There is a lot of discussion on the web about how to get into the highest ranks in the search engines. Link building, using the right keywords, all of that. But there is more to SEO than you might realize. At the end of the day, if you’re content isn’t up to scratch, then all the links in the world won’t help you.

6) 6 Things I Wish I Knew About Blogging 4 Years Ago – ViperChill
Any time that you take and apply blogging advice from me, you’re trusting someone who has created a number of blogs that failed miserably. But, even though I said I wouldn’t trust someone with marriage advice who has been divorced three times (they couldn’t learn after the second one?) I think the best people to trust are those who have made mistakes, learned from them, and then went on to success.

7) How to Keyword Stuffing Without Stuffing Keywords – FamousBloggers
I read with interest the article by Clifton Hatfield where he mentioned keyword stuffing is one of the 5 Out-of-Date SEO Strategies.

First of all your article will not go popular automatically once you submit it on Digg.com. If you are a power user (e.g., a Digg user with many friends, who participates actively in the community and have sent many stories to the front page in the past), then you’ll probably get a good amount of votes right after the submission, but even in this case it usually takes from 10 to 20 hours to get the story promoted the front page, provided the story is a good one and matches the interests of the Digg users.

10) The Art Of Reading To Become An Amazing Blogger – HowToMakeMyBlog
For starters, make sure whatever you do you’re not only reading blogs. While that should be an important part of your strategy, just reading blogs results in stale blog posts. It’s well known ideas are bounced around the blogosphere like an echo chamber. Reading books and magazines stimulate ideas and angles that aren’t showing up on every other blog, which makes you stand out.

Personal Ramblings

I’ve just completed and submitted 2 of my assignments and done a test today too, so I’ll be a little bit free right now and I could take time to complete several tasks on my hand, personal and blogging stuff. Also, I came back from dinner with my girlfriend and her family, we also went for shopping in IKEA and we had our supper too.

Other than these, finally I got my own car right now which my parents drove it up from my hometown to the place I stay right now, they took 3 hours to reach here. I thanked my dad and I felt happy to meet them up too. I’ll take a photo for my car and share it here when I get a chance.
