5 Mini SEO Tips to Help You Get an Edge on the Competition #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Hey, what's up everybody?

It's Pat Flynn from SmartPassiveIncome.com and today I'm going to share with you five

quick mini SEO tips to help you gain an edge on your competition on your quest to get to

the top of Google.

Now you might be wondering, well, why are mini SEO tips so important when there's so

many bigger things to worry about when it comes to SEO?

My answer is this: The thing is your existing competition, the sites that are already ranking

in the top 10 in Google, they're already doing those big SEO things that we should all be

doing already anyways, and they're doing them really well.

That's why they're ranking so high.

They're already having the key word in the URL of their pages, in the title of their

pages, in the description.

They're already building quality backlinks to their site and writing unique helpful content,

for both Google and the users of their site.

They have a sitemap in place and all these other things that we should all know and should

be doing already anyways.

It's these small things that can make the difference, because when it comes to SEO,

you're actually not competing against the search engines.

Whom you're competing against is other websites and all you have to do to outrank another

website is just do a little bit better than them.

These mini SEO tips, these are thi
ngs that not very many people think about or they don't

even take the time to do because they're so small, but together, they can really make

a big difference over time.

Now if you implement one or all these things, you know, your site's not going to make a

drastic change overnight.

These things take time.

SEO takes time.

You should know that if you've tried this already.

But if you do this, you can get an edge on your competition over time.

So, let's go ahead and get started with tip number one.

The first tip is to make sure you include images in your blog posts.

Now I know a lot of people do this already, but they don't do it properly in regards to

search engine optimization.

They'll add images to make the posts look better, which they often do, and they'll add

images to strengthen the points that are made in the article, which is also good.

But a lot of people don't know that you can actually do some good SEO work with your images.

The thing about images is Google and other search engines, as smart as they are, they

can't look at an image and understand what it's about or what it's relevant too.

There has to be some kind of behind the scenes data or some metadata with that image for

them to understand what it's about.

So, there's three things that you have to be concerned about.

One is the file name, two is the title of the image, and three is the alternate text

of that image.

The first step is to actually find an image that is relevant to your content and then

change the file name to match a target keyword that you're targeting for that post.

So as you can see here, I have an image.

It has a funky file name because I downloaded it from IStockPhoto.com and I'm going to change

the file name to match the keyword that I'm targeting in this particular post, which is

SEO Tips.

I just change it to SEO Tips and that's the first step.

The second step is to upload it to your blog post with that file name.

I'm going to select files and find it here, open.

Once it's done uploading, all you have to do is scroll down and change the title to

match the same exact keyword as you did in the file name.

So, SEO Tips for the file name and SEO Tips for the alternate text and then you're all

set.

Now Google can understand what this particular image is about, which is beneficial because

it shows that your article or your blog post is more relevant to that particular topic,

which will help you in the search engine rankings.

You can also get found by Google image search as well.

So I'm just going to make sure this is the right size and I'm going to insert it to the

post on the right hand side.

And there you go.

So now I'm going to preview this to show you what it looks like and you'll see that when

I scroll over or when I hover my mouse cursor over the image, you'll see that alternate

text pop up, or the title of that image pop up just like that.

There it is, SEO Tips.

So as you can see, now there's some data behind that image that Google can read in regards

to this particular post and image.

So that's good.

So that's step one.

That's how you should approach images for your blog posts.

Now, quick thing.

If you're adding multiple images to your blog post, I would only do this on the first image.

Any other images below, I would change the file name absolutely, and also the title and

alternate text, but match different keywords that are relevant to the content, maybe secondary

or tertiary keywords that are relevant to the content in that space that you're going

to insert that particular image.

So I would only do that once.

You don't want to keyword stuff.

You want to keep things natural.

But again, this is a great tip, a great mini SEO tip to help you with your images.

So be sure to do that.

The second tip is to decrease the number of words in your permalink or URL that's created

when you write a new blog post.

The thing is, you don't need all those excessive words in there, words that don't do anything

for you SEO-wise.

You can chop it down a little bit and make it more targeted for your specific keyword

by increasing the keyword density of the overall URL.

If you don't know what that means exactly, here's an example.

As you can see, the title of this post is Five Mini SEO Tips to Help You Get an Edge

Over Your Competition and what WordPress usually does is it just creates the exact match URL.

Five Mini SEO Tips to Help You Get an Edge Over Your Competition.

That's a little excessive.

You don't need all those different words in there.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to make this a little bit better for SEO, I'm just

going to call it Five Mini SEO Tips, and that's it.

