In my second article in the series of advice to bloggers, the recommendations come from Google, my dear visitors. Since the recommendations are on quality site creation, I think it is of interest to every site owner. Since it touches on SEO issues, I would like to say that I think it would be a little pointless to have SEO work done without looking at Google’s help pages (at least without following the recommendations written there). First of all, I wish you to do the things that can be done by hand yourself, and then hire someone to do seo work. I will make my own comments for each item and the answers written based on the questions asked in the help forums in Turkish. This is the reason why I say recommendations to bloggers from Google. First of all, if you haven’t read the first article of this series, Advice to Bloggers #1, I would like you to read it first. You can quickly look at the recommendations under the main headings, if you want, you can also read my comments below.

Connect Your Site to Google+

It would probably be wrong not to say to Google “This site is mine, I am the author” when you want to rank your site higher in the Google search engine. As you can see in the search results, there is an Author section just below the article title of some sites. In other words, those site owners have linked their sites to google+. As I said, doing this will give you a plus. And if you are not using the Google+ social media platform yet, it will be a start for you. Needless to say, you should regularly share your articles on your social media accounts.

Take Care to Write Quality Content

I see nice articles, 500 words are empty,

I see some articles, 150 words is too much.

I think it’s okay 😀 Please stop entering empty content that you can understand. Giving information to the user is one thing, helping the problem, guiding is another thing. Since I mentioned this article a lot in the first article, I will not keep it long. An interesting title, a dynamic site that the visitor can navigate easily, and patience 🙂 Some friends forget patience and wait for a rapid rise, but it should not be forgotten that you progress step by step. Unnecessary expectation does nothing but harm.

Have an E-Mail Subscription Section on Your Site

Don’t you want your articles to reach your permanent visitors as soon as you write them? If you want that, why isn’t there an email subscription on your site (if not, of course)? Other than e-mail subscription, although some use it a lot, you should also be open to rss subscription. In other words, open a page of your site source with the FeedBurner service that Google has purchased. Maybe your visitors are using this service and in this way you can ensure that they can reach your articles quickly. While writing this article (04.03.2014), I would like to say that there is no e-mail subscription on my own site. I will add it as soon as possible. *While publishing this article, namely 09.05.2014, there is a subscription part in the footer components 🙂

Update Your Site Consistently

The main meaning of this article is that you need to update your site in terms of content. A consistent post entry makes your visitors wonder if this site has published anything today.

Example: It is the site http://www.ubenzer.com/ that I often feel this feeling, that is, if the owner of this site has written something new. When I first entered his site (months ago), when I saw a WordPress theme that impressed me, a lot of content, a lot of quality content; First, I started reading all the articles on his site that caught my attention. I checked, it doesn’t work, it has too many texts, I took it to my bookmarks. At the appropriate times, I examined all the categories one by one and read all the articles that caught my attention. While doing this, I left a few (5-10) comments on the site. After doing these, I used to go to his site every day for a long time to see if he wrote a new article. It wouldn’t have taken me 10 seconds to get in and out, but I was a permanent visitor to that site now, it’s that simple 🙂

Note: He is the source of the Fun and Useful Sites series. From here I send my best wishes to him 🙂

The advice to bloggers from Google is not over yet, I can say that there is so much more. Waiting for your comments on the items. If you liked the article, I would be happy if you share it. I will publish the second article as soon as possible.
