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.

    I don’t do anything of that stuff and still end up getting picked up by searches. My IT fiance said it was because wordpress featured a blog post of mine for a day, so it shot me up to the top of searches due to all the hits. I don’t know if that is true or not. I just like writing and reading other slices of life.

    And I thought there was a massive room somewhere with people paid to trawl the internet. How cool a job would that be?!?!?

    Happy (belated) SITS Saturday!

    First off, let me say “Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest” to everyone here. This post is terrific and it gave me some more insights into what I do on my blog. The learning curve is huge and I learn new things about blogging when I come visit. Thank you!For now, I am looking for a website expert to help with a number of ideas in my head; especially around improving my blog and giving it a full, proper name. Any experienced takers with references please email me.
    Cheers all,

    Every time I think I’m figuring things out, I discover I have so much more to learn. ~sigh~ But it’s Saturday night. I think I’ll just kick back with a cocktail and read another blog. Cheers!

    So late to the game today! Tried to be my same ol’ pre-baby self this weekend- dinner party, brunch with pals, bringing la principesa along…

    The result? Bedtime at 10pm last night, only one nap today and bedtime at 6pm. Plus lots of crabbiness thrown in for fun.

    Lesson= learned.

    Smooches from Chicago,
