First Page on Your Next Blog Post
Your next blog post can be on the first page of Google.
Recent Google changes have made it easier than ever for fresh content to rank higher the search results. Following a proven formula makes it simple.
This is a step by step guide to publishing an optimized blog post, using the keyword phrase “increase web site traffic”. This will result in higher search rankings for your keyword.
The goal is to format the post in the best way for the search engines to read it easily. The correct placement and emphasis of your keyword in your blog post is called on page optimization. When your post is presented to the search engines in this manner, they will view it as having higher authority and will place it higher in the search results for your keyword phrase.
1) Choose only one of your keyword phrases to use. This phase will be emphasized throughout the post.
2) Choose a short title which includes your keyword phrase: “Increase Web Site Traffic”.
3) Write a blog post of around 500 words. Write naturally and include your keyword phrase approximately 2-3 times in your post.
4) Break the post into 3 subsections. Use HTML Heading Tags to emphasize the title of each section like this:
<H1>Who Needs to Increase Web Site Traffic?<H1>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum eget dictum nunc. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Curabitur id sodales nunc. Ut sagittis dolor sit amet dolor molestie et pulvinar leo ullamcorper. Proin non tortor sed sem pretium dapibus a quis eros. Sed in velit in felis iaculis euismod et quis dolor. Praesent aliquam sem tellus. Sed sit amet consequat nunc. Etiam lacinia, mauris eget viverra varius, urna libero venenatis nibh, et placerat enim tellus vitae massa.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum eget dictum nunc. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Curabitur id sodales nunc. Ut sagittis dolor sit amet dolor molestie et pulvinar leo ullamcorper. Proin non tortor sed sem pretium dapibus a quis eros. Sed in velit in felis iaculis euismod et quis dolor. Praesent aliquam sem tellus. Sed sit amet consequat nunc. Etiam lacinia, mauris eget viverra varius, urna libero venenatis nibh, et placerat enim tellus vitae massa.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum eget dictum nunc. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Curabitur id sodales nunc. Ut sagittis dolor sit amet dolor molestie et pulvinar leo ullamcorper. Proin non tortor sed sem pretium dapibus a quis eros. Sed in velit in felis iaculis euismod et quis dolor. Praesent aliquam sem tellus. Sed sit amet consequat nunc. Etiam lacinia, mauris eget viverra varius, urna libero venenatis nibh, et placerat enim tellus vitae massa.
5) Use the keyword phrase in the last sentence like this: These are the benefits when you increase web site traffic.
6) Bold, underline and italicize the keyword phrase once each in the post.
7) Attach an image to the post and name it “increase web site traffic”.
And finally, make sure to include a link to another one of your posts in your text.
Useful Plugins
The following WordPress plugins help make the optimization process easier.
TinyMCE Advanced extends the text styling features of the WordPress console. Using it allows text styling for human readers without the use of <H1><H2><H3> tags. Only your keywords should be styled by <H> tags.
SEOPressor rates your post optimization from 0 – 100% and shows your progress in structuring the items above. We use this plugin to regularly rank on the first page of Google search results for ourselves and our clients.
Conclusion
When you publish your unique content this way, you will gain more targeted traffic to your site and add more buyers to your Email marketing list. And don’t forget to include a Call to Action - that next step you would like your prospect to take.

This is really a great post Michael.
I use these tactics on my articles but I have yet to use them on my posts. I guess because I just start writing about what I learn and I don’t even think about the search engines when it comes to that particular topic. But I’m also not selling anything either but that’s all fixing to change.
I actually purchased a course a month back to help me in this area but then a friend passed away and I got very sidetracked. I’m fixing to write my next post around keywords so please do wish me luck with accomplishing this. I need to take it up a notch and actually start ranking for my blog posts too.
Great post and great information. I’ll definitely be sharing this one.

Informative article. I found your blog via The Sales Lion. I tend to use a similar template for laying out by blog posts (with are specific to basement waterproofing). Although I primarily use H3 tags.
Take care.

I had thought it would be too spammy to have those words throughout so many times but with 500 words it seems like it would work. And I see you use the different sizes titles. Worth a try. Thanks for sharing this tip.
Hi Lisa – Using your keyword with emphasis 5-6 times throughout a 500 word post seems to be the right balance for both the search bots and for natural reading. Thanks for the visit!
