3 Resources That Can Help You Get More Traffic to Your Blog Posts

Since you’re reading this article, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you probably love some of the elements of producing content for your blog. You might love the recipe development process, the photography, or the cooking. Or maybe all of it!

And I’m going to go out on another limb and say you probably have a lot of content on your blog (and are generating more and more every month). Maybe you have over 50 posts on your blog. Or over 500. Or over 1000 like we have on our sister site and food blog, Pinch of Yum.

And all of that content (both your new blog posts and the ones that already exist on your blog) takes a lot of time and effort to create. You put in the work; now it’s time to make that content work for you for the long run.

SEO is one of those terms that I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about. It’s that invisible-yet-powerful practice of optimizing your content for search engines and for the people who search for content online.

You’ve most likely done some SEO work, but you don’t quite know if you’re doing everything you can.

But! If you’re publishing content without taking the time to optimize it and make it the best it can be, you could be missing out on potential traffic, social media followers, and ad revenue.

Because SEO is so powerful (and complex), we wanted to resurface some of our favorite blog posts (and talk about a free event we’re having soon!) that can help you level-up your SEO strategy today:
