How to improve your blog’s SEO

Here’s a 30-minute presentation from Stephan Spencer on how to improve your blog’s SEO. (That’s search engine optimization — a fancy term for “ensuring Google likes your site and ranks it high in search results.”) His advice is most directly tuned to users of WordPress blogging software, like The New York Times.

    I checked the ranking of the websites in the powerpoint presentations and they are not on the 1st page of Google. Maybe, Mr. Spencer forgot to clean his archive when he did the ranking check – or is it me who’s missing something?
