Key pointers include:
- Permalink Structure
- Keywords In Content
- Header Tags
- Install the Meta tag description and UTW plugins
- Related Posts
- Use Sitemaps
- Use proper HTML Tags
- Build Backlinks
- Ping Other Sites Automatically when you Update your Blog
- Spread the Word
Some of the pointers are fairly basic, but it does a nice job of covering sometimes quite diverse elements in a single place. Also nice to see a list of core Ping services to use.
