If you have a blog then I’ve found a great video showing some of the more important stuff you need to do to optimize your blog for maximum search engine results and traffic.

and don’t worry, it’s all stuff that’s easy to do, nothing requiring knowledge of html, php or any of the other “dark mysteries”!

You can watch the video here:

I’ve gota couple of potiners on the video as well:

1. don’t worry about the “more” bit in posts, grab the post teaser plugin instead, it does it for you:

2. pay attention to the bit on Syndication feeds and using the summary option, it’s important!

3. Don’t worry too much about the comment moderation, as long as you’ve got akismet installed you don’t need to worry about this, and akismet comes with WordPress as a default plugin, so you should already have it installed.

4. and for helping on the SEO side grab THE BEST SEO plugin that there is available here:
