Hi Deb, Subscribers leave lots of comments, true, but lately I've heard people saying they're cutting down on subscriptions and finding blog posts via Twitter and other media. How do you think that will play out? Thank you for the award! That is incredibly nice of you - I'm honored. Brad Shorrs last blog post..Silly Sales Wordplay - Invest versus Spend

Hi Jannie, Good questions. SEO can get very complicated, and it is indeed hard to predict how and when SEO techniques will "kick in" and get a web page on page 1 or 2 of Google. That said, the techniques do work if you have the right strategy. For example, small companies and entrepreneurs have a much better chance of rising to the top with niche (smaller volume) keyword phrases. Trying to win on the phrase "financial planning" is going to be a tall order, but winning on the phrase "financial planning single moms" - very possible to win.

Cute poem! (I like poetry a lot.) The whole SEO battle for the top always bewilders me, as let's say there are 1000 sites trying to sell the same product and come up on top of a search. That to me is Just Not Possible. You know what I mean? Or say it is even 300 sites, and I have no idea of the numbers here, I'm just throwing those out arbitrarily. There just seems to few top spots for too many clamberers. Why do people even bother I wonder? What's the trick? Jannie Funsters last blog post..Armani Condom Heart — Inappropriate?

Andrew, You’ve inspired me to begin a blast furnace blog! The niche shall be mine.

Karen, Amazing but true how quickly blog thinking has gotten locked into “traditional” patterns.

Joanna, Very good point. Was SEO performance a reason you made the switch to WordPress?

Good point - and another good reason to use WP, and then make sure you're doing the SEO bit right. Better to put the effort into that than obsessing over keywords but not having the google juice to get them found. Joanna Youngs last blog post..Audacious Faith in the Future
