Solution
The landscape of SEO has changed a great deal in the last couple of years. Now you can’t impress Google bots by simply adding some tags or acquiring some dofollow links.
SEO is not confined to search engines or online world only. It has extended to offline or real world too. Now offline brand building is the best SEO you can do to your beloved blog.
So, what should you do?

When your readers become happy few great things happen:
1. Time on site/web-page increases.
2. They don’t bounce-back to search results.
3. They share your posts in their social circles.
4. They bookmark your blog, and become frequent visitors.
