The Future Of SEO And The Application Of Guest Blogging

SEOGuest Post - Our host is Chris Gunn, Chris takes an interesting look at were SEO may be heading in the future.See How To Become a guest author on Spice Up Your Blog.

The SEO world has been very shaky lately as those who have dedicated their livelihoods on the development of websites and blogs have seen a shift in Google’s algorithms on the horizon. There is definitely a legitimate change coming, but is it truly worth all the hype? Does Google really want to eliminate all forms of link building, even the honorable, fair whitehat approaches? What about the people who want to have a successful site and truly follow the rules? There’s been too much doom and gloom on SEO, and it’s time to tame it down. Below is Matt Cutts’ most recent vlog “What should we expect in the next few months in terms of SEO for Google?

The Changing Face Of Back Linking And Traffic

Guy Writing Links On Screen
Guest Post - Our host is Daniel Vassiliou, in this post Daniel uses his experience as a professional writer and link builder to explain Back linking and traffic is an ever changing field.See How To Become a guest author on Spice Up Your Blog.

I lose track of the conversations I have with marketing agencies, looking to hire my services as a link builder, who only have one goal in mind. Build links, whatever the cost, and the more the merrier. Of course they all know about Penguins and Pandas, oh my, and are quick to add things like, “high DA”, or “PR over 4”. The trouble is I don’t think they have understood quite how dramatically the SEO scene has changed, and still is changing.

Google+ Today For Tomorrow’s SEO

Cool Google+ SEOGuest Post - Our host is Samantha Priest, it's been some time since Google added social signals to their algorithm here Samantha looks at how you can use Google+ to boost your blogs SEO.See How To Become a guest author on Spice Up Your Blog.

Over the last few years, the significance of social media in SEO has increased manifolds. If you are really serious about obtaining the top positions in search engine results, you should devote adequate time building your social media influence. Search engines like Google have taken several big steps to integrate social media with search engine optimization. Google’s social network Google+ (or Plus) is, therefore, one of those social networks that you can never ignore. The kind of influence you build on Google+ will play a vital role in ranking your site in SERPs.

But do you know how to boost your site’s SEO with Google+ ?


Though the roll out of Google+ has also led to a lot of debate as to whether it has the potential to last, it’s quite evident now that the social network is making its present felt quite strongly in Google search results.

One thing that you should always remember is that Google+ should not be treated in the same way as Facebook or Twitter. In order to improve the SEO of your web properties, you should treat Google+ as an indispensable web marketing tool. And it’s just the right time (as the competition is yet to build) to increase your Google+ usage and create an online presence that supports your website’s SEO.

Here are some of the best tips to follow.

How To Get Your Blogs On-Page SEO Right In 2013

SEO Image Jigsaw guyGuest Post - Our host is Winson Yeung, in this article Winston takes a fantastic in-debt look at on page Search Engine Optimization and how you should approach it on your blog this year.See How To Become a guest author on Spice Up Your Blog.

A lot of webmasters get the wrong idea on what true on-page SEO is. The engineers at the major search engines like Google and Bing put up algorithms that can do much more than just detect if the content on your website is unique or not. Optimizing your on-page SEO is not about “tricking” the search engines. It is about doing the right things to meet their requirements and provide a good user experience to web searchers. In this article, I will show you how to do that.

Duplicate Content vs. Syndicated Content vs. Unique Content


I will start with a heavily discussed (and misunderstood) aspect on the subject: unique and duplicate content.

People often make the confusion between duplicate content and syndicated content.

The issue of duplicate content occurs when you have multiple pages on your own website that have the same content. This is not something that always happens on purpose. It may be a genuine mistake by the Webmaster, or it can be that the same page has different versions (one for desktop computers, a mobile version, a printable version, etc.).

There is no real “penalty” given by Google for this, but they certainly do not want the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots on their results page to be taken by different versions of the same page. So what they do, is “pick” the one page their algorithm “thinks” is best for the users, and displays that only in the results page. The problem is that the algorithm sometimes gets it wrong.

