Permalink plays a great role in search engine ranking of your post. There are few rules which everyone should follow for Blogspot permalinks:

• Keep the number of characters in post title to 50
• Remove Stop Words from permalink (Ex: A, an the)

While writing a blog post, you have the option to edit the permalink. Simply use it to edit your permalink and remove the stop words. A good idea is just to use Keywords in your permalink. (Don’t make it look spammy). While writing the blog post, you get the option in your right panel to keep it automatic permalink or manual permalink. Simply select manual permalink and edit it according to your wish

Label adds to the keyword density of the post. Labels should be widened rather than putting them into the single narrow category.

When we talk about BlogSpot SEO, post title plays a major role. Blogger post title is usually followed by home page title. 

Provide good title, description, and footer text

The title, footer, and description plays an important role in search engine optimization of every blog. If you are targeting, some keywords make sure that you included those keywords in the above-mentioned locations.

8 Tips to Write SEO Friendly Posts

Below are some tips to write SEO friendly posts in Blogger that Yoast SEO plugin itself would suggest you.

1. It’s time to write a good title

Post title matters a lot in terms of healthy SEO. If you have added all the relevant keywords in the title that you want to rank for then there are huge chances for your Blogger post to rank on the top of SERPs. Search engines such as Google are designed in such a way so that the SERPs can only show up the first 50-60 characters of your post title, or as many characters that will fit into a 512-pixel display. This limit is not fixed. Sometimes Google highlights some keywords from your title according to the searched query and that also increases the width of the title.

For the titles with length more than the limit, Google removes some part of the title and adds three dots (…) at the end of it. So to be at the safe side, try to keep your title under 55 characters to ensure 95% chances for the proper title on SERPs.

If your blog title is set to show up at the end or starting of the post title then don’t forget to add those characters too to the posts title characters. Summation of both must be equal to or lesser than 60 characters.

2. Set a Focus Keyword

Think of the focus keyword as the topic of your page or post. Focus keyword is what your post is all about. A good post doesn’t have multiple topics, it focuses only on one topic at a time. Focus keyword tells SERPs what exactly your post is all about.

Working around a particular keyword shouldn’t be an issue. But we’ve seen most people trying to add irrelevant keywords to their posts and then hope to rank the site for all of them. It’s not possible. Google’s ranking system works on the concept of ‘precision’. The more precise your post is (according to the search query), the higher your rank will be.

Optimizing a post for multiple keywords is detected as ‘spam’ by Google. So, try to optimize your pages for one keyword and do that well. But how? Very simple, choose a keyword which in the real sense describes your post the best. Focus keyword should be at most of 2 or 3 words. Avoid the use of any stop words in your focus keyword.

To make effective use of focus keyword from SEO Perspective, use the focus keyword at the following places:

·   Post Title (h1)

·   Article Heading (h2)

·   Page URL

·   At the beginning of the post (in the first paragraph)

·   In “alt” text of at least one of your post’s images

·   In between content and meta description

If you are writing an article about SEO then certainly the focus keyword is also “SEO” because it best describes your article. So your post’s title, heading, URL, content, and meta description much be involving the keyword “SEO”.

3. Write a short yet descriptive Meta description

The Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Money-Making Blog in 47 Minutes

http://neilpatel.com/the-step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-money-making-blog-in-1-hour/

Optimize for Search Engine Traffic

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a multi-billion dollar industry.

SEO is the process of optimizing your website to be found in search engines for particular keyword phrases.

I attribute a good portion of my success to being easily discoverable for relevant search terms which has helped me build my networks and net worth.

If you’re new to SEO, then this new feat may seem daunting.

You can get started by downloading a plugin called “Yoast SEO.”

Hover over the plugins menu on the side and click “Add New.”

Search for “Yoast SEO” in the search bar, and it will be the first result that comes up.

Click the “Install now” button. Then hit the “activate” button once the installation is complete.

You can access the plugin’s settings from the new SEO menu in the sidebar or by clicking the icon at the top.

From the dashboard, go to “Your Info” and set the foundations for your blog.

Make sure your website name and tagline are correct. Then identify yourself as a company or person.

Click the “Save Changes” button, and we’ll move on to the next step.

Next, go to the “Webmaster Tools” tab and click “Google Search Console.” Google’s search console is a webmaster tool that allows you to submit your site to their search index and optimize visibility.

Sign into your Google account, whether that’s your Gmail or Drive account.

Once you’ve logged in, click the “Alternate methods” tab and select “HTML tag.”

A new dropdown will appear with your search console meta code. Copy the alphanumeric string without the quotation marks.

Next, paste your meta code into the Google Search Console text box and click “Save Changes.”

Finally, click the “Verify” button.

As you tinker around in Webmaster Central, you’ll gain a wealth of data-driven insight such as keyword phrases you rank for, errors on your blog and the ability to give Google a nudge when you publish a new post.

Next, go to the “General” tab and start the installation wizard.

Yoast will take you through a series of 10 quick steps to optimize your WordPress blog.

The first step is a welcome screen which you can skip.

In the second step, select the environment that best suits your site. Most likely, you’ll choose the production environment which means it is a real website that you intend on driving traffic to.

Step 3 is the website type. Choose blog and click next.

In step 5, you can add any social profiles that are associated with your blog. Click next when complete.

Step 6 is about post visibility. The default settings are fine to use. Set your “Posts” and “Pages” to visible and “Media” to hidden.

Next, you’ll have to decide whether you’ll have multiple authors or a solo blogger. If you choose to add another writer in the future, you can change these settings later.

If you wish to have the Yoast SEO plugin pull in data from Google’s search console, step 8 is the place to do it.

Click on the “Get Google Authorization Code” button.

