Content! The most important part of blog which makes people to stay longer on your blog, send feedback(comment), share content and even generate more pageviews. A blog with good quality and quantity is always appreciated by both search engine and visitors. Also while talking about quality content, we can’t ignore “Keywords”, the magical words that brings organic traffic to your blog and help you to climb ladders of search result. Keywords when used properly are proved to be a golden step but if misused or used incorrectly then get ready to be slapped by search engines. Now let’s go to the point which should be considered for writing a quality rich article.

1. Maintain Word Length Of Minimum 500 Words

 

Whenever writing an article, we should describe the whole storyline briefly and also we should try to maintain the minimum word length of 500 words. It is not necessary that you should write only 500 words post, you can write a post with your own word length i.e. from 50 words to 5000 words and more. The concept behind the 500 words minimum is that the more your write, the more information your visitors will get. And if your users are happy then you are happy. Also there is one concept about search engine. If you will write a short post then there is more chance that your article will match with billions of articles which are already published and if you will write a thousands words long post then there is no-chance to get matched with any other article out there. So this is the whole concept behind writing a long post.

2. Use Keywords and Maintain Its Density

 

I already said that keywords are magical words which grabs organic traffic. Using keywords is always being a very sensitive thing because if you use it below the mark then it is totally waste of time and if you exceed the limit then you will get a very bad response from search engines. There are plenty of tools which can help you to discover your desired keywords but the most popular and also free one is “Keyword Planner”. You can use this tool to grab your keywords but what about using them in your article. You should always keep in mind that your keyword density should not exceed the 2% of total length of article. Means if your article is 500 words long then you can use only 10 keywords max. So we have a very limited space for keyword so choose those type of keywords which have high search rate and low competition. This is the basic mantra of keywords in blogging.

User satisfaction comes first, even before SEO. If your audience is happy and satisfied then your blog will take no time to be popular on web.

Satisfied audience share your contents and if tey are webmasters then they can also link to your contents. So it will be more effective if you will pay more attention towards your audience than SEO. ere are some tips to make your readers happy.

1. Describe Everything Correctly
While writing on a topic, keep in mind to start from very beginning because if a newbie hits your blog then he/she should not be disappointed. Also make your writing easily understandable, write it in that way that a 15 year old child can understand easily. While writing a post try to go depth. Explain everything sequentially and also use images and videos to make your article strong. If you satisfied a visitor then there is more chances that he/she will come back again.

2. Respond Comments and Solve Problems
Responding to your visitors will make your relationship strong with your visitors and convert them in your readers. Sometimes we bloggers also have to face spam comments like links, ads etc. so we should try to remove all those comments immediately because if the links were malicious then the visitor will establish a negative thought about your blog. On other hand many visitor use comment box to interact with admin/publisher/author to discuss there problems and its your duty to reply them as soon as you can.

5 characters -- 70 characters
Title Length Limit is very essential to keep in mind while writing article because if you will cross the limit of 70 characters, you rest of title will converted into “…” . You Must have seen while searching around web that some of the results contains “…” at the end of the title in blue colour.
Demerits of keeping title longer than 70 character
There is no penalty on keeping title length more than 70 character, You will not loose anything by keeping your title length more than 70. Just your rest of the title will not appear in search result page and hence if you have any keyword in the last portion of title then it will not be counted.

2. Page Title First Then Blog Title

As mentioned above, Title plays a major role in SEO. Thus using it properly can directly affect your overall SEO. We are talking about Page Title and Site Title.Site/Blog Title will remain same in all condition so there is no means of placing blog title first. Placing Page Title first will weight more than the Site Title first. For Example if you have a post Namely “This Is An Example Post Title” and your blog title is “Test Blog Title then if you are using your blog title at first position and post title at second position then it will look something like this “Test Blog Title | This Is An Example Post Title”. And let me tell you one thing that no one will search with your blog name. Therefore you should use Post Title First to improve your SEO.

3. Use Keyword With High Search And Low Competition In Title

Using keyword is as important as breathing. Like you can not survive without breathing, Your blog can not survive in search engine without Keywords. There are many tools which can be sued in keyword research like Google AdWords, LongTailPro and many others. As keywords are very effective and important also but still you will need to use it very carefully because if you will insert too much keywords in your title and article also then you’re going to be slapped by Google.
There are few strategies which will make you feel bolder in using keywords. Here they are:-
  1. Using most strong keyword as the first word of your title will skyrocket your possibilities to come in 1st page of SERP.
  2. You have only 70 characters for title so use most strong keyword.

4. Avoid Using Stop Words In Title

The”, ”A”, ”Can” are some example of stop words which you should stop using in your page title. Because as i expressed above that title should not exceed 70 character and stop words it eat up the space where you can place a keywords. These adjectives are not counted as keywords by any search engine on web. Using too much these stop words will don’t let you go high. My recommendation is to use these stop words only where they are mostly required. Here i am giving an example, how you can remove stop words from page title.
With Stop Words:
Lumia 535: A New Phone At Great Price By Microsoft
Without Stop Words:
Microsoft Launches Nokia Lumia 535 : Low Price
Here i tried to remove stop words only. Don’t remember is it exactly Lumia 535.Smile BTW this is how you can try to minimize the use of stop words.
