I got a question through my mail after a long time from a blogger Sheela from India asking me, she wants to know how do I optimize my blog? Its an interesting question which I would love to answer for my own personal feel good factor hehe.. Ok coming back to the question “how do I optimize my blog?”
To be frank I give more importance for on-page optimization over off-page, that doesn’t mean off-page optimization is not important. but my personal opinion is on-page optimization carries 60% of SEO over off-page, I know many seo-professionals and experts may not agree with me but its my personal opinion. Whenever I design a blog I focus more on my visitors and I design my blog based on it, I do analyze what are the age groups, their behavior patterns and other details about my visitors and decide up on my layout accordingly.
