People say it over and over, but content really is king<\/a>. After all, all users are always on the hunt for valuable content they can learn from instead of seeing posts with rants and irrelevant information. The challenge now is how to combine valuable content with SEO for better ranking.<\/p>\n

Start blogging<\/a> and find success in this field with the help of these tips that work:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Attract more shares with longer posts<\/h2>\n

A 500-word article may be easy to do, but sadly, they are not good enough anymore. If you want to create excellent blog posts and be ranked higher by Google, it is best to write a post with at least 1,500 to 2,000 words. This is because longer posts attract more shares and backlinks, which in turn boosts your ranking in search engines. More importantly, you are able to provide more information without limiting yourself to just 500 words.<\/p>\n

To create a longer post, make sure to do an in-depth research about your topic that should be written with the highest quality.<\/p>\n

Write list posts<\/h3>\n

Aside from making longer posts<\/a>, another way to get more traffic on your website is by writing lists posts \u2013 and now you know why Buzzfeed is among the most popular websites.<\/p>\n

List posts are easier to read and comprehend. By making a list, you are giving your readers an idea of what to expect from your post. At the same time, lists are easier to remember, which is also important to help readers remember your site.<\/p>\n

Content quality is greater than SEO<\/h3>\n

Content marketing and SEO go well together, especially if you use them properly. Apparently, there are instances when SEO could compromise the quality of your content.<\/p>\n

For instance, awkward keywords will not sound natural when you include them in the post. Instead of using them as they are, consider placing punctuation marks or prepositions like \u201cin\u201d or \u201con\u201d in between the keyword phrases, and changing the order and variation of the keywords.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry too much about how these steps could affect your ranking. Believe it or not, Google\u2019s search algorithm is smart enough to determine what keyword you are using.<\/p>\n

Pick a catchy headline<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: when you share your post, your headline is what people can see. Therefore, you need to keep it as catchy as possible if you want people to click and share your post.<\/p>\n
