blogpost to the website - Give image alt attributes image caption.
- Give link to High Domain Authority external
website. - Blogposts that are not linked to main website
are useless. - Try to limit the external links to 3 links (1

shows low quality of website. - No single keyword should point to 2 different
webpages.
