Backlinks are key!

If you are writing and publishing blog posts onto your website, it is crucial that you include relevant links to other high-quality websites. Link building remains a fundamental part of the smart search engine optimization strategy. In SEO Yoast backlinks are known as your “inbound links.” Backlinks add value to both sites for SEO. In essence, backlinks to your website are a signal to search engines that others vouch and trust your content.

Reaching out to companies who are partners for you and asking to write a featured post for their website is a great way to build organic LinkJuice. 

Humanize your writing 

Writing for people before writing for a search engine is crucial if you want to earn engagement and views on your post. At the end of the day, other people are reading your content, therefore you want to create content that’s relatable. Yes, keywords are important and you should add them into your posts but you should not be overloading your content with keywords. This causes it to be unreadable and will drive less engagement from readers. Focus on how people engage with your brand, product, or service. Search spiders are not the ones reposting your articles or purchasing your products, people are.

Remember to always add a CTA to your social posts that link directly back to your website. Social sharing will help boost your SEO ranking significantly if you stay consistent with organic content and ask people to share your content.
