While I was searching for how to improve SEO, I found 10 tips on how to increase blog traffic by Markus Merz. He make a list of it and he calls it "My cooking recipe for fast SEO results". Here is the list of it :
- Clain your blog at blog services like Technorati. Fill in all keywords for every single blog.
- Ping your blog using Pingoat or Ping-O-Matic.
- User Feedburner for feed publishing
- Bookmark every article at del.icio.us.
- Use extensive tagging and keywording inside your articles and on services like del.icio.us.
- Trackback, if you write about another blog or linking to other blogs.
- Use Flickr for your photos. Link to the articles in your Flickr descriptions. Don’t forget to tag your photos.
- If using a photo from somebody else (from Flickr or other sources) for one of your articles always ask for permission and after publishing the picture add a comment with a link to your article. It is polite to add the photographer as contact and to make the used picture a personal 'favorite'.
- If you are linking to somebody, send them an email about your link. Ask them to inform you if they have something interesting for you to blog about.
- Add a link to a keyword in Wikipedia whenever possible.
