KEYWORDS
The first thing you want to do to achieve this is by simply using the right keywords in your title so from that way when someone types one of these keywords, your blog post will appear on the result pages. I’ve done a blog post on how to write catchy blog post titles – read the post here!
La première chose à faire pour y parvenir est d’utiliser simplement les bons mots-clés dans votre titre. Ainsi, lorsque quelqu’un tape l’un de ces mots-clés, votre article apparaîtra sur les pages de résultats. J’ai écrit un article sur la rédaction de titres de blogs – lisez le post ici!

DA SCORE
The second which is the most important thing is to increase your DA score, if you’re unfamiliar with this term – it stands for Domain Authority which is a search engine ranking score that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages. A Domain Authority score ranges from 1 to 100, the higher the score is, the better it will be shown on a search engine.
You can check your website’s DA score (or any websites for that matter) using the Moz website. Note that you need to buy your domain name or to be self-hosted in order to have a DA score, if you’re under a hosting platform (www.yourblogname.wordpress.com or http://www.yourblogname.blogspot.com), you don’t have a DA score.
La deuxième chose qui est la plus importante est d’augmenter votre score DA, si vous n’êtes pas familier avec ce terme – il signifie Domain Authority (autorité de domaine) qui est un score de classement des moteurs de recherche qui prédit comment un site Web se classera sur les pages de résultats des moteurs de recherche. Un score d’autorité de domaine est compris entre 1 et 100, plus le score est élevé, plus il sera affiché sur un moteur de recherche.
Vous pouvez vérifier le score de votre site Web (ou tout autre site Web) en utilisant le site Web de Moz. Notez que vous devez acheter votre nom de domaine ou être auto-hébergé pour avoir un score DA, si vous êtes sous une plate-forme d’hébergement (www.yourblogname.wordpress.com ou http://www.yourblogname.blogspot.com), vous n’avez pas de score DA.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR DA SCORE
Now here’s the big question, how to improve your DA score? There are so many helpful blog posts online you can check, I’ve added the tricks I’ve been doing to increase my DA score below!
Maintenant, voici la grande question, comment améliorer votre score DA? Il y a tellement de billets de blog utiles en ligne que vous pouvez vérifier, j’ai ajouté les astuces que j’ai faites pour augmenter mon score DA ci-dessous!
NAMING YOUR PICTURES
When uploading your pictures in your website, make sure you name them in the option Alt Text. This option will make sure that if anybody types any of these keywords in a search engine, your pictures will be shown.
Lors du téléchargement de vos images sur votre site Web, assurez-vous de les nommer dans l’option Alt Text. Cette option vous assurera que si quelqu’un tape l’un de ces mots-clés dans un moteur de recherche, vos images seront affichées.

USING HEADINGS
I don’t know if this one works but I find using headings improves your DA score and looks much more professional when reading blog posts. What I mean by headings is the option WordPress or Blogger provides you with, not by underlining or making the font in bold.
Je ne sais pas si celui-ci fonctionne, mais je trouve que l’utilisation des titres améliore votre score DA et semble beaucoup plus professionnel lors de la lecture des articles de blog. Ce que je veux dire par en-têtes est l’option que WordPress ou Blogger vous offre, pas en soulignant ou en rendant la police en gras.

LINKING OTHER BLOG POSTS
This technique is called internal linking which means you link other blog posts of yours in a blog post. Any search engines – in this case Google – will think that your blog post contains a lot of resources and useful information which will increase your DA score.
Cette technique s’appelle le lien interne, ce qui signifie que vous liez d’autres articles de votre blog dans un article de blog. Tout moteur de recherche, dans ce cas Google, pensera que votre article de blog contient beaucoup de ressources et d’informations utiles qui augmenteront votre score DA.

COMMENTING WITH YOUR BLOG LINK
Adding your website link when commenting helps a lot as well, this technique is called external linking. This is a good way to promote your blog as well but don’t comment on other people’s blog posts just to add your blog link and to promote your blog which is disrespectful and the blogger in question might remove your comments.
L’ajout de votre lien de site Web lorsque vous commentez est également très utile. Cette technique s’appelle la liaison externe. C’est un bon moyen de promouvoir votre blog, mais ne commentez pas les articles des autres utilisateurs pour ajouter votre lien de blog et pour promouvoir votre blog, ce qui est irrespectueux, et le blogueur en question pourrait supprimer vos commentaires.

WRITING GUEST POSTS
This is another method of external linking, you can write guest posts for other blogs which will allow you to add/mention your blog so you kill two birds with one stone. You can improve your DA score and promote your blog at the same time!
Ceci est une autre méthode de liaison externe, vous pouvez écrire des articles de blog pour d’autres blogs qui vous permettront d’ajouter/de mentionner votre blog. Vous pouvez améliorer votre score DA et promouvoir votre blog en même temps!

