Blog Archives And Seo
Author: Chris Angus
When most people visit your site, the most articles
that they
will see is anywhere from three to fifteen depending on
the
length of them and whether or not you have linked them
“behind
the fold.” Behind the Fold means that they are stuffed
in your
archives. Of course, this begs the question – are these
search
engine optimized blogs lost forever in the archives or
are they
still accessible to search engines.
The good news that even though your blog posts from the
past
are not displayed on the blog page but this does not
mean that
they are not accessible to the search engines or your
readers.
Most blog software and online providers supply some kind
of
archiving system so that readers can easily search your
blog
for other articles. In fact a little box that allows
your
readers to search a blog is a good plug in to look for
when you
are choosing a provider.
Sometimes the archives are listed in a separate list on
another
page by date or subject. On other templates, there may
be a list
of general categories scrolling down one side of your
blog that
people can click on to read other subjects. Another
possibility
is that a calendar object may be put on the page so that
people
can look up the blogs in the archive by date. Another
technique
is to keep all of your category headings for your blogs
as
keyworded titles and to maintain a lot of them. The more
categories you have describing your blog archives the
more
keywords you will have available to the search engines.
Even though these posts are not archived on your
front page
they are still searchable through the search engines.
The more
articles you have in your archives the more visible your
site
is likely to be in the search engines.
