With well over 100 million blogs online, it’s certainly not easy to get noticed. But blogging is inherently SEO friendly. Why? Because search engines look for fresh content. And if you’re using your blog correctly (i.e. you’re updating it consistenly) then getting great SEO results is just a matter of time.

One good way to differentiate yourself is to find a niche. Even if you’re in a crowded industry, you have to search out niches within that industry.

This is where SEO comes in. The first thing you must do is target the keywords your customers, or potential customers, are using to find solutions in your industry. Keywords are, well, key. You want to select keywords that are popular and relevant to your site. At the same time, you don’t want to target what I call crowded keyword markets.

For example, let’s say you’re a shoe seller. Now, the keyword “shoes” is big…too big. Even if you blogged for years you probably wouldn’t be able to compete for that term. Look at your shoe business and find something you can differentiate yourself with. Are you the largest shoe seller in the county? Do you make custom boots? This may seem trivial but it’s absolutely necessary if you want your blog to rank well in the search engines.

Improving search engine rankings is a key goal for most bloggers. However, focusing on search rankings for the sake of rankings can seriously affect content output.

Below are tips on how to maintain high content quality and improve search rankings simultaneously.

The Significance of Keywords

Using relevant keywords in blog posts is the simplest and most commonly used technique for optimizing for search engine. Here’s the problem with keyword optimization. If you’re trying to fit a keyword into your blog post, you’ll tend to over optimize. This is especially true if you don’t have much subject knowledge.

To overcome the over optimization dilemma, others say the trick is to put keywords as close to the beginning of the text as possible. While good in theory, it also tends to miss the point of blogging, which is to provide quality content.

Use to following tips to get your blog on the right marketing track.

Tip #1- RSS Your Blog

Just because your blog is live, don’t assume visitors know about it. Imagine your blog is a nice sized chalk board sitting in your basement. How do you get it out of the basement and onto the sidewalk? That’s where RSS feeds come into play. RSS simply allows others to syndicate content from your blog to their blog or website. Using RSS feeds to promote your blog is an effective way to get your content noticed.
