Can you tell I’m all about search engine optimization? Well, if not, then you should know that I LOVE SEO. What can I say? It’s my job, but it’s also my passion. Anyway, here are five random SEO tips that you can take away with you when you read this blog (but feel free to stick around for a while!):

1. Optimize your META tags. Your META tags determine your blog’s title, its description, and its keywords. Use primary keywords in all of these, and sprinkle some supportive keywords in both your description and keywords list.
2. Make use of heading tags. Heading tags are H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and sometimes, H6 and H7. Heading tags distinguish different sections of content from one another. Search engines will give more “weight” to keywords in heading tags than keywords that are in bolded or regular text.
3. Use keywords in ALT and TITLE elements. Add the ALT and TITLE attributes to all of your images and links, and make sure to place keywords in them.
4. Update your content frequently. Do your best to blog several times a week. Schedule posts if you know you’re going to be away, or consider accepting guest posts from interested contributors.
5. Keep up to date with what Google is up to. Subscribe to a blog like Search Engine Watch so you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when!
