Every blog owner or site owner wants to get a great amount of organic traffic and to achieve this start your strategy from the day you launch your blog or site. You Just need to do proper SEO and Here are the tips which you must opt to get huge organic traffic(traffic from search engines) :-
Keyword Research
Keyword is the most important part of SEO. When You start a blog or your business site then You need a proper SEO to get good traffic from Search engines. So at first you need to search the important keywords for your business site or blog.
I suggest using Google adword keyword tool for keyword research. Suppose you have a website which offers Internet marketing, digital marketing services etc. Then what will be the keywords? Just Go to the Google Adword keyword suggestion tool and type few random keywords related to your business such as Internet marketing, internet marketing service, SEO services, Internet marketing solution, digital marketing solutions etc. just like this:-
Now you will see as:-
Here 1 is the keywords are those which you have searched and 2 are the suggested keywords by the tool. Whenever you put few keywords and search in this tool then it also suggest related keywords so that you get few more good keywords ideas. Now according to your requirement filter out important keywords your site. Save those keywords in an excel sheet or notepad (as you want). One more thing try to choose those keywords which are getting enough monthly searches.
Keyword Distribution
Now you are having a number of important keywords with you. Now what you need to do is the proper distribution of your keywords.
There are three places in the code you should put those keywords wisely and that are Title, Meta description andMeta keywords. However, recent studies says that Google doesn’t give much priority to meta keywords but there are other search engines which still consider these tags.
The next thing you should do is to categories keywords according to their priority as the most important keywords and less important keywords. Now, Place the most important keywords in <title></title> tags. Remember you must not stuff the keywords in title. Just insert keywords wisely in way that it doesn’t seem to be keyword stuffed. After that write a description for your site(for now I am talking about the home page of site) and Place here as :-
<meta name=”description” content=”your description here”/>
As you have already used the most important keywords in the title tag So Now you need to use other less important keywords in the description. Try placing keywords wisely in the description. Again I want say that it keywords must not be stuffed. It should look like a proper description having few keywords.
After doing this use about other keywords in the meta keyword as:-
<meta name=”keyword” content=”your keyword here”/>
In this way you have distributed all the keywords wisely. Remember you have not finished yet. What ever we did here is just for the Home page of the site Now you must do all the things for each and every page of the site. For each and every page you need to select keywords which are relevant to those pages.
Now you have completed all the keyword selection and their proper distribution.
Tags for Crawlers
There are huge number of meta tags which are used to instruct the Search engine crawlers but here I want to tell you to use these for sure
<meta name=”Robots” Content=”Index, follow”/>
<meta name=”Googlebot” Content=”Index, follow”/>
The first tags is enough because it works for all the search engines including Google but if you want to give for emphasis then Use second one too. Its good to have both.
XML Sitemap
Now You must create xml sitemap for your site. There are so many online tools to create better xml sitemaps. After creating an sitemap for your site just place in your sites directory as yoursite.com/sitemap.xml.Now submit this sitemap to the Google webmaster tools.
Alt tags
alt tags are very important when you place an image in your site. Alt is short form for Alternate. Sometimes when you open a site and the images don’t load because of slow connection or anything then you might see there text instead of the image, those are the alt tags.
What I want tell you is that use your sites keyword as the alt tags for images in way that it describes the image also. These tags are also crawled and indexed by search engines and they work for the site as keywords.
These are the basic techniques to do On-page optimization for your site wisely and effectively. If you use it in a better way then you must get huge number of organic visits. If you are running blogs then you should also use important keywords within blog posts.
Permalink Structure
Permalink structur must be meaningful. I saw so many site whic are sueing permalinks such as :-
/product_category.aspx?caid=102
Just Look at it. Can you Figure out any meaning from this permalink. Ofcource Not. It must contain some word or keywords. Suppose If this url points to a page which has information about the social media. then It should be something like:-
/social-media-tips
Or something likes this. It looks meaningful and also social media tips can work as a keyword which must be beneficial for search rankings. Because no one is going to search ”product_category.aspx?caid=102” in google or any search engines but there are hell lot of guys who daily search “Social Media tips” (Its just for example).
My point is that Having a meaningful word in link can be beneficial for better search rankings.
After these implementations start your Off page optimization campaign and keep on building links with your important keywords.
Must Remember
- Always look for http errors and crawl errors for your site in the Google webmaster tools. If You find errors then try removing them.
- All the meta tags will fall within <head></head> tag.
- When you start your off page campaign then Please Go Slow while Building Links. Don’t Go fast.

