In 2026, writing a great article is only half the battle. With millions of posts published daily, the real secret to making money on Lodpost isn't just writing—it's Search Engine Optimization (SEO). If Google can’t find your article, neither can your readers. In this masterclass, I’ll show you the exact steps to rank your Lodpost articles on the first page of search results.
1. The "Keyword First" StrategyBefore you type a single word, you need to know what people are searching for.
Use Long-Tail Keywords: Instead of targeting "Make Money," target "Best passive income side hustles for students in 2026."
The First 100 Words: Google gives extra weight to the beginning of your post. Make sure your main keyword appears in the first two sentences.
2. Master the Heading Hierarchy (H1, H2, H3)
Google’s "crawlers" read your article like an outline.
H1: Your main title (only use one!).
H2: Your main points (e.g., "Step 1: Keyword Research").
H3: Sub-points under those sections.
Pro Tip: Try to include a secondary keyword in at least one H2 heading.
3. Optimize for "E-E-A-T"
In 2026, Google prioritizes Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness.
Be Personal: Use phrases like "In my experience" or "I tested this."
Link Out: Link to one or two high-authority websites (like Forbes, Wikipedia, or official tech sites). This tells Google your article is well-researched.
4. The "1,400 Word" Sweet Spot
While Lodpost allows short articles, Google loves depth. Statistics show that the average article on Page 1 of Google is around 1,200 to 1,500 words.
If your topic is thin, add an "FAQ" section at the end to answer common questions related to your keyword.
5. Image SEO (The Hidden Traffic Source)
Don't just upload a photo.
Rename the file: Instead of IMG_567.jpg, rename it lodpost-seo-tips.jpg before uploading.
Use Alt-Text: If Lodpost allows, add a description to the image containing your keyword.
6. The "Social Signal" Boost
Google looks at how many people share your link to decide if it's "valuable."
Immediately after publishing, share your link on X (Twitter), Pinterest, and LinkedIn.
High initial traffic from social media tells Google to crawl and index your page faster.
