But,This is not the case for every blogger.

All our aspirations and desires are shattered when we fail to draw any attention of googlers or social media users towards our post.It is also annoying when we find that someone who started his blog after we have better viewership and engagement than our blog.Despite,the fact that post count is greater.

Some people think that post count and post length is the key to blog success.They are wrong.Because in modern day blogging you have to look for other things too.You have to completely analyze your post to drive traffic to your blog.

Are you serious for your blog ? If you are ,then do you check your post before posting ? I think some of us don't.Here is a list of 5 things that I recommend you should check before posting your article/post.

1- Post Title :

Having an unoptimised post title is the wrong way of blogging.You should choose a title on which you can write about and do a keyword research for it.

1. The title of the post should reflect what is the post meant for.For instance,a post on 'SEO' cannot have a title of themes.It is a wiser approach to keep your post titles concise and to the point.
2. The title should contain the best keywords that you used in your post and also use on your blog (but latter trend has become obsolete)
3. The post title should not be too long.Keep its length between 10-70 characters.
4. Don't use duplicate post titles .That is ,using the same title of a post that has already been posted.
5. The title of your post must have <h1> heading.
6. You can also remove the blog title from post title for better SEO.

Meta description of your post is a short summary of your blog post.For instance,when you search google you seen two or three lines below every title.That is the meta description.Like above :
