This actually, won’t be much of a hack but a trick. Google Rules the search market, doesn’t it? And comparing traffic you get from Social Media and from search engine, as far as experienced is confirmed then, Search Engine Traffic is pretty much sustainable and optimizing it for Search engine, would be like getting ready for Long term then concentrating on Instant marketing like twitter, etc. which is short term.

There’s someone who said,

If it’s not the First, it doesn’t deserve to be there.

This fact, resembles a Googler’s behaviour. Well, most of the time they go for the first few results rather then ever getting to search page 2 and forget getting even further.

Well, i don’t mean to say Getting first slot is important but getting onto the first page, is pretty doable and can get decent traffic. But again, depends on what Keyword you are targeting. Targeting for very high keywords won’t get results, unless your website is reputed and is actually competing with with the rest who have the top spot in the search results.

Your Main Concentration should be getting top results for those keywords so you must do some re-search on the keyword. Keeping everything in Mind, after you have the keyword in mind follow the hacks which will help you get good rankings in your search results. 

You know H1 tags mean what. You should use them carefullly as Google takes H1 tags seriously. Most blogs have their title displayed as a H1 tag so making sure that your Title contains the word, could do wonders for you! Let’s say i am targeting the keyword hack for my post on Email id hacking and prevention of it.

Article Title

Now, another important hack is the url. Customizing your blog url is very important. WordPress gives you the freedom to edit you post url freely while blogger doesn’t. For Blogger here’s another post regarding configuring your blogger post url. Making sure your Url contains the keyword is most important.  Apart from adding keywords, adding synonyms of the keywords is also a great idea, because u get to serve people who are searching for the same thing but different word and which at time is also very beneficial.

URL structure

The Next hack is related to post urls only. If you are using the keyword “review” then you might even consider adding the keyword “reviews” too because, that may secure your chances of getting visits from keywords both including “s” and without them.

Well, Tagline and url are important. But equally important is the content. Your first preference should be your content too because you know, your not writing content just for search engine but for people to read too. So i’ll tell you an awesome way to be User-Friendly as well as Search-Engine Friendly. 

When you are writing content, make it a point to include the keyword atleast more then 5 times. Suppose i am writing a post about hacking, i would include the keywords “Hack” and “Hacking” many times. This would increase my chances of getting hits to that post a lot.

Adding Keywords to Post Content

Do you make typo’s or errors in typing while making searches? Maybe because you are not used to typing a lot, or maybe because your on a iPhone whose on Screen keyboard might make typos? Or perhaps different countries have different way of spelling words, like the most common example – British English and in India – “Colour” and  US English – “Color”. By doing this, you again have chances of receiving traffic from both the keywords, which will directly or indirectly have effect on you Traffic.

Another important part of writing a blog post is writing tags and categories (in WordPress) and Labels (in Blogger). If you were thinking if neglecting it, think again. They do play a huge role in getting your post traffic. Adding the targeted keyword as a tag, label would help the search engine recognize your post even more faster and better.
