5 Important Tips For On-Page SEO
1. Quality Content
Have you ever heard the phrase “Content Is King”?
If you have then you will know that one of the most important aspects for On-Page SEO is having high quality posts on your blog. Putting aside the duplicate content argument, if you provide the reader with high quality valuable content then they will most likely share the information either through Social Media or a link back from their blog.
2. Targeting the Right Keyword
A little research can equal big results. Conduct some keyword research to establish what information readers are looking for and structure your article around that primary keyword. In addition to this, by using a long tail keyword you will targeting a smaller number of the search traffic but are focusing on people who are more interested in what you are offering.
3. Keyword Density
Keyword density refers to how many times a particular keyword appears in a article. So for example, if you have an article with a 2% Keyword Density, the word would appear 2 times per 100 words. By implementing the right level of keyword density in your posts you identify to the search engines what keyword (and topic) your are discussing.
4. Keyword Proximity
Keyword Proximity refers to the combination of the density of a keyword and the prominence. Basically, this means the location of your keywords in a sentence and how close they are to each other.
An example always helps:
- How Keyword Proximity affects search engine rankings
- How Keyword Proximity affects rankings in a search engine
The first heading is better as the keywords are in closer proximity to each other.
5. Interlinking
While interlinking may not be considered a very important On-Page SEO area to focus on, it does bring many rewards. Firstly, you allow search engines to identify which pages or posts are being linked to within your website. This is a great way to elevate the importance of key pages or posts, especially when used with the right anchor text.
The second advantage that this brings (while not strictly a On-Page SEO technique) is that it allows readers to click through to other areas on your site based on the links that you have provided.
There is a multitude of different On-Page SEO techniques and areas of refinement, however by following the above tips you can ensure that you are on your way to a more Search Engine Optimized website.

Hi Cemil
I like how to put this.
It is not really appreciated how important keywords are to a website. Another key important ingredient is to have keywords in your meta tags so that search engines can determine what the page is about.
I look forward to reading more of your tips
Hi Gee,
Having relevant keywords in your META tags is definitely a great move to make. Not only will it make it easier for the Search Engines to detect what the page is about, it is another area that is important for SEO.
Hi Cemil,
for a long time before joining a forum to learn about how best to get your pages indexed, I had no idea what was meant by Keywords, Meta tags, or on page SEO I have learnt a lot and still learning.
