@brad_jonesAug 05.2015 — #Please review the other threads on this site regarding SEO best practices and you'll find the answers you need. This type of question has been ask many, many times.
How do search engines find relevant websites for search results? Keywords. Search engines like Google crawl the millions of content produced in the Internet to find the best possible results for search queries (the words typed into the search box by users). You need to include those keywords in your content so that search engines will find you.
2. Make your images SEO-friendly
Search engines can only crawl text for keywords, they can’t crawl images. But that doesn’t mean that there’s no way for search engines to see images.When uploading images to you blog post, take the time to rename your image to describe what is in the photo (Ex: if you have a photo of a mug that’s color yellow, you should rename it as yellow-mug.jpg instead of IMG28492.jpg) . Search engines also look at alt text in images to figure out what it is showing. Your alt text should be a description of the photo.
3. Link to your own posts
This is what SEO specialists call “internal linking”. An internal link directs your reader from one page to another page in your website. According to Neil Patel in his blog post The Seven Commandments of Internal Linking that Will Improve Content Marketing SEO in Kissmetrics, internal linking has three purposes:
a) Aids in website navigation
b) Defines the architecture and hierarchy of a website
c) Distributes page authority and ranking power throughout the site
4. Use topic tags wisely
5. Produce quality shareable content (and promote it)
All of these SEO strategies will be put to waste if you don’t produce content that people actually want to read and share. At the end of the day, the main reason why people will be going to your website is because they want to read what you have to say.
