SEO is a much bigger subject to explain in a single article. But I can give you some basic tips to get better rankings in search engines,

In blogging, new and better articles are the contents and the more you have, the more you will be ranked. The more articles you write, the more pages you will create. But you should focus on quality articles. Having a large number with no quality articles will not help you.

Title and web address

Ask yourself, what would be the main keywords to find your blog? If your site is about “Part time Jobs” then your keywords could be, job, jobs, part time, income, salary etc. Try to add some of the main keywords in the title like, your jobs, Part time income, Jobs for Income etc. You could also add keywords in the web address like, JobsForMe.com, MyPartTimeJob.com, and Income-From-Job.blogspot.com etc. But adding too much keyword might look messy and you might lose rankings.

Post title

If you are writing an article about computers, then these keywords will come on your article like, pc, computer, laptop, cpu etc. Add those key words in the article title like, My favorite PC, Using Dell laptops, Setting up the CPU of my computer etc. These will help you to get better rankings.

Anchor text

This is an example of anchor text, blogspot. I have linked this word, blogspot to one of my articles, start a blog using blogger(blogspot). These way readers can click on it and read that article. By doing this, you are increasing your older article’s rank. The more articles you write, the more pages you create for the blog. Search engines give individual ranks for each pages. By linking your older pages, you are helping your blog to get more rankings.

Backlinks

Backlinks/ Linkbacks are the links which point to your blog from another website. Major search engines like google counts this backlinks and determines the importance of a site. The more backlinks you get, the more ranking you will have. There are many ways to get backlinks. One of the popular method is to ask other bloggers a free link or a link exchange. I will write more about this topic later.

There are more and advanced topics and methods are used in SEO, I will share them later, but now you use these tips and see the difference.
