The biggest reason to optimize your blog is the fact that it helps us gain thousands and thousands of free visitors through the browsers Google, Bing and Yahoo.
That’s how one of my blogs looks:

Free visitors every month.
We all know that online visitors are what brings us the money so we have to focus on that.
How:
Optimizing your blog is pretty simple. The most important thing is that we have some previous knowledge that we use to our advantage when setting up a blog.
All that you’ll learn today is some advanced knowledge I learned from an expert in website optimization. I paid 80 dollars for a 2-hour support lesson.
However, the investment was worth it as it helped me fully optimize my website.
So let’s start!
Step one:
If you want your blog to be optimized well you have to buy a relevant domain.
If your blog talks about weight loss you surely can’t base your blog on a non-relevant domain like for example hikingandfreshair.com.
In this case, you have to choose a domain name like readyforweightloss.com or something similar.
Step two:
Once we start building our blog we have to add some interesting articles that have to focus on one theme.
So if our blog talks about weight loss, the articles have to focus on this theme.
Step three:
All of the articles posted on our blog have to be unique. We can use a tool called Plagiarism checker to check if they are truly unique.
Step four:
All of the articles posted on our blog have to include certain keywords that can be found by using the tool Google Keyword planner.
Step five:
If we want to use browsers to attract visitors to our articles we have to choose at least one keyword for each article.
If we choose the keyword “how to lose weight in 2 weeks,” we have to also use it in the article title.
Then we have to use the chosen keyword in the article itself. We have to pay attention to the fact that it seems completely natural and not forced at all.
We also have to make sure we don’t exaggerate it – the chosen keyword shouldn’t present more than 2% of the entire article.
Step six:
For good blog optimization it is good to use the Plugin SEO Yoast. By using the plugin we get exact information on what we have to do to make our article even more optimized.
On the picture below you can see what the plugin SEO Yoast suggests:

Step seven:
Optimization is also influenced by the speed of our blog. If we want the visitors to stay on our blog longer we have to make sure it works smoothly and undisturbed.
We can speed up our blog by using the plugin WP Fastest Cache. Information on how to use this plugin can be found in the link above.
Besides the Plugin WP Fastest Cache you can also speed your blog up by adding smaller pictures that take up less space.
You can check the speed of your blog on the website: https://tools.pingdom.com/.
Step eight:
A shorter permalink. I suggest your permalink is as short as possible. It is even better if we just use the chosen keyword.
More on how to use a permalink can be seen in the picture below:
Step nine:
It is good if we make our blog mobile device compatible as more and more people use solely mobile phones to browse online.
We can use the following website to check if our website is compatible with mobile devices: https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly .
If that is not the case I suggest that you change your WordPress theme and re-test your website.
Step ten:
For a good spot in the browsers we also have to create return links. If we want as many people as possible to reach our articles we have to make it visible on top of the search results at it is a known fact people usually just look at the top results.
So if we want our website to be posted on top we have to do the following things:
1.We have to write a high quality article that features some good information.
2.We have to choose an attractive article title. People will read articles that have a good title more often.
3.We have to focus our article on a chosen keyword through which we want to attract online visitors.
4.We have to use the same chosen keyword in the article title, but it has to be done in a natural manner. It should be used completely naturally but shouldn’t take up more than 2% of the combined content.
5.After our article is posted we have to gain some links. We should post the link to our website on some other pages.
6.Getting links shouldn’t be done in a fast way. If our blog is new we should create no more than 3 links every week.
7.Links should be done on relevant websites or articles. We can post the links on: social media, forums, in comment sections, other websites like: blogger.com, weebly.com and tumblr.com.
8.All of the links should also have an appropriate anchor text. Anchor text is the text we click on and shouldn’t be the same on all pages.
Sometimes we have to use the url as anchor text while other times we can just use a word: click here or a word: you can find more information here.
Also: For our anchor text, we have to choose and use the chosen keyword that we want to rank in the browser Google. (If our article focuses on the keyword “how to lose weight,” we have to use it in our anchor text two to three times).
That are some basics that we need to know when optimizing our blog.
If we know how to use them in practice they will surely reward us with online visitors.
One of my blogs that focuses on fitness gets around 12,000 free visitors every month just through the browser Google.
To earn with such blog all we have to do now is monetize it. (Which requires some more time). We have to add relevant ads to our blog and maybe create email marketing. If everything is then built in the way it has to be people will surely come to our blog.
And that is the path of bloggers, which is hard but rewarding in the end. If you persist you can surely achieve what you want!