Google explains how to fix this issue with rel=“canonical”.

View the full explanation and instructions on how to use it here:

==> http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139394

Then there is what we call syndicated content. This is content that is posted and re-posted many times on the web, on different pages of different websites. For example, an article posted on EzineArticles may have been posted on 8 different websites. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but again, the search engines do not want the same content to appear in multiple spots on their results page; so they let their algorithm decide which page is the best for listing. This depends on a lot of factors, like how many backlink the page has, or how many social signals the page is receiving.

This is why creating unique content is viewed as THE way to “rank your way up the SERPs”. Unique content avoids the confusion. It also shows more time and devotion, hence, more value. This is not to say that you cannot rank with syndicated content! But it’s just that you will have to provide more value than the other pages (maybe generate more comments from your reader-base?).

The Exact Keyword Density Finally Revealed

Keyword Density Collage

People also tend to emphasize on a “magic number” concerning keyword density. “Aim for 1.5%”, says 1 ‘expert’, while another will say, “3 – 5% is the way to go!”

While having too much of your keyword in your article may be considered as keyword stuffing, the issue should not arise at all if you are writing with the intent to provide genuine value. If you come up across good keywords in your research, writing content around them will naturally get you to do the right things. Let’s say you pick 1 keyword to write about:
  1. You will naturally have the keyword in the title
  2. You will naturally mention the keyword a few times in the article
  3. You will naturally use the so-called “LSI keywords” in the article (you won’t even have to look for them)
That’s all the SEO you need in terms of keyword density. A number cannot possibly indicate how good an article is (unless the number is 15% or something, which would then definitely be stuffing!).

Examples Of Good Internal linking, And Why It Works


An extremely good example of internal linking is Wikipedia. Have you ever noticed how often Wikipedia ranks #1 – #3? Their internal linking structure is amazing. All of its articles have anchor text linking to other articles on its own domain. It’s almost impossible for any search engine to “miss” a page they host.

Just for fun, I searched for “seo” on Google. The first result is…Wikipedia! The very first sentence has 5 links, each linking to an internal page!

See it for yourself:

==> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization

Internal linking shows a strong structure, and suggests that your website is well themed. Here is an example:
Let’s say you publish an article about weight loss on your blog. It’s probably going to contain phrases like “drink a lot of water”, “exercise regularly” and “fat metabolism”. These could link to the other articles you publish on your website; “Water & Weight Loss”, “3 Sample Workouts for Losing Weight” and “How Your Body Burns Fat”.

Provide a good user experience in terms of "being on your page"


It’s good to be creative, but there is a limit! Pale orange text on a yellow background is hard to read for most users. It’s unpleasant. And when people don’t like it, it doesn’t rank well!

Let’s again take Wikipedia as example. No fancy colors, no fancy images; just plain old black text on a white background. Google does the same, and so does Apple.

Always give priority to “clean and neat” over “fancy and complex”.

Why you need to avoid software for your on-page SEO


It may be heart breaking for many on-page SEO software providers, but honestly speaking, it’s more about you than the software you use (for on-page SEO!). The use of software should actually be kept to a minimum when it comes to this aspect of optimization. Software cannot “feel” (yet) how it’s like to be on a page, as a human.

However, you can. Be a good and objective judge when looking at your page. Do you like it? Would you be able to read for long on it? Is it pleasant? Is the article useful? Does the page provide value? These questions are what on-page SEO is about. If you answer “Yes” to all of them when analyzing (with your eyes and brain) your page, then you’ve probably got it right. If not, then work towards making all these questions an indubitable “Yes!”.

The Simplest Yet Most Effective Guest Posting Strategy To Follow This 2013

Guest Post - Our host is Aritra Roy, As a guest author himself Aritra has some tips to pass on about guest blogging in 2013.See How To Become a guest author on Spice Up Your Blog.

If I think about traffic, organic traffic comes to be my favorite. I love it more than any other methods of traffic, mainly because of its consistency. I also appreciate the power of social media, subscribers and direct visitors as a source of traffic for my blog, but I have observed that organic traffic have proved to lead to much more conversions.

