Carlos, I just caught this coming through my comment admin while deleting some spam from elsewhere. Hasn’t shown up in email yet. I’ll reply via email as well.

In any case, this would make an excellent starter for a guest article!

Honestly the most important thing you can do and I would expect this to be the first recommendation from any SEO expert is to optimize the amount of URLs to be crawled, and for wordpress based sites it means always having a robots.txt excluding wp-content and wp-includes, so make sure to drop a robots.txt at the root of your site: /robots.txt with the content at the bottom of this, it will reduce a large # of violations:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /news/wp-content/
Disallow: /news/wp-includes/
Disallow: trackback
Disallow: /*favicon.ico
Allow: /

Hmm… Did not know that Microsoft has this tool. I am using Google Webmaster Tools for the moment.

This SEO Toolkit is then worth a look. It sounds pretty useful, it might be the hook–that brings all the surfers to feast on each post. The thing that all writers would ask for the most.

DiTesco! I thought you’d have picked up the pingback and been here in a jiffy! Wondered when you’d get here – but yes, better late than never.

The processing finished and I sent Jena the summary screenshot. I think her initial reaction was on a par with mine.

How did I miss this excellent post, I don’t know, but my sincerest apologize for arriving here so late. Anyway and as they say, better late than never, right.

Holly, thanks for the link love and for introducing me to Dr. Wordpress here, or should I call him Dave:) I have “flagged” him now as one of my “must read” blogs and I have this slight feeling that I will like it a lot.

I’m not sure if the processing of Jena’s blog is still on going, but the answer to her question about the SEO Toolkit working on blogger is yes. Actually, it does not have anything to do with the platform you are using. It will work on any URL.

@Jan –

SEO “optimization” decreases in importance over time. Good content floats to the top over time.

Quite a bit of the current froth in SEO is about getting content to the top of the SERPs as fast as possible, regardless of content.

That being said, given everything else is equal, properly structured text will be found and indexed more efficiently by all search engines. It’s no more difficult than learning to write for any other audience. The rules are fairly well understood, and easy to follow.
