It has been painstakingly write an article on the blog but have not been able to appear as well in the search engines. Already struggling to hunt backlinks but not yet entered page 1? Maybe the problem is in the on-page SEO your web page.

For who do not understand, I explain a little about the on-page SEO. In general, #SEO divided into two, namely on-page and off-page. Off-page SEO means we optimize outside our own website for example by looking for backlinks.

SEO on-page is the opposite of off-page, we optimize from within our own website. Many people often forget about the on-page SEO factors blog. As a result, any links that are built, the website has not yet entered page # 1 of Google.

For those of you who experienced this, please check back the articles on your blog based on the 7 following list.

1. Title Page and Title Pages

The page title is one of the primary key of the on-page SEO. Usually when we do a search on Google, the title of the page is displayed with a large size blue. This shows the importance of the title page.

Usually the same page title with the title of the article. But for WordPress users, the title page with the title of the article can be distinguished with the help of WordPress SEO plugin or All-in-one SEO Pack.

Differentiating the title page with the title of the article can sometimes help of SEO because we can optimize page titles with specific keywords without changing the title of the article in order to remain readable.


2. Meta Description

Meta description that some words or phrases that appear under the title of the page in Google search results. With SEO plugin I mentioned above, we can change the meta description for each article so that we can target the keywords we want.

In addition to the benefit of SEO, writing good meta description can also help people who do search on search engines. By writing the meta description, Google users will be able to read the important points of our web page in search engines.

3. URL

Make sure the keywords we are targeting also appears in the URL and no typographical errors. For WordPress users, the format of the URL can be set via the Settings menu> Permalink. In addition, the URL can also be changed manually every time we edit the article. Untukkepentingan SEO, URL shorter the better.

4. Content Optimization

Three factors above each important for SEO support, but the most important is the content. There are two main types of errors of content optimization. The first is less optimized, the latter actually excessive optimization.

For the first error, lack of optimization, usually there are several causes. For example, the article is too short so it is not considered important by #Google. Good article usually has 500 words, minimum. In addition, our article may not contain targeted keywords.

The second error, terlalubanyakoptimasi, often carried out by Indonesian bloggers. The most frequent use is mostly targeted keywords. So many, to the extent that the article is not good anymore to read because the sentences imposed. Coupled with the 'trimmings' such as bold, italic, and understrike.

If we look back at the years 2009-2010, excessive optimization like this may still be positive. But given Google's increasingly sophisticated algorithm, excessive optimization it will degrade the quality of the website.

As I wrote on my website, which is a good article written by humans for humans, not search engines. In addition to SEO, article writing is good and true also of course have a positive impact on readers.
5. Images and Other Media

Much debate about the image, whether influential for SEO or not. Clearly, images and other media such as video is quite important for a blog that is not monotonous.

As well as articles, images can also be optimized redundant. For example, by using the keyword as the title of an alternative image + tag. To be safe, give it a title in accordance with the drawings and the use of alternative tags to describe briefly image.

6. Internal links

Internal links can help structure the website to make it more SEO friendly. What is meant by the internal links are the links between each of the relevant article in a website. For example, in the article A we discuss a bit about the article B. Give the link of the article A to article B, something like this could have a positive impact on SEO.

Avoid doing internal link if the article is not relevant at all, do it naturally. Do not also put a link to the same page. Besides useless, can also interfere with the reader. Features 'categories' and 'tags' on the WordPress platform should also be used to build a solid structure of the blog.