POSTING CONSISTENTLY
Your DA score will be updated every 5 weeks or so and within that time, you’ve to post consistently on your blog. It doesn’t have to be multiple times per week but make sure you post at least once a week and don’t take any huge breaks which might affect your DA.
Votre score DA sera mis à jour à peu près toutes les cinq semaines et dans ce délai, vous devrez publier régulièrement sur votre blog. Cela n’a pas besoin d’être plusieurs fois par semaine, mais assurez-vous de publier au moins une fois par semaine et de ne pas faire de pauses importantes qui pourraient affecter votre DA.

REMOVING BROKEN LINKS
Search for any broken links on your website and remove them. Search engines associate broken links as a negative element in your blog so search thoroughly in your comments and blog posts.
Recherchez les liens cassés sur votre site Web et supprimez-les. Les moteurs de recherche associent les liens rompus à un élément négatif de votre blog donc effectuez une recherche approfondie dans vos commentaires et vos articles de blog.

UPDATING PLUGINS
If you’ve a self-hosted website, update your plugins and make sure WordPress is up to date. Search engines take those things into consideration when updating your DA score.
Si vous avez un site Web auto-hébergé, mettez à jour vos plug-ins et assurez-vous que WordPress est à jour. Les moteurs de recherche tiennent compte de ces éléments lors de la mise à jour de votre score DA.

Great tips.
But I read somewhere that leaving your link on other blogs is considered “spammy”.
Being relatively new to blogging, I only rarely leave a link.
But since you say it is acceptable, I will be brave about it now.
Thank you! You’re right but it’s only “spammy” when you leave a two word comment and are trying to promote your blog but if you’re leaving genuine comments then there’s no problem leaving a link to your blog 😊
Ojhhh
Thanks you so much

There are many ways to create a website but however with certain restrictions. Best way I would like to suggest is to know the basics of web designing with html and css and then start creating the website of you choice. #www.bynd.co.in
Love these! All of these are really awesome ways to rank on googles first page. What i like most about these tips is that they are all white hat techniques!
Thank you!
Oh yikes, so much I don’t know. Just wondering what broken links are?
Thank you 🙂
Links that don’t work or dead links. If you click on these links, it will tell you that these pages or websites don’t exist anymore.
ah thank you so much. They didn’t teach us these things at Nursing School 🤣🤷♀️
No problem lovely! ☺️
Hi New Lune! I read through the entire blog post and it is filled with such valuable information, thank you so much for sharing. I have a Q about DA Scores. You mentioned that you need to purchase your domain or host your own website to have a DA Score. If I’m doing my blog with WordPress, and purchased my own domain through them, then I do have a DA Score, correct? I had no idea this existed!
Thank you,
Nat
Thank you Nat! Yes you do have a DA score! If you’ve bought your domain name using a WordPress plan then your website will automatically have a DA score x
Great! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you even more for replying. Greetings from Peru 🙂
Nat
My pleasure! 😊
Great work
Thank you!
😂😂😂😂
Very useful tips but how can I remove broken links? Is IT a tool or something on WordPress to identify them and remove? Many thanks în advance
Thank you! If you have a self-hosted website, you can use a plugin to remove them but if you have a website on a hosting service like WordPress.com and Blogger, you’ll have to remove them manually which will take a lot of time and effort but you don’t have any other options x
Je suis débutante et vos conseils m’aident vraiment …. merci beaucoup !

Great post on SEO. You may want to mention about site speed. Website speed is a factor in search engine rankings as is mobile speed.
Thank you! You’re completely right! x
I didn’t know about naming your pictures. I’ll defo have to add that one to the Arsenal. Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
Great article – thank you! Though I’d make a correction to one thing: the Alt Text on images doesnt affect that much. It’s supposed to be a description of the picture for visually impaired, for example, so you can’t write anything there. Also, Google doesnt index a lot of pictures unless they are commercial or of uber amazing quality, original and meet other requirements. And if your pictures are not indexed by Google, then they are not returned in the search. As far as I know, it’s more important to ensure that the name of the picture is meaningful, and not something like “image123” – none of the search engines like vagueness.
Great article – thank you for putting it all together! Though I’d make one correction re Alt Text on images. It doesnt really do that much – not that it’s not important. But it’s supposed to be a description of the picture for – e.g. – a visually impaired person, so you can’t put anything there. Also, Google doesnt index all pictures in a blog post. Unless an image is commercial, original, is of uber amazing quality, and meets other requirements, it doesn’t get indexed. And if Google doesnt index it, it does not come up in the search. As far as I know, the actual name of the image is more important – as long as it’s not something vague like “image123” that’s good. Search engines don’t like vagueness 🙂
Wow learnt something from this post. Thank you as always.
You’re welcome! ❤️
Very helpful!
So glad you found it helpful! x
