During the 30 day blogging challenge you need to make sure that you are not only producing quality content for your readers but also for the search engines too. Keeping to a good blogging frequency will naturally improve our search engine rank in time. But we also need to make sure that our blog posts are optimized properly for the search engines too. Take a look at this basic on page SEO checklist to make sure you are getting the best chance to rank.

• Ensure you have produced high-quality content at least 800 words in length.
• Is your target keyword included in page headline?
• Have you included the keyword in at least one sub-headline.
• Does your keyword appear within body of your article?
• Has your page got relevant images and/or graphics with the keyword within the “alt tags” section?
• Do any image captions include the target keyword?
• Have you checked your post for misspellings?
• Does your post have internal links pointing to other relevant posts on your blog?

Some of you may have the Yoast SEO plugin installed on your WordPress blog. This plugin gives you a great deal of guidance whilst producing content and is something that I use constantly. Just follow the prompts that the plugin gives you to ensure that your posts and pages are properly optimized.