You just need to plan a perfect strategy for your blog and then implement it with efficiency and can enjoy the sweet fruits of organic traffic almost forever.

And if I think about my favorite link building strategy, then guest posting is what comes into my mind. I have been writing guest posts for various blogs for a long time, but my primary intention was never link building. I love to write and reach as large audience as possible and provide them with the best quality content possible.

But, I have seen many guest bloggers, who are almost spoiling this guest posting environment, by taking it in the wrong way. Providing low-quality 500 words, spun-like articles and writing articles only for the sake of getting backlinks, is never the principles of guest posting.

They probably do not understand the essence of guest blogging and make a complete mess of not only their own blog but also the host blog. In this article, without giving “hard SEO slogans”, I will try to make guest blogging strategy as simple and as easy as possible.

The Art (And Science) Of Building A Link Profile

New Link BuildingGuest Post - Our host is Matt Foden, Matt explains new link building as an art and science.See How To Become a guest author on Spice Up Your Blog.

With the myriad of recent changes to Google's algorithm it can seem very difficult to navigate yourself through the stormy waters of Search Marketing nowadays. Recent Penguin and Panda updates have turned previously accepted SEO practices on their head.

For example, the once widely accepted technique of using exact match domains to target specific keywords has now been targeted and devalued by the search engine. It has to be said, though, that this particular change has been on the cards for some time, and actually does make a lot of sense. It's another fairly recent update that I want to focus on in this post, however, an update that penalised sites that were too reliant on keyword anchor text links. I’ll explore our real life experiences in this area and offer some practical advice that you can apply to your own sites.

SEO Content Writing: The Google Formula For Success

Google Penguin ImageGuest Post - Our host is Michael 'Ace' Darko, In this post Michael has blog SEO tips for Google success.See How To Become a guest author on Spice Up Your Blog.

Google threw the SEO efforts of the content writing world a huge curve ball with the implementation of the Penguin update. Many were still thanking their lucky stars after the Panda update of April 2011 only to be wiped out from utilizing too much search engine optimization within their content.

What did this mean for everyone else?

It meant taking the art of content writing back to its very roots: writing for people, not spiders. It meant that many people who had spent thousands of dollars for SEO link building services were suddenly in the dark.

Matt Cutts, the head of Google’s Webspam team said it best in his latest interview,

"..People understand good content, research, unique content with value is essential to SEO... sites that have social sharing, natural sharing – instead of buying links – are generally not going to be hit. By next year, we hope marketers/ webmasters get that and natural linkbuilding [sic] becomes the norm.."

So does this mean search engine optimization is out of the question for content writers? Absolutely not! Google actually encourages good SEO to help enhance both the user experience and the quality of writing presented within the content they see. It’s the Google formula for success, and it’s the reason their users have come to trust them since their inception.

Keyword Optimization + Original Content = Relevant Traffic

Successful content writing lives and dies on proper keyword optimization. I mean think about it, how many of you can write an article on the newest pair of Nike’s and beat out Nike on the SERP’s? This means you have to choose your SEO competitors wisely, and that starts in Google’s keyword tool. For those who do not already have a high page rank on the search engines you will want to concentrate on medium competition keywords for your content, not the high or low.

I already know what you’re thinking so I’ll tell you why you don’t go for the low competition traffic with 2,000,000 monthly searches. You’ll either be up against too broad of a term to ever beat out the sites on the front of the SERP’s (I mean seriously, you’d have to have the writing skills of Steven King and the SEO skills of Aaron Wall to create that level of content), or you’ll be dealing with long tail keyword phrases like “me like a me them new Nike Zooms”. Try integrating that into your content enough times for Google to recognize that as your main keyword phrase.

Creating your Content Outline

So you’ve selected the keyword you feel confident will be the goose that lays the golden egg for you. Now what? Good SEO is synonymous with good structure. Any copy writer worth their salt will tell you just as much. Start with your main keyword for the niche you are writing the content for. Make a list of all the industry terms you can think of, both antonyms and synonyms. These will be your main keywords support. Remember what I said earlier? Good SEO relies in providing rich original content for your reader.

