If you are a blogger and write quality content, search engine optimization can increase your traffic and revenue as a result. Search engine optimization is like preparing your blog or website for search engines. SEO is means adding the keywords that people search in various search engines. As the interest of the people vary so do the keywords and extent of optimization.
Optimize your blog around some choosen keywords. You can add as much keywords for optimization as much content you have. The more the content, the more the choice of keywords. But choose 3-4 four most searchable  keywords with less competition for your whole blog.
Now, how to do it? Select keywords for your blog and write down in descending order with respect to less competitive keywords. You can use google adwords keyword tool for this (search it in google and use first result). There you can find many keyword suggestions and you can also browse by geographic location.
Now if you have written your selected keywords (number of keywords depends upon the weight of your content), then add keywords in categories. If they are not there then make categories of that specific keyword and add as many posts as come under that category. Categories are also known as tags. Then another place to add that keyword is to your blog post title. Then try to add in the headings of the post and at last in the body. In body use carefully don't add so much keywords in your body that your post look awkward. Remember be limited using keywords inside body of the article. Because if you have too many keywords in your article then you can be get noticed by search engines especially google which is king of search engines.
Another thing that matters most and is helpful while optimizing is the length of your article. The more the lengthy the article, the more space it gives for keywords. If you have 200 word article then you have less options for keywords.But if you have 500 words article then you have plenty of options for keywords.
