10 Types of Blog Posts to Help You Create New Content

I’m sure you know by now that to increase SEO, blogs are essential. In terms of duplicate content SEO, efforts can be thwarted if Google picks up on identical content, even across different URLs.

Here are 10 common types of seo blog posts to get your creative juices flowing. Blog posts generally fall into one of these categories:



1. How To:

People searching the Web often want to know how to do something. Tutorials are great traffic-drivers, and they provide readers with valuable information. Videos can also provide great tutorials, but if you choose that route remember to include a transcript for SEO purposes.

2. Lists:

You may have noticed that this is a list post. Lists are popular, as potential readers can tell from the blog titles that information will be broken down in an easily digestible form. In a list post you can quickly scan the content to see if it’s relevant to you. Not every reader will linger long enough to carefully read your post, but list posts are easily shared and frequently clicked on.

3. News:

Timely information makes great content. There are benefits to evergreen content, but there are also benefits to time-sensitive posts. Posting a timely response to an issue could get you hits as users search Google for breaking news. You could write a press release on a new product or service your company is offering. You could write an anniversary post to celebrate your business’s first or fifth year. Or you could write a piece on a newsworthy event in your industry.

4. Product or Service Review:

You may have experienced exceptional customer service somewhere. Or you may have purchased a product that exceeded your expectations. When a product or service has wowed you, it may be worthy of an entire post of its own. Make sure the product or service you review is relevant to your business. You also should try to be honest; don’t review a product you haven’t tried just because it’s popular. Speak honestly and write from first-hand experience. If your post is sponsored, say so. Readers like honesty and openness.

5. Series:

You may have a great idea for a topic, but once you delve deeper you realize that the topic is vast. Break up that information into a series of related posts. We’ve done this at Master Google. Vonya Griffin wrote a great two-part series called Building a Site Google Loves. The topic was too much information to fit neatly in one post, but it makes a great two-parter.

6. Interviews:

Interviews are fantastic for sparking debate in your industry. Outline a few questions your readers would like to see answered, and then brainstorm a good interview subject. The Q and A format is pleasing for readers.

7. Guest Blog Post:

Ask a colleague or peer to write a guest post for your blog. Not only will you gain a fresh voice on your blog, the links from your guest seo blogger‘s original site will help your site climb the Google first page of search results.

Rand Fishkin, CEO of SEOmoz, gives great tips on how to jumpstart a guest blog post – just scroll down to #10.

“Find sites that have a relevant audience – it sucks to pour your time into writing a post, only to see it fizzle because the readers weren’t interested,” Fishkin says. “Spend a bit more time researching the posts that succeed on your target site, the makeup of the audience, what types of comments they leave and you’ll earn a much higher return with each post.”

He also suggests pitching a specific topic to your potential guest blogger. If you’re the guest blogger, then pitching is easier if the hosting blogger can read over your unpublished piece before agreeing to a guest post.

8. Contests:

I read a few blogs faithfully, and I’ve seen a trend of giveaways. Bloggers will detail certain rules for entry, usually as simple as posting a comment on the blog post or sharing it on specific social media outlets. This is a great way to create an active community and have your loyal readers share your post with all of their virtual friends.

9. Controversial Posts:

Posting about a controversial subject may get you an influx of clicks, but you also run the risk of alienating readers who disagree with your post. Don’t write a post for shock value thinking you’ll gain thousands of clicks. Instead, write about an issue that means something to you or your business. Back your stance up with facts, not exaggerations and emotions.

10. Editorial/Personal Anecdote:

Your SEO efforts are for Google. Your keywords and metadata are in place for your blog post. But your content should be for your reader. Readers like a good story. Master Google CEO Ali Husayni wrote a recent post on starting his first business at 16 years old.

“I ended up making the equivalent of $16 and I managed to purchase a pair of jeans for myself,” Husayni writes. “That will always be remembered by me as the best business experience of my life, no matter how much I go on to achieve.”

This statement immediately makes me think of my first job, my first paycheck. I’m able to connect to the writer’s memory with a personal memory of my own. Your readers will enjoy a good, interesting story.

These aren’t the only types of content you can produce, but this should give you a good start for brainstorming for your future blog posts.

