Optimizing blog articles on Blogger

Blogger is an excellent free blog writing platform provided by Google. The problem with Blogger is sometimes you have to get creative in applying different search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to improve search rankings.

Step 4. Type <title> in the search box and hit "Enter". You will now see the title tag highlighted.

Improving Your Blog Writing Image On Google Plus

Customizing Google Plus to share blog articles

You may be one who feels that improving your blog and web content image on Google Plus isn’t that important.  Google Plus is now the second most popular social network and many businesses are starting to realize that fact.

Would you believe that images can help you become more successful in social media marketing? Why? When you share blog or website content and don’t include an attractive, attention-grabbing image, you are just sharing yet another plain-text status update.

People are in a hurry and oftentimes are drawn to a blog post or web page by the photo or graphic first, and then they may decide to actually read the article.

There is one simple way of improving your blog and web content image on Google Plus.
Sharing blog and other web content on your Google Plus page is really not that difficult. All you have to do is insert a share link or button somewhere at the top or bottom of your post, sign in to your Google Plus account and wham! – It’s shared.

Blog Writing With On Page SEO In Mind

Freelance blog writers must know SEO basics

The ever changing search engine algorithms make quality blog writing a necessity. As you write your blog article and during your editing process, you should always keep blog writing with on page SEO in mind.  Let’s review some important elements of blog writing with on page SEO in mind.

Your Blog Title Can Be The Most Important SEO Factor

 

SEO experts advise that the title of your blog article should be no more than 70 characters in length. There seems to be no evidence that longer titles will interfere with search results, but 70 characters is the maximum that will be visible in the search. Keep in mind that the title is probably all people will see when you share your blog article in social networks.
Your blog title must tell a potential reader what information will be found in the article and should be interesting enough to encourage someone to click through to your article.

With the new word processor every blog writer could immediately determine just what quality web content is and how to design it to rank best in search results. Here are some ways that a Google word processor could benefit everyone.

If you have made it this far, the title of this article was a success. That’s exactly what blog post titles are supposed to do – get the reader past the first paragraph.

The title must be relevant to the article, be eye-catching, and cause the reader to at least scan your article.
