website and can be a great way to add traffic.
5.
Twitter is
also a great way to share your blog post to your followers and in turn they can
re-tweet your post to their followers and this can bring loads of new visitors
to your website.
6.
StumbleUpon

engage with.
7.
LinkedIn is
a great professional network to share
your blog posts with that can add value to your followers and readers.
It’s all about
Content marketing
Today Google has got very
strict with regards to people trying to cheat the system and get higher rankings in Google. If you are
doing something that is not common sense then you might get into trouble with
Google and your website could get banned
and not be ranked at all.
When creating content it must flow like you are writing as
normal and not stuff too many key wards
into your articles or blog posts. A good rule of thumb is to use 2% of your key
words in relation to how many words
you write. As an example if you have a 500 word article then 2% would be 10
keys words that you can use in your content.
Do not copy other peoples content as this will also be
penalised. Be creative and write good original content that can add value to
people. Create good headlines with your keywords. Plus use clear bright
pictures and use your Key Words in your
Alt Text but remember the 2% rule includes key words in pictures.
