Tips to Create An Engaging Blog Post
Key Word/Phrase Research
Before getting started its important to have done some research into what key words or phrases you will be using in your post. Its best to have a list of key words ready to use through out your article including the main key phrase as this will run through out the title, headings and the article.
What Is a Key Phrase?
A key phrase means a set of separate words that build a phrase (so it’s a multi-word search term). If it is essential to distinguish between a single word and a phrase, these terms are used in their initial strict meaning. Otherwise, many search marketers often use both terms as synonyms and prefer the term “keywords” since it is shorter.
How to use Key Phrases to Create Engaging Blog Posts
You need to include it in the title of your post, and also in the introduction. Other places to include your key phrase are:
- The alt of your images

This will not only serve to increase your SEO score but also proves very helpful for viewers. A good article with helpful related links is much more likely to be visited again or be used more frequently. Make sure not to over link your article but adding some links to certain words or pictures that are related with the post and will prove beneficial to your blog.
Adding Internal Links to Your Blog Posts or Pages
Not only will this help structure your article well but also increases traffic to your own site. Linking some words or pictures related with another article or page of yours will help drive viewers round your site. Increasing views and also time spent on your blog.
I personally like to create my own Related Articles section at the end of my blogs with links to any other related content. This is to encourage viewers to follow on to another article rather than leaving the site.

By adding related images (with key words in the alt) will help related your article with something the reader can also view. This is great for tutorials, creators trying to advertise their content and many other reasons.
Further more these pictures can used as a helpful link to another page or article on your site.
