Most Effective SEO Techniques

As we all know SEO techniques are quite crucial when it comes to delivering returns and for best ROI

There has been an argument always between webmasters about this. In my opinion, on-page seo is more important as it doesn’t affect search engines alone, but it reaches your readers.

But for your site to rank well on search results, you need to apply both on-page and off-page optimization.

Most Effective On Page SEO Techniques

1. Interlinking (100% effective)

This on-page seo technique helps search engines to better index your blog as search bots will crawl from one link to another adding all your new pages to their searchable index.

When writing a post, try as much as possible to include links to your other relevant posts, having at least 6-8 links pointing to other posts really works miracles.

2. Title, Meta Description, Keywords And Formatting (95% effective)

Your page title, meta description and keywords – This helps search engines place your content on the right place, it helps them determine what your content is all about.

Formatting – Post formatting is all about optimizing your content for search engines and readers, this includes: using header tags in your post heading and subheadings, ensuring that your text is not too tiny for readers eyes, including your targeted keywords in your post and highlighting them in bold or italics.

3. URL Optimization (90% effective)

You can optimize your url for better search engine results by:

A: Having a good permanent link – The first example is the default permalink of new word press blogs, if your link structure is still like that you can change it by visiting “settings” – “permalinks”, use a permalink that includes your post title, category name or both for good results.

B: Canonicalizing your URLs – Canonicalize your urls to avoid duplication. If a page of your blog can be accessed through multiple urls, search engines will treat those pages as duplicate contents. If you are a word press user, you can canonicalize your urls by using an seo plugin (seo by yoast) or visit “general settings” in your dashboard, include the full url of your blog (e.g. http://www.example.com/) and save. This redirects other versions of a page to prevent duplicate issues.

C: BONUS: Using breadcrumbs – Let visitors (and search bots) navigate your blog easily by enabling breadcrumbs.

4. Image Optimization (85% effective)

Images makes your post look professional, more readable and friendly. Here are ways to optimize your images.

A: Create your own images – 90% of images you use on your posts should be original and always give image credits when you copy an image.

B: Make it search engine friendly by using alt tag and avoid using names like 4850.jpg or image3.jpg on your images, include your keywords in your image name, here’s a good example “Apple iPhone4.jpg”.

C: Compress your images to avoid increasing your blog load time. If you are on wordpress there are lots of plugins to help you with that ex: wp smush.it.

5. Regular Blog Posting (80% effective)

I recently wrote a post on Setting up a blog. Read on the post to know the benefits of updating your blog regularly.

6. Quality Content (100% effective)

Create quality and original posts, posts that provides useful information and apply the above on-page seo techniques.

Best Off Page SEO Techniques

As i said earlier, off-page seo is done outside your blog, it’s all about promoting and advertising your blog. Off-page seo is mainly concentrated towards creating backlinks. Here are off-page seo techniques that works.

7. Social Bookmarking

Use top bookmarking sites like url.org, stumbleupon, delicious, folkd.com, bookmark.net and reddit. You can do a quick Google search to find more high pr social bookmarking sites.

8. Guest Posting

Guest posting doesn’t only create quality back-links for your blog, it drives targeted traffic. 

9. Social Networking

Social networking seems to be the most popular of off-page optimization, even a newbie blogger can advertise and promote his blog on social networks. You can tweet your posts, share it on facebook, there  are a lot of ways to promote your blog on social networks.

10. Commenting

Blog commenting has always been a good off-page optimization method. Dropping relevant comments on blogs creates back-links and even traffic. There are blogs that provide no-follow comments while others are do-follow, but i highly recommend you mix both do-follow and no-follow blogs when creating back-links.
