How not to: SEO your Blog
Posted On Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at at 7:18 PM by IshanFor those who do not know, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. Search Engines are good source of traffic. But they need to crawl your content. Make this job easy for their Spiders and enjoy traffic. However, I am a white hat and will discuss the same. Black-hats, find some other site. What? You are not a black hat! OK, read on.
Close your eyes when choosing titles.
As simple as it sounds, close eyes when choosing your post title. Something catchy will never make visitors stay on site. Never! Search engines prefer you to include at least one keyword in every post. But do you want to? No! OK, leave keywords.
Update once a year
or better, never. Updating plays important role in getting noticed. Stick to your schedule. Search engines love "live" web-sites. But beware, regular updating does not mean quality degradation. Maintain a balance between quality and quantity. Both are important.
Blog Directories are Rubbish
This attitude will soon get you blog to blog junkyard if there is one. Get your blog listed in every blog directory. When spiders notice your site address on many famous locations, they will soon index your page. To start with, there are links to blog directories somewhere here on this page ( not to your right! I kid! I kid! ). They are pretty good and can get a healthy traffic to your blog.
Manual Submission
Most search engines let you submit your blog manually. I can not mention all the adresses in this space, However here is address for Google.
