Don’t be a lazy blogger
If you are a blogger then you know the importance of writing blog posts. You probably also know that you need to do some sort of SEO tactics to help people find your blog using search engines like Google and Yahoo!. But are you doing the right things? Are you doing enough? Don’t be lazy about your blogging because if you are going to do it, make it worth your time.
Let me give you a few pointers on some of the things you should be doing when writing a blog post that will increase your search engine optimization, organization, and reader friendliness. These aren’t things I read out of a book or wrote down in a seminar. These are things that I have collected over my last 6 years as a web developer.
