You might be all up on SEO without having the right content or remembering to spend enough time driving in traffic. I think the most important thing to concentrate on is good content, everything else will follow in time... <em>Jay's last blog post..<a href='http://www.munny4hunny.com/2008/02/get-paid-to-blog-with-smortycom.html' rel="nofollow">Get paid to blog with Smorty.com</a></em> It’s difficult to balance all the things you need to make a great blog - it’s like a one man business where you are responsible for design, content, vision, and marketing… You might be all up on SEO without having the right content or remembering to spend enough time driving in traffic.

But it does such a good job of being a sounding board for my ideas, that I am reluctant to change it from my online memo pad.

I wouldn't just post about Britney Spears or whatever on this site. But thanks for pointing that out. I guess I could have been more clear. It's funny, this post was sort of written for myself just to express how I was feeling and yet it's getting the most insightful comments. Very cool.

The post seems to lean toward finding out what key words are popular and using that to choose post topics; that's unlikely to work very well for obvious reasons: you aren't going to be an expert in an area or have some special insight into a topic or whatever makes a blog post special or compelling just because there are a lot of searches for that term. Note that SurveyBlogger talks about looking for the popular keywords RELATING TO THE TOPIC S/HE ALREADY WANTS TO WRITE ABOUT. It's a world of difference, and an important one. <em>Tiffany's last blog post..<a href='http://rockstories.blogspot.com/2008/02/publishing-pitfalls-for-parents.html' rel="nofollow">Publishing Pitfalls for Parents</a></em> SurveyBlogger made an important point here that distinguishes what s/he said from what this post seems to be saying.

The most effective skill that I have learnt is SEO, little on page tweaks and a few backlinks can make a hell of a difference to your ranking and income.
