Red Widgets

By mike, Sep 21 in blog with 0 comments

Following up on my last post about writing for search engines, I thought I’d show you how to write an article and get into the top rank on Google. Here’s a story on Red Widgets, just a term really that I’ve used, but if you copy the style and content, you should end up with the same result.

Here’s a follow up piece to my post on Internal Links – Create A Better SEO Result For Your Blog

In that post I mentioned the phrase “ranking for red widgets“, and I said I would qualify my statement in a later post. So, lets look at how to rank for any term you write about when blogging.

Firstly, you need to understand how the search engines work, they will return search results in the order of their perceived relevance to the search phrase requested. The more relevant your site appears to be to the search requested, the higher your site or page will rank.

Lets say you wanted your page to rank for the term “red widgets”, and this applies to any term that you select that you want to rank for, then you need to think about how you will construct the page. If your page title is about red widgets, your keyword and description tags are about red widgets, your content is unique quality content about red widgets, your page displays images of red widgets and alt text and file names demonstrate that fact, you pick up links from other web sites pointing to yours about red widgets and you include some links to other web sites related to red widgets, does this then make you think that maybe the page or site will be highly relevant to the search phrase red widgets?

Give it a try next time you write a blog post on any subject. Think about how the consumer will search for the phrase or keyword that you use, but be very careful about over using keywords on your page, use them wisely and do not over saturate the page, otherwise Google will know what you’re trying to do, and she won’t like you at all if you try that little game.
