3 Basic SEO Tips for a Newly Launched Blog - Personal Advice

By goldenworks on 6/23/2014

This article is intended for newbie bloggers like me who wants to be guided with the basic principles in the world of blogging. I know how it feels to be a newbie in the first place and want to gain popularity and respect in the blogosphere. Blogging is not just about looking for an online space for yourself, putting up content there and earn money through it. You have to survive among the fittest or manage changes in order to trample down your opponents. In this post, I will give my personal advice to newbie bloggers who want to success through applying the basic SEO process - things they should or MUST implement on their own blogs.

Use and Optimize Google Webmaster tools

If you want to be more exposed in the internet, don't ever missed this friendly Google Webmaster Tools! You should have to sign up first to Google Webmaster Tools (GWT). GWT is basically a dashboard where you can not only get yourself verified as an official owner of your site/blog, but also get access to a lot of tools, features, and reports. With GWT, you can change how Google sees your website, and even receive messages from Google regarding updates, and errors found on your website or any critical issues found in your blog. Furtheremore, through GWT, you can view crawl errors, crawl stats, blocked URLs index,
Fetch as Google - Pretty handy for fetching data for your website and submitting it to index to ensure that it's indexed more quickly,view search queries, and internal/external links. And we will not forget this one of the most important thing about GWTs which you can submit sitemap to make your article visible in the web.

Submitting Sitemap

As I have said a while ago that one way to make your written articles visible in the web is you need to submit it to Google. Creating a sitemap is the first thing to do after making a proper website or blog and submit it to Google. A sitemap is basically a listing of the contents of your blog, sort of like a table of contents. It needs to be submitted to search engines so they know what content to find on your blog. It is advisable to make aat least 10 to 20 articles first before creating and submitting a sitemap.

As what Bro Qasim Zaib said in one of his post in MBT that "when you submit a sitemap, search engines use the data on that sitemap to locate your site and your data, and index it. You might have noticed that your site didn't appear on Google after you created it. Well, to get it into search results, Google first needs to index it. And to make Google index it soon, you submit a sitemap". I believe he has the point with his statement because that was I have experienced long before in this blog long time ago!

Keep monitoring your rank and statistics

When I was new in blogging and read many advises from the web about stastistics, they often said that it is better not to monitor it since I will be little frustrated of my rank.But now that I'm in the middle of growth and development as a blogger and have started generating good content, it's time for me to start monitoring my success. Keeping track of my PageRank, which comes out every three months. I should also keep a check on my Alexa Toolbar ranking. For monitoring my website statistics, I should use Google Analytics.
This steps should also be your moves buddies. Everybody wants to succeed easily that's why we want to take shortcuts. And it's easy to do so, but we can never take away the effort of hard work and discipline and sacrifice.

SEO Tips For Startups In Under 10 Minutes

SEO Tips in under 10 minutes

The following are list of SEO Tips for your start ups which can be learnt in under 10 minutes!

1. Use Webmaster Tools and their email forwarding

This is first thing to do in your blog/site is to verify your ownership on it through Google Webmaster Tools. It is a very useful service granted to us by Google. This tools provide you a lot of features. One of that is email forwarding. If you enable it, Google will send you emails informing you of any problems it found on your site, such as site inaccessibility, malicious content, malware (virus), crawl errors, and a large number of 404s (not found errors, or broken links). Having this kind of information can be extremely useful, so that you can troubleshoot and correct any errors that might harm your website's reputation.

2. Have a background checks on your domain

If it happens that you are not the first owner of your domain and you bought it from someone else, then you should better run a background investagation on your domain to see if it's clean and safe. One good way to do this task is , go to Webmaster Tools, and look for the keywords listed there for your domain. It might cause harm to your site if the keywords are irrelevant to your domain name or niche. Another better way, is to look into the past information by going to DomainTools and look up your domain. You'll see information of your blog domain if it is available or not. See the screenshot below.

3. Use some Analytics program

Webmasters should always do some sort of statistical data in their respective site like Alexa in order to have a grasp of their audience . It is also advisable that you set up some Analytics program, the best of all is Google Analytics. which is very helpful and reliable. Don't wait for tomorrow for your BIG start. Do it NOW!

4. Fetch As GoogleBot

Fetch as GoogleBot is another great feature provided by Google Webmaster Tools (GWTS) . You can submit a specific URL of your blog to GWTs, and it will tell you whether it was redirected appropriately, and what information it downloaded. In that way, you can see what information Google looks for. You can also tell Google to not just crawl, but also submit to index or that URL. That way, whenever you update your site, you can trigger that entire process to happen by Google, and have it available to searchers even faster. Sounds good buddies, isn't it?

5. A user-friendly site design

As I have wrote earlier in my article "Why Webmasters Fail to Make Money Online" is a bad site design. A great site design is one of the keys to your success in the race online. As others say "First impression is lasting" , always count. To understand this point, put yourself as a visitor of ones blog and try to ask these questions to your self. Can I navigate easily enough to all parts or pages of this blog? Can I figure out easily where I am, and Did I get easily to my desired content? Am I satisfied? These set of questions are important and must be answered with a positive one. Try to make an article which is not too lengthy in order to save time making articles.This might save yours, but pushing away your readers' since they will jump for another site. Avoid merging topics in one post! Separate your content if necessary.

6. Relevant calls to action

This is related to Blog Design but I intend to write it separately for emphasis. Be sensitive to the call of your customers. Others feel bored because of poor blog design in its pages. For example, you could put an subscribe for email newsletters widget on one page, share your service on another and so on. Since there are different types of customers with different wants, that way, you can target them all according to their needs. Not all will buy your products, for example. Nor will everyone share your services or subscribe for newsletters. So keep all these calls to action.

7. Avoid link building schemes

Just follow the normal way of getting traffic on your site and everything will be fine! Never, ever engage in buying backlinks from link building schemes. They are always spam. You thought that this is the best way to rise your visibility in search engine results page but they are cheap backlinks that will cause harm to your site more than they'll help you. And even if they did start out as quality links, they won't be forever! It will pull down you back more than you could imagine. That's disgusting. Google don't want you to practice Black Hat SEO!

8. Site Load Time

Your real consumers is not those robots (machine) that put your site in Google SERP but the people who will land to your site and interact with your written articles. So, make them happy and of that way is your blog loading time which is user's friendly. Make it in the range of 5-10 seconds which is considered fine. No more than 10, but anywhere under 10 to make your customers happy. If it goes more than 10sec, then don't worry. Just find other way to make your users experince great. However, if you can manage that, and still go under 5, then you are in good track.

My Conclusion

The bottom line is how well you connect with your audience matters most!.Be honest to your customers/visitors. Interact with them and answer their questions promptly. Make them feel part of your site. Share your content on social media to expand your exposure because the initial volume of your blog traffic will come from them. Hope you will apply even one of these tips to your blog. Good luck pal :-)
