Downside for the Content
Trying to gain a huge amount of traffic can be done by well-positioning your blog on SERP, yes that’s true. This is also good since the traffic generated will be counted as organic by certain search engine, which is good, I say.
How to be positioned on the SERP?
Well, based on my experience, the closer your content with the keyword the better it is (higher position on the SERP). And there are tools available out there, to help you preparing your content. Such as a meta-description tag generator that I’ve made.
Backlinks for Your Blog
One thing I like in reading a webpage is, when one doesn’t really understand about something, there (always) a link that giving an explanation about the issue. And all I need to do, is click the “link” and voila, I’d be taken to the related webpage which holds the information.
Basically, when you put some hyperlink on a text in your post, you made yourself a link to another page (or another part of the document). The basic HTML code for a link is as follow
<a href="http://theurl.com/of-the-page.html">Go Here</a>
Pay some attention to the colored text, they have their own role
- http://theurl.com/of-the-page
that’s the permalink, the web-address for the page that you lead others to - Go Here
that’s the “anchor” text, the part that goes hyperlink-ed (the one that got your mouse pointer change into a hand-shaped cursor)
Okay, I assumed you got my point about the permalink and the anchor-text. Now, I’m going to explain about the backlinks (internal-linking and inbound-link).
Solving My Permalink Problem
Not so long ago, I posted an article that put an explanation about domain and hosting. But as any WordPress user should realize, when we’re typing the post’s title, the post-slug is generated automatically (clever isn’t it?). And that was what I missed for pay my attention to. Since I was pausing on deciding my post’s title, the post-slug was generated, which was far from pleasing me (it was a sequence of number, the post ID).
