Why we need to write a super long post? Whenever you search online for anything you could see there are top 10 results they are written in-depth more than 2000 thousand words because Google and other search engines like the long detailed post to rank higher in search engines.
There is also one advantage of a long post is that when you write a more than 2000 – 3000 words post article. What happened, fortunately, you add more LSI keywords by covering all details within your post that help you to get searched for a different type of search for specific keywords.
For example, if your post has these keywords like “build high-quality backlinks” and “generate backlinks” what happened, you get searched for both keywords.
5. Optimize Title Tags for CTR
Optimize title tag means create a blog post headline catchier and engage. You can read my post to optimize the title of your blog post. It is very important to make your post title tag more interesting because a better post title help to increase your CTR and increase your ranking in Google.
For example, if your one of posts ranks on number 3 and peoples click and read your post more than ranked 1 post what happened Google will rank your post on number 1 because of your better CTR than competitors, so always write a title tag that attracts peoples.
It is really important to do some keyword research to find out most profitable and long-tail keywords for your post with the help of keyword research you will get new keywords idea and also know the keyword competitions so you can take low competition keywords to write a post on it because of low competition keywords rank higher in search easily than high competition keywords.

There is the most important thing is Google rank only those sites whose images are optimized. It means your blog images must have alt tags and title tags that help the search engine to know what is an image about.
The search engine can’t read images they take help of alt tag and title to read images, so you must have optimized your blog images for better on-page SEO.

The main keywords are of your blog post is important but that no means add keywords randomly everywhere within a blog post.
Your keywords density must be not more than 2% of your blog post. Like if you have a 2000 words post then your main keywords not more than 20 times in the article. Maintaining of keywords density is better for on-page SEO.
