What to consider when you choose blog templates? Certainly there is a search engine friendly blog templates. Enter your blog URL and then it’ll show you how it looks like when a search engine spider visits your blog site. If you see a lot of html code or java scripts before you see main content, it means your blog is not well designed in the point of search engine optimization. How to maximize keywords as a SEO technique? The keyword comes at front line. You have to find the best target keyword/keywords or niche keywords.

• Enter keywords of your post in title tag: Actually most of bloggers don’t need to concern about "title tag" because most of blog hosting applications such as blogger, typepad, wordpress, movable type, drupal, etc… care this for you. But you have to use the keyword in your title and then they will include it in the title tag for you.
• Enter keywords in your blog name: If you named your blog for example, "Ryen’s blog", it’s not a good idea in the view of SEO. Instead name your blog something like "keyword blog". You need to substitute "keyword" with your "target keyword", for example "mountain bike blog", if your blog is about mountain bike.
• Enter keywords in the first sentence: Nowadays many SEO experts say that most of search engines don’t look meta description tag. Instead they look for the few words in the first sentence. So care your first sentence to include the keywords, make it fit to describe your whole post and attractive.
• Enter keywords in meta description tag, if possible: This may be difficult for most of bloggers because most of blog hosting system don’t support this. If this is your case, don’t bother with this. To make it possible is almost impossible for the people like me who are not techie at all. But don’t worry there is other solution: care your first sentence of the first paragraph.
• Enter keyword in alt tag: If you use images in your post, don’t forget to put your keyword in alt tag. A 2 cent-tip related to this is that if your Google Adsense doesn’t seem to show matching ads with your content, check your alt tag. Maybe it’s because you put unrelated words in alt tag.
• Use your keyword in your blog domain: This improves the ranking of your blog and hence more traffic come to you. If your blog is about "anniversary gift", for example, include it in your domain name so that your blog domain looks like "anniversary-gift.yourhost.com"
• Repeat your keywords in your post: With this an English grammar teacher may not be happy. But as long as SEO is concerned, it’s necessary: frankly to say, you have to. General rule says the keyword density should be about 2-3% of whole words in your post. You may complain "heck, how do I know keyword density." And actually I don’t even check it all the time. I just keep in mind 2-3% and check only for some posts that I think worth checking.Type the URL of your post, keyword and click "analyze" button. It’ll return you the keyword density of your post. If the keyword density is too low, consider repeat the keyword more but don’t repeat too much (more than 3%)
• Enter keywords in your file name: When you save your blog, use your keyword. Which one is better, "mypost98.html" or "anniversary-gift-how-to-choose.html"? This time the latter is better because it includes keywords and hence get better chance to be listed in high rank in search engine.

How to construct your blog search engine friendly? The bottom line is that try to make your blog simple but if it’s not possible, focus on writing good content. I observed many top bloggers have a bit complicated permalink system yet have lots of traffic. Make your blog site structure as simple as possible. This may not be a big issue for bloggers because unless a blogger can design her/his blog system, they have to use a default system. This is not so good in terms of search engine optimization. You can reduce those steps but you only can do so one or two step because database recognition is concerned behind this story. Ping your blog By pinging you make search engine spider crawl you more frequently and make your reader notified faster. This may not be an issue if you’re using Movable Type, WordPress, Typepad, or Drupal 4.6.0. But consider pinging to Ping-o-Matic!, if your system is not configured to do so. Because it pings to most of important blog search engines and directories in one spot. If your blog application doesn’t support to ping automatically to "Ping-o-Matic!". Once you type your blog name, blog URL, check where to ping and click "submit ping" button, and don’t forget to bookmark. It gives you a convenience because you don’t need to type blog name, URL and check where to ping again.
