SEO Optimization stuff
I know there are others here who have much better knowledge about SEO Optimization, but I thought I'd post a couple of things I found as I was doing some reading today. I'm asking my own webmaster for some recommendations as well, so I may have more dribs and drabs to augment what others say. I'm wondering if we should make a separate page, in fact, with SEO tips.
SEO Checklist
This is just a simple checklist page, but it lists things to watch that would have either positive or negative influence on our blogs' Google ranking. The links to other topics, within these charts, are really useful too. But I really like the at-a-glance look of these charts.
Bad Links
This is one of the big things to watch out for, apparently. If something you linked to five months ago turns into a "bad link" (either ceases to exist or gets bought up and turned into an unsavoury site), it seems our blog rankings could go down even though that change had nothing to do with us. And it would be hard to recover our ranking, even if we corrected the situation.
This means we're supposed to check all our links periodically. Which may be a bit of a pain, but is obviously worth doing.
However! It doesn't have to be quite as onerous as it might have been. There's a place that can automatically check our sites, at least for broken links.
Dead Link check site
I used to know of one that I used regularly, but it seems to be gone now. However, the SEO site above recommends one at Dead-Links.com. You just put your own URL into the box, and it checks all your links and posts a report for you.
This is what I got from a quick read. I'm looking forward to seeing other good info from others too.
