Hello, tender friends!
I dedicated my lunch breaks last week to completing an introductory S.E.O. course and passed my first exam. Wee!
I wanted to share a super simple, low-tech tip that I learned that everyone can implement here on WordPress. I prefer to consume content in written form, and I figured this could help other people who like getting information from blogs.
Ok, here goes: I have traditionally written “Click here to return to the homepage” at the end of my blog posts, using the internal link feature here on WordPress to use “here” to direct people to my homepage. Friends, I’ve been doing it all wrong! I’m sorry!
A slightly enhanced user experience looks like this: “Want to read more? My welcome homepage tells you how this blog got started.”
The idea here is that the word that is internally linked should refer to the page destination. “Click here” was unrelated to my welcome home page, whereas internally linking to the words “welcome homepage” tells you where you’re going.
Now, what will happen when someone like me who has never written about SEO before makes a post about it? When I go rogue and write about topics that interest me that I’ve never put on the blog before, the algorithm punishes me, but I don’t care. 🙂
Ok, that’s all for today, tender friends! Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for sharing!
