I’ve always wanted to rank highly for the phrase “entrepreneur blog“, but have never seemed to be able to climb into the Top 5 in Google. After reading an analysis of Carl Ocab’s Search Engine Optimization by David Elefant, I messaged him asking if he would be able to do the same on his Make Money Online blog for Blogtrepreneur.com. He kindly obliged, and you can find the analysis here.
I just wanted to blockquote some of the things he mentioned for emphasis, and to help you guys know how to rank highly for your chosen keywords or search phrases:
The keyword density for “Entrepreneur Blog” in the blog is 1.2%.
Keywords are not found in the domain name. Nothing can be done about this.
One h1 tag includes the keywords. This gives extra points.
The Meta Description and Meta Keywords all contain at least one mention of the targeted keyword. Well done.
None of the Img “Alt” Attributes contain the keywords.
The conclusion of the article, is that I wasn’t ranking so badly after all! In order to try and further increase my rank, I can add more backlinks with the desired anchor text, try to add more related outbound links, and not sharing the IP address with other domains. Thanks for the analysis David!
UPDATE: Turns out I’m ranked 6 at the moment for the term! Woohoo
