Here are some steps to help you start real estate blogging like never before...
Identify your main keyword PLUS two or three supporting keywords. Use them throughout the post, in sub-headings, and even in your title. TIP: Google's keyword tool is a great resource to assist in generating topics for your content.When creating your blog title, it should contain the main keyword and be enclosed in an html H1 tag. Adding the H1 tag tells the search engines, and your audience, what each section is about. Google ranking algorithms look at time on page, bounce rate, number of visitors, content, keyword density, html stucture and take into account many other data points in their ranking process.
You've heard that Content is King but, it is useless without traffic. Driving traffic, Engaging readers and keeping them on your website is essential. When writing, add references to other content on your website. This will allow you to link pages within your website; creating a web or network of content readers (and search engines) can follow. Plan on 300-500 words for each topic. Too short and it's not valueable. Too long and it may become tedious or boring.
