Hey all, just started my first blog on a dedicated IP using wordpress. My site currently reviews a few topics (mostly based at my own demographics, 18-24 year old college students) like video games, movies, websites, etc. Site is just the blog shown in my blog feed thing, I'm 18 and a relative newcomer to the webmaster world. What should I do to go about optimizing this blog for search engines? Should the emphasis be on the site as a whole or getting each post ranked well for it's specific topic? What are the best ways to build links for a blog (assuming I can crank out some quality content on a daily basis). Thanks in advance, +rep for informative posts
the page does not fit in firefox i had to scroll right try blending in the adsense ads make ad background color same as site background
The first steps to be taken from SEO point of view when starting a blog are pretty basic. Make sure you have friendly permalinks, write a good title and description, install a SEO plugin which will allow you to write custom stuff to your posts and also make sure you write quality, unique content.
