How to write SEO friendly blog post?

Writing a blog post or an article which is engaging and gets people’s attention is a tiring task. Along with writing a good content you also have to make sure that your blog post is SEO friendly. SEO score plays an important role in making your blog popular.

SEO is search engine optimization and it helps your blog or website to be easily findable on the internet. Having a good SEO score means that your blog post may get recommended by google whenever someone will make a search on the topic related to your post. You definitely need good number of pageviews in order to have your blog or website shown on the first page of search engine but SEO friendly posts will definitely help you progress faster.

In order to write a SEO friendly post you have to make sure all the requirements are met which are set by the hosting platforms. I use the wordpress hosting, so I’ll tell you how you can write a SEO friendly post on wordpress. In wordpress above 80 is considered as good SEO score but I’d say you should strike for more than 90. If you are also using wordpress for writing your blog then you must have seen the page analysis which is given at the bottom of the page where you write your post. It has 3 main things to determine the SEO score, which are

Basic SEO
Title
Readability

On the basis of these 3 attributes your SEO score, which is shown on the right top corner of the page, is measured. There are various things which affect these 3 attributes. You can see what affects your SEO score by just clicking on them on the bottom of your page. Let us discuss them one by one.

Basic SEO

Your basic SEO mainly has four things which effect it. These four things are

Meta description length – Meta description is basically how your post will look on google’s search engine page. It will have the title of your post and under that some preview of the content of your post. Your meta description should not be more than 160 characters and not less than 120 characters. There is a meta description box above the page analysis where you can write your meta description and above that is snippet preview where you can see how your post will look on google’s page.
Content length – It is basically the length or words required for your post. Minimum words required for a post are 300. I’d suggest you to write at least 500 words for your blog post.
Internal links – If you have written other posts, you can add their link to your new post. It will help your SEO score and possible more views for your old posts.
External links – You can add link of the blog of someone else if you want your readers to read that because you find it useful or if you have used someone else’s image/video then add a link to the original. You can also add affiliate links if you want .

These are four main things which effect the basic SEO. Apart from the another thing which effects it is the focus key-phrase. I’ll talk about it in the end of this post.

Title

As the name suggests, title is basically the title of your post and it should not be more than 60 characters. Focus key-phrase also play some role in your title and I’ll tell you about that in the end.

There is another things which may not effect your SEO score directly but it effects the likability of your post. It is your headline score or title score. There is a headline analyzer on the right top corner of the page next to the SEO score, it shows you your headline score. If you’ll click on that, you can see the things which can help you increase the headline score such as common words, uncommon words, power words and sentiment of title. Good headline score is between 60 to 100 but always try to get more than 70.

Readability

Readability as the name suggests helps you make your post easily readable for the viewers. The things which effects readability are as follows

Image or video – Its advisable to use image, gif or video to convey your idea effectively. It helps you score better in your SEO but only use images/videos which are free to use for personal and commercial purposes.
Paragraph length – The length of your paragraph should not be more than 10 lines which comes around 170-200 words. Longer paragraphs will show you error in paragraph length section.
Sentence length – The length of the sentences should not be more than 20 words. About 25% sentences are allowed to be more than 20 words but not more than that.
Passive voice – Always try to write your sentences in active voice. Only 10% of the total sentences can be in passive voice.
Transition words – Do use transition words in your sentences such as and, but, therefore, hence and more. Whenever you are writing a sentence which is more than 20 words, try to add transition word in it.
Consecutive sentences – If you are using the word ‘The’ as the first word of your sentence consecutively then it can show you error. Try to mix up your sentences, use different words to start sentences.
Subheading distribution – The number of words in any heading of your post should not exceed 300 word limit. It is advisable to sub-headings if you are writing a long post.
Flesch reading ease – It only gives error when your post is difficult to read which can be due to the font of your writing or there are too complicated sentences or too much errors in your spellings.

These are the things which effect the SEO score. These things are not very hard to maintain.

What is focus key-phrase and it effects SEO

You will find the focus key-phrase box between the meta description box and page analysis. Focus key-phrase is basically the word or phrase which you can add in focus key-phrase box and whenever someone will search that word or phrase, there are high chances that your blog or post will get recommended to that person.

