Medical Blog: Rank Higher in Search Engines
Patient groups, pharmaceutical companies, scientific and medical blogs. They all have one thing in common, they offer content to patients and doctors on diseases and possible treatments. Over the recent years, such blogs have become plenty but a few. How to get noticed by your targeted audience? There are two ways. Either you pay search engines for listing your website highly on the search engine result pages (SERP) labelled as ‘Ad’, or you optimise your pages to be better found and indexed by search engines. In this article, we will explain how to do this, and why it is important for your medical or health blog or web site.
“Medical Blog Search Engine Optimisation is the process of structuring your website content for better indexing by search engines”
What exactly is SEO?
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of structuring the content of a website to be correctly indexed on SERP. In the past, the computers (or ‘bots’) that indexed these pages for search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing were easily fooled. But as algorithms for these bots grew stronger, they are now able to distinguish ‘natural’ content from sites that try to trick these bots into ranking them high on the search pages. Search engines even started to penalise sites that tried to trick the bots into high ranking.
“The internet counts around 1 billion websites. Searching for ‘Diabetes’ on Google returns in 246 million hits”
This is where ‘White Hat SEO’ comes around the corner. White Hat SEO is optimising actual content (meaningful content) and organise the structure in such way your Medical Blog can be better indexed by search engine bots. Think of it as a logical indexing based on actual content keywords.
Why is SEO Optimisation relevant?
The internet counts around 1 billion websites. Searching for ‘Diabetes’ on Google returns in 246 million hits. With such huge amount of pages, it is vital to optimise your content.
Optimising the content of your medical blog, product page or patient information website will help to drive visitors to your website. Isn’t that in the first place why you have started your medical blog?
