Designed to help you rank well in search engines and enjoy a wider audience, writing content for SEO is a critical part of becoming a well-known blogger in your given field.<\/p>\n

Write your page to load quickly.<\/h3>\n

While it\u2019s not an element of on-page SEO necessarily, page load time is a huge factor in the world of SEO, and there are certain steps you can take during the writing process to streamline load times. 40% of people abandon web page when they take more than 3 seconds to load, so it\u2019s essential to keep load time in mind as you craft your pages.<\/p>\n

\n
• Optimize your images.<\/strong>Images are an important part of a good blog, and they\u2019re critical for SEO, as well. When they\u2019re too long, though, they can easily harm a page\u2019s load times. With this in mind, optimize your images to load more rapidly. This involves adjusting your image sizes so that they\u2019re not excessively large, uploading speed-friendly image formats (JPEGS are the best options), and inputting image src codes to prevent the browser from surveying the page directory in an attempt to \u201cread\u201d the image.<\/li>\n
• Keep redirects at bay.<\/strong>Redirects\u00a0can destroy your page load time, so it\u2019s important to keep them to the bare minimum. As much as you can, avoid citing URLs in your content that redirect to other URLs. This will help enhance your load time and create a better user experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Make your headlines powerful and attention-grabbing.<\/h3>\n

  The headline is a huge asset when writing content for SEO. In addition to the fact that the headline is the first thing people see, it\u2019s also one of the primary things that Google evaluates when ranking your sites. To ensure that your headlines are performing well and drawing readers, be sure to do the following:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Include relevant keywords.<\/strong>For best results, input your keyword phrase at the beginning of your headline to make it as prominent as possible.<\/li>\n
  • Keep them the correct length.<\/strong>Current stats\u00a0say\u00a065 characters or fewer.<\/li>\n
  • Use action words.<\/strong>Action words\u00a0make readers want to act. When your headline asks someone to click, share, or download, they\u2019re more likely to do just that.<\/li>\n
  • Address the reader directly.<\/strong>Addressing the reader directly\u00a0makes your headlines more personal, and can grab a reader\u2019s attention from the depths of the SERPs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Optimize your meta description.<\/h3>\n

    Meta descriptions are the small snippets of descriptive text that show up in Google\u2019s SERPs. If you want SEO juice, you\u00a0CANNOT<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>ignore this part.<\/p>\n

    Include keywords (but not too many).<\/h3>\n

    Keywords used to be all the rage in the world of SEO. Today, the buzz has quieted a bit, but they\u2019re still an important piece of on-page SEO. With this in mind, you\u2019ll want to include relevant keywords in all of the writing you do, but take pains to not go too far with them and \u201cstuff\u201d your content like a Thanksgiving turkey.<\/p>\n

    Use links to beef up your SEO strategy.<\/h3>\n

    Links are a powerful tool to help improve your SEO. While internal links (links that point back to your own content) can help direct users to your other material, external links (to\u00a0high DA\u00a0sources with a score of 50 or above) will help communicate to Google and other search engines that your website is authoritative and relevant, and that you value quality connections to other online content.<\/p>\n
