If you are just starting out blogging and are looking forward to earning a living this way, you will usually read or be instructed to insert your keywords in the title of your post and then to insert your keywords into the first sentence and then again in the first paragraph beyond the first sentence and then in every other paragraph. You will be warned though not to use your keywords to often to avoid what is called “Keyword Stuffing” ………………… whatever. Surely this can’t be the path to successful SEO or blogging; to mangle your post with distracting keyword obstructions.
I was noticing the other day the great growth in the readership of my articles when something caught my eye. It was a single post that was read at a very odd time of the day, which probably meant that it was grabbed by a bot or spider. Just out of curiosity I thought I would run a Google on the post to check out the results. Sure enough there it was. The thing that caught my attention was that the post was indexed by the WordPress Software “Title” of the post, and not by the “All In One SEO Pack” Plug-In.
I usually like to use a “hook” for my WordPress Software title and than use my keywords for the Plug-In. However, this is not always a good idea. You should always remain vigilant and not get careless or sloppy with your Titles or Keywords as this is really a very important part of building your following. If you add too much confusion, your following will suffer. I believe the idea is to build or grow a following as soundly and quickly as possible.
The most prudent method is to stay on-point most of the time with your WordPress Titles and always on-point with your SEO Plug-In. I wouldn’t worry to much about using the keywords in your post or I should say repeated use of your keywords in your post and don’t forget to use bold type with your keywords. And watch your Meta Tags, no more than five or six per post.

Yes, after 5 months of blogging I find someone who thinks the way a blogger should think. Keywords are a good thing but let’s not forget the reader and what is going to make sense to him/her.

Good Morning Glynis,
Oh Glynis, I think I’m beginning to love you!!!!!!!!
The above post you just commented on was just placed within the “featured content” area just yesterday.
As you can see it is dated December 12, 2009.
Back in January, it was determined that Bloggers Market needed a face lift; (right before you became a reader I think) you can see the old Bloggers Market here at this link, and during that process I had a bad, bad database break. I had all the information, I just could not move it. So the editors here and I sat down and discussed the monumental task of moving all of the content or maybe just letting it go. Very few use the archives so there was talk about just scraping it. However, I still had the “Bloggers Market Archives for 2009″ and 2010 that I put out as PDF downloads, so I still had to go through all the material. So we decided to press on and restore the material. You’re the first one to read and comment on the older material, lifting our spirits that this was not an ill conceived idea.
Most of the material however has yet to be moved. All categories have been restored except for Jeffrey’s Corner. Most of this missing material was within the “Jeffrey’s Corner” section of the Blog. That is where most of the action took place for the first 18 months here at Bloggers Market. I’m still probably looking at another two weeks of work!
Thank you from all of us here at Bloggers Market for your comment!
