the most important tips to optimize your blog for search engines

Here is 4 tips to optimize your blog to search engines.

1 - Post Titles :
the post titles are one of the most important things in a post.
as i describe it completly in my previous post (Importance of titles in SEO).
- use short titles
- make sure it contain at least one or two keywords of your post
- first words are more important than last words

2 - Keywords :
keywords are the words that are more important that others in a text. because they show the main subject of post.
these are the words that when someone is googling them, you want your post be in top of the results.
you can write keywords in these places :
- page title
- url of post
- keyword meta tag
- description meta tag
- page body (that contains post text, tags, post title and every word that is in the page)
you can mix other words with keywords and repeat them to enhance keyword density. because it makes your post more important to search engines for those keywords that are more repeated.

3 - Post Tags :
Tags are very important, because you can write things there that you can't write in post. you can write keywords there, you can mix words and keywords as much as you want.
and don't forget that tags are part of page body.

4 - Avoid double content :
double content are contents that can be accessed via different address (urls) !
each post should have just one address.
- search engines like google recognise www.domain.com different as domain.com, and it means your whole blog can be accessed via two url ! for this problem you can redirect one of them to another (remove www from url with mod_rewrite)
- another problem is pages like categories, tags, archives, ... that contains some posts. you can add rel="nofollow" to link of these pages to say to search engines to do not follow these links.
