I have a blog (http://nortonrelease.com) which I've had since September 2006. At first it was not a blog but after a long time, I found a niche that fit the URL. How can I get this site ranked better in Google? Google crawls my site often and it only takes 2 minutes for a blog post to show up in Google search results. The problem is I am not getting the traffic I need. So I would like some tips on how I can get it ranked higher in Google. It ranks pretty high in some live.com and yahoo.com search results. But not in google. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
as for the on-site SEO you need to activate the SEO friendly URLs feature in wordpress... other than that i think you should think of what topics may be intersting for the mass audience (using google hot trends for instance ) work on your connections in the popular social bookmarking media and if you happen to post something worthwhile... send it out to people so that they bookmark it and bring it to the top
Thanks a lot for the tips. I was wondering, if I include search friendly URL's. Will it mess with those URL's that are already in the Google search database? I don't want to enable SEF URL's if it is going to completly wipe out my current standings with Google.
