Good information and tips, especially what you said in tip number 3.

“It doesn’t matter how many people visit your page if it doesn’t make any sense once they get there.”

It’s easy to focus on SEO, and I am guilty of this too, so much that we begin to forget why we are doing SEO in the first place. It’s for our visitors!

That’s why I was so happy to hear about the fairly recent Google algorithm changes. Search engines are a business, and their job is to make sure that they provide the most relevant content for their searchers. And they work hard to make sure this happens.

Anyway, great tips. Thanks for the information!

one thing that I always do is use Google’s keyword research tool to check whether people are searching for the singular or plural for a particular word. And also word order. For example would people be looking for “restaurants London” or “London Restaurants” are they looking for Restaurant (singular) or Restaurants (plural)

It’s these subtle fine tunings of the keywords that can make all the difference when competition is tight.

For me, I write how-to or technical problem solving articles on my blog. One trick I use is when I write an article where I solve a problem related to an error message, I try to include as much of the error message in the title of my post.

I also include the error message (in full) in the body of my post. I don’t use screen shots, I copy and paste the message. I have typed in error messages in Google’s search bar in the past looking for solutions, so I figured others do it as well.

I have received many visitors who have search for those error messages and have come to my site because of it.

Great post, I don’t think that many people use the related keywords tool much let alone the highlighted words on the SERP itself. Bravo.
