Blog Rules All Bloggers Should Follow
You’ve probably heard the phrase “serving two masters” and how it’s impossible to do. In most cases it’s true that you’re better off to not even try.
When it comes to blogging, however, you do have two masters—your readers and the search engines—and you have to please them both.
Your words must resonate with your readers and have them coming back for more. Your posts must be optimized so search engines know what you’re writing about so you can get more traffic. Neglecting one master or the other means your blog is underperforming.
So how do you simultaneously serve your readers and the search engines without losing your mind?
A few simple blog rules are all you need to make your posts shine for readers and search engines. You, as the writer, have more power than you know.
Keep these five blog rules in mind for your posts…

I always try to serve up good content. I know I’m a little wordy but, my pictures are worth it. (In my humble opinion.)
I don’t know much about search engines, so I’ll be checking your blog out to learn more about that, thanks!
I don’t advertise so I’m just glad I have some loyal followers. I love them right back.

Thank you! These tips are easy to implement and make a huge difference. The part I need to work on is keyword density (I always end up using my keywords too often and have to go back and edit some of them out ) and closing on a stronger note.
