Beyond learning how to write for the web and mastering the technical side of posting, you probably have one large question floating around your head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How am I going to get traffic to my blog?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve probably already come across dozens of methods to get traffic back to your website. One of the most tried and true methods for sustainable long-term traffic is SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, refers to techniques designed to improve your site&#8217;s rankings in the search results of Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to SEO there are a few things you\u2019ll need to get right from the get go.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below we offer seven of our best SEO tips for new bloggers, so you can make sure you\u2019re laying the right foundation for future rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/web-hosting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Create-Your-Blog-1.gif\" alt=\"Create Your Blog\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1. Get Your Titles Right<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your titles are more important than you might think. Your titles matter a lot when it comes to your rankings. For starters, you should try to include your target keyword in your title, if possible. Second, your title will determine if people are actually going to open and read your posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People will only share and read titles that are intriguing, so make sure your titles are interesting and relevant. Unsure of how to create epic titles for your blog posts? Then make sure <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you check out\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/a-simple-formula-for-writing-kick-ass-titles-ht#sm.00019gc8m158dd2pu1y2o71vcfsbg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this post from HubSpot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Do Keyword Research First<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin writing you should have a solid understanding of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/14\/understanding-long-tail-keywords\/\">keywords you\u2019re going to rank for<\/a>. At the very least, understanding which search engine keywords your market is based around will point you in the right direction towards creating useful content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will also help\u00a0get you traffic, as having a keyword focus for each post, and optimizing that keyword properly will increase the chances of your post ranking. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Quality Matters<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest elements to focus on should be the quality of your post. In the old days of blogging and SEO you could throw up a crappy, keyword-stuffed post, and the thing would rank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today search engines are much smarter than that. They want to rank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/10\/beginners-guide-to-creating-stellar-original-content-for-your-website\/\">high-quality content<\/a> as it provides more value to their users &#8211; the people who use search engines like Google\u00a0and Bing to find answers to their questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, people are more likely to share high-quality content, and other bloggers are more likely to link to it. The quality of your post is directly related to how valuable others find it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. Know the Power of Linking<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Onsite SEO is just as important as offsite SEO. One great onsite SEO strategy is interlinking all of your content together. Go to Wikipedia to see a site that\u2019s done this effectively. Every single article on their site links out to other content they\u2019ve written dozens of times, at least.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interlinking your content makes it easier for the search engine robots to crawl your site; it helps to disperse link juice throughout your site, and provides more value to your readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5. Consider Using a Plugin<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of technical elements you need to get right when it comes to optimizing your blog posts. Instead of trying to do all of these things yourself it can be effective to utilize a plugin like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoast SEO<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the most commonly used SEO plugins for WordPress, and for good reason. This plugin will help you optimize every single post on your site for SEO, while educating you about the basics of SEO in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>6. Focus on Readers Over Robots<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your biggest focus as a blogger should be making your readers happy. By focusing on user experience you\u2019ll improve certain metrics across your site that are good for SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if one of your posts has\u00a0a low bounce rate and an increased site dwell time (how long a user stays on your site), Google will mark this piece of content as very high-value and it\u2019ll rank much higher. You can watch these metrics <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/01\/add-google-analytics-wordpress-website\/\">using Google Analytics<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delight your readers and see your rankings improve. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>7. Know Your Network<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are there\u2019s already a network of existing blogs that serving your\u00a0space. It\u2019s in your best interest to become very familiar with these blogs and network with those who run them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you continue to produce stellar content, link to them on a regular basis, and share their content across social media, you\u2019ll start to build up a reputation. Often, just a single share or link from these massive sites can do a lot for your traffic levels and rankings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO is constantly evolving, but by implementing the practices above, you\u2019ll set yourself and your site up for success in the long run. Having a long-term focus will always be beneficial when it comes to SEO. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any beginner SEO tips we failed to mention above?
