Welcome to the weekly blogging tip and Saturday Sharefest comment game! This week I’m talking about how search engines view your blog.
Ever wonder how a search engine sees your blog?
Search engines like Google send software (often called “bots”) to crawl around your blog and pick up information they can store in their engine and report back to those who search. If you understand how search bots see your site, you can more easily see where your most important content should be. One tool to help you with this is the SEO browser. It is a free software tool that crawls your website to report what might be missing or could be improved upon from a search engine perspective.
Enter your web address and click on “Parse URL, ” and you’ll see how search bots see your site.
More specifically Seo-browser.com will check the following on your site:
- Your page titles
- If your post titles are descriptive and effective
- If your images have “alt text” that use the keyword phrases you are targeting
Now, let’s play a game! Here are the rules for the SITS Saturday Sharefest:
- Leave a comment here with a link to one of your best blog posts (or just your main URL if you prefer).
- After you leave your comment, visit the link of the person who commented BEFORE you.
- Comment on their post and be sure to say “Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest” in your comment.
Now, go leave some comments! And please visit my blog, Mom Improvement.
And, as always, when you see this:
LEAVE A COMMENT.
Happy Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited for tomorrow…going BOXING, going wine tasting, should be a blast! Hope you all have a great one too. Behave!

That is pretty interesting! I never heard of an SEO Browser. I’m going to have to play around with that nifty little ditty more to understand the data a bit better. Thanks for introducing it to us!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest, everyone! Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone, today I am feeling much better. I have decided to ‘give myself a break’ after following Unknown Mami’s great advice. I am going to chill but how do I do that? Please stop by and give me one. Thanks.

I really need to take some time to add alt tags to my photos, but for the most part, I think I’m doing pretty well.
Happy Saturday, SITStas! Hope it’s a great weekend for all of you!

That was neat, seeing my blog all texty like that! It looked to me like everything on there was pretty good and straightforward and searchable. I know when I check through Google Analytics it looks like people are ganking my book reviews for book reports, haha.
My blog has so much different stuff going on though! I did just update the pages at the top, a new feature for blogger!!
Today I am making bacon brownies from a recipe I ganked off another blog. The recipe is in my pages!!
Up in the middle of the night again to go blog hopping… I really gotta get a better time to read blogs… hope there’s a nap in my afternoon future… and that everyone is having a fabulous Saturday!
.-= Heather – Acting Balanced Mom´s last post: Friday… =-.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I wrote a series about how to help/what to do when a friend/neighbor’s/acquaintance’s friend dies. Been getting lots of feedback that it was helpful. This is the last in the series:

Good morning SITS-world.
I’ve not been around much, but hopefully can remedy that now! Looking forward to reading a few posts today. Hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!

Cool, SEO tips. I’m so clueless about this even though I try to use the WordPress inbuilt SEO, not sure it’s getting me anywhere.

Hi everyone. Have a great weekend.
Convinced that search engines actively avoid my blog. Perhaps they are even repulsed by it. Thanks to this maybe I’ll fix that!

I have two new posts this morning:

Thanks for the great info about SEO. I didn’t understand most of it but that’s okay. What I did understand is the importance of alt tags and that’s something I can put to use right away.
Happy Saturday all! I just took a big blogger leap! I grabbed a new template and reformatted the appearance of my entire blog! I’m a happy little blogger right now!
