in #steemit5 years ago

Alright this is going to be a boring one. Who knows anything about SEO? It stands for search engine optimization. It is very important for bloggers and a site like steemit as it helps your post getting higher in search on google and bing. Why does this matter for steemit? Well the more SEO friendly articles on here the more people visit the site. So for this contest write something you know or learned about SEO that can make people's articles better. I am sure it will be a lot of the same answers so I will pick the ones that are the most article.

Tomorrow will be another fun one :p

Man that is funny.

I just did some SEO fro a client yesterday and it is on top of my mind at the moment.

Some of the keys to SEO include:

  • Key words - Obviously google and other engines pick out the words that are most prevalent in the site so an article would have to be the same
  • Key word proximity - This one is neat and shows that search engines have gotten smarter and have added expensive algorithms to not only search out the key words but give greater weight when they are close to eachother and used in context for powerful sentences.
  • Freshness - obviously when a site is refreshed and new content is added often, it favours well with search engines. Your blog should be the same.
  • Link Backs - when you link sites in your website (or article here) then that does wonders. What is even better is when outside sites link back to your website(article.) In the case of steemit, having links from twitter, facebook, reddit etc pointing towards your article will be powerful.
    *Accurate info - I make sure that all the information (hours of operation, syntax of business name, address, phone number etc) is accurate and match on all pages/sites. I am not sure the translation here except make sure you are consistent and accurate in your blogs.

I could go on but many have stopped reading already!

WINNER!

Thanks for the great tips.

Wow thanks!

Timing is everything I guess with my most recent SEO client coming right before I read this post.

Thanks for the support and hopefully it was helpful to your followers.

Well since steemit doesn’t allow for much customization in terms of what is displayed in search id say your blog title is extremely important it’s the one thing you can control and display in search so making sure it is well written and includes keywords that have high search volume are very important

Also try to keep your title less that’s 55 characters so it display correctly on both desktop and mobile search result pages

It is also important to use on page mark ups like your H2 and H3 tags to break down your content to allow crawlers and readers to skim the article to find relevant content pertaining to their specific keyword

Thanks @chekohler! 100% spot on! let's see what i can add!

thanks @whatageek lol who knew knowing SEO would come in handy for a competition one day but i'm glad that I do

In steemit, I do not know the ways to optimize SEO, being honest. However, I can say that if you go to the Google search engine and look for something related to steemit, the first thing that appears is our articles, I noticed that especially the articles that have more time are taken into account, of course. The title is the most relevant for search engines.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! Eureka! thank you so much!!! :D

SEO is a way of optimizing a website,web page or a web resource in a way so the search engine can place and rank it in a proper way that makes it easier for everyone to find it over the internet.

There's a lot to say about SEO, but I think the most important thing is that it allows your website's content to pop up in the top results when a using a search engine that way you get more people to visit your website and discover your content.
