 From the very beginning

When it comes to SEO, you have to be careful when choosing where are pointed your publications, meaning: your niche. You have to have clearly defined what kind of market you want to immerse in.

One would think that the domain name is a part of your blog that SEO would not need to touch. But thinking that way is a mistake. The domain of your site is something that is analyzed by the search engines to index the sites. The best thing you can do to optimize your domain is to choose a popular word, related to the topic that you write about and including it on your domain name, this will give you more chances to get on top results in the search engine pages.

 Writing with purpose

Optimization is about “ranking” in the best position when the search engines look through your page’s information. Given this, you have to think carefully what you are going to write and even the words you are going to choose. Keep in mind that you have to pick a relevant word related with the topic that you write about, make that word appear at least three times in your article, that way you’ll make the engines relate your publication with the word and thus, making the reader go to your page.

 Hook up the reader

Sometimes, when writing, one tends to simply put the words in order for others to understand you, because of that, the main point of the article is not clearly seen from the beginning and the readers leave before you can explain properly what you want. So, when writing your article, let the reader know what the article is about, what points you are going to explain, and how you are going to help them. This way you’ll be sure to keep them reading until the end.

These are four basic aspects that you definitively have to keep on mind when planning your SEO strategy, but this is not something that you are supposed to do word by word, you can plan your own strategy depending of your needs and the things that works for you.
