Your blog posts need to rank high on search engines. If your posts are ranked high for high traffic keywords, you can generate a lot of traffic, which will result in generating a lot of revenue.

Does this mean that you should only write to impress search engines and you should not care about human readers?

Well, the truth is you need to write in a way that you can impress search engines and human readers at the same time.

Can the same article impress search engines as well as human readers?

Well, it can but sometimes it is difficult to write an article that will impress readers and search engine algorithm. There is a simple strategy to deal with this.

You need to balance your blog posts with human friendly content and search engine friendly content. For example, if you have 20 articles on your blog, your 10 articles can be optimized for Google and remaining 10 articles might be something that your readers will enjoy.

When you contents are ranked high on search engines, you will get traffic. When your contents are pleasing for readers, you will have readers who engage with your content.

When you build relationship with your readers, hey will interact with the ads on your site and help you make money.

Blogging is not about chasing the numbers (search engine rank, traffic stat, etc.), blogging is about having fun.

There is some confusion here. Search engine algorithms are designed in a way that high ranking posts will be also be liked by common people. There are exceptions, but in most case, the content that is ranked high are useful, interesting, original, informative, and well written, which will also be liked by the readers. Therefore, you should not be confused about search engine favored content nd readers' favorite content. If search engines like your content, readers will also like those content. The most important thing is to produce readeable content, and conbtent that provide information as well. Readers choice will always be search engine choice.

It seems logical to do so, that is writing articles for search engines and also for humans to actually read and enjoy. But it will be a bit difficult I think, especially if you are not fully conversant with how search engines have designed their algorithm which they change ifyetn , or you are new.

Like another poster said, it's possible to write articles that will work either way, but I think that is something you will only learn with years of experience. Writing articles separately in the beginning might be better, while you experiment and play around to see which articles find favour with both search engines and the people reading them.

I think that this is one of the most essential aspects of writing that a lot of people have been neglecting whenever you start the blog. The most important thing at this point in time to you is how you can be able to make money from your blog but then that is not how search engines usually see it as . The most important thing for you to consider if you want your blog to grow up is just how people are comfortable in using the website and the kind of content that you are going to be posting there .

You must have probably wondered why there are some people who are always stopping search engine ranking no matter what . It is not just because they have been making their research about key words but also their ability to be able to post high-quality content is the most important thing and in fact high-quality content is the number one priority for search engines.

This means that you should always research on your content , you should ensure that it is unique and unplagiarize in such a way that it is going to solve your customer problems.
