For targeting the needed traffic in search engines such as Google, you need your blog, and your post to prominently show in the top ten search engine results. By using the proper SEO methods will determine your rank on the search engine results page (SERP). Every keyword or key phrase needs to be used in the titles and first paragraph of the post to be able to get high ranking in search engines.
Keyword is the only thing which search engine searches in your title, tags and contents of your post when someone type it in the search engine. If you are searching with particular phrase, the title or the content of webpage will be the first to be shown on the results of search engine.
As Google has tweaked its algorithms on title tags, it is now required that your page/posts should be related to your title in a particular keyword you have picked.
To explain it in a simple way, your title has a particular keyword that is being search and some of it is also found in your posts and contents.
Get a lot of one way links, as link-exchange and reciprocal links are not working effectively, and these links will only clutter your blog template. Google looks at reciprocal links with a frown. But having one-way links pointed to your blog are the best way to get page rank they said but I said since page rank does not contribute much in the search engine ranking, links to your posts from other sites with a particular keyword. It means that many sites links to your blog with a particular keyword your blog page located on your title post and on the body post itself your blog page will show higher on search engine results.
As an example, if your blog post is about “Samsung Mobile”, and there are thousand of links pointing to your page from the anchor text (samsung mobile). Your page will be put on the top list of the search engine when someone look for the term. But don’t create such links like this yet. A search engine will look at the thousand of links which are going to a blog especially if it’s coming from a high ranking site.
Links should come from variety of locations (let us say forums with different ip address, social networking sites that are not owned by just one owner. Do not overuse the keyword or same anchor text in your link building effort. Just one keyword pointing to your blog post will trigger search engine suspicion.
Its easy to get back links but it needs lot of effort. You can manually submit your own created articles or rehash content from private label articles to article directories. Seach for forums that allow user signature. Use the title of your blog and it’s link in your signature box. Be active in forums and post or reply to posts. Read the rules however in posting so that you will not get banned.
Small methods, but highly popular is leaving comments on other blogs. You can use as your username as your blog title in posting comments. However, you need to post comments that are fitted on the posts or else your comments will be considered as an spamming by the blog owner.
