Great post, man! I've been using Yoast for quite some time now to have a tool for keywords and to change my meta description. I recommend that Wordpress plug-in to anybody.

Another aspect of SEO many people forget or have a hard time dealing with is backlinking. It's an important part of increasing your ranking in search engines. I try to backlink to my site when I write post on Steemit, and I've seen people do it on Medium too. I wonder how much using either site helps SEO ranking?
