SEO helps your blog rank high on search engine results pages, such that you get more visitors, or traffic, directed to your blog by the search engines. The process of SEO involves the effective use of keywords and keyphrases in your blog content.
Search Engine Optimization
Below are basic SEO strategies that will optimize your blog content and help you appear higher in the search engine results which means more visitors to your blog.
Know all your keywords and keyphrases and use them effectively on your blog. The more optimized your use of keywords and keyphrases, the higher your blog will appear in the search engine results. When your blog can be found on search engines, (the higher in the results the better) it means that you will get a lot of traffic to your blog.
When designing and building your blog, make sure that your keywords and keyphrases are included in your blog headings and sub-headings.
Use only high quality, unique and fresh content on your blog. Duplicate content can result in your blog being penalized by search engines. Using only fresh and unique blog content will get you noticed by the search engines and they will list you quicker and higher in the results.
Submit your blog to blog directories both in your niche and in general directories as well. This gives your blog even more creditiblity with the search engines and will only help to increase your exposure and traffic.
Create links with other related blogs. If your blog is linked to other blogs where you would expect your target market to visit, the popularity of your blog increases. Create one way links by submitting articles and participating in relevant forums and make sure that you include your blog URL.
Blog regularly using fresh, unique content and the keywords and keyphrases for your niche. Blogging regularly activates the search engine spiders to visit your site each time you post new blog content. The more regularly you post, the more often the search engines visit, the higher you rank for your niche.
Its important to realize that the search engines want and need to satisfy their customers - and they do that by providing high quality results in response to their visitors search requests. If your blog delivers consistent, unique content, that is indexed effectively by good keyword and keyphrase usage, EVERYBODY WINS!

Is it ethical to follow people on TWITTER that don't want to be followed?
By: SimonStudio | 01-05-2008
Last night I left three of my AVATARS in loop. I lost around 85 followers.I shouldn't of let my cat try to talk me into bed. he kept on begging. I didn't realize the feed would haywire. My aliases on TWITTER are listed on my website. I'm keeping it transparent so it doesn't bite me in the ass. Eventually I assume most of you will unfollow n block me... but by that point I will have perfected the craft of puppet accounts! puppet accounts can be fed N2 a root account, where I can follow all fools that thought they could block me. there is NO blocking! the final account will take the RSS feed of multiple accounts and run it N2 one account. you will not realize the new account is me. twitter is about information, not privacy. this should scare off all the Betty eMOMs into a panopticon surveillance phobia. I realize that heirarchy is part of life's function, but as a thinking person I have to make sure my reputation has thorns. it is less important to me if you follow me or not. what is important is I can follow enemies. this is all about following people that block me. that is it. I don't care if they pay attention or not. I'm not the "BUGBLATTER BEAST" if you don't follow me, I'm still dangerous to values that have not been tried. I know u can't defeat logic. I don't know anyone here enough to know if they r enemies yet, what I do know is most people unfollow n "block" because of nothing. It could be tyranny, but I didn't create TWITTER, and if you don't like it... YOU CAN'T BLOCK me. those r my thorns. u can UNFOLLOW with the button, but if u anger me I will enter ur community n convince ur friends that ur wrong. no more BLOCKING. interesting feeds r created by those whose opinions r not popular. they block when questioned. I want in. I want 2 learn n dialogue. I know I don't have 2 like or agree 2 benefit. I love reading Nietzsche n Machiavelli. I assume they would block. my cycle last night was not intentional. I already realized it was theoretically possible. I was trying to filter it out. the idea is to cycle and control multiple avatars from a central one. not create a loop. if I can accomplish this then I can speak to those that block me. speak to the dead so to speak. theoretically I can make god speak. end result was creating a loop.Is it ethical to follow people on TWITTER that don't want to be followed?
