Before I start this post I want to say something upfront:

1. I am not a SEO expert.

2. I am writing about Blog SEO and not normal SEO for websites.

3. I am sharing some great Blog SEO results I got over the years.

These are not rock-solid truth, fact or science.

Phew… Finally, I can start the topic.

I state those 3 sentences because there are seriously too many self-claimed SEO expert there. Even most of them just talk without successful results. I have no intention to join the ‘gang’. What I’m sharing in this post is real and honest strategy I use for Blog SEO.

After a year of using Blog SEO strategy, I rank high for many keywords I want. I get traffic from hundreds of keywords. I used to call my friend that I’ll rank for a keyword in the first page. After a week, I call him again to tell him I’ve already achieved it. I have indexed my page in Google within 4 minutes which some people take months.

Let’s talk a bit about the big boss of the search engines- Google.

Allow me to say that Google is the best search engine on the internet. I always get the most relevant results most of the time I search for something on Google. And that’s the reason why Google is so successful. It gives its users the most relevant and accurate results. If you are trying to mess with their business which is to manipulate search results and to game the system, they are going to hunt you down by giving you a big slap. People call it the Google slap and many who tasted are still suffering.

If you have the intention to support Google by providing the best content for its users, SEO will not be hard for you. Let’s have a look with these 3 steps:

Step 1: Choosing The Keyword

I’ll usually choose 3 keywords which have high search and low competition. To choose the keyword you want, you can just go to Google Keyword Tool and type in the keyword to get some keyword ideas. Next, go to SEOquake.com and download their add-on on your browser. Go to Google.com and do a search for each keywords you get from Google keyword tool. If the search results of the keyword in the first page have no webpage more than PageRank 3, write down that keyword.

Step 2: Optimize Your Blog Change your blog title into keywords you want to rank for. You can include keywords in your tagline too. Change the permalink at the ‘Setting’ into ‘/%category%/%postname%’. Write new post everyday regarding your topic.

Step 3: Build Links Build backlinks by submitting articles to article directories, submit blog to web directories (over 800 at Addurl.nu) and comment on dofollow blogs.

That’s all. This is the easy version. There’re much more to learn about SEO. I’ll talk about it later. After applying these 3 steps, I believe you’ll rank for the keyword you choose within 3 months.
