If we interested in building high traffic to our blog should pay particular attention to search engine optimization techniques to improve the search engine rankings of our blogs. Search engines use some type of ranking algorithm which is used to determine the order in which websites are returned when an someone searches for information on a particular topic.
There are a few tips though which can be useful with most search engines. These tips include using relevant keywords, generating back links to your blogs and using image tags in a beneficial way.
Keyword Rich Content
Using relevant keywords in blog posts is one of the simplest ways to optimize search engine rankings. For the example of a blog pertaining to gardening the blogger may want to use additional keywords such as container gardening or home gardening to attract more interest from search engine users. Some Bloggers believe using keywords at lower densities of 1%-3% and paying attention to placement of the keywords is the most worthwhile strategy.

Off site SEO techniques are as the name suggests factors from outside the site itself (ie from other sites) that impact the blog’s ranking in search engines. Many of these factors are outside the blogger’s control – however they are useful to know. The most obvious and probably most powerful offsite factor are Inbound Links (something I’ve already referred to above).