Or it could be something like just Five SEO Tips or just SEO Tips, whatever you want.

But as you can see, I got rid of a lot of the garbage in there for the URL.

It's still going to be okay in the title, and of course, the title should be compelling

and magnetic and attention grabbing and it's probably going to include a lot of words,

but you don't need all those words in the URL.

Just target your URL a little bit better and you'll be that much better off.

So I'm just going to call it Five Mini SEO Tips and click OK.

And then when I publish it, that's what the URL is going to be.

And also, as a side benefit, it's just easier to memorize.

That's the second tip.

Tip number three is to create a Google+ page for your website, you can do this by going

to Google.com/+/Business, and you can get set up fairly easily.

The reason this is important is because this is Google's social media platform and the

more involved you can get with Google's social platform, the better off you're going to be

because a lot of search is being driven by social these days.

I've heard of a lot of websites who've seen really good stuff happen as a result of just

creating a Google+.

It's still early in the game so you can get ahead of your competition if you get in pretty

fast.

So, I would create a page as soon as possible.

It's not that difficult to do.

I'm going to show you my page for Smart Passive Income and I'm going to show you really quick.

I'm not going to go into the ins and outs of a Google+ page but I'm going to show you

really quick where you can add your website so you can get a link back to your site as

well.

I'm pretty sure it's a nofollow link but again, it's coming from Google so it is relevant

and nofollow links are just as important as follow links coming back to your site.

So this is kind of the stream for the Smart Passive Income Google+ page.

To really quickly edit it, you can go to your profile here, which is a circle with a person

inside.

Then you can click on edit profile here on the right-hand side, and then you can see

down here, under the about section, there's a spot for your website.

That's where you can change this link and have it point back to your blog or your niche

site or whatever.

And that's good.

Of course, I would put an introduction and try to make this a real social page and try

to connect with people, if possible.

I mean, it can only help you.

Then whenever you come out with a new post, you can include a link here on your stream

and write about it and talk about it and try to share it and get +1s for it and it can

only do good for your website.

So again, this is another quick SEO tip that will help you.

You don't need to spend so much time on it, unless you want to, but it just takes a little

bit of extra time to potentially make a lot of things happen for your website.

So that's tip number three, creating a Google+ page for your site.

Tip number four is to create a YouTube channel for your specific website.

Even if it's a little niche site, I would still do this.

the reason this is important is not only because videos, if you embed them on your posts and

they're relevant to the content, that's really helpful for SEO and showing authority for

a specific keyword that you're targeting, but also the channel itself.

You can create links that point back to your site.

remember YouTube is owned by Google so we're just kind of showing more relevance here,

integrating ourselves more with Google to build our authority for the specific keywords

that we're targeting.

The way you add links is, even if you're not a partner, you can do this.

You have your channel set up.

You can add graphics and change the colors if you want but the links come into play here.

So on the right hand side, you can see the About area.

What I'm going to do is click on this edit button and it will open up these editors.

I can change the information here.

I can actually integrate Google+ and Twitter and Facebook, which I would do.

Also here, down below, this is where you add the links.

So you can add the title of the link, like Smart Passive Income, or whatever target keyword

that you're targeting, and then the URL.

It’s that simple.

Click add and be sure to click on apply at the top and now when I scroll down, you should

see that link added right there.

It’s that easy.

Again, that's going to be very powerful for showing relevance for those specific keywords.

So that's a great quick and easy tip and again, I would try and create videos for your specific

site and embed those videos into your blog posts.

Try to match the keywords and the tags and make the description relevant.

Include a link in the description back to that blog post or your home page and it'll

be all good.

It can only help.

That's actually been a really powerful strategy that I've been using on my own niche sites.

The fifth and final tip has to do with affiliate links, so if you have affiliate links on your

site or on your blog or niche site or whatever, this tip is going to be relevant to you.

Now the idea is to make sure that your affiliate links, or links to CPA offers or anything

like that, are nofollow links.

They have a nofollow attribute connected to them.

What that basically means is, it tells Google when they're crawling through your page to

basically just ignore that particular link and just not count it at all in the overall

algorithm and scheme that's going on on your site.

Now this is kind of hard to explain and I'm going to use an analogy that I just came up

with.

I don't know if it's the best analogy, but it kind of makes sense.

If you think of your blog like a juice box and inside is your SEO juice or the authority

that you have for whatever keywords you're trying to rank for and just your page in general.

