You can always incorporate the important keywords relevantly to your content. This will not only make your content search friendly but also user friendly bringing that ultimate success for your great work.

4) The blog’s design

Obviously, they would want to provide users with the best possible experience with the blog content they choose to surface.

Hence, try designing a blog with a fantastic reader experience. Make sure your readers are able to navigate around the pages, easily find blog post they are looking for and utilize the tagging feature to search for other similar articles, as they account for a positive user experience on a blog.

Besides, the page loading time also matters whether the user is on computer or any handheld like mobile. So, make sure it doesn’t take too long to load the page.

5) A responsive blog

59 A recent study revealed that number of mobile phones on earth is more than that of human beings. Besides, there are various other devices people use to access internet apart from computers.

It is high time that you have a responsive blog. Have it now to reduce your blog’s bounce rate and stop your potential readers or say potential customers to divert to your competitors.

6) Social Sharing Buttons
