KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).
“Plain English”. Short & sweet posts: 300-500 words.
Hyperlink to relevant sources and articles.
Use images but be mindful of copyright issues.
Organize posts with headers and bullet points.
Use Keywords.
Creative Titles w/crucial keyword(s): “Top 10 _____ lists”.
Use top keywords at least 3-4 more times in body of post.
Use tags liberally - important tool for SEO.
Comments!
