How can I improve my blog? Is there something that needs fixing
or should I make changes?
A well-optimized blog can bring huge positive results to your
online business. The key is to optimize it to be the best blog. You don’t have
to throw away money on making minor changes, but making sure all the things you
care about are done right will lead to better traffic and more leads for your
blog site.
We all know many bloggers fail over-optimization and they end up
with poor blog posts. In this article, we will discuss some tips to improve
your WordPress blog. We hope you find them useful.
1. Add Unique Contents That Go Beyond What’s Staying On Page 2
We usually write short headlines and brief descriptions for our
articles that give an overview of what’s going to happen in the next few pages.
It is not enough for long pieces, so the contents of the whole blog have to be
very specific and interesting. So let’s consider two examples – a sample
headline
You’ll never believe it! It has been years since he got engaged!
Yes! This headline has gone against the grain. Now let me tell you why it
doesn’t work for most blog articles. Instead, add unique contents like for
example
Will you be able to hold out until the end of the year? Just put
your hand on her (or yours if you’re here) and you’ll never forget what
happened last night. A great way to stand out from the crowd is by using unique
titles and contents. Make sure you update them regularly to stay relevant
In addition, title tags often give readers a hint about what
kind of article will come next in Google search results and provide a decent
starting point. There are no guarantees of getting the first ranking, just a
good start.
Some topics people may want to read are “How to stop waking up
in the middle of the night because of stress”, “Why do we have to pay $100
extra for coffee every day in order to get something healthy at home?” etc.
Keep these interesting topics in mind.
This is how you can easily improve your title tag
2. Linking Out Your Other Pages With Good SEO Techniques
If you aren’t connecting with the audience, then it’s difficult
to attract visitors and build interest in your blog. So links to other articles
(the ones that aren’t SEO optimized), blog posts or YouTube videos can also
help you reach out to new audiences. Links are an important part of a
successful blog post. More links mean more authority, more exposure and a
higher chance of bringing more relevant traffic into your blog.
A high number of links can be overwhelming, but with these tips,
you can keep track of everything and ensure each link is relevant, high quality
and worth linking out to.
To help you get started, here are few techniques you can use –
Link from top blog posts to your own Blog posts
Use keywords in articles that follow your blog to connect with
readers
Try to include keyword-rich headlines and sub headlines. For example, instead of adding
‘How to learn Spanish’ to an article on learning Spanish, try saying it would
be awesome to learn English and improve your Spanish language skill by
practicing everyday.
Link relevant and helpful materials to other articles. For
example, if you are looking for ways to save more money with Affirm cards, make
sure you link that resource. Or there’s a video tutorial you can watch to learn
how to install Windows 7/8, but after reading this article on how to set up
windows 7/8, you might as well go check out the same video tutorial.
3. Optimize Images with High Resolution
Images play a pivotal role in blogging and even the visual
design of your blog. While uploading your images is free, but it takes effort
to get them to look perfect in terms of size and resolution. Here are few ways
to increase your image resolution for fast loading times.
Increase size of images — If your image files are too big, they
can take longer time in opening and load on your server. To avoid the file
waiting, you can reduce its size by reducing its pixel dimensions and resizing
it appropriately. If your image files are too large then they can take longer
time in opening and load on your server. To avoid the file waiting, you can
reduce its size by reducing its pixel dimensions and resizing it appropriately.
Remove unused or blurry photos — Unnecessary or irrelevant images can cost you
a lot when loading. Try to remove unnecessary or unneeded images or delete
those images that are not directly related to your content. To prevent
unnecessary images, try and think twice before uploading images. Upload only
those photos that you really want to show before loading pictures on your site.
Change the colours in a particular photo — When uploading images to your social
media, sometimes to change colour background image is used. So, it’s important
to choose which photo to use and create a white balance effect. Also to change
the colour contrast of your images. Delete unwanted text — Sometimes text
overlays in images also makes them bigger, and so you need to separate
different texts separately and try to delete such unwanted words.
Save all the files on your computer and save them again whenever
you upload your images. You can download your images on any device that
supports flash or HTML5 image files. Once your images are ready, move them to
folder where you saved them in the past. Don’t forget to save lots of options
and other settings if you were searching for appropriate themes or plugins for
your image files.
4. Adding CSS & Glamor to Image Files
To increase the speed of uploading and downloading image files,
you need to consider several factors. First, you must have a reliable and
updated hosting account on Bluehost, Host gator,
Wix etc. They offer various resources to make your web site faster. Next, you
should create a sitemap file to maintain the structure of your website by
keeping data related to meta tags like title tag, description tag, images,
script tag. A sitemap file is a tool that allows you to organize data in your
website such as URL, page title tag, schema. This helps you organize and update
your entire website. After creating your sitemap, you need to add images and
link them accordingly. To access image files, you need to open a browser and
type in a file name. Then enter another file name with your cursor. Open image
file to upload images and select desired photos from gallery. Save images for
later viewing once you are satisfied with the uploaded photos. Note down down
important details like date of birth of the person, location of his /her
country, etc. You can add comments for users who will comment on your picture
files
After finishing the process to add files, you can add theme
files to make your blog look professional. Another option to choose is to
develop a plugin to add additional features over-the-top such as sliders,
footer, carousels, menu bars and much more. You can find all the plugins on the
internet and choose the one that suits your need.
5. Create Proper Categories
A category is a block set aside for different sections. Each
section contains a list of items and groups of similar information. For
example, a blog topic section in your portfolio is a group of categories
according to the blog topic area. Similarly, you have multiple categories in
your contact page, product pages, and customer reviews. Moreover, you will have
categories such as ‘how to learn Spanish’, ‘how I became fluent in the Spanish
Language’ and others.
6. Implement An Easy Way To Format Cells in Articles
Cells are elements used to highlight the main parts of a
document and form sections of paragraphs. By showing cells in our articles, we
can control and organise our writing. We can see the structure of our
paragraphs at a glance. Some categories of cells show only basic formatting
such as bolding words with red color, underlining of words with green,
underlining of some sentences with orange and so on.
7. Use External Resources To Increase Readability
External sites are sources of research papers and case studies.
External documents are always written to be understandable and readable. If you
want to improve the readability of your content, you can consider external
websites to get them, which is a little bit hard work.
To find external websites, you can visit the web and find
relevant data. Search engines like Google or Bing can reveal the websites in
your niche by providing an easy-to-read summary of content. Plus, there are
numerous tutorials available on medium to teach you how to format your content
to become more readable.
8. Replace Old Styles With New Ones
There are different styles of designs that are used to write
articles on WordPress and you can use them on your blog. However, old designs
are not the best option. As a result, you can replace them with recent designs
with new updates and improvements. Remember, changing a theme and editing older
style of your articles won’t affect your rankings in Google search results and
it doesn’t change your chances of getting organic traffic to your blog. Not all
blog articles are static and don’t change according to your preferences.
9. Edit Headline Length and Title Tags
Title tag and header are very crucial factors for getting your
blog listed amongst millions of online blogs. At least 70% of readers turn
towards headlines as the first thing that comes into their mind. Therefore,
make sure
