Top 5 easiest internet marketing blogging tips that will help you get your posts read!

Without getting too technical or over the top, let me share with you the Top 5 internet marketing blogging tips I’ve learned over the years that has allowed my blog posts to get me great search engine rankings as well as into business with some great folks who otherwise would never even shown up on my radar!

1. Syndicate to your social media networks - Clearly one of the greatest advents to come out of the social media explosion is the ability to communicate and share on a massive scale. Blogging and utilizing your interactive content to reach a larger audience through syndication and sharing your content opens up your internet marketing world and puts your posts in front of folks who otherwise may not know who you are or what you sell.

2. Use your keywords wisely - This misnomer about the word ‘keyword’ is that some think it is a single word. A keyword can be a series of words like ‘internet marketing blogging tips’ which is what I’m using for this particular article. Placing your keyword(s) in your Title, header, sub header and in your article itself makes it easy for the search engines to find your post and get it in front of the folks who are searching for what you’re talking about. It’s also good practice to bold your keywords.

3.Make your blog readable - If your article is one long, run on sentence…very little chance you are going to capture the eye of your reader. As mentioned in tip #2, using headers and sub headers make your blog more readable and gives the search engines an easier target when looking for your posts. Here are some examples:

Header 1

Placing a header at the beginning of your post and sizing it ‘header 1′ is like a beacon engaging your readers and letting them know what they are about to read. Placing your keywords in your header 1 is also critical.

Header 2

Placing a sub header somewhere in your article gives your readers a breaking point in your post. This is also a great place to add your keywords again as well as transition to a call-to-action in your blog.

4. Add a picture & backlink - Being that most of you readers are visual, adding a picture that lends some common aspect to your article is key! You will also want to use alternate text to identify your photo to the search engines. Placing a backlink in your article is also very important as it gives your blog not only a reference back to another post or blog (essentially passing traffic from one to another) with relevant content but helps create a 2 way connection to another site that lends validity to your article essentially acting as a recommendation giving the search engines a reason to identify your ‘anchor text’ and ‘page rank’.

5. K.I.S.S. your blog - Last but not least, make your blog understandable and simple! We’ve all heard the term ‘keep it simple stupid’ and that is exactly what you should do (for the most part). Writing at a level that makes your content easy to follow and using around 300-400 words (I’m way off on this post) is also good practice as it tends to keep your entire post on the screen without making your reader scroll down!
