SEO is your friend. For any one who is unfamiliar with the letters it stands for Search Engine Optimization. If used properly it can help you get your page higher on search engine results. Which includes sites like Google, which pretty much everyone uses. And that is kinda of a big audience. This matters for your blog, if It is on steemit or another site. So how do you help get your write your post to be SEO friendly.
Think Like The Person Searching When You Write Your Title
When your title matches what people are searching it has a higher chance of showing up. You want to test it, type in the title of this blog in Google. Go ahead, I can wait. You will have to type the whole thing as SEO is a pretty popular topic with a lot of competition. What did you find? Hopefully you found this blog on the first page, or I will have to rewrite this advice :p. I will search it myself after I post this. Now no one is looking up this exact title and like I said, SEO is a popular topic so just adding SEO to your title will probably not be enough. But this will put it ahead of other posts about SEO that don't have it in their title. And it will give you an edge if any one types "how to write seo". Now if you do this for more niche topics, where competition is less, you might even make it to the first page.
So what should your title say? The key is to think like the person who is searching for something. When you search for something, what words do you use? If you are looking for advice on SEO, what do you type? Is it how to use SEO? SEO tips? SEO tricks? What is SEO? The wording matters. If you write your title to include the wording that the person searches, you give yourself an edge. Look at this title. I use 'how to'. Now don't be dishonest and throw words in just to get searches. You don't want to mislead people. But you can write a title that tells people what your post is about and help it to make it up the search engine pages.
