Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Introduction

As we are putting efforts in developing a website (or blog), it is human nature to constantly checking page views of the website and compare our performance to others.

  • There is no definitive answer to how many page views per day is considered good for a blog, as it depends on various factors such as your niche, your goals, your audience size and your content quality and frequency.

Nonetheless, when the website is still new and has less than 50 posts, please do not have high hopes on achieving 10,000 views a month.

  • From personal experience, it takes time for your piece of writing to rise to the top of the search engine results, and in fact, many never.
  • Slowly increasing the page views per month would be a more reasonable target, for example from 1000 pages per month to 2000 page views per month.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is critical for driving traffic to websites through organic search results.

  • To rank as high as possible in a search, it is important to follow these guidelines.



Publish Quality Content

Create original, engaging and informative content that your audience will find valuable.

  • Aim for 1000 to 2000 words per article, as longer articles tend to rank better on Google.

It is also essential to update your site with up-to-date information regularly.



Keyword Research and Planning

This is the most critical part of your blogging strategy. Use primary keywords strategically throughout your post, without keyword stuffing or unnatural sounding phrases.
  • You can target relevant and low-competition keywords that match the intent and need of your target audience.



Ensure Website is Mobile-friendly and Follow SEO Best Practices

Slow website loading not only reduces user experience but can also affect SEO.
Submit your website to search engine and ensure it remains optimized for search engines.



Optimize Title Text and Meta Description

Make sure your title text and meta description accurately reflect the content of your blog post.
  • Although meta tags do not display on your webpage, they tell search engines what your page is about.



Optimize Images and Video Media

To enhance your content, include relevant images or videos that add visual interest.
  • Use descriptive file names and alt tags for these media files.
  • Additionally, compress them to reduce their file size and using captions or transcripts as necessary.



Internal and External Links

To increase relevance and authority, use both internal and external links to provide additional information or resources to your readers.

Be sure to fix any broken links regularly, as they can negatively impact search engine results.



Drive Traffic to Blog Posts

To drive traffic to your blog, share your posts on social media platform, email newsletters or other channels.

  • This can help increase your visibility and draw more readers to your content.



Summary

It is important to be patient.
