10 ways to improve your blog’s SEO

1. Concentrate on the key factors
   Don´t waste your time working on every little tweak you read about somewhere. Check your blog on the key factors of Google optimization and you are done with 95% of the whole thing.
   
   
2. Get rid of all that waste
   You want search engines to index your content? Then give them content, get rid of everything unnecessary and declutter your blog.
   
   
3. Dump your duplicate content
   Especially when using WordPress, you might have a problem with having the same content available under different URLs. Don´t confuse the search engines and get rid of your duplicate content now.
   
   
4. Give Google a map of your site
   Google knows everything, right? Do they? Move on to the safe harbor and provide them with a sitemap of your blog so they won´t miss a single page.
   
   
5. Do you know, what ?p=138 means?
   Can you guess, what that page might be about? This one is easy when you are using WordPress, just a few clicks are needed to optimize your permalink structure.
   
   
6. The <title>-tag is important
   Does it say something like myblog.tld on each and every page of your site? Your content is different every time, and so should your page title. Improve your page titles to be relevant to the content.
   
   
7. Get links, get links, get links
   You can start with some free links before you get to the real work. Here are 11 ways to build links to your blog.
   
   
8. Create something viral
   This one works without your hands on needed. You just have to set it up and watch your inbound links coming in. For me the viral recommendation carousel worked very well. Give it a try, it´s never too late to have your own.
   
   
9. Link back to you
   When writing a new post, try to find an older post which is relevant to the new one and put a link to it and get your readers deeper into your blog. Growing up an internal linking structure is what I´ve done in this post. Hey - it works.
