2. Similar to #1, use words in the description that are also relevant to your blog topic. I added my other family lines here, as there is logically more space. The title needs to be shorter.
3. Google (and most search engines) are studying your websites content. What are you writing about? Is the content in sync? 4- What are your labels (tags)? 5- What it the title of your posts. When ;you write, you need not write about the same thing each time. I mix it up to be interesting. However if you want to be found on a specific search or searches you must write about them of course. You must label or tag the article about the content of the article. The more your article headings match the content in the article, match the headings, match the tags, the better Google treats you.
6. Write at least 4 articles a week. I should say publish. Many of us write several articles at a sitting bu schedule them to go on different days. Google hits your site within minutes of publishing it. Google likes fresh content. It treats your site better with steady regular postings.
7. Be consistent over time. Along with the points in #4, it sometimes takes months before you earn your way to page 1. You are competing against every other article published, some searches have millions of competitors. Some searches are easier than others, but they all take some time for your blog to be recognized as a serious result to send people to.
8. Use original content. If you copy another article found on line you are toast. Google assumes they are both spam and punishes both sites. It is O K to copy less than a third of another article and link to it. That is a win. Don't take other sites photos.
9. Make friends in a natural way. If you do as noted in #8, linking and sending people to another site, they may link back to you. The same applies in your sidebar, you can link to other sites. A natural sharing of links from one to another, not trading to trick Google, helps your site. If you write content others like they may take a part and link to you. That helps a lot.
10. Make most of your articles at least 125 words in length. Google uses that as a number that says this is a real article.
