Work From Home-Earn Extra Money With A Cash Blog

How important is utilizing proper onsite seo techniques? Very important if you long for high ranking in the serps, and especially Google. If you succeed in a first page showing, for your keywords, in Google, I would imagine the other search engines are going to like your offerings as well, and you know what? You’ll have the opportunity to earn extra money online.

Offsite seo is probably of even more importance in getting on that coveted first page of the serps, but don’t shoot yourself in the foot by neglecting your onsite seo! If working from home and earning extra money with a blog is your goal, you should make sure all your ducks are in a row, ie. get your onsite seo right, than work on your offsite seo on a continual basis.

A first page showing, for keywords that get searched for (why go after ones that don’t!) will bring your site traffic, and traffic=extra money in your pocket. It’s as simple as that!

So onsite seo becomes a very important piece of the seo puzzle, and one that deserves you attention.

So here’s a list of steps (in order of importance, more or less) that can help your onsite seo be all it can be.

• Use your keywords in your title. This is very important! Google puts a lot of weight, from a seo standpoint, on the title. So don’t waste this chance to use the your keywords. And not only in the title but making your keywords the first words of the title is also a good idea.
• If you’re targeting a search phrase be sure to use it in the form it will be searched for. So if you were targeting “how to make money from home” do have that exact phrase used several times. That’s not to say you couldn’t also mix it up a little, like “stay home and make money” or “earn money from your home” but try to use the phrase that the search engine user will use, as your main keywords.
• Create good content, and cover your topic well! Don’t skimp, when it comes to writing content, whether it’s a post,  article, or anything you write that you either have a link in or that you think  could show up in a search engines results. Use your keywords (but don’t get carried away, a sprinkling of your keywords is enough) and again cover the topic well. I plan on taking my own advice here on Cash Blog, and making sure my future posts have some meat to them!
• Use your main keywords several times. Again don’t get carried away, use your main keywords in the opening paragraph and again as you close, with a sprinkling in the body.It’s said 1% to 5% keyword density is about right, but I just try to make sure Google knows what I’m writing about! This doesn’t have to be difficult,  just use common sense and make sure there is no doubt what your topic is! I’ve seen people bolding the keywords, but I don’t know whether that is really necessary.
• Have internal links to more good content on the subject of your post. Link to other posts within your site that gives the reader (and bots) more good useful information. Be sure to use relevant keyword anchor text in these internal links. Also, I like the Similar Posts Plugin for Wordpress, which automatically puts several relevant posts at the end of each post.
• Use your keywords in your tags. Don’t be redundant, but be sure to include all your keywords in your description tags.
• Include a site map. If you use Wordpress use a site map plugin to help the bots find all your pages, if not create a site map page. Try to make sure your visitors can access any page of your site within three clicks of your home page.
• Break up your content with images. If you use images (I need to use more!) be sure to use keywords in the “ALT” tags.
• Don’t forget the importance of your domain name. Pick a domain name that has your main keyword(s) in it,  preferably the only word(s), or as close to first as possible. Register your domain name for longer than a year. This may not carry a lot of weight but every little bit can help!
• Use your keywords in the comments section too. Use your keywords in your replies to comments on your blog. You’ll find knowledgeable commenters using your keywords in their comments to you.
• Create a custom 404 page. Or at least make sure anyone who lands on that page can find relevant information within your site easily.

Conclusion

Onsite seo is really pretty straight forward,  just follow the steps one by one. Once you’ve done this a few times for your articles it becomes second nature. I found a site that gives your pages a “grade” for your site’s Marketing Effectiveness my Work From Home site got a 95.6% grade which is pretty good. The site also gives you recommendations on how to improve your grade (I’ll be improving mine.) You can also find many other free online tools to judge your sites effectiveness from an seo perspective.
