Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the hot button topics right now and there is a lot of discussion about it. For some, just the thought of worrying about SEO causes a sick feeling to overcome them. And it shouldn’t. Search engine optimization is not something you or I should be scared of. In fact, it is not impossible for us to do and because of that, we need to be looking at SEO every time we draft a blog post.
Why do I Need to Worry About WordPress SEO
- Search Engine Optimization, commonly called SEO means just what it says. We need to optimize not only our entire site for maximum search engine placement. We need to make sure we optimize each blog post too.
- Not being found in a search conducted by one of our possible visitors is really the same as our blog not existing at all. In other words, we need to make sure we are being found in the search engines when someone is looking for topics we are writing about.
- Keep in mind there is a direct correlation between the link structure of a blog, its content, and whether or not site pages will rank well in a search. What? Exactly, keep reading.
- The questions we have and the answers we need about WordPress SEO are really not being answered by the generic SEO courses available right now. In fact, there is almost nothing out there that thoroughly addresses the needs of a person who is both new to SEO and who is using a WordPress self-hosted blog, until now.
- A new study course to teach WordPress SEO will be available on January 7th, 2009 and I am under lock down on how much information I can provide about it. What I can tell you. I have read it and listened to the audio and seen the videos. I have been blogging for 4 years and there was a ton of stuff on it I did not know. In fact, I have already started to do some of the suggestions on my own blog and my traffic has increased.
- More free SEO information and information on the home study course will become available over the next few days. And as soon as it becomes available to me, I will release it here on Blog For Profit. Subscribe to our RSS or by email so you don’t miss this valuable SEO information. This is the kind of information you can use to reach the goals you set for your blog this year. Actions you can take.
Be watching for more details tomorrow.
