• Install Meta Tags to your blog
Meta tags are important even though they are not considered as a ranking factor but they influence you traffic from other sources.

• Provide site details on the footer
Footer details are very likely to be used by search Engines to rank blog posts, yes I was serious about that because I have experienced it on this blog whereby a searched post would include keywords which are on the widgets which means that search engines also scan on the header, footer and sidebar.

• Make use of the No-follow attribute
The no-follow prevents search engines from viewing links on your blog, which will prevent any possible link juice that may be transferred from you site to any site on the internet. A link with a no follow attribute will appear as text to search engines , these links dont affect the post rank but they are considered as the text content.
• Optimize comment links to prevent spammers
People like to share useless links on the comment box whereby they think that they can get a possible link Juice which is really funny, I also shared my links on other Blogs but they were all no follow . Any link in the comment section is no follow.
Spammers like to share their spam services on the comment section which normally will make your blog look spammy to the visitors.

• Customize title url
The Title url plays a great role as a ranking factor in the search engines, the way you format the permalink of your blog post should focus on the search keywords and also on these simple url format rules:
1. Try to keep your url less than 50 characters because search engines can only read 50 chars of the url and the other part is not considered at all.
2. Avoid the use of Stop words like The, A, to and an
It mostly safe to change the post permalink before the post is published, because you may never know how your post is performing in the search engines . It is safe to reformat non performing posts in order to help them rank better.

With these SEO tips your blog will definately achieve big on the Search Engines which will boost  your traffic as well leading to more subscribers and monetization, and far most I wish the best of SEO .
