If you’re a blogger, chances are you’re not getting the all important search engine traffic you could. Don’t worry, most other bloggers don’t either because they have no clue as to how to go about optimizing their blogs. Failing to bring in targeted traffic is one reason many bloggers stop trying to make money with affiliate programs and find the next scheme to jump into.

Optimizing your blog post is very simple. Your blog post could be SEO friendly in just 3 easy steps. With these 3 simple steps can increase browsers to your site which may make the difference between a blog that creates its blogger virtually no income or a blog that is an instrument for additional income.

Follow this advice to SEO optimize every blog article you upload and take advantage of free traffic from search engines.

To begin with, you should make certain your article url’s are SEO optimized. With free blogs like BlogSpot, this is done automatically and cannot be changed. WordPress blogs need a little work. If you use the WordPress blogging platform, then set your permalinks so that the code produces optimized url’s when you create a blog entry.

All you have to do in WordPress is go to the Permalinks tab, and check the button along side the Custom field. Next you’ll put a percentage sign followed by the words Postname. {Immediately after the words postname, Now} add another percentage sign. Now all your blog post will have SEO friendly urls.

Next, your main keyword should be in the Title of the blog. For example, if you’re blogging about ways to earn extra cash, then make these keywords the Title of your blog. Don’t put something like Johns Blog. Using the keywords in the Title, then you’ll rank higher than if you name it something totally unrelated.

The next important step is to write the keywords in your Post’s title. If you want people to read your post about using Ebay to make money at home, then your keywords need to be in your post title. Not irrelevant keywords like How I Make Money With Auctions. If you do this, the search engines will have trouble determining what your post is about and the search engine traffic you need won’t appear. If you’re using Adsense to monetize your blog, this is a very important tip to get targeted traffic for high paying keywords.

If you’ll use these 3 easy to follow tips, you will be helping the Search Engines know what subject your blog post is about. By taking a little extra time and making it easy for the search engines to understand what your post is about, the search engines will rank your post higher in the Search Engine ranking pages.

Now to fully take advantage of all this optimizing, you’ll need to build links to each post. But alas, there isn’t enough room here to go ito the details of link building. But you need to learn how to optimize your blog before tackling link building.