So by compiling these words you will have an arsenal of industry slang that users will be searching Google for. Too many people believe using the main keyword a hundred times is optimizing it for the search engines when in reality the moment Googlebot crawls their site they’re sitting 100,000 pages back in the SERP’s. Use your main keyword sparingly and your supporting keywords to help maintain your contents relevance.

Headings Can Kill Your SEO Efforts

Your content writing can easily live or die through grammatical errors such as improper heading structure. Now Google isn’t anal when it comes to grammar/ spelling errors, but skipping from a heading 1 to a heading 3 or a heading 2 to a heading 4 will set off red flags that will surely hurt your SEO efforts. Going in reverse is fine as it’s grammatically correct.

Google Loves Ordered/ Unordered List

Providing relevant original content is only half of Google’s formula for success. The other half, as previously stated, lay in providing their search base the best user experience possible for the results they provide. Here are a few reasons why you should be including bullet points in your writing:
  • Both lists demonstrate structure
  • Both list help pinpoint relevant content vital to their users needs
  • Bullet points are now shown in search results proving the added strength ordered and unordered list lend to your SEO efforts in the eyes of Google

Gain SEO Points For Acronym Meta Tags

Copy writers who market offline don’t have the added luxury online content writers are afforded when it comes to sharing the meaning of a particular acronym to their marketing base. The acronym meta tag not only provides the better user experience Google aims to deliver its search base, but simultaneously enhances your search engine optimization efforts by delivering the acronyms proper terminology when the user hovers their mouse’s cursor over it. Here’s an example:

<acronym title=”Search Engine Optimization”>SEO</acronym> = SEO
Hint - Place your cursor over SEO to see the acronym.

Final Thoughts For Content Writing Success

Too many people have erroneously confused search engine optimization with manipulation. The sole purpose behind Google’s algorithm is to provide good solid writing that provides the user with both unique and original content. Think really hard for one second. When was the last time you searched a specific keyword or phrase and Google took you to a front page where the top websites were spam? Make no mistake, Google is one of the most artificially intelligent designs in existence. Even more so since implementing the Panda and Penguin updates. It would be better for you to write one solid and well thought out piece of literature that is rich in content, both for SEO and user success, than to write 10 weak articles that no one will want to read. At this point the user will immediately click back on their browser and go somewhere they feel actually deserves their time.

Google keeps detailed records of where searchers go even after they have entered a website. If they click your search result and are gone in 2 seconds flat your site is clearly demonstrating to Google that your content isn’t worth doo doo and perhaps you’re not actually as relevant to that search after all. It’s called your bounce rate and I’d advise everyone to read it and figure out a way to keep users moving through to at least one other page on your website to maintain its balance. If you hold true to the Google formula for success your writing assignments will become an arsenal of marketing firepower.

Bonus Tip Too Maximize Article Success Rate

Anyone who has heard of ad blindness knows it as the effect of automatically tuning out the ads after years of online exposure. Well we’ve now stepped into the age of “Social Media Blindness.” We easily tune out the social media buttons when we read an article without even thinking about it. So here’s an easy solution to remedy that problem and provide you with not only well honed SEO power for the search engines, but the greatest opportunity to gain maximum exposure for your blog post and articles. Are you ready for this?

Ask. It’s that simple. Many people will have no problems helping you out if you Simply ask your readers to click them. It’s called permission marketing. Your basically stating that you need their help and that you are dependent on them for your success. Not only that, but make sure you ask at the end of the post or they may forget. To take it one step further put it under its own heading (with a heading that is integrate to your article’s focus), figure out a way to use your keyword and a few synonyms and antonyms that are actually relevant to the content you have written and slide it right in there. “Please take a moment to share my post on your social media. It’s only takes you two seconds but would mean the world to me. Thank you so much.” Voila, instant win.
