For those that don’t know, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is (supposedly) a methodology to use to make sure your blog is found by search engines like Google.
Here’s a secret: Unless you put up a robots.txt file to block them, Google will find your blog, period.
Knowing this, it seems to me like the best SEO strategy in the world is nothing more than a misbegotten strategy to game the system.
My advice? Don’t bother.
The best SEO is unique content. Seriously. I don’t use any grand SEO techniques whatsoever. Go to Google and search for “vbscript wake on lan”. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
As I write this, my post, “A VBScript ‘Wake on LAN’ Project,” is the second result you’ll see.
How much attention do I pay to SEO? None, zip, zero, ziltch, nada.
Unique content is the best way to be found, period.
If you want to be found among a sea of sheep, go ahead and let SEO rule your day. If you want to be known for what you have to say, be unique.
