This article is written keeping food niche in mind, however the basic principles remains same for any kind of niche you are working on.
1. Page Titles: Make sure to use your main keywords in the begining of the title of your recipe or article as search engines give priority to the first words in the title and also the users looking for the content related to those keywords are more likely to click on the search results that contain those keywords.
For example: A user looking for video recipe of pasta would click on the title that contains the word ‘video’ mentioned in it e.g Pasta Recipe [Video].
It is a good idea to include additional information in brackets as it may increase the click through rate of your content in the search results.
2. Keyword URLs: Create clean and easy to read URL’s. Search engines also use the text in your URLs to determine what your content is related to.
For example: plattersshare.com/watermelon-kiwi-cooler instead of plattersshare.com/recipe.php?=658
You can easily customize your URLs while posting on popular CMS like WordPress.
3. Keyword Density: refers to how often a particular keyword is mentioned on a web page. Whatever keyword or topic you are wrting about, make sure to mention it mutiple times in your content however make sure you dont overdo it, keyword density helps the search engines to decide the relevance of your content for a specified keyword.
There is no exact rule as to what should be the keyword density percentage however make sure that your content should not be stufffed with the keywords as it may affect negatively in terms of user experience and ultimately would affect your search rankings.
4. Create Great Content: Well, this is self explanatory, a great peice of content would keep your users engaged and would increase on page time. Create content that would interest people or is in demand. You can use various tools to find which keywords or phrases are mostly searched by the readers. We would talk about it in the next point.
Please not that short piece of content may not be considered valuable and search engines may not give it much importance, make sure that whatever content you create, it is insightful, detailed, provides accurate information and is easy to read.
5. Keyword Planner: Its good to create content that interests you however make sure to create content that is in demand on the web as that would help you drive traffic towards your blog/website and would give exposure to your content created out of interest.
