Write an SEO-optimized Article on Leofinance - 6 Basic Tips
You'll are writing articles on Leofinance frequently. But do you know just a little bit of SEO can bring lots of attention to the Leofinance website and your profile as well?
I am not asking you to learn SEO or spend a lot of time on SEO. Just know some essential tips and tricks so that you can make your post SEO optimized while writing. Now the question is, why will you bother to make your post SEO optimized?
The answer is simple, which I already told in the first paragraph.
- You can get visitors to your article from a Google search. I mean, you can attract people to your content.
- You can help the site Leofinance to become more popular.
Well, it won't take more than 10 minutes of your time to make your article SEO optimized. I wrote a lot of SEO-related articles for Hive. Hive blog is getting enough attention nowadays. Hive's PA (Page Authority) and DA (Domain Authority) is now 44, which is quite good. And you can check the PA and DA of Leofinance in the screenshot.

According to a new site, it's not bad, but it could have been better if we all put some effort.
Domain Authority shows (Range 0-100) the strength of any website and tells how well it will rank on the search engine result pages (SERPs).
Today I would like to show you some tips that'll help you make your article more eye-catchy and make it valuable in terms of SEO.
Choose a Keyword for Your Article
Pick the main keyword for your article. The keyword can be one word or more than one word. Suppose you're writing an essay on earning money online. So "Earn money online" could be your main or meta keyword.
Today I am writing an article on helping people to write SEO-optimized articles. According to my topic, "SEO optimized" or "SEO Optimized Article" could be my main keyword.
So, what's the point behind choosing a keyword? Our target here is to rank our article on Google's first page. Right? We need the main keyword to make it happen. If our main keyword is "Earn money online," it could be shown in search results if people search by typing - "Earn money online."
Now let's see how to use the primary keyword in the article.
Use Main Keyword in The Title
Heading says it all! Just use your chosen keyword in the title of your article. If your keyword is "Earn money online," then your Heading could be - How to earn money online or earn money online in 2021.
The title is the first impression of your article. So don't forget to make it short and eye-catchy. 7-10 words for a title is sufficient.

On Leofinance, the post title will be in your URL. So make it simple to keep your post URL search engine friendly.
Keep Your Keyword in The First Paragraph
Keeping your main keyword in the first few lines of your article is the most important SEO factor. If your keyword is "Revolution in Blockchain," you must use this keyword in your first paragraph and first few lines.
It would then be best if you also used this keyword several times in your post's body. Just use where it makes sense. You may use the keyword 3-5 times on every 1000 words.
Use Subheadings
Using subheadings can make your post more SEO-friendly. Your post title is your main Heading or < H1 > (heading 1). You can use several headings according to your post type.
Besides your title or Heading, your sub-headings are essential as well. Subheadings will help your reader find the sub-topic easily and make your article more comfortable reading.
There are six types of headings which are also called HTML heading tags. Ok, I am not making it hard for newbies. Maybe I will discuss Heading another time. Just keep in mind that the subheading can make your article more SEO-friendly.
Use Image on Your Article
The image attracts the readers the most! Don't just use text in the article, which may make it boring.
And Google search engine doesn't want to show a boring article on their first page. So use your captured or copyright-free images in the article.
Using image Alt tags is also vital to rank an article. I already wrote an article regarding this matter. I hope this article will help you to learn about Alt tags and how to use them.
Use Internal and External Links
Just use some relevant links (where needed) on your article to make it an SEO-optimized article. There are two types of links in an article - internal and external.
An internal link is a link to another page of your website. If I provide a link of my another Leofinance article here, that'll be an internal link.
Look how @taskmaster4450le used an internal link on his post. Clicking on this link will redirect you to another page but within the same website.
And the external link will redirect you to another website. Clicking on an external link will take you away from your current site.
A perfect example of external links in the @leofinance's post. This link will take you out from the Leofinance website.
Using inbound and outbound links in the article is very good for SEO. Adding links will help Google to find and index your article faster. Add links only when it makes sense, do not provide unnecessary links.
Well, these are some basic and straightforward SEO tips from me. I don't think using these techniques will take more than 10 minutes. But by spending 10 minutes, you're not just helping the Leofinance community, but also yourself.

