Earning a good income through websites is not as easy as it appears to be. It is not just that you create a site and dollars keep flowing to you, but there’s more to it. In fact, there’s a lot more. Generation of income through websites demands good ranking of the site in search engine results.

Reports state that search engines are the major sources of traffic to any site and anybody losing on this front isn’t considered healthy for his or her business. According to the survey of Forrester Research Inc. (an independent technology and market research company), 81 % of internet consumers find web sites through search engine’s. So, it shows more than three-fourth of the site hunters who can reach you only through the search engines. But what all can bolster your search engine performance?

To begin with, you have to choose one or more keywords that are relevant to your site. It is also for you to see that the chosen keyword is not into too much competition as that will lower its chances for highlighting the site at a good position anywhere. Phrases are preferred over single words when it comes to choosing a keyword.

Appropriate placement of the keyword phrases in the title, description and content of the page proves to be very helpful as the search engines like this. It has been observed that people don’t go beyond the third page of search results to fulfill their needs, and most of the seekers would never like to look after the first page even. So, it should be a very important concern of yours that your website appears in one of these three pages.

Using header tags with the keywords in it is again a beneficial technique for scoring high from the search engine’s views. The prohibited part here is that your content should never appear as if the keywords have been stuffed – too much of anything is bad and engines despise stuffing. Hence, instead of bettering your position, this may be detrimental for your site ranking.

This was the on-page SEO activity. Next is the off-page SEO works where you work away from your website to make it more and more popular thus, increasing its position.https://bit.ly/34KI2aS

Trying as hard as you can for putting your site’s link in other site is helpful for making your site rank better. And here, it is much better if those sites work with similar subject as that of yours. Moreover, the quality of those websites providing links is also a criteria for ranking better in search engines.

Design and appearance of your site is always a feature that can attract revenue to any site. But that is only after visitors reach to your site. And for any portal to make visitors reach itself, there is the need of optimizing it – onpage as well as offpage. And this total combination of activities is known by the name of Search Engine Optimization.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