A new pop-up will appear where you can allow Yoast to access your search console data. Click the “Allow” button to confirm access.

In step 9, you can verify your website name and choose a title separator.

The title separator is a symbol used to separate your blog post’s title and your website’s name in the meta title information. This is what Google searchers will see when finding your blog through a search query.

For instance, if you found this post in Google, you might have saw “How to Start a Blog – Neil Patel.”

The symbol is a matter of personal preference. Click next when you’re ready to go.

The final step is no step at all. It’s a congratulatory message confirming that you have successfully optimized your SEO settings for your budding WordPress blog.

XML Sitemaps

The last Yoast SEO setting worth configuring is an XML sitemap. An XML sitemap is a file that lists the URLs for your website.

It helps Google and other search engines crawl your site for new posts and pages. Fortunately, Yoast has a built in feature that automatically updates your sitemap so you can click it and forget it.

In the “Features” tab, set the “Advanced settings pages” to “Enabled” and save the changes.

A new group of menus will appear in the sidebar under “SEO.” Select the “XML Sitemaps” menu.

Select the “User Sitemap” tab and toggle “Author / user sitemap” to enabled. Don’t forget to save your changes.

You can play around with these settings endlessly, but everything that we’ve set up to this point will get you started on the right track.

Set up permalinks:

Permalinks are static hyperlinks that lead to a particular blog post or page. By default, WordPress sets your permalinks to yourdomain.com/postID.

In no way is this sexy and it doesn’t help anyone understand what the page is about before viewing it.

The simple fix is to set a permalink structure.

In the left sidebar, mouse-over “Settings” and choose “Permalinks.”

There are a few options to choose from. I use the “Post name” structure on my blog which uses keywords from my title to create a unique permalink.

Save the settings after you’ve selected it. You’ll see this in action a bit later.

After you’ve completed your article, you’ll need to make a few last minute optimizations using the Yoast SEO plugin.

Yoast has post specific settings that can be found immediately under the main text area.

The 4 main settings are “SEO title”, “slug”, “meta description” and “focus keyword.”

Completing these settings will generate a preview of what your post will look like when it is discovered in Google’s search engine results.

Create SEO titles that are attractive to click and meta descriptions that explain what your post is about.

The Yoast SEO plugin will provide real-time feedback as you begin to optimize your title and description.

Aim for as many green lights as possible, but don’t stress if you’re unable to get a perfect score. If you can get 80% green lights, then you’re on the right track.

Before you publish your post, you can view what your blog post will look like by clicking the “preview” button at the top of the page.

If everything checks out, you’re ready to publish your first blog post.

Scroll to the top of the page and click the publish button to post immediately.

If you only write whenever it’s convenient, you’re heading down a dangerous road.Write every Sunday at first.

Step 9. Monetize your blog.

The last step is to monetize your blog. You may not have a desire to monetize your blog immediately. If that’s you, then it’s a good thing.

Anyone can put an ad on their blog using Google Adsense. But the real money comes from private sales of ad placements.

If you build a high traffic blog, you can make a full-time income selling ad spots on your website to large corporations. The only thing you need is to add their banner and keep doing what you do best – write about your passion or expertise.

Sell physical products

Another avenue I explored is in the nutrition niche.

Mike and I built a blog from scratch and transformed it into a $100,000/month blog selling a private label fish oil supplement on Amazon.

Our success was mainly due to our blog. We published great content, understood our audience’s needs and directed them to our Amazon sales page.

WHEN TO POST IN FACEBOOK

the biggest social network, with 1.65 billion users – Facebook. An average user spends a whopping 50 minutes on the platform, everyday. The best time to post on the platform for getting more shares was found to be 1 pm, while 3 pm was best for getting the most clicks. People normally reads during office breaks.

Besides posting at an optimal time, you also need to post in moderate quantity. Too many posting bores people.

Facebook: A couple of updates per day

Twitter: Three times per day (if you’ve got the resources, then you can even send 5+ tweets everyday)

Instagram: Once per day

LinkedIn: Once per weekday

WHAT TO POST IN FACEBOOK WALL , PAGE & GROUPS

1. url of your blog post with a good heading. It gets maximum attention.

2. Second comes photo with a good heading. share pictures from your events. Or, simply share photos of your employees – it’s always good to put a face to your brand name.

WHERE TO REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS ONLINE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN FIND YOU.

1.To ensure that prospects are finding your business, you’ll need to be active on Google My Business.

I personally can’t even count the number of times a week I use my smartphone to search for business info via Google.

I also find myself using the “Okay, Google” voice search feature more and more. It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s hands-free. By and large, it’s quite accurate in matching my voice commands.

Getting set up on Google My Business is simple. First, visit the site: https://www.google.com/business/.

2. Yelp

In my opinion, Yelp is the second most important tool after Google.

Some marketers have even gone so far as to say that having your business listed on Yelp is more important than having a website.

To get set up, you’ll need to first claim your business  and visit the mobile download site to use the mobile app for business owners.

3. Facebook Pages Manager

Facebook is a huge deal, so it only makes sense that you’ll want to use Facebook Pages Manager. Visit this page to download the app.

Not being on Facebook is the 1980s equivalent of not being in the phone book. I’m not going overboard when I say your business needs to be on Facebook.

4. Bing Places for Business

Okay, so Bing isn’t nearly as big as Google or Facebook. That’s true.

But that doesn’t mean that it can’t still be a viable resource for marketing your business locally. Bing relies on the same basic premise as Google My Business does, only it does so on the Bing search engine.

It’s easy to hate Bing or totally neglect it. I get that. But listen to this: Bing controls 33% of search!

5. YP for Businessget your business listed free on the YPfor Business app. The YP app and mobile web drive more than three calls to a local business every second.
