SEO tips and checklists Some SEO best practices to maximize the reach of your submission
SEO is a great way for you to maximize the number of readers your article receives. While we don’t want to drown you with SEO best practices you want to create, make sure to follow this checklist to get a lot out of SEO:
Add a useful meta description : This is a 160 character summary of the article. This is usually the summary text that is surfaced on Google right underneath the search result link.
Include relevant keywords : Keywords are the words people type into search engines to find your article. To maximize the reach of your article, include the relevant keywords in both the meta description and the introductory paragraph of your article.
Optimize image alt-tags for SEO :Add descriptive, keyword-rich alt tags to images.
Add links when necessary: Add links to internal and external resources when necessary with relevant anchor text. This means once hyperlinking to internal or external resources, the text being hyperlinked is relevant to the linked page.
Make sure to add a table of content to your article: A submission article must always have correct hierarchical headings (h1, h2, h3, h4, etc..). h1 should always be used for titles only, h2 for subheadings, h3 for sub-sub-headings, and so on and so forth. Use these headings to create a table of contents.
