You spent all that time creating a content rich, engaging blog post now it’s time to optimize SEO results by following the 5 steps outlined below.

 

 

Here’s an overview of 5 Steps you can take to optimize SEO results for new blog posts

 

Social Media Promotion

Although this step is usually the most obvious, many people still fail to understand it’s importance. You should be sharing your content over a period of several weeks as opposed to the first couple of days after it goes live to help keep the traffic momentum going. It’s important to note that your social media accounts should be promoting not only your own content but also other relevant content from people in your niche. Vary the timing for when you share content and ensure you cover all platforms to maximize the sharing exposure to your audience.

 

Link Back To Your Blog Post

Ideally after your new blog post has gone live people will naturally start linking back to it after reading through it, however you can still help give the new post a boost by linking back to the post from other relevant content featured on your blog or website.

 

Don’t Neglect Comments

It’s important to stay on top of new comments for all of your content not just your new posts. You can setup your content management system to notify you whenever you receive a new comment on your blog. For comments on content that is featured on other sites that you’re the author of, you can use Disqus to subscribe and be notified via email. To help create better online relationships make sure to stay connected with your readers.

 

Save The Link For Your New Post

After your post is live, it’s important to save a copy of the link, especially if the new post is a guest post. This is useful for staying on top of new comments and sharing without becoming overwhelmed. You should be revisiting your content regularly to re-share it and reply to any questions or comments which can be challenging if you haven’t saved copies of the urls for all your posts.

 

Don’t Forget About Your Posts

Your post’s momentum may start to drop off after a few months but by using your list of urls as discussed earlier you can come back and revisit older posts to ensure the information in them is still current and relevant and that all the links are working as intended. Updating older posts can give them new life and new traffic.
