Blogging is good for search engine optimization

05.03.06

It's true. Posting regularly, with links in and out, relevant metadata (like tagging your articles) and writing good headlines all contribute to SEO or search engine optimization. Want proof? I really don't like to brag to anyone but my mother (hi mom!) but I watch my traffic logs to see where visitors come from, and most of them these days are coming in through plain old web search - not even blog search.

Check these out-
Google search for: good blogs
Google for: how to use tags
MSN search for: use of tags
MSN search for: Intro to RSS

I don't see much in Yahoo right now. So all of the above search results can and will likely change - but when I visited them they looked pretty darned good. Count search engine optimization as one more reason why blogging is a good idea.

    MK: This is not a good synch-up with this post, but I wanted to register it. You’ve talked (at least to me) about the proper use of things like del.icio.us. I just submitted my first Digg. Naturally, it was The Blogswana Project. I would be interested in reading an exploration of what is ‘acceptable’ (given a posited starting point) and what is not in these furly-diggy situations. Equally as much, I would be interested in hearing what your readers might say about it. For me, I am doing too much to do a lot of, say, digging on my own. Most of what I do is devoted to these — why did G-d make me this way? (And yes, I’m blaming H-m and yes I said H-m though I don’t really imagine he has a gender as such and yes I omitted one of the vowels although I’m not Jewish.)
