This is a guest post from Monik of Etiole. Monik is a 13 year old kid blogger from India. You can subscribe to his blog to receive the latest updates.

As Google hasearch engine optimizations been dominating the internet from a long time, most of us will first think of targeting it to get some good traffic but, everyone doesn’t succeed to get the number one position out there. But I know people who have reached there and I have asked them few simple questions and now after having the answers, I am discussing them with you.

  • As Google reads your sites Meta Tag (it’s somewhere after the head tag), it’s always good to add some keywords which actually describes your blog. (at least one keyword will do)
  • Next comes the text. When you create a title for your post, be sure to include the main keywords in the text and also make sure that it is making use of the headline tags.
  • You should have at least one link from your blog to your blog itself & the link text should contain some keywords.
  • Whenever you add an image be sure to add a ALT tag with a short description about the picture. Here also you need to include the keywords. For e.g., - <img src=”image” alt=”the keyword”>
  • Submitting your posts to social media sites like Digg, reddit can also help your posts to get indexed much faster.

These kinds of simple tricks can help your website to reach no.1 position but, all this won’t happen if you don’t have quality content.I have also written few other posts on how to increase traffic.

Write Posts on what you love and not what the world is talking about. Write posts which can  express your thoughts and they should not be more than 40-50 lines, as the readers will start getting bored if it becomes lengthy. This will help you to bring some really good traffic, believe me, I have experienced it.

    Great tips, and they really work, I do this on my blog all the time and those posts bring in tons of SE traffic, many times people just add titles without thinking about KW optimization and this should be standard practice.
    Thanks,

    Good tips. Had I started blogging when I was 13, I think I’d be sipping a cocktail on a private beach today…….. :) Best wishes to Monik.

    Hi Monik, really nice collection of tips. Then i don’t know how you missed one great tip about Backlinks.

    I made a site to achieve in #1 Place on Google for a Keyword just by linking it on few sites with the Keyword as the Link word. :)

    Prasanna it great tips but I think forget one simple things, just like what Priyan said; you forget to mention about backlinks. It sound simple, but it’s hard to find a good and related backlink. Once we can find related backlink, usually this can help us much.

    Don’t forget writing your posts for the humans too not just the search engines. Your readers are the one who decide if they should come for a second visit so make sure you think of them too. Stuff like font size, your writing style, graphics are just a few things to focus on too.

    Priyan
    Are you suggesting, say for example, a post on Digg or Propeller pointing to a project, such as a home improvement video on a site like MetaCafe, and a link from MetaCafe back to your Blog? The RSS feed from the MetaCafe site could be submitted to directories for even more traffic.

    When add an image be sure to close the tag />, to make sure your page valid. And add height & width of the image, I think is good too

    Digg is so challenging because it never seems to give me the response I want. If only people would digg my posts :).
