Hyperlocal Blog SEO: The Series
by Matt on Aug 3, 2010 in Blogging, MY BEST POSTS
With the publishing of yesterday’s article, the five-part series on hyperlocal blog SEO is complete. In the series, I spoke about the importance of internal linking — providing links on your blog to other content on your blog. I also talked about making it easy for others to link to your content. So, assuming most people won’t want to link to five separate articles, here’s a recap of the series in one post that I think others will be more likely to link to.
- Part 1: SEO for Hyperlocal Blogs: Introduction — In this article, I covered the basics of SEO in the context of factors/signals that tell search engines what your blog and your articles are about.
- Part 2: Getting Started with SEO & Hyperlocal Blogs — In this article, I covered several SEO considerations that are important before a new blogger writes his/her first blog post, such as choosing a blog platform, choosing a domain and blog name, URL permalinks, and much more.
- Part 3: On-site SEO: How to Optimize Your Blog Posts — In this article, I got detailed about SEO optimization for individual articles and blog posts, from keyword research to optimizing headlines and page titles, internal linking, and more.
- Part 4: Ongoing SEO Tactics for Hyperlocal Blogs — In this article, I covered additional blog SEO tactics including topic pages, link building, and using analytics.
- Part 5: SEO Final Steps: Content Promotion for Local Blogs — In this article, I explain the importance of promoting your blog/content in online channels such as social media, as well as offline promotion opportunities, too.
Thanks to all who read through the whole series. More thanks to those who read and left valuable comments on any of the articles. And perhaps the most thanks to those who encouraged me to write the series in the first place, way back in April when I asked you.
