Although my blog is nearing to break in to alexa top 100k web sites, I am still not getting considerable traffic from Google and other search engines. Average organic traffic is around 8% and they are coming from keywords I never targeted for.

I do not have time to write everyday to get social media attention. Desperate for some Google love, I searched all over Internet to get some solid tips on SEO. After going through dozens of articles on “blog SEO” and ” wordpress SEO“, I did the following changes in my blog.

1. I changed my blog Title.
Title is the phrase you see in the top of your browser when you open a web page. My title used to be ” Turning cats into lions. Your success starts here.” Although it is a catchy title it has nothing to do with my targeted key words. So I changed it to a new one which includes few of my targeted keywords. Now it says “Money making ideas and opportunities to help you get started“.

2. I made the post titles to be H1 tags.
Any SEO expert will say how important it is to use H1 tags in your titles. By default it was H2. So I changed it to H1 with the help of my friend Nadeesha at rockfuse dot com. When I changed it to H1 initially it gave me a very ugly looking title.

To change that ugly H1 layout, go to your style sheet and find something like this,

{style type=”text/css”>
[!--
H1 { color: blue; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px }
-->

Change the properties to give it the look you always wanted.

3. Bold keywords.
In individual posts, I made sure to include a keyword in the first few sentences and I made it bold. I did repeat the keywords 3-4 times throughout the entire post and also made them bold. And I did the same thing towards the end of the post.

4. Optimized images and alt tags.
I normally tend to write long posts. I don't write just for the sake of publishing another new post and increase my posting frequency. So I always use few images in my posts to give readers a break.

See this post about drop shipping for an example. I started renaming these images to keywords I am targeting for. And I also started using the "alt tag" to it's maximum potential. These little things are important in blog SEO. Google still cannot read images. So when they come across an image they look at the image name and the alt name. So these days, I am going back to old posts and doing these necessary changes.

[ad#ad-16]5. Using keyword anchor texts in my Internal links.

As bloggers, we tend to do lot of internal linking. They might be in the form of related posts or in the side bar or they might be links within the posts. When linking I started using keywords in Anchor texts.

For example, take a look at the previous paragraph. When I linked to a previous post without just using the “click here” phrase I used “drop shipping” as the anchor text. I learned that these all small tweaks add up in the final equation when it comes to best blog SEO practices.

6. I registered my domain for a lengthy period.
Google itself has mentioned that they are looking to the domain registration length when they are ranking web sites. There are too many web sites these days. Lot of them die within the first few months. If you register your domain for a lengthy period It gives an indication to Google that you are here for stay. Besides, it does not cost your more than $10 a year.

7. Solved the duplicate content issue in word press.
By default , word press and many other blogging platforms create dozens of different URL’s for the same content. Google will consider this as spamming, in order to avoid this problem use a robots text like this. It will not solve all your duplicate content issues but can consider as a good remedy.

This is what I have done in past few weeks and it has already started giving me results. Organic traffic has increased from just 8 % to 10.5% in this short time. I am expecting much better results once I get some more back links to my web site.

I have not mentioned any SEO techniques used out side the blog. These all are internal SEO attempts. I am sure I have missed many important points. You are welcome to share your ideas and enlighten us on the SEO work you have done in your site.

And also I found a great video on “blog seo” from mindvalleylabs.com, the only problem in this video is, they use overture to find keywords. Since it is no longer in use, you can use Google adwords keyword tool for the same purpose. This video is great. It explains how they come to the Google top ten results 10/10 times. Enjoy, And do not hesitate to share your knowledge on blog / wordpress SEO here.

You know, there are millions of dollars in Google balance sheet consisting of publishers who never met their magical $100 mark to cash out their check.

They either gave up half way or Google shut them down when they make desperate attempts to out smart Google when the going gets tough.

This is not only related to money, how many people drop out of colleges every year without finishing their degree. When you look back on your life after 20-30 years there shouldn’t be anything that you should be regretted on. Then you cannot say, I could have done this and I could have done that. You are too late. You have to do what is necessary TODAY, and not TOMORROW.

If you wish to become a billionaire within the next 5 years never give up. So many people will try to stop you and there will be obstacles coming from areas outside our solar system. But if you keep on pushing you will at least end up becoming a millionaire. If you want to become the CEO of your dream company, work till your brains pop up. By the time of retiring you will not end up being a loser. If you don’t try you will never know what could have happened.

As I am always telling, you are the master of your own destiny. So you better create a masterpiece which your grand children would be proud to talk about.

Songs play a major part in our lives. They can pick you up when you are down, be your companion when you are alone, set your mood for romance, inspiring you when you need it…. There is a song by Brian Adams; which I want you to listen to. This is not a new song by any means but I only paid attention to the lyrics recently. And I started loving it the moment I saw the lyrics,
I never heard such an inspirational song before. Lyrics are awesome, so does the song. Listen to this if you don’t want to take my word for it, Click the “play” button to start.

[audio:be inspired.mp3]

What cha wanna be – when you grow up
What cha gonna do – when your time is up
What cha gonna say – when things go wrong
What cha wanna do – when you’re on your own

Everybody wants some kindness – everybody needs a break
We all need a shinin’ star when things get hard to take
So tonight we’re gonna wish upon a star
We never wished upon before

The song says all what I wanted to tell you in this post. NEVER GIVE UP and always go for it.

If you know any other songs, movies which inspire you, do not forget to share them in the comments field. I would love to see your feedback. When talking about inspiring movies the first thing come to my mind is “cinderella man”.

And also, I was touched by the movie “The Rookie” which shows that you are never too old to for go for it and if you put your heart and mind in to something no body can stop you. The movie is about a guy who got selected to play major league Baseball when he was in his late 30’s. That was his dream since he was a little kid and no body thought he could make it at his age. You should see how he is going through all the difficulties and finally make the whole town proud. I highly encouraged to watch this 2 movies if you have not already done so.

I am compiling a list of top 10 inspirational movies and would love to have your inputs and suggestions. Do not hesitate to send them my way.
Wishing you all the best,

It will be based upon .com real estate. Also known as Flipping Domains or Domain Flipping. It is like land buy and selling. You buy a domain name for $9, keep it for some time, later sell it for big bucks. Just like when you are in real estate business.
