The way to achieve optimization of Quora blogs

I had talked of creating a Quora blog and went ahead to show the way it stamps your presence over the internet. Just like any other platform for blogging, you could make your Quora blogs more visible to search engines. For brands especially, SEO is important to have your blog get ranked high up by search engines.

 

I will let you know how to go about the optimization of Quora blogs for the easy detection by search engines. You actually have the ability to make the numbers of Quora blogs that you want. It helps to get a Quora blog sub-domain. This is best done with the keyword of the brand or the word you have your target on ,targeted keyword.

Optimization of Quora blogs for search engines

You need to know a number of things before I begin:

What Quora uses is the tag of NOARCHIVE. What this basically implies is that the blog does not get cached courtesy of Google. This then means that it is not accessible through the Google operator search. 

By reading this guide on tags of Noarchive, you will get to learn a lot:

• A Quora blog has a number of limitations in terms of search engine optimization. Once you have established a post, one cannot change the Permalink.

• The tag of Alt cannot be used when it comes to images; it is wise to use the keyword as the name of the image.

• They normally do not employ the use of Meta tag for description. This is not as bad since Google pulls Meta descriptions basing on search queries. Another limitation is that there is no method of adding h2 and h3 tags.

We then go ahead to learn the things that could be done to make Quora blogs even more visible to search engines.

SEO from the level of the blog

In the creation of a blog, you can use one of two options; 

Blog title

Use a title that will be shown by the searching engine. A title bearing about 65 characters would be a good starting point. In the creation of a blog, place the name of the brand first, follow it up with the keyword targeted or even the tag of brand.

Describing the blog

Meta descriptions tags are not used by Quora and descriptions are usually indicated by the post that is placed on the home page. You can see an example from the Quora blog of Robert Scoble which avails the description straight from the last post he made.

Search Engine Optimization at a single level post

By now, you have gone about the creation of the Quora blog and proceeded to optimize it at the level of the site. Optimization of permalink and addition of targeted keyword within the 160 characters appearing first in your post can be done. There is this important concept about the Quora permalinks.

In creating a post for a blog on Quora, the keyword needs to be used solely as the title of the post. This can be changed later on. When you are through, save and the permalink would be generated as:

Subdomain.Quora.com/Your-Keyword

For instance, should I need to write about SEO of a Quora blog, the keyword I target could be “SEO Quora”. I could make the title be “SEO Quora” and then later on change it to “Quora blog Search Engine Optimization”.

Additionally, together with such settings, one needs to be keen to handle optimization of keywords at the level of the post. Our on page factors for optimization article will let you know how to achieve ranking for keywords courtesy of search engines. Be sure to use the concept of outbound links for SEO. Of course this will stamp the presence of your Quora blogs. Below is a recap on handling on page Search Engine Optimization at the level of Quora post.

Make the keyword the title post first and proceed to publish it. Alter the title of the post after wards to enhance the CTR. By so doing, you establish the targeted keyword as a permalink.

• The targeted keyword needs to be used within the 160 characters coming first of your blog posts.

• Use an appropriate density of keywords and incorporate LSI keyword as well.

• Alter the name of the image into the targeted keyword then proceed to upload this. 

• Create links with sites of authority from the level of the post as this will accomplish greater authority for the blog.

These tips could be used as techniques for on-page optimizing. One thing you need to keep in mind is that you achieve optimization best from the level of content. Afterwards, quality of the contents you post will be the determinant of your ranking now. This means that you would need to post fresh content, not shoddy writings.