So once you choose a topic, write the blog post, publish it, and share it across your social media outlets, you’ll want to monitor it’s popularity. Use Google Analytics to see how your new content drives traffic. Take note of which types of post gain the highest traffic – this will clue you in on what your audience likes.

How To Attract Customers Online By Being Hyper?



Are You Hyper?

Are you hyper? Hyper local that is. If you are using what is known as hyper local content, then you have seen the benefits and probably already know what I’m referring to. If you haven’t, then read on for more info and tips about how to attract customers and clients to your business, by creating hyper local content.

What is Hyper Local Content?

So, what is hyper local content? Hyper local content is the use of keywords and key phrases that include a city and/or neighborhood name. Hyper local content can be used on a blog, website, social media sites, in a real estate or business listing, etc… and is important, because consumers often try to narrow down their search results, when searching for a product, service or business online.

How Does Hyper Local Content Help You Get Business?

Business owners often ask, “how does hyper local content help me get more business? Isn’t any type of content good enough to bring in business?”. The answer is “yes”, and “no”. We all know that when a consumer is searching, as you and I often do, they type in keywords or key phrases to find what they’re looking for. However, statistics show that the more specific the search, the closer to a buying decision they are. Another reason that hyper local content is superior is because it helps you target consumers that are in your area, who can become paying customers. Lets face it, it’s a terrible waste of time for a local business owner to create content that may only be seen by people in other states and countries.

An Example of Hyper Local Content

Let’s say, for example, that a consumer is searching for homes. They will typically start by looking in a particular county or several cities of interest (ie: Orange County, CA real estate or Yorba Linda, CA homes for sale or Anaheim Hills, CA homes for sale). The buyer will then begin to narrow it down to a specific city that they have come to like, based on their initial search results. Then, as they search for real estate within that city, they will most certainly determine that they prefer certain neighborhoods or areas of the city more than others (ie: Yorba Linda homes for sale in Hidden Hills or Homes for sale in Eastlake Village Yorba Linda). When a buyer has decided on a specific neighborhood or part of town, they are ready to make a purchase any day. If you are the real estate agent that has written content with those hyper local string of words, you will be found ahead of others that are not using this strategy and you will establish yourself as the “expert” for that area.

Any Business Can Benefit From, And Use, Hyper Local Content

So what if you’re not a real estate salesperson? Will hyper local content still work for you and how can you use it to write content for your specific type of business? Yes, any business can use hyper local content to drive sales and attract customers or clients online, even non traditional businesses, such as network marketing. How you use it will be determined by considering who your target audience is, what they might be likely to type into a search engine, and how you can capture their attention with something that relates to your specific industry or business.

SEO Search Engine Optimization Tips - How To Rank On Page One For Your Keyword Phrases

Page one SEO (search engine optimization) rank has been a mystery and a challenge since I came online several years ago. First you must learn about keywords, then you need to know how to use these keywords optimally on your site, and finally you must be able to stay on page one for your words and phrases on a regular basis. Let's take a look at how you can get started with this marketing strategy quickly and easily, without having to hire someone to do this for you.

Keywords are best described as the words and phrases people use when they search on the Internet to find what you have to offer. For example, if someone is looking for a way to housebreak their new puppy they may type something into the search engine such as how to housebreak a puppy or dog housebreaking tips. If this is an area where you are working online, you would want that person to be able to find your site in the free, also referred to as the organic, results when they are searching for a solution to their problem.

Keyword phrases may be one or two words long, but are most typically three to seven words. It seems like the more words in the phrase the more likely it is that someone is ready to make a purchase. If someone types in real estate they may just be looking, but if they search for three bedroom condo in Orlando they are most likely ready to buy. I hope this makes sense.

When you post to your blog these keyword phrases must appear naturally. Do not attempt to add them multiple times or your site will be penalized for doing what is called keyword stuffing. Instead, write about your topic in a natural and conversational way for the best results.

This is a process that you must stay on top of over time, meaning that you can't just write a few keyword optimized posts and forget about it. Make a schedule of how often you will post to your blog, which words and phrases you wish to rank for, and then write quality, original content that will help the search engines when it comes to giving you a search engine rank on the first or second page of the results. Doing this steadily over time will build your business and help to position you as an expert and a problem solver in your niche.

