What is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for me is a creative process of optimizing your web site by technically improving the internal and external ways for better rankings in search engine results, and thus receiving more traffic to your blog or website. The basic idea about SEO optimization is to get most from real search engines and not from adverts or paid links from other sites. And of course the inner post structure plays its own role. Posts without optimization might be not as much efficient. When seo optimizing your site gets more natural and rich, quality traffic from Google, Yahoo, Msn and others…

Generally speaking there are 2 basic aspects of advancing or seo optimizing your site: Internal and External Optimization.

What we can do for Internal Optimization is to improve our own posts for better SEO which means: to help Google, Yahoo, and other search engines better understand which post is on what topic and which article is more relevant to the specific keyword.

Just imagine that search engine is a human, keyword together with other text is a language, and SEO is just an act of improved communication.

External optimization which basically consists of link-building strategies are also very important for better seo.

Natural SEO

Now what I call natural seo is an act of performance with a use of search engine strategies where you yourself determine how to use keywords, meta-keywords etc…

Some think that you should pay for internet marketing seo your blog, but there is a less job somebody else can do instead of you, when you play the main role in website seo. For me free seo is much more efficient than paying somebody for advice, or provide with some seo tools which the internet is full of. Tip:  There are some strategies that might need to hire somebody – we will discuss this aspect in the article of External Optimization.

The Importance of Keywords

So the keywords are quite almost the main parts or items that signal the search engine about the relevancy to the search term of the reader. And of course the reader quantity and time he/she stays on your blog plays its own role in defining and ranking a page.

How to get the right amount of keywords?

Now there is a big discussion going on the internet and various seo forums on this topic. Everyone wants to know what is the right amount of keywords that must be used in a single post? Well I would say there is no such thing! Google simply analyses your article,  the amount of links coming from different sites including yours, also it calculates the human interest in the specific topic on your blog (site) and the relevancy of this or that article to the site’s main direction (niche). The only thing you need to do here is organize your post to be easily readable by Google robots, by use of previously mentioned seo tips.

Please also note that you don’t have to overload the articles with keywords, as this might be dangerous for your site, it is called Over Optimizing. Just use them as much as you need to describe your idea – Tip: Use Synonyms.

My way of Optimization

Reveal you a little secret here; I personally prefer writing a post in a normal way without any effort to optimize it, but only until reaching the general idea of and article! Next> I structure the piece of writing by introduction, main content or Idea, put general subheadings and only after go through the post, and adjust those important keywords and key phrases which are most relevant to the article. After I continue to re-fresh the post with different examples and images.

I personally prefer using 1 keyword in Title tag, making h1 the heading, and ones in the content sometimes with bold or strong. Tip: Never over optimize one post with multiple keywords, it is always better to write 10 articles with different keywords.

Also the top 10 tips can be efficient only when loving your own content and working on both aspects of developing high quality content and incoming links.
