Easy MLM Blog Training, SEO for the Beginner.

When you first look into MLM Blog training the idea of SEO (or Search Engine Optimization) can be incredibly intimidating. However, if you are planning on operating an MLM blog that will actually show up on the search engines it’s something you need to know about! A small amount of SEO could mean the difference between your MLM blog showing up on the first page of Google, and someone else’s instead.

I like to keep my MLM blog training very simple. The more simple your work is, the more you can crank out! I’m not an internet marketing technical guru, I learn enough to get my blog pages to rank on Google and then I simply work on writing articles. And guess what, just using a few simple SEO tactics mean that a huge amount of my articles are ranking on page one of Google for highly competitive keywords!

Below are a few simple rules to follow to help make your MLM blog rank on Google.

MLM Blog Training – Stupid Simple SEO

1. Title Matters!

Make sure your article title includes your keyword. The closer it is to the start of the title the better (for example in this article I have targeted the keyword “mlm blog training”, so I put it right at the start). You still want to ensure that your title makes sense and is catchy as this is what will make people click on your link instead of someone else’s!

2. Keyword Density

You want your keyword to show up about once per every hundred words! This does not mean that it needs to be evenly spaced throughout your articles, but it should be about 1% of your total article. You should include the keyword in the first and last sentence of the article. Try not to go above 2% unless you are targeting a “shorttail” keyword (a shorttail keyword would be one or two words like “MLM” and longtail would be “mlm blog training”). You want to ensure the search engine knows your article is very relevant to the keyword, but not have it look spammy and unreadable.

Also remember, if your keyword density is too high it will distract your readers and is off-putting. You want them to feel like they are just getting info, not being targeted.

3. Simple Tags

One thing that makes your keyword more relevant is that it shows up in prominent places within your article. So you want to ensure that it is in a H1, H2, and H3 title. For example you will see that the first sentence of this article is “Easy MLM Blog Training, SEO for the Beginner.” This is an H1, or Heading 1 tag making it a heading within your article. You will also want to bold, italic, and underline your keyword in different places in your article.

4. Don’t Give Away Your Keyword Power

If you link to an external website in your article make sure you don’t send them “link juice” for your targeted keyword. This is as simple as adding the text rel=”nofollow” to any external link you make (this would go after a href=”webaddress” and before the “>”.

5. Add a picture

Include a picture of some kind. This will actually make your article easier to read and more appealing, but will also help with your blog’s SEO. The alternate text for your picture should be your keyword.

6. Your Permalink Matters

The link for your article should include your keyword. Often blogs are set to show the date as part of the link for a particular article. I have mine set to automatically be the article title. For many of my articles I delete part of the title from the link to make it simply be the keyword. This makes it seem super relevant to search engines. In this article I left the longer link as I may target MLM blog training again in a future article.

MLM Blog Training: How to Make this Even Easier!

Even thought this SEO is easy and simple, it still is time consuming! I use a simple Blog Plug-in to make this easier. It will tell me how high my SEO score is, if I need to add more of the keyword, if I need to add any tags, or rel=nofollow, etc. It automatically does the bold, italic, and underline of my keyword for me, calculates keyword density and adds the alt-text to the picture. In short it means my article gets automatically SEO’d without me having to worry that I’m forgetting a crucial part.
