Are you ever curious how to get your blog to show up better for keywords that you may want to be found for? Well it is actually quite simple on one level and intricately detailed on another. For the basic blog, all you really need to do is adjust your Permilinks options to create a static URL structure.

You will probably only want to do this if you have a new blog, otherwise you will loose all of your positions because you won’t have anything on your previous URLs because they will no longer exist. It would take you a couple months to rebound.

Once that is completed, you need to find out what keywords people use to search for what you want to be found for. Sound simple enough? Well if you don’t have keyword research software you can just try to think of how you might search for what you do. Then write a whole bunch of post using those keywords or search terms as your titles. Your blog will probably pull the title into the filename and the Page Title so it does a lot of the work for you.

Once that is accomplished, you will want to submit your stories or post to a number of locations such as digg.com and technorati. There are tons of places that you can submit to but you just have to do a little research on that one.

Well that is the quick simple explanation… I don’t want to go into too much detail at this point because I am writing a couple other posts that will contain the business blog optimization which will go into the intricately detailed approach to blog optimization.

Thanks,
