Many bloggers believe they don’t need to SEO optimize their blog because they have been told it’s more important to get Social traffic rather than Search Engine traffic. Failing to bring in targeted traffic is one reason many bloggers stop trying to make money online and go off doing something else.

SEO’ing your blog post is simple. It can be done in three simple steps. By following these easy steps, you can increase traffic which can be the difference in a blog that makes its owner little if any income or a blog that is an instrument for additional income.

Follow this advice to SEO optimize every post you write and start reaping the rewards of free search engine traffic.

To begin with, you should make certain your blog post url’s are SEO friendly. With free blogs like Google’s Blogger blogs, this is automatically done for you. If you use WordPress, then set your permalinks so that WordPress will produce optimized url’s when you create a post.

All you have to do in WordPress is find the the Permalinks tab, and check the button next to the Custom field. Then you’ll put a percentage sign followed by the words Postname. {Immediately after the words postname, Now} put another percent symbol. This makes sure your blog will have search engine optimized urls.

The most important tip on SEO optimizing your blog is to put the keyword in the Title of your blog. Let’s say you’re blogging about how to make fast money, then make these keywords the Title of your blog. If your blog is about Dogs, then don’t use something unrelated like your name in the title unless you also have the word Dog in there also. If your name is John and you have a blog named Johns Dog Blog, then you’ll rank higher than if you name your blog something that does not relate to your main keyword.

The next important step is to put your keywords in the Post’s title. If you want blog readers to visit your post about using Ebay to to make extra money, then your post title should have those keywords in it. Forget about using non relevant titles like How I Make Money With Auctions. If you do this, the search engines will have trouble determining what your post is about and you can forget about getting free traffic. If you’re blog is monetized with Adsense, this tip will increase traffic while showing the highest paying ads for an increase in the pay per click you receive.

These three tips will go a long ways in helping the Search Engines know what subject your blog post is about. By making it easy easy for the search engines to know what subject your blog post is about, they’ll rank your post higher than a non-optimized blog.

Now the only thing you’ll need is to build links to your blog and blog post. But I’ll have to save that for another post. But you need to learn how to optimize your blog before tackling link building.
