Nowadays, we see that blogs are getting a lot of preference in the search results. The only reasons to blog are to target the Google Adsense and better rankings in search engines. The day since the Blogs are known to the search engines as a daily source of information that are modernized on a frequent basis, they get a lot of importance in the search results.

So from this, what things you do to optimize your blog?

There are few basics things that you can apply to your blog to optimize. In the blogging world the two major blogging sites are WordPress.com and Blogger.com. If you are looking for a benefit with SEO, I would suggest you to use Blogger as Google owns them, and your blog will be indexed very quickly.

Compare to Websites, Blogs are much similar to them. The supremacy of a blog depends on the frequency of the posting. The search engines spiders those sites very quickly where it finds fresh contents updated regularly. If your topic is unique, you may be able to boost your blog in the rankings.

Now, lets get to the optimization part.

By using the following tips you will definitely observe the change in the rankings and searches of your blog.

•    Try to use an interesting title – Also known as “link baiting” – your title should attract the user to read further
•    Always try to use your blog keywords in the title – it is hard to do always, but by keeping the title related to the topic, your blog will always be relevant
•    Use the H1 tags – Every blog editors allow for custom templates, so try to use H1 tags to stylize your blog title
•    Linking to other blogs – Search few other blogs related your niche that your readers might find interesting, and ask for a link in return
•    Alt Attribute Text for Images – From 2005 Google started to use all alt text as part of the ranking algorithm. So you should take this into account when creating images, give them relevant alt text

As said above, the key to a booming blog is regular postings. There is no need to write an article every time, just three paragraphs of unique content and with some resource links can make a typical posting.
