Always write search engine friendly article title/heading
The post title is the main part of every article. At first write your article offline, then choose an SEO friendly title. Target a title, which people may use to search. In my previous article, I’ve written “6 Tips to Write Killer Blog Titles“. If you are writing directly on our blog/site, then please write the article title/post title first.

Target a keyword/Focus a keyword
You have to target a keyword/focus a keyword or you’ve to track a keyword – which people may use to search. Keep your target keyword/focus keyword in “Article Title/Post heading” – it is must. Try to keep this targeted keyword in the first sentence or in the second sentence, but must keep it within 156 characters. See the Google’s snippet preview below. Our target keyword/focus keyword is “How to write search engine friendly article“. We use this target keyword/focus keyword in everywhere in our article at least one time.
-
Use of heading tag (H1, H2, H3)
Use of Heading 1 (H1) tag
On your website, we keep article title/post title in “H1” tag. (Also read, How to write a header tag (h1) for SEO?). Because, one heading (h1) tag is must for tracking your article. And “H1” tag is used to keep the title of the article. Don’t use “h1” tag more than one time in your article. We recommend to our author, not to use Heading 1 (h1) tag to their article on our website.
Use of Heading 2 (H2) tag
We highly recommend for using the “Heading 2 (H2)” tag. This is a very useful tag for SEO. Please use this tag at least one time. We recommend you for using the “Heading 2 (H2)” tag at least two or three times on our site.
Use of Heading 3 (H3) tag
H3 tag also an important tag. But, it is less important than (H2) tag. If you want to insert outbound links in your article, then you can use (H3) tag. Personally, our editor Mr. Biswajit Das use this tag to give the “Download Links” in his article. He has also used (h2) tag to give the link of “Rcommend articles“. Other heading tags are unnecessary. But, you can use for good looking.
-
Use Bulleted List or Numbered List
At least one list is very important. There are two types of list are available on our site. One is “Bulleted List (Unorder List)” and the other is “Numbered List (Order List)“.
-
Use Bold/Italic/Under Line Tag
Make bold/italic/under to these sentences/keywords which are very important for your article.
-
Write article within 300 to 700 words
Don’t write too short or don’t write too long. You know, we watch every movie within 2-3 hours.
-
Use unique image/picture
Image also very important for Google SEO. People can visit to your website through your website. So, to beautify your blog you must use at least one image in the blog post. The pro bloggers use images to send important news and information to the readers. You can also read this post about: “How to Write a Good Blog Post?“. Don’t forget to write SEO friendly image file name, picture title, ALT text and picture description.
Practice without “SEO” plugins (This point only for the owner of website/editor/admin)
Best, if you practice without “SEO” plugins. Remember, “SEO” plugins never make your article search engine friendly. “SEO” plugins always helps to write a search engine friendly article. Maximum web developers/owner of WordPress site use “WordPress SEO by Yoast” plugin to write SEO friendly article. You can also use this plugin. Personally, we also use this plugin on our website.
Enjoy! Keep writing and get organic visitors.