Would a link to hive.blog or peakd count as an external link? I love these articles. Thanks for sharing. I'm writing these tips down.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Link to Hive or Peakd will be counted as an external link, as both are different websites with different URLs.
You're most welcome. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Question for you:
What about using usernames in comments. Like making sure I address @pitboy.
Does that do anything since it is an internal link, on here to the person's blog page?
I am asking from the SEO perspective.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
According to my knowledge, all the links that redirect you to another page of the same website are internal links. Someone can easily go to my profile by clicking on @pitboy, which means creating an internal link.
Now the question is this link is useful or not. Of course, every link is useful for both users and Googlebot if you use it where it is needed. Blogger's homepage will help Google bot to crawl more related content.
But I'm focusing on the contextual links here, which means adding a link to another relevant article in your content's body. For example -
Google crawls the website using a bot named Googlebot and follows links. By following links, Googlebot can find and understand the relationship between various pages and contents. If you want to rank any article, then contextual link matters a lot!
I hope I got that right. Please let me know if you have any more queries. :) I may write an article just on - "contextual links and improve the SEO of Leofinance by using these links" later.

This is one of the reasons I advised people to hang on to their old Steemit accounts and that had more domain age than the new Hive pages. Every once in a blue moon, I'll whip together a quick post, while linking back to articles on Leofinance and Hive...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Steemit's DA is still 89, which makes it a valuable site in terms of SEO. I already wrote an article on how you can use Steemit to increase Hive's SEO ranking.

These are great tips and quick start for anyone wanting to write better articles for SEO. Thanks for sharing!
I try to do this and use subheadings to help with structure but the key words was a gem that I'll remember to work with more going forward!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for the tips. I will be more conscious about my headings going forward. For the other tips like linking articles and using imagines, I try to do those as often as possible.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I find this post very informative and useful, though I really didn't know the benefits of using subheadings in one's posts but I have already been doing that since it makes the post neat, readable, and less complex.
Thanks for sharing this, information well absorbed :)

Keywords title, same keywords in intro, headings, links, images, thanks for the checklist !
I’ve read from another lion that we could use keywords for title at post creation and then edit it just after posting to make it more readable/sexy.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Love this kind of post, short and instructive.
I took some notes:
I will try to implement these in my next posts.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nice, Search engine optimization is indeed necessary and yep I see PA DA of Leofinace for a new site it is really not that bad.

Nice article mate. Does the method of using header matter?
on Hive based text editors, we use "#" to specify headers. So "#" and then words after it represents header 1 and more # used represents smaller headers
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
(#) Heading 1 (Title)
(##) Heading 2
(###) Heading 3
(####) Heading 4
(#####) Heading 5
(######) Heading 6
Normally your post title is heading 1. And you can use heading 2-6 in the body according to your post. Headers help readers and search engines understand what the page is about and various parts of the content.

I love this type of content. This is how I wrote my "How To Earn Crypto From Blogging In 2021" article, which I have been able to rank on top of google for that search phrase. I optimized it.
I'm glad that more people are talking about SEO and the importance of optimized content. Thanks for sharing!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Wow! That's what I am talking about. Your post is great, and it covers almost every SEO factor that I already mentioned in my post.
I also ranked an article with the keyphrase "earn cryptocurrency by writing" and
currently it's in the number 3 position on Google's first page.

Always great to sprinkle a little SEO on posts in the hopes of pulling in some traffic from SERP!
a little birdie told me that DA doesn't quite hold the same weight as it used to. But if content creators want to help build DA through on-page their best bet is external linking to relevant and reputable content with a higher DA than LeoFinance.io.
You're right, a DA of 26 is good for a relatively new website! another approach to boosting DA is to create shorter more sharable type content, opens up more possibility to score some back links from reputable sites with higher DA..
SEO is powerful, and essential for professional content creators. A few months back I suggested to the LEO team to explore adding a basic SEO suite of tools. I'll keep hounding them..