Superb article! Thank you! I have a question about the permalinks: I put the shortcode on (in a wp site) to get a smaller link tag for a page and every since then, it shows the page name then some numbers.
What would or should the permalink structure look like in order for it to come out looking like your example above or how can I change the shortcode link structure so that the numbers don’t show anymore.
Thank you to anyone who can offer good advice!
Thanks For your comment. If you are talking about wordpress site then You can change permalink structure from your dashboard by going here Settings>> Permalinks. But make sure if you will change the permalink then all your old post with old permalink will result into 404 not found error. If you have posted too many articles then Just leave as it is because if you change now then you have to redirect all of your post to new url.
Permalink optimization must be done in the beginning.
Good Atish, your running a fine blog here!

My friend has a blog that is not customizable at all, but he has a lot of traffic. is it true if you have bad meta tags that will be difficult to get traffic?
aufa recently posted..Extremely sexy iPhone Wallpaper
Its not always true but if you have those keywords which are not relevant then you will not get relevant readers.
So, keyword is the answer. It means that, before making the article, we must determine the right keywords. Am I right?

Thanks for the post! What combination of factors make a keyword important? ie. low searches, low competition or high searches, high competition? Thanks
Chris recently posted..A Bloggers Guide to Twitter
I think low search keyword is not so beneficial. Its good if there is low competition with high searches Because the keyword is getting huge searches and it has low competition then you can rank well with it.
Generation of a XML sitemap is the most important strategy to increase search engine traffic as it tells the search engines about the structure of our blog, and let them index in the search engines for particular keywords !

wonderful tips! about tags, I was having more than 100000 tags in my blog, but now I cut about 90% of them.
Since I’ve got a big database, it’s difficult to check again all the past articles and study new keywords and descriptions, but in theory, it’s what needs to be done to be successful.

It would be a lot easier if you are blogging on WordPress because you have plug-ins like this, and also quick fixes. It’s also good to blog on blogger since you can easily monetize it.

Hi Atish,
Why should we go slow on off page optimization (link building)? isn’t good if we build our backlink fast so Google spider will crawl our page faster and index our page faster and higher, or is it the other way around I’m still confuse here.
Thanks
Auren @ Tips and Tricks Blogger recently posted..5 Best Seo Tips 2012 for Blogger
Hi Auren,
Nice Question. Those days are gone when SEOs do heavy link building and come out on first pages of Google. Now Its different, If you do heavy link building then may be you will get benefit but that is temporary. Google takes you as a spammer if you gonna do heavy link building. So go slow and build links naturally. “Slow” doesn’t mean here to be irregular, Be regular and keep on creating links from Good sites.
however, as its well said “Excess of anything is Bad” so it applies here too.
Hiii ,
Very informative article , i have got a problem ,i don’t know much about google webmaster so when i first used it i think i had save settings of my blog cgmagia blogspot com , in my privacy settings not visible to search and i fetch in google webmaster . now i found that even if i changed it too visible to search engine , the robots are blocking all search labels urls , but all urls are indexed in google . i am getting some poorest search organic traffic . so my question is the your meta tag script Tag for crawlers will help ? robot to stop blocking my 500 search label urls .
Thank you
Rahul recently posted..Norway’s Child Protective Service "Took Indian couples toddler "
Yes these tags will surely help. Those errors are crawl errors. I too get errors in webmaster for my blogpsot blog the errors is like cgmagia.blogspot.com/search/label/abc (something like that), it show restricted by crawler. Don’t worry for this. I too get for my blogspot blogs. It means this type of urls formed in your blog is not getting indexed by Google. Don’t worry. Your main url is getting indexed, then its fine.
For search engine traffic, try to do keyword research and then do the proper placement. also Do link building.
Thank you .
