How to Write a Great SEO Blog Post
How to Write a Great SEO Blog Post What are SEO articles? If you want to make your site as successful as possible, you need to learn how to write SEO articles. An SEO article is an article that is written with search engine optimization in mind. However, this still needs to walk a fine balance between being good for the algorithm, and good for the human readers. This is where too many people go wrong: they focus on the algorithm first, and they think about the reader second if at all. Prepare your articles with the users in mind. Google is primarily interested in providing great quality information for its users. Therefore, if your content is written with the user in mind, you will have the same goals as Google and so Google will be more than happy to promote your work. SEO should be an afterthought that you use in order to ensure that Google understands the nature of your blog post and isn’t put off by anything out of place. Keyword Research and Implementation for your articles First, you choose the keywords that you want to use. To do this, you can use a tool like Keywordtool.io or something free like Google’s Keyword Research tool. When finding a keyword or phrase, you need to think carefully about the “intent” and how you will satisfy this in your content. Every keyword tells you something about the person searching for it. People search specific phrases because they want to get specific answers, or because they are looking to buy something. If you choose a keyword because it’s popular but then fail to actually answer the question that is implied, your article will fail to satisfy the reader. And that means it will have high bounce rates (people leaving the site right away), which will in turn hurt your ranking over time. Now include the keywords in your content like so: 0.5-2% density (one keyword for every 50 to 200 words ideally) NEVER force a keyword Ideally include keywords: In the opening paragraph In the last paragraph In headers Add keywords to your alt tags, meta description, etc. Use relevant language and synonyms this is called “latent semantic indexing” Make sure your website is well designed, quick to load, and mobile friendly Get all this right, and your page will rank well while also satisfying the readers in the long and short term!

Baidu becomes Google’s biggest ally in mobile page speed
Chinese search engine Baidu will soon support Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) in its search results, expanding the reach of AMP significantly. Columnist Hermas Ma believes the worldwide impact on mobile page speed will be notable. The breaking news came on March 7, 2017, that Baidu is now supporting Google’s mobile framework, AMP. The tech leader of Baidu MIP, Gao Lei, gave a speech at Google’s first AMP conference in New York. He confirmed that Baidu is working hand-in-hand with Google to accelerate the faster web globally. Baidu MIP, which stands for Mobile Instant Pages, is Baidu’s own version of Google’s AMP. The technologies of MIP are very similar to AMP. In fact, coding an MIP page is just like coding an AMP page, except MIP pages are more customized and optimized for the browsers in the market of mainland China. Baidu says that a Mobile Instant Page can reduce the rendering of above-the-fold content by 30 percent to 80 percent. Moreover, the tap-to-open rate will increase by 5 percent to 40 percent. And similar to Google, Baidu has been considering potentially giving the MIP pages a ranking advantage in search results. The two search engine giants are collaborating for the first time to tackle the problems of slow pages and unfriendly user experiences on mobile devices. Lei says that they are trying to avoid websites investing redundant resources to adopt both AMP and MIP. This implies that the future of AMP and MIP may look even more identical; that said, a one-for-all global mobile framework could be in the making. Baidu certainly is not going to abort its MIP project and replace it with Google’s AMP, as there have been over 1 billion MIP pages indexed by Baidu already. We have yet to confirm with Baidu exactly what they have aligned with Google, and how. They say that there are still technical issues to solve. However, Baidu has confirmed that users can eventually open an AMP page from a Baidu SERP. We don’t know how they plan to do this, whether by opening the AMP pages directly from the SERP or translating them into MIP pages. At Merkle China, we’ve already seen Google and Baidu taking the first steps. Prior to the announcement, the AMP Project website could not be loaded successfully in mainland China. I could only dial on a VPN to check the reference on www.ampproject.org. However, all ampproject.org links are now accessible. When we check the CDN, we see Google enabled the CDN for China, and it loads extremely fast! Given that most AMP traffic originates from Google organic SERPs, it wouldn’t have make sense for AMP documentation to be available in mainland China prior to the announcement. But now developers within the Great Firewall will be able to view and implement this documentation in preparation for Baidu’s support of this framework. This collaboration will certainly benefit mobile internet users, who will be able to enjoy hyper speed on their devices. Of course, it will also benefit brands that want to build a larger presence in mainland China. It is unclear whether users out of the Great Firewall can open an MIP page from a Google SERP; that will depend on whether Google decides to provide support MIP in its search results or accept the customized MIP pages as AMP pages.
