2. Make sure that your keyword is present in title, description, <h1> heading and also make sure that it appears in the first paragraph and last paragraph of your content if you are following me and writing a content of 500-700 words.

Now if you a have finished your website. Try to optimize your blog. There area lot of plug-ins for SEQ optimization for wordpress so search for a plugin which is good.

Verify that the authorship is there and verified by google. You can also test your page in the google webmasters tools by going to other resources and clicking on the first option.
See that in each blog you have got a link back to your main website page.
