Do an audit of all your blog posts.

Online Marketing Technique #1

Blog length: are any posts longer than 500 words? Then edit the one article to create two articles out of  one. If the article is longer than 1000 words, you might be able to create three articles out of one as a series on the same subject. If your posts are longer than 500 words, your visitors will bounce faster.

Online Marketing Technique #2

Internal linking: are there any posts that do not link to other articles within your site? Internal linking will go a long way to encourage your site visitors to engage with your site. You want them to read, linger, click around. Make it easy for them to do that. You’ll be shocked and how much longer your visitors will stay if you add internal links to every one of your blog posts. Just make sure the internal links are relevant and make sense. Your goal is to have visitors stay at least 2 minutes. That’s an eternity on the internet.

Online Marketing Technique #3

Keyword use: are there any posts that do not have a keyword-rich title? How about the URL for that post? Does it have a keyword-rich URL? Make sure your page title or blog title, URL and the very first line in your post or article are keyword-rich.  You should also include keywords in the body of your article or blog posts once a paragraph. Last, be sure to end with your keyword.
