    SEO basics for a blog?

    Hey!

    I am looking for some advice on SEO for my blog, but I am not sure where to start. Is it the same as a normal website? Any advice/links welcome!

    a blog is a website, so basically it is the same. just make sure to update frequently with good rich content.

    @SophieM your Blog looks very good and has potential,after you have added new content you can then Ping it with Ping-o-Matic that will get it out for a starter and then you could think about adding it to another Blog on that niche.Good luck with it.

    One thing people overlook is that a blog, unlike a site, is meant to be more like a journal. This means shorter posts. One of the best things about shorter posts is that you can capture traffic from long tail keywords. And while long tail keywords may not generate as much traffic as popular keywords, they are much easier to optimize for and actually achieve natural, organic rank for within search engine results. I have used long tail keywords successfully on almost every post on my blog (sbimonline.com) . So, when applying SEO to your site, focus on the right long tail keywords if you want a better chance at success.

    Here is an article on using long tail keywords.
