10 Ultimate SEO Copy Writing Tips For New Bloggers

New bloggers, when writing content for you blog, you need to remember that you're not only writing for what your visitors read but what will get them to your blog in the first place.

Web search really requires that you rank well, in general on the first three pages or better. However, most people will not go beyond the third page. Many will not go beyond the first two pages when searching for goods or services.

So...wondering what's wrong with your website/blog?

Wondering how to get the best results and visitors to your website/blog?

Well as new bloggers you need to consider how much effort you've put into Search engine optimization (SEO). Check out the 10 Ultimate SEO Copy Writing Tips For New Bloggers for some great tips to help you along the way.

Ultimate Tip #1 SEO Keywords for New Bloggers

For new bloggers choosing the keywords on one specific topic to write about can be rather overwhelming. You are striving for a keyword that has a low search result on Google. The lower the search results the more targeted your market will be.

When you are researching your keywords take the time to dig deep to find the correct keywords for your niche. Use Google's Free keyword tool to help you narrow your search. Google keyword tool try it and see how it can assist you in your keyword search. Remember you don't need to mindlessly repeat your keywords to optimize your post, if you do you're likely to achieve the opposite result.

Ultimate Tip #2 Content is King for New Bloggers

Writing quality content for your website/blog as new bloggers can be scary to start with. You may have so much doubt running through your head. Can I really write what people want to read? I don't know what to say! I 'm not an expert! You know more than you think and you can write! Remember even as new bloggers you have the ability to write, providing your visitors with valuable content.

Your content should provide your visitors with "news you can use," an opportunity to learn. Remember in your English class that you just hated, include Who, What, Where, When, Why and How in your writing as much as possible. Your content needs to be unique and needs to be frequently updated which will keep visitors returning and the search engines love it.

Ultimate Tip #3 Page Titles for New Bloggers

For new bloggers your page title is important to remember to have a high volume of keywords in your page title. Having a high volume of keywords in your page title help with ranking in Google and other search engines.

You as new bloggers need to know what keywords you're targeting. Who is your target market? It is generally accepted to put our keywords closer to the front of your title. Go for the compelling title to draw in your visitors/readers. You can also use an alternate title in the "title tag" area. This is a bit of the techie behind the scenes coding that Google pulls.

Ultimate Tip #4 Write Like You Talk for New Bloggers

Does this make sense? For many new bloggers trying to write like you talk can be scary and take a bit of practice. You may think you need to write more eloquently that you would actual talk. This is a big mistake. You need to be natural even in writing.

Writing just as you would talk makes it easier to engage your readers and help them to "listen" to what you are saying. You have a unique voice even if you don't realize it. Make it easy for your visitors to read and understand. Uncover your voice and let your readers listen. Write for your visitors first and search engines second.

Ultimate Tip #5 Meta Tag Settings for New Bloggers

For Search Engines Optimization (SEO) meta tags let the search engines know what your website/blog is all about. Something new bloggers need to realize about meta tag settings is to be very specific and to include a variety of things about your website/blog.

Meta tags include your meta title, meta description and your meta keywords for your web page or posts. Your meta are "invisible," they are not visible on your page or posts. They are behind the scene techie stuff. Meta tags are the single most important "on-site" SEO factor. Meta tags should not be overlooked if you want to be found on Goggle or other search engines.

Ultimate Tip #6 Heading Tags for New Bloggers

Heading tags, meta tags, SEO, YIKES!!!!! For new bloggers this can all be so confusing and overwhelming, however it is very important and can be learned. Heading tags labels your headline so search engines will recognize it as important on your web page or posts. Heading tags make your headline bolder, which makes it stand out.

There are a total of six heading or H tags. You have h1, h2, h3 all the way to h6. Your h1 and h2 tags can only be used once in each post, h3 - h6 may be used several times. Each h tag indicates not on the size of the heading but the importance. H1 being the most important of all the heading tags.

Ultimate Tip #7 Clearly Identify Your SEO Goals for New Bloggers

New bloggers need to realize that SEO isn't always about ranking on the first page of Google or other search engines. It is also about how to incorporate search engine friendly content with your keywords or your "money phrases." These are areas that can lead to visitors taking action. Action to sign up to your newsletter or purchase your product or service.

Defining your SEO goals is important and will ensure that they are in line with your online business strategy. It will help maximize the productivity of your SEO campaign. Define the purpose of your business, then define your SEO goals for your target market or niche.

Ultimate Tip #8 Page Linking for New Bloggers

This can be an area that new bloggers overlook as being unimportant part of SEO. Linking to other pages is one of the fundamental basis of the web. Search engines want to know that you are connected with other pages and content. What you link to needs to be relevant to what your website/blog is all about.

Use internal links to your own website, to relevant articles in your own website. This will benefit your reader and increase the amount of time they spend on your website/blog. External links benefit your reader by providing a third party validation to a certain extent of your "expertise." Both internal and external links assist you with Google and other search engines.

Ultimate Tip #9 Why Use Bold, Italics and Underline for New Bloggers

This is a great tip for new bloggers to use in writing their posts or even designing their pages. Using these formatting tools gives the search engines more weight to your words or phrases. You want to highlight your keywords, however, don't go crazy using these formatting tools. You don't want to irritate your readers or for that fact you don't want to irritate the search engines.

Using these formatting tools also helps your readers/visitors to pick up on the "important" parts of your post or pages. Using these tools will help put focus on what you are wanting your visitors to see or what action you want them to take. It will help break up the article or content making it easier to read and use your keywords. There is a greatSEO tool that will do this for you automatically. It will bold, underline and put your key words in italics and you don't have to do a thing.

Ultimate Tip #10 Consider Using Video for New Bloggers

Calling all new bloggers, bust out your video cameras and start filming! There are several benefits to producing videos about your product, service or even tips and ideas. Google and all the other search engines love videos. You have a great chance of showing up on Google searches quickly and place your in front of an avid group of video watchers. Which in turn could turn into potential customers.Video marketing is by far the easiest method to brand YOU as an expert in your market.

Using video is a great way to communicate "how to" subjects. Purchase a flip video camera to record yourself talking and use the free video software that came with your computer, Windows Movie Maker. Once your video is complete add to your website as well as the top 10 video sharing sites. Just an FYI for new bloggers, video marketing is viral marketing. Videos have a tendency of being shared quickly and easily thanks to social media networking sites.

When SEO copy writing for you website/blog, you need to remember that not only is it what your visitors will read, but will also what will get them to your website/blog in the first place and will get your ranked in the search engines.

Something new bloggers need to remember these are guidelines and don't get hung up on rules, but focus on the intent behind what search engines are really looking for. Search engines want quality search results for people!!
