Google is rewarding my SEO effort. Some times before, I finished the 20th in my niche in Google. I complained about this in a another forum post at SitePoint. After that I decided to do some SEO stuff. 1. I validated the code. (expect the entrecard) 2. I made smarter use of headings H1, H2, H3. 3. I used an css image replacement technique, as SitePoint does. Today, I finished up the first in my niche. Here is the proof. What do you think?
There is a lot you can do for Wordpress that boosts the ranking. One thing you should do is put the title of the blog page in the title tag, and skimp on the h1 heading. Another thing that works well is linking to other sites. You should also consider clean URLs, because the dynamic ones are easy to get rid of. The template is a big part of SEO. Put the content as far up on the source as possible, and keep javascript and such at the bottom (not confirmed, but it keeps the page load faster)
Very nice! After making the plan and putting in the work, it's definitely worth it to see it all come together. Congratulations!
Do the <h1> 2, 3 headings tags really help with the search engine rankings, i had not heard of this before...
<Hx> tags are a part of a full SEO strategy and are really important. If you put emphasis on your targeted keywords with H tags it will help you get better ranking.
Good work and congratulations on your efforts! I hope you achieve continued success and an increase in traffic.
Glad to read this post. Nice work. I have been putting off doing some SEO for a while. This could be a good motivation to get it done.

Thanks everybody for the good words again. The SEO improvements listed at my post took effect in about two weeks or less.
I appreciate your work. One advice. Use this tool =>> Keyword Checker and see what people are searching and make 1st in that keyword.
