SEO and Blogging Basics- Why SEO Works

Blogging and SEO are inseparable. The blog is perhaps the defining website content, and blogs cover every imaginable subject on Earth. The trouble is that low grade SEO, or non-existent SEO in many cases, is an own goal for blogs. If people can’t find your blog, how do you expect to get read? SEO is a logical approach to a basic online issue, and it’s more of a science than anything else these days.

Perfect Math
Tonight I watched Proof. Before I got a computer I watched movies all day long while reading books. Now a chance to watch a movie comes few and far between. And because it does and it is one of my favorite things to do is veg out for hours and watch a movie, it gives my mind a chance to look at my work from a little perspective. The work I had been looking at with a microscope for weeks at time. If I can get far enough away for a little while, the answer will come.
What “Sandra Bullok” Taught Me About Building Links Through Email

This is a guest post by Brandon Hopkins
When I first got the email from “Sandra Bullok” I was excited. Did she want me opinion on Jesse James? Was she looking for a movie recommendation? Did she want my opinion on Beiber??
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the real Sandra Bullock, just a spammer. However, for the record I think Beiber gets a bad rap!
Visual Thinking
I have been writing in journals and drawing these, as well as working on my sites, of course. But I have been hard at work. So I write intricate descriptions of site plans and have started keeping a journal just for diagrams, doodles and random thoughts. But the writing has been active writing. Writing and then doing with no time to edit it into something readable for my blog before I have a chance to test it. All I really want is a site that thinks for itself.

A Few Updates to My Lists for Building Backlinks
- Image via Wikipedia
I haven’t been posting for a couple weeks but I have been working on things. Here are some updates to my lists. There may still be some sites that don’t belong, but all are valid urls now. And they all have PageRank and Alexa Rank numbers now. The increase of sites in each is approximate since I really wasn’t paying attention:
- I added about 70 free blog hosts to my free blog host list
- I added about 300 bookmarking sites to my bookmarking site list

And here are some similar phrases that I put in the same basket:
- “We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality.”- George Bernard Shaw
