For many blog owners, they fail to capitalize on search engine traffic because they believe Social Media traffic is enough. Failing to capitalize on this free targeted traffic is one reason so many new bloggers don’t earn fast money with their blog.

SEO’ing your blog post is simple. All it takes is just three easy steps. By doing these three steps all the time, you can increase visitors which can make the difference in a blog that makes the blogger very little income or one that produces a full time income for the Owner.

If you want to take advantage of free search engine traffic, follow the advice below to SEO optimize every blog post you post and start reaping the rewards of free Internet search engine traffic.

For starters, you should make sure your post addresses are SEO friendly. With free blogs like BlogSpot, this is automatically done for you. If you use WordPress, then you’ll want to change your url structure so that WordPress will produce SEO friendly url’s when you make a post.

All you have to do in WordPress is find the the Permalinks tab, and click the radio button along side the Custom field. Next you’ll put a percentage sign followed by the words Postname. {Immediately after the words postname, Now} add another percentage sign. This makes sure your blog will have SEO optimized addresses.

Next, your main keyword should be in the Title of the blog. Let’s say you’re blogging about how to earn extra cash, then use these keywords in the Title of your blog and your blog post. If your blog is about Dogs, then don’t use something unrelated like your name in the title unless you also have the word Dog in there also. Using the keywords in the Title, then you’ll rank higher than if you name it Johns Blog.

You’re next step is to write the keywords in the Post’s title. If you want traffic to come to your post about using Ebay to to make extra money, then your post title should have those keywords in it. Not something like How I Make Money With Auctions. If you do this, the search engines will have trouble determining what your post is about and prevents search engine users from finding your blog post. If you’re blog is monetized with Adsense, this tip will increase traffic while showing the highest paying ads for an increase in the pay per click you receive.

These three tips will go a long ways in letting the Search Engines know what your post and blog are about. By making it easy easy for the search engines to know what your post and blog are about, they’ll rank your blog higher than a non-optimized blog.

Building links to each of your optimized post is the last step in dominating the search engine rankings with your blog post. Ahh, but link building is a whole nother article that has to be saved for later. First, get acquainted optimizing your own blog and blog post.
