    Hey everyone,

    I am going to start a blog and utilize wordpress. I was wondering were exactly does one put his or her keywords on a blog? I know the title and url. If my content is changing daily via new posts, how does one use keywords?

    also how many key words should someone use...one phrase, two phases?

    please help

    "All in one SEO" for wordpress lets you fill in your meta tags on the edit page and works nice.

    All-In_One SEO plugin is a must for Wordpress SEO. Also try to interlink posts on the blog so that older ones still get link juice as they fall off the front page of the blog. It's usually a good idea to increase the number of posts showing no the home page to about 10 as well.

    Once i get everything on the up and up I will dive into seo and wordpress customazation. from what i have read about seo though, it says you main keywords should be found at the begining of your page.....so i guess my question is really, new posts are automatically filed at the top of the page, does every post have to be keyword rich?

    Secondly, when attemting to rank highly and drive traffic i have read that not only should be consistent with my content, but also write articles to submit to article directories...at the end of these articles i " backlink" to my site.......should i back link directly to my homepage....or to specific posts and allow the users to find there way to my main page?

    I have also read it is importent to "perma-link" my blog posts....from what i can tell this means that instead of having: post1, post2,post3,post4 and as new content is submitted it takes the place of post1 and then bumps the rest down, a perma link will give each post a unique url that will never change, is this correct?

    I am thinking I want to advertise with Google adsense, and two affiliate marketing banners..... the situation is that i dont want to blog to look like spam, is there way to keep adsense on all the time...and rotate the two different affiliate banners? so each time the page loads the user is presented with a differnet banner.

    i think this is all my questions for now, thank you so much in advance for you help.