SEO Writing Tips - 5 Techniques to Write Compelling Search Engine-Friendly Articles

SEO writing is one of the most important components of internet marketing. Right now, it's considered the most effective tool in getting the attention of online users who are using the internet for their research. Aside from good content, using keyword and optimizing your articles and web content is also equally important. The goal in making your content search engine-friendly is to ensure that your target audience will not have a hard time finding you in the online arena.

Here are the 5 compelling SEO writing tips to keep in mind to get amazing results:

1) Try your hardest to create attention-grabbing, keyword-rich titles:
Keep in mind that the first thing that your target audience will see is your title. This could be your first and only chance to capture their attention. So, ensure that your titles are extremely catchy. It will help to insert the keywords that you're targeting. If possible, make them the first word of your titles. Studies show that articles are more likely to show up prominently on relevant listings if you follow this technique.

2) Choose your topics:
Think of your readers when deciding on the topics that you're going to discuss. It's very important to make sure that you'll be able to interest them otherwise, they will not pay attention to your copies. Write about their problems or offer them with tips and techniques on how they can reach their goals or how to do things by themselves. These are the types of topics that can easily grab online users by the throat.

3) Identify and list down the keywords to use:
Before you start writing your articles, it will help if you list down the popular keywords that are related to your chosen topics. Don't forget to look for their synonyms or terms that carry the same meaning. You'll find these useful in making sure that your articles will not sound redundant. As much as possible, target those long-tail keywords or those that are composed of 3 or more words. These will help you in securing better ranking for your articles.

4) Do your best to give your readers nice, informative content:
Don't put the search engines on top of your priority list when putting your content together. Focus first on giving your readers high quality articles so you can impress them. Offer as much information as possible in a very easy to understand manner. Keep your articles short and to the point. Make them entertaining by inserting stories and by using conversational tone.

5) Use keywords:
Don't just sprinkle your keywords but place them on strategic locations where search spiders can easily see them. The best places are your titles, the first and last sentence of your article, and on each of your paragraphs. It will help if you make these keywords at least 50-100 words apart. Also, don't use too many keywords as the acceptable keyword density is just 1-2% of your word count.

Achieve Your Goals With SEO Services India Provider

Achieve Your Goals
SEO or search engine optimization is instrumental in taking an online business to success. However, to reach towards those pedestals you have to take on the services of expert SEO services India. Make sure that you employ both on-page and off-page SEO techniques to make your online presence worthy and enjoy a great position online.

The array of services offered by SEO services India provider include keyword research, blog marketing, content management, press release, web directory, web design, link building and others.

Eventually, we all look for more business. And to achieve this, you have to work on a few things to make your optimization stratagem successful. Four indispensable goals of SEO that are the basis of online success can be enumerated as:

Page Indexation

Before linking your pages to obtain desired rank for your targeted keywords, do ensure that the search engines can not only find them, but also trace them. This proves that you have a well-built, search engine friendly website design. You do this by confirming that your links are well executable. The execution of your website must have an accurately established chain of commands, and your content should be easily understandable.

Page Ranks

Is this the main motto of your websites' search engine optimization? Truly speaking, No! While rankings are an important part of SEO, they are not the ultimate goal in themselves. Too many people rush behind rankings and think they are losing x amount of business of not being ranked No.1. This isn't true. In fact, it is crucial to understand that rankings do not enhance turnover; it just provide a means.

Website Traffic

As soon as your targeted keywords started showing the desired rankings, even for the few but significant keyword phrases, you may begin to observe that your visitor count will mount up very often. Yet again, this is dependable, but not the ultimate goal that we wanted to achieve unless you get paid on a cost per impression basis.

Conversion Rate

This is our decisive goal; the main purpose of search engine optimization for websites. This way, SEO is more than just helping you get rankings and attract traffic towards your website. It must help you to increase your conversion rates. A conversion depends on your own business objectives. It can be a comment on your blog, a download of a white paper, a follow on twitter, or a purchase of a product or anything else. It is crucial to be familiar with your conversions so that you can lay down your optimization goals to help attain them.

SEO Experts exercise the best practices for getting the highest possible search-engine rankings for your site. However, SEO results are not only measured on the basis of rankings alone, but also on the basis of visits/hits and conversion rates as well.