It is not mandatory to use focus key-phrase. If you use it then it effects your SEO score in different ways and it should be present in

the title of your post
the first paragraph of your post
the meta description
the URL of your post
headings and sub-headings
the image alt attribute if you are using an image
it should also be in the front or middle of your title not in the last

When you use focus key-phrase, do take care of these things. It is advisable to use focus key-phrase as it helps in increasing the visibility of your post.

These are the things which effects your overall SEO score. If you will do all these things right then surely you will get 100 SEO score but sometimes you can’t put focus key-phrase in every heading or you can’t control the number of words under one heading. Sometimes there are no external links to add and if its your first post then there are no internal links to add. There can always be one or two errors in your SEO analysis and that’s totally fine. If you can get 100 the its great but even if you don’t then just try to score more than 90, you will be fine.

Hope this post was helpful to you and do share it with your friends and family, greatly appreciate your support.

What are unique pageviews and unique sessions?

If you have started your own blog then you must have seen unique pageviews and unique sessions data on your blog. You must be wondering what these are if this is your first time writing a blog on your own site. If you don’t see this data on your blog then you just need to create an account on google analytics and connect your website or blog with it. It will show you the daily activity on your blog or site.

Sessions and pageviews are different from each other but they do exist together. In this article I will tell you what both of them means and how they effect your blog. If you are planning to start your own blog then you should know about Blogging: 8 important things to know before you start

Difference between unique pageviews and sessions

What are unique pageviews and unique sessions

As you may have imagined from the name pageviews, it is the number of views your page has. Whenever you write a blog post it gets posted on your listed page. Your each blog post act as a different page and whenever any viewer clicks on your page or read your post its counted as a pageview. So, unique pageviews are the views which your post or page has received in a day. Google analytics gives you the day-wise data of your pageviews and sessions. You should have different page for your blog posts and different for contact and about information. Also don’t forget to add privacy policy page in your site, its very important.

Unique sessions means number of times a new user spends a time on your website. In session you can receive multiple pageviews if the user is clicking on all your pages. So, the time spent by a user on your site is counted as a session. If a user has spent 5 minutes on your site or blog and read your 10 posts on different pages then you will have one unique session and 10 unique pageviews. And if that same user visit your site again after some time then it will not be counted as unique session but it will add up to average time spent in a session.

Similarly, if a user left your site on some page and then he/she comes back to the same page after some time it will not be counted as a pageview, but if he clicks on another page and then again visit that page then you will have two pageviews.

How unique pageviews and unique sessions effect your site

Unique sessions and pageviews both are extremely important for your site or blog. Pageviews will generate you money if you are earning from google adsense. More pageviews means means more clicks on the ads and hence the more money. Also, in order to get approval from google adsense you need to have good number of pageviews.

Without unique sessions you can’t have unique pageviews. For more pageviews you require more unique sessions. With unique sessions another data shown by google analytics is average session time. With average session time it shows how much time a user spend on your site on average in one session. More average session time means more engagement. More engagement means more time spent on looking ads if you are running ads on your site, hence more money.

Therefore both the unique sessions and unique pageviews are very important for your site. You should always update new posts on your blog or site so that you can achieve more sessions and pageviews. Hope with this article you don’t have any confusion between both of them.

Two main reasons to always invest your money

We all like to put our money somewhere where it can grow in value. Most of us decide to put it in a savings account. Putting it in a savings account is the most secure way to preserve our money in our minds. I’ll give you two reasons for why you should always invest your money instead of saving it in bank account.

Most of us think of investing as a gambling. Whenever the word investing comes we immediately think of stock market and we decide to not go for investing. Money can be invested in number of ways and in number of things. You can put your money in real estate, gold, land and of course in stock market. Even if you don’t have a large amount of money, you can always start with a smaller amount. Everyone should opt for investing their money and see it grow in value.

Here are the two reasons to always invest your money instead of saving it in a bank account.

1. If you don’t invest your money then its value will decrease with time

Your money will lose its value if its being kept in bank account. Let’s suppose you saved 10000/- in your account and your bank gives you 3% interest rate per annum. After one year your 10000/- will become 10300/- and in the mean time the prices of vegetables & fruits have gone up, prices of petrol & diesel have touched the sky and all the basic day to day life things have become expensive but your money is only grown by 300/-. So now your 10300/- will not be able to buy things which you can buy with 10000/- a year ago. It has decreased in value because you didn’t invest your money.

