11 Professional Blogging Secrets (for Barcamp Nashville 2010)

Editor's Notes

  1. You can't choose one over the other. Search = great SERP, poor readership. Readers = poor SERP, but loyal fans.
  2. Title First 4 keywords Only KW in anchor text Spiders don't know punctuation
  3. Was going to use this photo
  4. The lesson here is NOT to appease the Swedes
  5. Local + keywords
  6. Twitterlive.NET
  7. Twitterlive.NET
  8. Twitterlive.NET
