5 Search Engine Optimization Tips for Beginners

Setting up a new blog can be a lot of work, and I’ve been working hard to optimize the Reserverr Blog for search engines. SEO is something that I think will eventually go away, but unfortunately it’s still a factor today and because of that I still need to optimize my websites. I just went through this blog to give it a quick “SEO Audit”, but I haven’t had time for a full one. I wanted to share all of my new knowledge with you.

1. Optimize your website on page. It’s really easy to overlook this, and conversely it’s quite simple to fix. Remember to fill out all <h1> and <h2> tags as well as <meta> data with relevant, non-spammy information
2. Build back links. As a starter website, building back links from people simply liking your site and giving it a link can be very difficult. A good way to speed up this process is to write articles on do-follow article websites like EzineArticles. This will send a PageRank 10 link straight to your site.
3. Continually provide fresh content. Your users (who are in the end more important than Google) want to see new content delivered to them, and search engines penalize inactive websites. Remember the SEO cliché, “Content is King”.
4. Know your keywords. Your keywords are what you are trying to rank for on Google in the first place. Also remember to begin with easier to obtain keywords than more competitive ones. For example, it would be better for the Reserverr Blog to go with “Organization Tips Blog” than “Organization Blog”.
5. Remember that there are people who are viewing your website. All that Google does that matters is send people. People generate leads for your affiliate programs; people will click on your ads, not bots. Also remember that there is significant penalty for changing your site for GoogleBot specifically.

I hope that these tips have helped. If there are any questions about SEO, please contact me as I’d be happy to help.