The value of your money doesn’t go up with the inflation if its kept in your savings account. Therefor you need to put your money somewhere where it can also grow with the same rate. Investing in stock market is one of the easiest way to invest your money. You can start with a small amount. You can also invest in land & property or in gold. With investing your money you give it a chance to grow with the market and with this it will not lose its value.

2. You give yourself financial freedom if you invest your money

If you invest your money in stock market, gold or in real estate, it can give you the large percentage of return. Yes, there is a chance that you may lose your money in stock market, There is 1 big mistake in stock market most of us make and it costs us our money. But if we can avoid that mistake then stock market can turn out to be very useful.

With good return of our investment and investing gradually and smartly we can actually overcome our financial problems. It can actually give us the financial freedom which most of us can’t get from our job. If you are able to make some smart investments then its possible that you may not have to worry for your job again. You will become financially stable and independent. So its always good to invest your money because it has a lot of potential which savings account doesn’t have.

These are the two main reasons according to me for which I think you should always invest your money. It will be very beneficial for you and there is no harm in it as long as you don’t make any rash decisions. Hope this article was helpful to you.

Blogging: 8 important things to know before you start

If you are a beginner and thinking of starting a blog then you must be reading about it on internet or watching videos on youtube to get better understanding of it. You will get number of articles or videos talking about how you can start blogging and earn money from it. But there are some things that no one talk about. There is more to blogging than just buying a domain and starting your blog.

To start a blog you have to get domain name and hosting name for your blog. These two are the most essential things to start your blog. If you want to know about domain name and hosting name or how and where you can buy them then read this post Why you should start a blog now? In this I have talked about all the basic details you need to know about creating a blog. This will help you to create your blog but there some important things to know before you start blogging.

Here are some important points to keep in mind while starting a blog

You will have to create different pages for your website or blog. Its not like you have bought domain and hosting name and you will start writing and publish a post. No matter what platform you choose for blogging you need to create different pages. Your blog must have separate pages like home page, contact page, about page and blog page where you will post. If you choose wordpress for blogging then you can use in-built themes which already has those pages and you just need to edit them so it can be little helpful.
You will also need various plug-ins for your blog to function. You will need plus-ins for almost everything you want to do on your blog. For better themes, analysing performance, social media sharing, adding affiliate disclosure. Honestly it can be little overwhelming with so many plug-ins and it can affect the speed of your site.
Your blog or website should be legally compliant. Legally compliant meaning it should have the page that discloses the information of how you will use users personal data. You must have privacy policy page on your blog to avoid any legal action. You can use privacy policy generator to generate a privacy policy for your blog. WordPress also have a privacy policy page, you can add disclosures in that according to your blog.
It can take months before you make your first income. Starting earning from blog can take a quite a bit of time because to monetize it you need viewers. Getting audience for anything is very difficult task and it can take you months to get first 1000 views.
Even after getting your first income from blog it can take much longer to make considerable amount. Once you get viewers you will need google adsense to run ads on your site. More views on ads means more money. Google adsense pay according to per 1000 views. So to earn a good amount you will need to have many thousand viewers. If you use affiliate marketing to earn from blog then you will need your audience to buy from your links and it can take a long time to build that relationship between you and your viewers.
You will need to be consistent with your writing. Write and publish posts atleast once or twice a week for months to gain viewers. You may feel demotivated at times but you have to patient and consistent with your effort.
You will spend more time thinking about promoting your blog than writing it. Getting first 1000 views are the hardest. You will have to promote your blog on social media, among your friends and family. Even after all that you may not see the boost in views. So you will think more about how you can promote your blog than thinking about what to write. Actually there is nothing wrong in that but just don’t totally neglect your writing. Remember to be consistent with it.
You may feel like quitting but don’t. There may come a time where you will think that you have nothing more to write or you are not getting expected viewership, just don’t get bothered too much, try to stay calm and focused. You can take a few days break but don’t leave it half-way through. Be patient and keep on writing, you will get what you are wishing for.

These things are must to know before starting a blog. Hope this was helpful for you and if it was then do share it with your friends. I greatly appreciate your support and wish you well for your venture.
