Good SEO starts with great writing, but some techie tips help too

Rahaf Harfoush sat down to chat with Lee Odden recently about tips and tricks of SEO — Search Engine Optimization – Toprank’s CEO shares tips and Tricks.  Some days I feel like I’m up to my neck in SEO.  Helping bloggers with titles, tags, categories.  Always looking and improving what I think are the “right” things to do.

Lee mentions it in the interview that good, compelling writing is the first step to increasing your blog’s traffic.  I couldn’t agree more, in fact I think good, compelling write helps SEO because as you flex your writing muscles and write descriptively, you naturally use a lot of different keywords in the post.

Well, you should anyway.

This isn’t going to be one of those awe inspiring posts though.  My brain seems to have gone on strike tonight (happens), but one article that really caught my meager attention today was Sarah Perez’s discussion—thesis that maybe we’re doing social media wrong.

Tomorrow I’ll mull and riff on that post, tonight I just can’t, maybe call it pre-reading.
