Here is a basic checklist of what your page needs to be optimized for Search Engines. All your pages should follow these rules if you want good SEO.
Keep your title concise and to the point. Keep your title relevant and make sure it has a key phrase or keywords. Stay within 40-70 characters
Be creative and interesting. Articles you write should be fun and informative to read instead of focused on keyword spamming. This will keep your readers attention and the possibility that they might share your work on social media and score you huge points. People are smart enough to know when you're trying to write an article just so you can smash as many keywords in one paragraph as possible.
Write a good Meta Description. Summarize the article and keep it under 150 or so characters. This will help Search Engines categorize and rank your page.
Optimal Keyword Density Ratio. If you pack as many keywords in as possible just so you can possibly penalize yourself in Google's algorithm. Remember, they are All Knowing and All Powerful and will send Sentinels to crush you if they find out you're trying to mess with them. Here's a handy tool to check keyword density.
Short Descriptive URL that is SEO Friendly. A short URL can help people and Search Engines to find your page easier.
Keywords in First Paragraph. After Search Engines read your title they now want to make sure the content is related to it. This is why you have your keywords in the first paragraph.
Properly Tagged Images. My favorite thing to do is to include fun images in my articles. It breaks up the long text and lightens up the mood. If properly tagged, it can also help increase the ranking of your page on Google.
