1# Starting and Ending Para of Content

Whenever you write new post for your blog, always remember to add your main keyword in first and last paragraph of your content’s. Both the locations are best for this purpose and search engines also look for keywords in these two places to decide the ranking of our blog posts.

We can add more targeted words in the form of phrases between the content to make it more SEO friendly.

Our post titles are the top most places to add our targeted keywords. You may listen that we should use catchy post titles to attract more readers. But with catchy post titles we should also remember to add our keywords there.

Meaningful post titles grab more audience. Not only from social sharing sites, but from search engines too.

So, always try to use meaningful and catchy post titles to boost your posts traffic.

4# Permalink of Posts

Permalink is the URL of our blog posts. It’s a killer location to add really targeted keywords.

By default, permalinks create on the basis of our post’s titles. But we can use our custom permalinks to add our keywords.

To add custom permalinks go to your Post Editor > click on Permalink from the right side menu and choose Custom Permalink. Add your main keywords there and press Done button.

Note: Always try to use only targeted keywords in permalinks. Other non important words should be ignored.

5# Post Labels

Post labels not only used to categorize our blog posts. If used smartly then we can take their benefits to optimize our blog posts too.

Stop using non keyword rich names for your labels. Named them correctly and put your really targeted words there.

If you had forgetten to insert your keywords in label’s name, then don’t worry. We can rename them too.

6# Post Comments

Many bloggers are unaware with this trick that we can use our blog comments too to add some keywords in our blog posts.

Yes, you heard it right. There are lot of benefits of blog comments and if we use them effectively then no doubt we can get higher ranking in search results.

Whenever you reply your reader’s comment on your blog, try to add some keyword phrases in your reply in a natural way that looks obvious while reading.
