One of the most common tips, constantly seen across the SEO (search engine optimisation) spectrum is "create good content". This relevant, but confusing, bit of advice is exceptionally important in the blogosphere, where content is the bottom-line. SEO experts must therefore, demystify this aspect for their blogger clients. After all, if creating great content meant only writing good posts then tied at position one would be thousands of blogs. Listed here are a few tips on implementing SEO for a blog, with content creation in mind.

There are two categories of readers who will visit a blog; one will be a regular human visitor and the other, a spider or bot from Google. Remember that your post title must appeal to both if it is to be correctly optimised. A catchy line or witty phrase can hook a few readers, but a Google spider needs more. Correctly titling your posts means maximising the keyword usage over the title without compromising the title's coherency. The post's title tag is as important as the title is. Adding not just the post title but relevant keywords as well, can give your blog the much needed boost up the search engine rankings.

Most blogging tools use a numeric permalink associated with each page or post. This means that your post has only a couple of numbers for a name, rather than a keyword rich one. This, often overlooked SEO practice, only adds to the relevancy of a post. However, make sure that a number or date is added along with the words since Google News requires at least three numbers in the permalink for syndicating a blog post.

This seemingly innocuous tip is another marketing stumbling block for many SEO gurus, who ignore it with dire consequences. Blogs are driven by human contact, and whether it is writing comments on another bloggers entry or linking your posts to other blogs, this human element cannot be dismissed. Creating a list of related bloggers, checking their work and finally, contacting them is a very good practice. Not only does this optimise the blog since it is a link exchange, but there is also the added advantage of having other bloggers sending the target audience your way.
