  • Research Keywords

    • Use a keyword search tool such as the Google AdWords Keyword Tool to test variations on an article's main keyword phrase. For example, suppose that you are writing an article about how to uninstall a particular program from a computer. "Uninstall (program name)" might be the article's main keyword phrase. However, two words similar to "uninstall" are "remove" and "delete." Enter all three keyword phrases in the Google AdWords Keyword Tool to learn which one most people search for; you may find that you need to change your article's main keyword phrase for the most possible search engine exposure.

    Keyword Density

    • Copy and paste the text of an article into an online text analysis tool before publishing it. A text analysis tool displays the most common words and phrases in an article. Ignoring common words, such as "to," "a" and "is," the words that relate directly to an article's topic should appear most frequently without appearing so often that the article looks like spam. If the words appearing at the top of the list are unrelated to the article's topic, rework the article so the main keywords fall naturally within the text more often.

    Tag All Images

    • Search engines use text to analyze the content of a Web page and index it for searching; they cannot index images without text to describe them. When adding an image to a page, add the text alt="text" before closing the image tag. Substitute a description of the image for the word "text." Tagging every image makes your website more accessible to the blind and helps your images get indexed by image search engines, such as Google Images. The WordPress blog software has a field that you can use to type an alt tag when you add an image to a post.

    Avoid Flash and Embedded Movies

    • Avoid overusing embedded movies and Adobe Flash elements when designing your blog. These items slow some Web browsers down, and browsers on mobile phones generally can't display this content at all. In addition, because search engines only index text, this embedded content will not increase your blog's ranking on search engine results pages.

    Publish Great Content

    • No amount of text optimization will get your blog ranked at the top of search engine results pages for competitive keyword phrases. To "break the tie" between Web pages with similar content, Google uses a system called PageRank. If a website has many other websites that link to it, Google raises that website's PageRank; if many inbound links to that website exist, its content is most likely valuable and authoritative. The only way to receive inbound links from other websites is to publish great content that people enjoy. Never purchase inbound links from website owners; Google strictly forbids this.

It's not really much different than for any other type of site.

Blogcatalog, Technorati, and MyBlogLog are good sites for a blog to be listed in.

Commenting on similar blogs can be a good way to get links - not just from the comment itself as these can lead to the owners adding your blog to their blogrolls if they like it. Asking for link exchanges can work too.

Choose the Right Blog Software (or Custom Build)
 The right blog CMS makes a big difference. If you want to set yourself apart, I recommend creating a custom blog solution - one that can be completely customized to your users. In most cases, WordPress, Blogger, MovableType or Typepad will suffice, but building from scratch allows you to be very creative with functionality and formatting. The best CMS is something that's easy for the writer(s) to use and brings together the features that allow the blog to flourish. Think about how you want comments, archiving, sub-pages, categorization, multiple feeds and user accounts to operate in order to narrow down your choices. OpenSourceCMS is a very good tool to help you select a software if you go that route.

Host Your Blog Directly on Your Domain
 Hosting your blog on a different domain from your primary site is one of the worst mistakes you can make. A blog on your domain can attract links, attention, publicity, trust and search rankings - by keeping the blog on a separate domain, you shoot yourself in the foot. From worst to best, your options are - Hosted (on a solution like Blogspot or Wordpress), on a unique domain (at least you can 301 it in the future), on a subdomain (these can be treated as unique from the primary domain by the engines) and as a sub-section of the primary domain (in a subfolder or page - this is the best solution).

Write Title Tags with Two Audiences in Mind
 First and foremost, you're writing a title tag for the people who will visit your site or have a subscription to your feed. Title tags that are short, snappy, on-topic and catchy are imperative. You also want to think about search engines when you title your posts, since the engines can help to drive traffic to your blog. A great way to do this is to write the post and the title first, then run a few searches at Overture, WordTracker & KeywordDiscovery to see if there is a phrasing or ordering that can better help you to target "searched for" terms.
-
Participate at Related Forums & Blogs
Whatever industry or niche you're in, there are bloggers, forums and an online community that's already active. Depending on the specificity of your focus, you may need to think one or two levels broader than your own content to find a large community, but with the size of the participatory web today, even the highly specialized content areas receive attention. A great way to find out who these people are is to use Technorati to conduct searches, then sort by number of links (authority). Del.icio.us tags are also very useful in this process, as are straight searches at the engines (Ask.com's blog search in particular is of very good quality).
