For the completely uninitiated, this is a shocker. Now I have to go and figure out how to do all these things! Thanks for this topic! For the completely uninitiated, this is a shocker.

There needs to be some market awareness involved. <strong>@KinPin</strong>: Not rocket science, but specialized attention. If someone pays attention to he specific aspects of publishing (in this case with Wordpress), it can be ptimized for effectiveness. If no one pays special attention, it is just as good as it is naturally. <strong>@Galen</strong>: Glad to hear it resonates with you. I work with professionals like yourself (writers, marketers, promotors) not just small business owners, and sometimes I think the SEO community should take stock in some of that perspective. After all, every day our work is assumed by those same professionals as they become SEO aware, right? @Barry: that’s a good idea about the headline, and partly why headlines are often written by someone other than the author.

Followed this post through Barry's Sphinn. I think both the initative and the tips above are great. As someone who manages writers charged with creating business content, with more and more of it being online via blogs, the instruction to write the excerpt first resonated with me. I've often found that if you can't craft the excerpt, writing the article or posting is going to take three times as long...and it won't be very focused. Also the reminder about the slug was great. So often we forget to check everything before hitting the post button. Better to plant some obvious reminders to get it right the first time. Hi, John. Followed this post through Barry’s Sphinn.
