# 3. Blog Essentials - Font Size and Style

# 3. Blog Essentials - Font Size and Style

Most web designers agree that a 12-14 pt font is best. You can use up to 3-4
different font sizes throughout your blog. More than that and it looks
junky.

When choosing a font style, keep it simple and avoid the fancy fonts. Know
that not all computers can display all fonts. Choose fonts that are
considered "Web Font Safe." These are available on most computers.

Examples of Web Font Safe fonts are: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, Geneva and
Veranda. These fonts are san-serif, fonts that do not have little hooks or
serifs on the end of the letters. Not having these hooks makes it easier to
read the text on our computer monitors.

Have you noticed? I have the "hooks" at the end of each letter. The hooks
almost make the lettering look like script. I knew something was off but not
until I was researching material for this blog did I realize what the
problem was.

So with my next blog you will see san-serif fonts with the help of my
virtual assistant. With the purchase of the Pro Blog Academy modules, I
received 40 hours of free "virtual assistance" as a bonus!

If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

Off-Page Search Engine Optimization

Publishers cannot directly control off-page ranking factors. These factors include inbound links, social channel activity and online customer reviews. Inbound Links: When other sites link to yours, your website shows up higher in search results. You can measure how many inbound links you currently have at www.opensiteexplorer.org . Once you collect this data, consider taking these actions: . Scan your highest-authority inbound links for opportunities to create more similar links. . Scan your competitors' highest-authority inbound links. Can you get those links too, or do they provide ideas for getting similar links? . Inbound links from non-profit (.org) and education (.edu) sites are especially valuable. Do you have any? Should you have more from your friends and partners in these realms?

On-Page Search Engine Optimization

On-page search ranking factors are those that are entirely within the website publisher's control. In other words, it's the content you place on your webpages. Content: You must keep your content fresh with regular updates on all pages. When other sites link to yours, your website shows up higher in search results. You can measure how many inbound links you currently have at www.opensiteexplorer.org . "Evergreen content" was a trendy term in the SEO world for a while, which meant certain content can be relevant and timely year after year, so you can utilize it over and over. For example, every winter you likely post information about your winter tire specials and vehicle winterization services, so why not just flip the same information up there and be done with it? This is a lazy approach to marketing. Put some thought and effort into all of the information that goes onto your website and you will see the results, such as longer page ...
