Sometimes a blogger writes a First-page deserving article, gets ranked well but spoil the juice by not doing keyword research and publishing the article in the Air. As a result, he does not get the traffic he actually deserved. One of the best tools for keyword research is Google AdWords keyword planner and SEOBook. The main motive of conducting a Keyword research is to find out the most profitable keyword for your article. A keyword which has a good search volume is the right choice to be the focused keyword of your blog post.
Example : You wrote a fantastic article on “Making a website fit for mobiles.” There comes two choices for an appropriate title for your post

  • Making your site Mobile friendly
  • Making your site Responsive
Now only keyword research can assist you about the profitable selection. If making mobile friendly site keyword has more search volume than making a responsive site, the first choice will drive more organic traffic to your blog once ranked.

3.Keyword Decoration

Keyword decoration is what I give weight on my niche site. It must be noted that changing the color or keywords in the article does not mean keyword decoration. Keyword decoration includes bolded keywords, italic keyword, keyword in h1 h2 and h3 and in first and final paragraph.

4.Content-Length still matters

Even SEO copyrighting deals with creating long, in-depth, problem-solving and keyword rich content. SEO copyrighting experts focus on long articles because quantity matters as much as quality.
Content length has the key importance because it decides how many time the focus keyword can occur. For a quick instance, A hundred word article may contain the keyword only 3-4 times while long article can have more on the ground of keyword density.
In a study, it has been found and proved that long in-depth articles gain more shares than a short one. Long content is also less affected by Google dance. One the base of long and problem solving content, content marketers rank their blog without backlinks.
Problem-solving and quality content attracts link love as well which means creating backlinks effortlessly and even when your are asleep.

  • Make images SEO friendly by assigning ALT tags to every image in your sidebar
  • If you intend to show categories(labels) of the blog in the sidebar as a widget, make sure you don’t use keywords in categories
  • If you put your main keyword as a label for your post, I advise you to avoid label/categories widget in sidebar
  • For Niche sites using excessive keywords in labels and demonstrating them all in the sidebar widget can prove to be harmful which results in no rank in many cases.
  • Make sure that the content length beat the sidebar.

9. Improve Relevancy Through Synonyms and LSI keywords

You need not to show someone that How well ranked your blog is! I have to rank for a keyword which can drive some organic traffic to my blog. Isn’t it?
For getting ranked for your main keyword, you actually have to bring immense changes and copious efforts. But there is something which can bring some quick results (traffic) in a short span of time with less efforts and that is LSI keyword.
Talking about LSI, it is a way of ranking for long tail keywords. LSI optimizes your article for more than a single keyword and open the doors of extra opportunities. In other words, LSI keywords are efficacious in Search Engine Optimization.
You can look for LSI keywords on Uber suggest keyword suggestion tool or long tail pro premium keyword research tool. Ankit Singla better describes how to find LSI keywords for your articles. And see what Ankit bhai said in that article about the importance of LSI keywords in SEO….



10. Avoid Over Optimization (Keyword Stuffing)

Avoiding over optimization is utmost necessary for getting ranked because sometimes you overuse keywords unknowingly. A few points I am figuring out to be checked for over optimization :

  • Keyword Density must be less than 4%
  • Keyword decoration is good but keep it limited up to 2 bold and italic keywords and 2-3 keywords in Headings
  • Do not use more than 3 LSI keywords
  • You should replace main keyword with LSI (treat a LSI as main keyword)
