How Important is the Keywords?

One of the significant factor for your blog to be recognized is using keywords so your blog is search engine friendly. What I meant to say is, for your blog to be searchable it needs to be optimized and one way of doing that is using "keywords" and some even use keyword phrases so as not to saturate.  In other words, if you are going to use it so many times also in your post it may appear that it is spammy and it could not be looking good for your readers and most especially in the search engine. When optimizing your blog it needs a balance of the "keywords" that you are going to use so it won't affect your ranking in the search engine results page.

I have read many articles and from experts that the number of keywords depends on the number of words you are writing in an article. Also Google does not like keywords to be used more than 2% in a given post. So if you are writing a 200 word article then you should not be repeatedly use your keyword more than 4 times. I usually use only three keywords for that given article.

Another thing is, spread out the keywords. Many have suggested that you use one each in a given paragraph. And to maximize your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) juice, place your keywords in the first sentence of your article and somewhere at the last part of your last paragraph. In this way, you have a better chance in ranking good in search engine results page. But again, you should know that keywords is just one of the factors that will influence your rankings. Hope you learn something about how important the keywords is.

How to increase blog traffic

It’s one of those days that you need to celebrate and be happy for an achievement that you got. And when it’s there you felt something different and I’m sure a lot knows what it is to be there.

So anyway, I was trying to get back from slumber since I am not feeling well in the past few days because of cough and colds. And when I went home from work early this morning I felt something that is not right. I ate breakfast before going to sleep but wasn’t able to sleep immediately because I felt that my whole body is so hot that I began to cover my whole body with the blanket. I took my baby’s thermometer and slid it in my armpit… a few minutes had gone, check the reading and jackpot!! I officially had a fever, it was 100.8 F. That’s the reason why I’m not feeling so up this morning. My wife noticed and gave me an analgesic but I took two of them at the same time then doze off.

I woke up mid afternoon with my wife’s prodding so I can take some food in my noisy stomach. I felt different already and a bit energized from the good rest I had and no longer feel feverish. After doing some errands in the house, I went on and open my laptop to log in my daily routine for my writing gig and along the way it just came to my mind to check if there are changes in my Alexa ranking and it is still 1.8 million. But it is way better than before when it was still more than 10 million and thanks to Adgitize for bringing it down tremendously in just a few months time. The good thing is, in my other blog “Be a Lifesaver Of Goodness”, it stands below 850 thousand already and in the next update it will surely be below 500 thousand.

But that’s not what I am celebrating right now, it was just part of it. I usually check both my Alexa and Page Rank, so I could determine the progress, and noticed that my PR is already zero (0). I double check yet still remain the same. Went for work and check it right there and yes it is still zero. And all bloggers know what this meant for your blog and how important it is especially to those who are accepting freelance writing jobs. I am hoping for more opps to come in my way. Now it’s official that I am no longer N/A in my page rank.
