I just found an excellent resource on how to optimize your blog for search engines! It’s the first (free) resource I’ve come across that gives this kind of information for blogs. Most of the SEO articles I’ve read concentrate on websites.

You’ll find a lot of helpful plugins and advice here, so if you are trying to make money using blogs, this resource is highly recommended. Check out the
SEO for WordPress – The Complete Guide

It’s written by Jim Westergren and starts out with these important blogging facts: .

There are 55 million blogs out there, if you don’t stand out you will have no chance.

The first second of a visitor’s attention is the most crucial.

Your main traffic should come to articles and posts inside your blog, not to the home page.

Search engine rankings rely heavily upon the quality and quantity of links to your blog when they determine the ranking.

The best way to get links is by natural recommendations from other bloggers or web site owners.

I am surprised that he’s not charging for this information. It has almost as much information on plugins as I found in the Niche Marketing on Crack eBook.

If you want easy-to-use plugins that will make your site more Google-friendly, and advice on article writing, you should definitely check out this free guide.

Take some time and actually do these things. Google is going to punch us sometime soon (I hear it’s going to hurt much more than the previous “slap,”) so you might as well be ready for it!
