<p>We all want to get as much love and attention from Google, and the best way to do that is to optimize your SEO blog post pages.

To get the most from your SEO efforts on each of your blog posts, make sure you are following these simple SEO tips.

The SEO phrase is basically just the main keyword you are using for the seo blog post you are writing.

Use SEO Phrase In The Page Titleseo Report Card, seo blog, make money with a blog

One of the most important places to put keywords is the Title. Also make sure the title is readable. That just means make sure it is readable.

Also, keeping your title tag to no more then 10 words works best.

All of the major spider-based search engines use title-tag content to determine relevancy.

Use SEO Phrase At Top, Middle, End Of Your Content

Using your keywords in your first sentence and in the middle and at the end of your content works best to get noticed by the search engines.

All of the major search engines use text-based body content to determine relevancy.

Use SEO Phrase At Least Once In Your Tags

Very few search engines use meta-tag content to determine relevancy. If you have good keyword filled content, then using your seo phrase in your tags not that important, but still helps, and I do this for all posts.

Another benefit to seo phrase in your tags is that many database-driven sites have a search function, so if visitors type in keywords into a site’s search, the results should be accurate.

Yahoo is the only major search engine currently, that uses the meta-keywords tag to determine relevancy.

Ok Now What Does All This Mean

Bottom line is to use your seo phrase in your title, use it no more then 2-3 in a small post and no more then 4-5 in a long post, and use your seo phrase in your tags at least once.

This is the best way to optimize your seo blog and to not get the Google slap for being a keyword stuffing spammer.

Make Money With A Blog

The old way to make money with a blog was to sell ad space, and for some bloggers like John Chow this is possible.

But for the rest of the bloggers out there this may never be the case for you. Since to sell ad space you will need A LOT of traffic, and have that traffic be consistent.

Is it possible? Of course it is, but so is me winning the Megabucks lol but the chance of that happening are slim.

How Can You Make Money With Your Blog?make money with a blog, blog money, make money blogging, make money every day

•    You need good quality content, that helps people with issues they have.

•    Be personable, be trustworthy, build relationships with your readers.

•    Most important, you need to think like a Internet Marketer.

Now when I say think like a IM that doesn’t mean put out crappy products once a month or annoy people with a million emails a week,  instead do some of what a IM’r does.

Build Your Email List

This means offer something free that has value and ask for their email, that way you can control what and when you can email your reader  thru “in a nice way” new updates and offers. I recommend Aweber for this.

Sell Your Own Product

The best way to be a authoriy in your niche is to sell your own product, or service, it is also the best way to make real money with your blog.

Ask For The Sale

Ok so your not a salesman?  That’s ok the best part of having a blog is that asking for the sale is pretty painless if…

If you have been offering quality content that helps people, your building relationships with your readers and your being real and trustworthy.

By the time you ask for the sale, most of your readers will be smiling with their card out ready to buy :)

There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money with your blog, and if you follow these few simple steps and think a little bit like a internet marketer you will have no problem succeeding.

Make Money Blogging Secret Revealed

This week I read a few posts talking about success with making money with a blog.

I watched Gary Vaynerchuk’s Super short video The Secret 2.0 Watch this video to see what the Secret is going.

So…I  Wanted To Share My Perspective

The only difference between my small success so far, and the success of people like Gary and David and people that fail is… Make sure your sitting down for this :) make money blogging, make money with a blog, blog tips

BIG secret is..You Have To Work Hard and Work Hard Everyday!”

Yes I know not ground breaking, but people waste so much time looking for the magic bullet to building a successful blog, and want to know why and how the top bloggers became so successful.

Some have been very lucky to, but the best way to get lucky is to work hard, harder you work, the more opportunities will come your way, Think Law of Attraction.

Work Hard and Work It Hard Everyday

I promise you that every one of them worked their ass off in the beginning to be at the level they are at now.

Now for me, people ask me how much time do I need to spend on social sites, on twitter, on writing articles, on making videos etc..

I always tell them, in the beginning you need to be doing a little bit of everything every day, and put as much time into it as you can.

If I am online, then I am on Twitter, I am on Facebook, I am on Friendfeed, I am on my blog tweaking it, I am reading posts from top bloggers, I am always learning something new each day.

The more time you spend in the beginning of setting up your blog or your online business the less time you will need to spend on it in the future.

Build Your Business Like A Rocket Launch

Think of it like a rocket, a rocket waste like 50% of it’s fuel just on the take off, once it builds that momentum, it takes much less fuel to keep the rocket moving.

So in the beginning you will be spending a lot of time building and promoting your business to launch it, once you are up and running you can just continue with what you have already done.

That’s it! That’s the REAL secret to you making money with a blog..

Work Hard, Work Everyday, Keep It Going!

What do you think?  What do you do to succeed?

Blog Tips To Keep Your Readers Stuck

The best way is to keep readers stuck to your site is to provide people with good quality information and be helpful. Blogging has become one of the best tools for people that are trying to make money with a blog. Blogs that have crappy content, will have a very hard time keeping readers on their site, and monetizing that blog. blog traffic, make money blogging, blog tips

Here are some ways to write quality posts and keep readers stuck to your blog like jelly on  your fingers! :)

Keep Your Blog Posts Short and Sweet… When You Can

Ok I have trouble with this myself. But I think that if you have good content, it is ok to run a little longer.

But try to keep your posts straight to the point, since shorter posts normally have the best chance to keep readers stuck to your blog. Many people that read blogs are not looking for long run on posts, so keep it simple and move on.

Think Like Your Readers When You Write Your Post

You should be doing research within your niche, read what other bloggers are writing about, read what is in the headlines. Keep your posts targeted at your niche, this way you have the best chance for more visitors and keeping them coming back.

Write Like Your Having A One On One Conversation

You should be writing to your readers as if you were having a one on one conversation. Stay away from big complex words, keep the flow going.  Try talking to yourself as you write, sounds crazy but it has helped me :)

Keep Visitors Stuck With A Good Blog Design

Stay away from to much movement, colors. A nice clean easy to navigate blog makes people want to stay longer if things are easy to find. I like a good design helps stand you out of the bazillion blogs out there and makes branding yourself easier.

Promote Links To Other Parts Of Your Blog

Always offer your visitors a place to go after they read a post. Link to related posts, products, services and other useful resources, including your own social media sites.

This is just a few steps to keeping visitors stuck to your blog.

What do you think? Do you have any tips to share?
