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.

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.
