- Build a keyword list as you’re writing posts. Some blogging applications have a “keywords” plugin that automatically identifies relevant keywords in a post – this can be useful for this purpose.
- Use the “del.icio.us tags” plugin to automatically convert a post’s keywords into del.icio.us tags.
- Include keywords in post titles, headers and hyperlinked text. Also include keywords in meta tags and page titles.
- Include keyword-optimized text links within posts that lead back to relevant pages of your website. These text links should include keywords relevant to the page being linked to.
- Include keywords in blog category names and include a header on category-specific pages with the category name.
- Include keywords, separated by hyphens, in URLs.
- Include keywords related to each post in the alt attributes for that post’s image whenever it makes sense and link each image to the permalink page for that post.
- Hyperlink post titles to the permalink page for that post.
- Obtain links from other bloggers – ask to be added to their blogrolls.
- Include buttons for multiple social bookmarking sites at the end of each post.
- Claim your blog at Technorati (if you haven’t already) and add a Technorati button at the end of each post.
- Submit blog/RSS feed to blog and feed search engines, e.g. blogs.botw.org, blogsearchengine.com, and blogsearch.google.com/ping
- Make separate RSS feeds available for specific categories, recent posts only, etc.
