Search Efforts

What are the best blog SEO and traffic tips?

I am wanting to start blogging full-time, in order to drive traffic to my website, however am stuck with how to optimize and increase my blog search traffic! What are the best SEO, traffic and exposure tips for bloggers, and are there any online companies that specialise in offering search marketing solutions to bloggers? I'm especially wanting to save time and money (in order to concentrate on my blogging and not my blog marketing!). I would appreciate any opinion or response! Cheers

2. I am sure everyone can earn full time from blogging. It's just the first steps that are difficult as is the same as any other businesses. Here are my answers for your question. 1. Use blogger platform if you want to be listed in search engines fast. 2. Blog the topic you are expert in. If you have many topics, divide them into categories. Know what is the keywords you wish to focus on. 3. Always update with a lot of relevant content. I would say update it daily. Content is the king. 4. Submit your blog to RSS directories when you have build up your content volume. 5. It is also good that you tap on the social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, digg, furl, squidoo, stumbleupon, reddit, just to name a few. These are the latest trend in web now. 6. When you think your blog is decent enough with good content, now is the time to move out and contact other bloggers with similar topic as yours. Link building here is the key. It will shoot you up the search engines if you link properly. I am sure there are companies doing that. Just do a search or visit some article directories for details. That's my take for your question. Do visit my blog, http://web2007.wordpress.com Cheers! :) Jackie R.
