@Kyla Matton Osborne (Ruby3881) Hmmm…may be I find SEO intimidating because I have never really tried understanding it and using it while blogging. I understand that if I am serious about blogging then the sooner I get acquainted with SEO, the better!

@bestwriter There are a lot of factors that go into SEO. Quality of content (grammar, focus, depth and breadth of topic covered, length of the page, etc.) absolutely factors into search engine placement. Keywords do matter, but less so today than a few years ago. You should also know that bounce rate and dwell time on a page or site are measured by the search engines. They will penalize pages that mislead the reader with “false advertising” in the headline, preview, or meta tags. They will also lower the ranking for pages that get a lot of clicks that result in a bounce (the reader spent little time on the page and left the site after looking at the first page) or in “pogo sticking” (the reader clicked in, and almost immediately left the site.) So it’s not just about mental gymnastics and tricks. It’s about how the writer uses language, about the authority of the writer, and about the quality of the content and how it relates to what was promised in the headline and tags. There are over 200 different points that Google examines when determining how a particular page will rank in search results. It’s very complex, and someone like me can get a few things right without having a very very complete understanding or the ability to influence the results in certain areas. My feeling is that we have to start somewhere. So I work on headlines and images, on writing focused content that uses keywords appropriately, and on trying to provide texts that readers will both be able to find and think useful. I am just a baby when it comes to SEO. But I am happy to share what I know so far 🙂 |

@ruby3881 I do not think you know very little. You know a lot about SEO. So it is not just your long posts but taking care of all those factors that get your blog a prominent place that earns for you. |

Have you tried adding anchor texts/backlinks to your articles? As you said so, you used keywords and highlighted them in bold font to help with SEO but have you thought of backlinking to a higher rated URL to help with ranking? |

@cessy08 I wonder if anyone is doing it here. Do you do it? It actually is a good idea but I want to survive on my own steam 😀 |
|
|
I tried doing it on one of my posts (after earning just $0.08 for some of my earlier submitted articles) and noticed it helped me to earn $0.22 for each. 🙂 I don’t know if it will guarantee but that was the “trend” I noticed with mine. |
|
|
@cessy08 Are you sure it was because of the back link or the length of the post. I am really interested to know as posting a back link is not difficult at all. |
|
|
Well, it was just an observation since I never wrote anything below 500 words but I had one article without backlinks that got me only $0.08! Only after I tried putting in backlinks in ALL my articles, that’s when I noticed I earn at least $0.18 and mostly $0.22 each. I submitted two sets of articles today again both with 500++ words and with backlinks. I’ll see how much I’ll earn for those 🙂 But if it’s not difficult to do (as you said), why not give it a shot on a personal post and see what will happen? |

@bestwriter Don’t tell me, I have a first hand experience recently, it was a perfect 5 cents for me here but I have no complaints 🙂 http://172.104.9.193/nice-time-together-reminder-past/ |

@cessy08 Linking to a respected site helps to improve SEO. You get even better results if a respected site links to your posts. It can help to add links in the posts for references, and also to bring your post to the attention of any respected web sites that might link back to your content. |
|
|
oh thanks, so I need to put in backlinks related to myposts. I will try that and see how my 500 words post earn for today. Thanks a lot guys and gals |

I also think that making a post that is about questions and answers does not get you any points or even your blog posted on LB. NO MEME post it seems. Mine was denied. |
|

@peachpurple Linking to your sources or to respected sites that illustrate your points is always a good idea. I try to link to 2 sites per post (for posts about 500-700 words.) The backlinks are created when you share your links on social media, publish on other sites and link back to the posts here, or have the good fortune to have a respected site link to your content.
@oksummer I think most writing sites want to avoid personal/social posts like memes. They’re generally very poor performers and tend to make the site look less professional. |
|
|
@cessy08 I will add a back link to my next blog and shall wait to see what it does to my earnings 🙂 |
|
|
@suny It’s off cial then. Personal blogs do not impress LB!! How about adding a back link of one of my personal blogs to your next personal blog 😀 |
