Why Is Blog SEO Important For The Websites?

Search engines are a super important traffic source for blogs.

In fact, a recent survey of over 1,000 bloggers found that SEO was their 3rd most important source of traffic (just behind email marketing).

Our own blog is living proof of the power of SEO. Sure, we get a fair amount of traffic from Twitter, LinkedIn, email, and direct traffic. And added together, these sources make up the majority of our monthly traffic.

But Google sends us over 396,000 visitors per month.

Without blog SEO, our site’s growth would have been much slower.

Best Practices

Find One Main Keyword For Each Post
