page 2 increases your chances of new traffic to your site.
In Basic Blog Posts SEO Tips, we covered things you can do to make your post Search Engine Optimized.
Today, we’re quickly reviewing the next step, adding your keywords to the meta data of your post’s page.
It is possible on Blogger if you were to edit the html manually. But, I’m sorry Blogger peeps, I really couldn’t tell you where to begin editing the HTML. I tried it myself when I was on Blogger and it didn’t help me one bit.
What I’m about to share applies to WordPress sites, however, if you’ve been considering moving from Blogger to WordPress, then stick around. What you’re about to get is a quick backend look at the power of wordpress and how it makes SEO easy.
SEO Made Easy using WordPress
Keep in mind, this plugin and these basic tactics won’t automatically get you to page one. There are other factors involved such as backlinks and link authority and the size of your site and the age of your site that assist. Also, the number of search results. 215k is pretty small when you think about it.

Update: 10/26/2011 Though I have not written another post about Neem Leaves in a year, that post is now #1 in the google search results when you search for: neem leaves weight loss. Why? because in the past year, I’ve written other posts that also ranked well on page one of a google search. that helps boost all my other posts. also? I receive a lot of traffic from google for people searching for those specific words. and lastly, it’s not a spammy post. it’s a long article, maybe not written so well, but it provides a lot of info and i used my handy dandy all in one seo plugin

This is about the second time I’ve been by your blog and I get overwhelmed when I click over. I’m really going to have to take time to read, study and learn.

I have done a lot of reading on SEO, but the tactics don’t seem to work as well on Blogger as it does on WP. I have made some changes in the way I title my posts and include keywords, but I see no change in traffic.

MAtty I suggest you check your site out on Alexa. it does a pretty good job of telling you which of your keywords are working for you and whether or not your keywords are bringing you traffic. google my blog as a comparison. also, having your site on google’s servers gets in the way too. if traffic from search engine is important to you, i suggest the WP move dude. As I said, I’d be happy to help you.
