 Help People Find Your Blog on Search Engines

    With the pages published and the themes selected, it's about time for people to actually find your blogs, whether what you wrote about is helpful or just about your day. To start, sign into your Blogger account and choose what blog you want to be made visible.

    Then simply scroll down to the "Privacy" section and click on the tab that says "Visible to Search Engines". 
    That's one way of making your blog easy to find, and unfortunately the easiest. There are more ways to do this, and it requires a little more effort. One way is to add keywords and headers in your posts. This will allow the Google algorithm to recommend your blog to people who search similar topics. Another way to improve traffic on blogs is adding alt text to images, videos, or whatever media is inserted. Adding a long alt text not only improves accessibility on your blogs, but makes the images or videos more searchable. 
    There are more ways to improve searchability on your blogs, however these are the ways that Google recommends, and are fairly easy to implement.
