Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization is the ultimate foundation in which the principles of blogging are built upon.
SEO is the main and ultimate factor to attract massive organic traffic to your website and also a key factor that could position you on Google first page as a beginer.
What do i mean by “organic traffic”? Organic traffic are traffic from online search which can be from any search engine, be it Google, bing, amongst others.
A blogger can be said to be successful only if he has organic presence on/to his or her site rather than traffic from “Social Media”.
This method, although very reliable and effective, yet requires hard work and most importantly time.
It may take you a while to achieve get returns from SEO as it is more of a long-term method. SEO is worth the stress because without it, your page can't rank on search engines.

BACKLINKS
Aside from optimizing your content for search engines crawlers to see your blog as a site worthy to be shown to visitors searching to gain information, Banklinks comes into play.
Backlink is also a key factor that can rank your website on Google first page.
What
then is Backlink? – Backlink simply
means building or connecting your sites to other sites which have built trust
with Google and again have a very high DA – DA refers to Domain Authority.
Link building is not as easy as you might think it is. You must have to go through the stress of looking for sites with high Domain Authority that is related to your blog niche in order to avoid building spammy links.
Some of the ways to build backlinks are listed and briefly discussed below;
i. Profile Linking: Profile link building is the easiest method to build backlinks. All you need to do is, create accounts with high DA sites, put in the necessary information needed – of which providing your website URL is included, and you are good to go.
Examples of sites to build profile links are; Quora, Pinterest, Facebook and so many others.
ii. Guest Post: This method of link building is the hardest of all, as you will have to look for sites that accept guest before being able to insert your link. This is one of the most effective ways to build backlinks.
iii. Writing Comments: Writing comment on blog post is also a great way to build backlinks. You should note it will be of less relevance and spammy to comment on your posts with your links attached to it, rather comment on blog post from other sites with niche related to yours.
CONTENT
Content is King. Writing good and original content is one of the best principle to get your page landing on Google first page.
Blogging is not all about creating a site, then going about to steal other sites content. Copying content from other sites will bring a great setback to your site as Google uses a highly intelligent algorism to rank pages on their server.
Writing quality content pays a lot, It build Google trust on your site, thereby making it rank well on search results.
Always take your time to craft out articles that will be original and readable to your targeted audience.
THEME/TEMPLATE
Are you wondering why Theme/Template is added as one of the factors in order to rank a website on first page?
Having a good, SEO friendly and easy to navigate Theme/Template on your site is a good ranking factor.
Before Google indexed a site, they first thing they will take into consideration is whether the Template/Theme installed on the site can be easily navigated.
Come to think of this, will you be happy if you visit a site, then you come across a content that interest you but you can't get to it because it keeps redirecting to a page with different information from what you search? – I guess the answer will be “NO”, So also it is with search engines.
In a nutshell, note that templates which are hard to navigate irritates visitors on your site, and this hinders your page from participating well on searches and also decrease it's chances of ranking well.
PAGES
Don’t be confuse, a blog page is different with a blog post. Amateur bloggers with less experience do misinterpret this, and instead of writing their content on blog post section, they ended up writing it on blog pages instead, and at the end complaint about their site not ranking on search results.
A blog page section is where you are required to write all meaningful information about your site. For example, things like About us, Contact us, Advertise with us, Privacy policies, Uses of cookies and so many others are to be written here.
Blog post section likewise, is a place where you write your articles.
Having the necessary pages on your website gives search engines an insight on what it is all about.
PASSION
Why is passion listed here? – Yes, passion is listed here because it is the driving force that makes individuals to dash into what they feel like they know how to do best.
Most bloggers nowadays, jump into blogging not because they have passion for it but because of the money involve in the business itself.
You cannot be successful in blogging if you don’t have the desire and passion to write good contents.
Of course, blogging has money but for you to earn that money, you must be work hard to achieve it. And the reward for hard work on your site is getting massive traffic.
