SEO for Blogs - Top Tips
-
Hi People,
This may have been covered before (i am sure it had) but I was wondering if people use the same SEO tactics for blogs as they do for other sites.
Really wondering if there are any tips for blogs specifically ?
Thanks all

Great thank you.
Duplicate content is a good point. Using SEOMOZ tools should make that easier to manage

Not really off the beaten track with this advice, but some other things to focus on more with a blog:
1. Duplicate content. Sometimes CMS can create duplicate content issues, so making it easy for search engines to know which one to focus on is big. Just use the rel="canonical tag or 301 duplicate versions of the same post.
2. Let readers share easily with social sharing buttons. This should be done for any site, but it is especially important on blogs to gain quick rankings for recent posts.
3. Make real connections with readers and similar blog authors. Making connections with these people will help you in creating natural links from relevant sites that drive qualified traffic.
Oh yeah, the great content thing, too. Get some of that.

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Microsoft SEO Toolkit vs MoZ
Hi MoZ Community, Does anybody know how well is Microsoft SEO Toolkit. As far i have noticed this tool reports around 20 violations under three broad areas like : SEO, Content and Performance. On many violations I have found MoZ to be silent like : 1-unnecessary redirects 2-Invalid mark ups 3-Missing Tag 4-like vilations and others Important is that it tells solutions as well against each violation on how to fix that. Any body can give insights while comparing it with MoZ. Tanveer

SEO For Replacement Site
I have a client with a website that has gotten a bit outdated. We've already built his new website and optimized it, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to replace the site while doing the least amount of damage to his current Google rankings. He's ranking #1 for some very competitive keywords that are responsible for the bulk of his revenue, so we want to jeopardize that. We've already built a new site and written all new content, although the homepage page title, h1 header and meta descriptions will all remain what they currently are. I'm also trying to keep the keyword density as close to the current site as possible. I am aware of transferring all existing site URLS using 301 redirects. Can anyone provide any tips that I should use when replacing the site? Should I expect a slight rankings drop or am I worrying about nothing?

Mobile blog creating duplicate title and content issues
My site is set up with a mobile website and after running the on page SEO report on moz it is returning multiple errors for duplicate title tags and duplicate content all related to the mobile website being a direct reflection of the main site. I want to know if this is really an issue. I'm sure Google actually knows the difference between my main site and the mobile version. Do I really need to go through each individual mobile page and change each page title and modify all the content? I really would like to avoid doing this but at the same time would like to fully optimize my site. Any advice is appreciated.
