Keyword research and usage

Keyword research is the first step for writing a post. Whatever you are going to write is oriented about a specific keyword which you are trying to target or which you want traffic on your website. Like if your site is about fashion then you will try to target Fashion news or Latest fashion design. You will not go for fifa world cup or Buy a book.

You need to know your specific keyword and then post your content about that keyword. Do a little keyword research using these tools and find all the relevant keyword about your topic. Then start posting the content by adding these keywords in your content.

When robot will crawl your website and find the keyword again and again then they will rank your website in that specific niche but be careful again, don�t do keyword stuffing. Use maximum keyword density as 3% and don�t go beyond this.

Optimize post properly

On page and off page SEO are extremely important for every webpage. Your content will only appear in search engines if your website is search engine friendly.

• Use main keyword in your post title as it will appear first in search engines. Use 6o words post title.
• Add 150 words Meta description including main keyword.
• Use headings (H1 to H6) to categorize your content. H1 is for the most important part then H2 and so on.
