Five SEO Tips To Raise Your Rank

I wrote Five SEO Tips To Raise Your Rank Because a pages visibility relies on being seen by search engines! As a result of Google crawler's inability to watch movies and view images, we must win them over with words!

#1 Make Sure Your Target Keyword Is In The Page Title

Because nothing quite gives away the subject matter at hand quite like the title. One thing worth mentioning is that when it comes titles, Google rewards short and sweet. Once it does that with blogs, then we're set as marketers lol, and until such time, back too work!

The page title essentially tells Google which search query to place you in so you should conduct research prior. So how do you do that exactly? There are several keyword research tools that you can use to determine many vital factors. The first one many specialists will reference is Google Adwords Keyword Planner. You don't have to purchase ads to use their tool, however you do need an Adwords account.

Other tools such as MOZ, and SEMrush are available to use, and they offer free daily/weekly searches as well. A tool that I recently discovered and find to be particularly valuable is SEOReviewTools.com The features and free tools provided by them seem to surpass their competitors.

#2 Use Transition Words (30% or more of all sentences should contain them.)

So what exactly is a transition word? Well because you're asking I suppose I should tell you! (Because and so are both transition words! Hence my usage of them throughout Five SEO Tips To Raise Your Rank)

Relation	Example of transition words
Enumeration	first of all, also, another, furthermore, finally
Cause	because, so, due to, for the reason that
Comparison/contrast	similarly, likewise, rather, while, in contrast
Conclusion	as a result, hence, consequently, therefore
Fuzzy signals	seems like, maybe, probably, almost
Emphasis	above all, most noteworthy, certainly, even more

#3 Make Sure The Alt Image Tags Contain The KeyWord

What is in the alt image tag also plays a roll in which pictures are in Google images. So if you aren't utilizing them you should start moving forward. Because every little bit of traffic helps and eventually it all ads up. On site SEO isn't a single process, but rather a combination of things all added together.

#4 Keep Your Sentences Short And Simple! (No More Than 20 Words In Each)

As a result you will notice a substantial increase in your ranking. So your high school english teacher nagging you about run on sentences was onto something. Then again, because I don't see her blog on page 1 it's ok to have some sentences over 20 words. No more than 10% per page however, so that we keep it in compliance with the Google Gods!

# 5 Make Your Blog Articles A Minimum Of 500 Words!

It varies from 300-500 words amongst experts, however because content is king, 500 is a good rule of thumb. What you offer your reader could be amazing, but nobody is ever contempt with a sample spoon of ice cream! At the same time you don't want your articles to be to long, boring your reader.

So in conclusion depending on the keyword and it's difficulty, Articles between 500-4000 words is what you should be shooting for!
