SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, basically it is the way website owners try to get search engines to find their page to get more views.
A good title is 3-8 words long and contains at least 2 strong key words, words that a person might type into a search engine to find a page.
In my own title "SEO", "Tips" and "Get More Views" are all things people might type into a search engine.
Within your first 100 words you should include all your key words, and make your page inviting. You do not want to over do it, you might use each key word only once within those first 100 words, but every key word should be mentioned.
Some search engines do not even look at pages under 300 words. They are too short, and probably do not contain very much information that a viewer would be looking for.
Good SEO means having 400-1200 words without rambling, and using the key words appropriately thoughout.
An article that is too short is often totally ignored by some search engines, so will get no views.
Every page should have some links leaving it, and some coming to it. This shows seach engines that the page has information that is valued, and gives the search engine a greater chance of finding your link.
When you link away from your page it is a good idea to link to pages that are valued, not lower rated pages.
To improve SEO your page needs to have 5-12 tags. Tags are key words that a search engine will use to find your page. These are mostly nouns, single words, or very short phrases.
These will often be the same key words as in your title.
If you have too many unrelated tags the search engine will be confused. If you have too many tags (more than 20 in some cases) the search engine will ignore some of your tags. Misleading tags should never be used.
When you improve your article's SEO you should get more views on your article. You will want to note that people tend to search more for informative articles than for casual reading, poems, and short stories. People want facts. If you write a factual article be sure to use SEO to get more views!
