Reviewing your blog post for SEO

Reviewing your Blog Post for SEO

Your blog post once written and published should be reviewed again and again for site engine optimization. It is not always possible to write a blog article and to see all the aspects of SEO at the same time. So, most of the time, just after writing the blog article, we publish it.

You may have written a blog article earnestly and passionately. But if it does not receive the traffic, and if your blog article is not read by visitors, the whole purpose of blogging will not be served and you will feel despondent. You will lose all the enthusiasm, which ultimately may result in your giving up blogging altogether.

Only good writing and knowledge of a subject matter would not suffice while writing blog article. Blogging is an art in itself and you will have to hone it. There are many technical points and rules to be followed. There are many tricks of the trade to drive the readers to your blog post, which you should adopt.

SEO, or site engine optimization procedures should be studied and applied. These things take time to absorb and you will have to experiment on all the elements of seo. I had tried to explain many of them under my "seo training" category of blog posts.

Therefore, reviewing your old blog posts is a must. Each time you review them, you will be able to make it better.

There are many things which needs to be done during the review process. Before the review, make a note of the number of hits your blog post was getting. After reviews and republishing a blog post, you will have to notice whether the blog post is doing better than before, as far as the number of visitors are concerned.

Things to check during the review process.
