If you want to rank much higher immediately through search engine optimization, the first thing you have to do is making sure that your blog’s URL contains the primary keyword that you want to optimize. Beisdes in the URL, you can also use it for your subdomains. After that, you can use your primary key phrase in the title of your post and use also secondary keywords in your post’s body. Use the secondary keyword infrequently in the body of your post. Don’t overdo the same keyword over and over again since Google will be able to find it out and will remove your website from their index.
Since keywords in link are more important than simple text, use your primary and secondary keywords in the anchor text of links when you link to other blog posts in your blog. Make sure also that your navigation bar is present on all page of your blog so search engine spiders can find your blog easily.
Furthermore, get linkbacks from other blogs to build page rank and get your blog to rank higher in search engines. You can get it by submitting your blog and RSS feed to blog search engines and directories, link exchanging with other similarly-themed blogs to form richly interlinked networks and link to interesting article you found in another blog. Don’t forget to update your blog frequently and stick with your blog topic to maintain your traffic.
