You read an article and after that you want to post a link of another article or site/blog that you know, which is related to that article, in the comment section.

But you don’t know how to give a link, so that when someone read your comment and click on the 
link that you have given, will lead him/her to the desired site. 
And you want a title in place of that link(url)...
So here is HOW to post a link (which just shows a title in place of that link)

   It’s very easy to do. Following is the code;
        
  <a href="URL">Title</a>


Replace “URL” with the link.
Replace “TITLE” with your desired title name.

NOTE:

  • Don't post many links in comments or it will be detected by Google as spam.
  • Don't post link in comments just to build backlinks to your blog.
  • Don't post links which are not related to the article.

          Image optimization is a good SEO practice but many of the bloggers especially newbies don't realize how important is it to optimize images.Image optimization can generate more traffic from image search for example ; Google images or Bing image search.

         If you have lots of images in your blog and non of them are optimized then start optimizing images from today to get this extra ton of traffic.
        
         But image optimization is very easy and I will show you how to do it in this article.So lets start;

Image Optimization # 1: Alt Text

What is Alt text ?

 It is the text through which search engine understands the image.Simply, it defines the image.

    Search engines don't understand or can't read images.So, you are wrong if you think that there is text in the image and search engine will read it.Alt text is the solution to it and search engine read the alt text and understand the image.


How to add alt text?

 In Blogger it is very simple.Just click the image that you have uploaded > click properties > You will get two boxes (Alt text and title text).

After clicking properties, these two boxes appears 



What to put in Alt text and Title text boxes ?

You already know about alt text that it helps search engine to understand the image.
Title text is for the viewers, for example; when you move mouse pointer over a picture, you will see a title,  (check the following screen shot)
What is alt text and title
Example of title text

  • Alt text : You can add a keyword that is related to image and define the image too.
  • Title text : Add a title for example; click to enlarge the photo etc.

Image Optimization #2 : Size of the image

Size of the image matters too because extra large images can slow down the loading time of the page and its not comfortable for the viewers too.

Image size should be normal. 
Edit your image(size) before uploading it in the post.Don't re-size it in you browser, use an image editor to make it to a desired size then upload it.

Image Optimization #3 : Add captions 

Most of the bloggers don't add captions to the image ( including me) but it is important to add captions.

You add images to attract readers and to give your post a better look but to give a better look to the image you should add captions.

Adding captions under the images complete the body of the image and readers definitely read those, so it better be good.


Finale Words:

If you spend hours on optimizing and editing your article just spend a few minutes optimizing your images too because images are the most important part of your article.

How to use keywords

Search engine optimization

                When someone type a word or phrase in the search engine, to describe what they are looking for, are called keywords.For example;Blogging tips, search engine optimization, etc.
               Then you will get a list of webpages related to your keyword that you entered in the search engine.

  •     Now you will be thinking that any word can be a keyword because people can type any word in the search engine, YES that's true BUT the main point here is that "How many people are searching for that keyword(Search Volume)" and how is it related to your blog because you want keywords which are related to your blog or article and have a high search volume.
  
  • Another point here is competition for a particular keyword.for example you typed SEO in the search, it will come back with list of webpages related to the topic(word) you were looking for.So you have to compete with all these webpages but the competition will be different if you search, for example "Search engine optimization", its copmetition could be high, medium or low. But you want your blog to rank high in the search results, so you would need a keyword having low or medium competition because it will be very difficult for your new blog to have a keyword with high competition and compete with many other mature sites/blogs.

Choosing Keywords :

              What type of keywords do you need?...For that, you should take care of the following factors;
    • High search volume.
    • Have Low or medium competition.
    • Related to your blog/article/idea.
    But how will you get these keyword ideas and how would you know about its competition and search volume?   
    You can use Google AdWords: Keyword planner to get all this info.

    5 Simple Tips You Should Apply Now

        

              10 years ago it was easy to start a site/blog and get noticed on search engine quickly But now everything has changed, there are more blogger which means more competition, more time and more hard work.
    Seo tips

           A number of factors that didn't much matter years ago, matters a lot today.But there is no golden formula that will help your blog get lots of traffic in days or weeks and if there is someone claiming, that he has got such formula, then let me warn you that its all scam.

      I will share a few tips with you that you should apply to your blog. Competition is tough but it doesn't mean you have no chance, you should follow all the tips and trick you have before giving up.

    More Unique  Content :

             Content is the major key but not the only one.Article should be at least more than 500+ words.The longer the better but it doesn't mean that you should add useless stuff in it.You want your readers to stick around so add internal links in article and encourage conversation, give your viewers a positive feedback.

     Keywords :

               Use keywords correctly in headings of articles and especially meta tags.Meta tag is located in the head section of page html code.Choose keywords related to blog or a particular page of a blog carefully and place them in meta keyword tag;
             <meta content='KEYWORDS' name='keywords'/>
                Add upto 6-7  keywords  in the above code in the place of highlighted 'KEYWORDS'(no need for a whole list of keywords) and place it under head section of html as I mentioned before.I have a detail article on that; link is give.
                    Don't stuff your articles with a bunch of keywords or it will be indicated as spam techniques.You can also take help from Google Adwords Tool keyword planner.

    Alt Attribute :

               Google bots can't read images or any text in image so Alt Attribute is for the reason to describe the content of the image.Images are very important to include in your articles, it makes the article more attractive but you would need to optimize those images for Google image search and Alt Attribute will do your job.

    Webmaster Tools :

               Submit your site to search engines with the help of Google webmaster tools and Bing wembaster tools, sign up and add your site.You would need a sitemap to add it to webmaster tools.Its not a visual sitemap but its a dynamically built sitemap which gives direction to the crawlers what part of your site should be indexed and what shouldn't and is regularly updated to include your most current pages of your website/blog. Its easy to generate a sitemap just search for any ".xml sitemap generator tool" or ask your webmaster to add one.

    Social Sharing :

               Social sharing is very effective and helps in higher search rankings.Google+ beats all the social networks, afterall you are using Google search engine and Google will definitely give priority to its own social network.So sharing your content on Google+ is very important.For example when I published my article on How to make your blog look professional and shared it on Google+ then I searched it on Google search engine, the article shared on Google+ came on the first page but not my blog page.
             Share your content on Facebook and Twitter, encourage your readers to comment and share it with their friends..