Now every time you put a link on your page, it's like poking a hole in your juice box

and, as a result, some of that SEO juice gets leaked out.

Now sometimes that's okay if those holes are poked by links that are relevant to the content

on your page.

So it's good to link out to sites that are relevant to the content on your page.

But when you link out to a site that is like an affiliate link or a sales page or a CPA

offer or something like that, Google sees those types of sites as being more low quality

and not really that relevant to anything.

They kind of discount them.

So as a result, if you don't put the nofollow attribute to them, it's like poking a big

hole in your juice box and a lot of that SEO juice and authority that your site has is

going to get leaked out and you're going to have less of it as a result.

So the idea is to make sure that your affiliate links have the nofollow attribute.

Now there's a few different ways you can add the nofollow tag to your affiliate links.

The first way is through basic HTML.

I'm not even going to show you that because there are some more automated ways that you

could do this.

The first way is through a plug-in called Tiny MCE Advanced and I'll show you this plug-in

really quick.

Here it is down below here.

Tiny MCE Advanced and what this does is it adds a couple more features and plug-ins to

your WYSIWYG editor and also some other things in the back end of your site.

Some things are helpful, some things I don't even touch.

But the whole purpose of this plug-in as far as the nofollow link is concerned, is that

you can insert a link like you normally would using this popup here like you normally would

in WordPress but now this has this advanced tab.

That's what comes with this particular plug-in.

you can click on this advanced tab and then once you have your affiliate link in there

or whatever link you want to put the nofollow tag to, you go down to relationship page to

target and in that drop down menu, it says nofollow there at the bottom.

I'm going to click on that and hit update.

Now when I preview this, I'm going to preview this, then go into the source code, and show

you that it actually is a nofollow link.

I'll show you what that looks like in HTML.

So there's the affiliate link right there.

I'm just going to right click, view page source, and this looks pretty crazy but I'm just going

to click command F and then type in Market Samurai and, as you can see right there, it

says REL=“nofollow”.

That means that this particular affiliate link is a nofollow link.

So that's one way to do it.

going back here to the post, another way that I like to do it is I like to put most of my

affiliate links through a plug-in called Pretty Link for a couple of reasons.

One, it makes the link look a lot better, so if I open this link up now, you'll see

it says MarketSamurai.com/C/PatFlynn.

That one doesn't look too bad but a lot of times, especially links that come from Amazon,

there's a bunch of letters and numbers and it gets all crazy.

But what I like to do here is actually I like to put that crazy link into a plug-in called

Pretty Link and I'm going to do that here for you right now.

So you can download the plug-in called Pretty Link.

You can just use the Lite version for what you need to do.

what you do with this plug-in is it actually makes your links look a lot better and also,

at the same time, it keeps track of those links which is nice as well.

So I'm going to put the target URL, which is this Market Samurai affiliate link here,

and then I can create my own Pretty Link.

So I can call it whatever I want, SmartPassiveIncome.com/, I'm just going to call it MS1 for now.

I like to create Pretty Links for even the same affiliate link across different pages.

That way I can track which page is performing better than the others.

I can give it a title or description if I want.

That's just for my own purposes, but I'm just going to hit create really quickly.

There you go.

It shows the title of the page there and also the link that you would use, which would redirect

people through that affiliate link and again, it makes that link all nice and pretty and

it has your URL on it.

Now the point of this for the purposes of the nofollow attribute is if you go to the

options menu here, and then you open up link options, you can actually make sure that all

links add the nofollow attribute by default.

So any new links that you create automatically have that nofollow link.

And also, actually, I would change this to a permanent 301 redirect as well.

Update the options.

Now I'm going to go back to the admin and I'm just going to copy that Pretty Link.

And now I don't even have to do anything.

All of my affiliate links that are done through Pretty Links are going to have that nofollow

attribute.

So it's pretty much done automatically for me.

So that's another benefit and reason why I like to use Pretty Links.

So I'm going to go back here to the post, I’m going to change that link to the Pretty

Link, and so that means I don't even need to deal with this advanced tab anymore, even

though it is nofollow.

It doesn't matter if it's there twice.

So I'm going to hit update and then publish or save draft, update, or whatever and you're

all good.

So that's a nofollow link and that will happen across the whole entire board if you use Pretty

Link.

So that's it.

Those are the five mini SEO tips that I have for you today.

Hopefully they were helpful, not too hard to implement, and I recommend that you do

them so you can at least give yourself the best chance to rank better than your competitors.

So good luck.
