Tuesday Turn About Link Party 106

Welcome back to the Tuesday Turn About Link Party. The feature photos for this week have a common theme. One is an outdoor dining spot which is part of a home tour, one is a DIY craft for tablecloths and one is a patriotic tablescape. Happy summertime celebrating!

Weekly Blogging Tip

Let’s talk more about SEO… or not?

Before you even try to work on the tools, tips, and ‘tricks’ of SEO, you want to remember to who (whom?) you are writing. ALWAYS put your readers first. What does this mean?

• Create content that your readers will love! Does it solve a problem? Teach them a “how to”? Encourage them to ‘think’? (You get the picture)
• Be sure you don’t keyword ‘stuff’. In other words, if you are writing about summer decorating, don’t use the words ‘summer decorating’ in every sentence, hoping that Google will love you for it. Don’t write FOR Google. Write TO your reader, and make it enjoyable to read.
• Be sure your content is easy to navigate. Add a Table of Contents (something I still need to implement), create topic headings that are easy to read and notice, and take care to write short paragraphs (long paragraphs tend to be a turn-off to readers… have you noticed this in your blog reading?)

These are just a few tips that will help you create ‘user-friendly’ content and, often, SEO naturally happens when you do this! Our mantra should always be “Reader first, SEO second”!

Be sure to visit My Wee Abode and Bluesky At Home for their weekly tips. Every week Julie, Carol and I will each pick three posts to share for a total of nine features.

Now It’s Your Turn! Link Away!

Because this is a party, we encourage all who link up to visit several other bloggers who have linked as well – comments and pins are a great way to spread the love!

Before you get started, take a look at our guidelines:

• This party is for home decor and home-related posts only (recipes, organizing, DIY, crafts, etc.). Link up to 3 related posts. Please do not link up informational posts that do not relate to the topic.
• If you would please not link up shops, advertising, round-ups, other link parties, or any posts promoting sales, we would appreciate it.
• DO NOT PIN FROM IMAGES ON THIS PAGE (it just won’t work right on Pinterest). However, please visit the original post/source and pin from there. That works perfectly!
• By linking to the party, you give us permission to share your projects on our blogs and social media. We will always give proper credit with a no-pin image.
• Please make sure that your images are in a jpeg or png format. If we can’t copy your image, we can’t feature you.

I can’t wait to see what you share with us this week and look forward to reading your posts! Cheers!
