Introduction

In the previous two parts of this series on "Steemit SEO", we talked about:

Today, I feel like there is only a few things left to talk about when it comes to on-page SEO optimization. First, I would like to thank @bodyinbeta for noticing something special when it comes to publishing your article...more on that below.

By the way, if you enjoy the content of this series, I suggest that you follow me as I am trying to publish on the topic of SEO as often as possible.

DISCLAIMER: Please, if you are a newbie to steemit, don't bother with what I am talking about here. This article is targeted to people who want to use steemit.com for other things than the payout and the social network.

You Are Just About to Publish Your Article...WAIT!

So you wrote your article, considered everything that was written on this series before. There are a few things you might want to consider...

1. If you are going hard on a difficult keyword...is your article long enough?

Long form content now tend to rank better. Why? Because a 2000 words article appears much more authoritative on a topic than a 500 words one.

2. Do you have enough regular voters or Steem Power to have DoFollow?

Like I mentioned in a previous article, DoFollow is the whole point of doing SEO on steemit. My research indicate that for an article to have the links become DoFollow, the article needs to be valued over $10.

What is the point of writing a 2000 words article only to have no link juice from it?

The first way you can get DoFollow everytime is by buying enough SteemPower so that when you vote on your article, you are guaranteed to hit threshold. If you are a SEO agency, that shouldn't be too big of an expense...especially since you will recoup your investment with curation rewards over time (as well as money directed to your own articles).

But if the first option is not for you, then you have to consider learning the game of having popular articles. This is beyond the scope of this article but I might touch it in future articles. I've been here since the beginning and I've seen people do it by being consistent, networking and adding value to the ecosystem.

3. Chose your first tag wisely

Thanks to @bodyinbeta for making me notice, the first tag will be embedded in your permalink! Make it your keyword!

You can see in the permalink above that SEO was the first tag and that is now in the permalink. Another thing that might be interesting to investigate would be the page authority of the tag itself and how it could influence your own page authority. Investigation is needed.

4. Publish your title for the permalink THAN edit it to be a headline

As you can see, for the one above, I wanted the permalink to be /steemit-seo-part-2. So what I did was have that being my title. After I hit "POST". I went back and changed it for a better headline for better CTR on the search engine and on steemit which was:

Conclusion

This is kind of the final checklist before you publish your article. I hope you enjoyed it this on-page section of my series. I'm getting married next week so I might be short on time to write those articles for you but I'll do my best to keep bringing more content. If you enjoy the content of this series, I suggest that you follow me as I am trying to publish on the topic of SEO as often as possible.

I resteem, So good post in here

I'm going to go over the earlier lessons, glad I found you! This is great infomation,

This is a complete SEO lesson that you can apply to your own blog..@cryptoctopus

Good post, thank you for the info. The length of the article is a very important factor. However, personally i would always like to obtain the information that i want in a fast, clean way. Straight-forward answers are always better imo ...but it is just my opinion. I will follow you for more articles similar to this. Great job :)

same here, while I appreciate the effort put in writing long blogs, I tend to get lazy reading long blogs, I skim them quickly. There is so much info out there, the briefest way to tell a story or share news is my prefered way.

I ran a small search engine optimization company here in Denver Colorado for dentists gold buyers and real estate agents. @briandenver I would often sit down with the business owner to discuss keywords and inform them about websites and videos that need to be linked up so that they would be able to be found on Google search engine. Google's algorithm was always changing and the growth of Facebook users change the marketplace changed drastically. I now try to leave optimized replies and comments on people's posts so that they can be found on Google and other search engines. I only have a few followers now but I have made it a point to make an optimized comment on every followers new post to give them a start on this social media format.

Thanks for up voting my replies @briandenver please check out my recent blog posts, and up vote and I will return the favor.

Is the author of this article allowed up Upvote the comments being made on this post? @briandenver looks like this one could go viral with a little help from the author. How many of votes are you allowed to have in one day?

I had no idea that you had to hit ~$10 for the do-follow to kick in. I'm learning allot from these write ups you are doing.

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!
