Blogspot SEO: Google's 13 Best 2018 Ranking Signals

#1. Ensure your blog is MOBILE friendly. Google started penalising mobile unfriendly sites in 2015 and are likely to crack down even more. Use responsive design.

#2. Spell check posts and always use correct grammar. Well written contents is a ranking consideration. Especially after Googles new Panda update.

#3. Provide contents that is useful to its readers.Useful contents keeps visitors on your blog longer, which improves your Google ranking. Research before publishing.

#4. Create a new post at least twise per week. Regularly updated blogs rank higher than those updated randomly or less frequently. I tested that too, and it worked. 

#5. Properly label your post. Labels adds to keyword density. Widen it with related words.

#6. Format comment section. It should be no followed and moderated to avoid spam comments.It helps too.

#7. Focus on a particular niche. Many bloggers (like me) start with the idea of creating a multinihed blog. That can confuse Google entirely, and decide to ignore you.

#8. Use SEO friendly URLs. Shorter URLs rank better in Google and other engines too.

#9. Optimise the meta description. It gives searchers info they need to determine whether or not to click. Write them wisely. 

#10. Optimise your images. Search engines don’t just look for images, rather they look for alt text. Don’t forget that.

#11. Don’t use too many similar keywords. You may get penalised by Google for “keyword stuffing”.You know what that means. 

#12. Link internally when possible. They help show the validity and relivance of your content.

#13. List your blog on searh engines. I’ve seen many cases like this. So cross check your settings and webmaster tools.

What Is SEO / Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ?

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the visibility of a website on organic ('natural' or un-paid) search engine result pages (SERPs). This is accomplished through implementation of search engine friendly website architecture, optimized internal navigation and link landscape, as well as optimization of the content (comprised, at a minimum, of readability & usability improvements, and grammatical corrections). SEO is as much art as it is science, but at its core it is the discipline of making user-friendly & useful content understandable and easily digestible for search engines.
