SEO Tips for Author Blogs
Tom Masters of the Future Perfect Publishing Blog has an interview with Wiley authors Jennifer Grappone and Gradiva Couzin who give some great SEO tips for bloggers.
Every author should be blogging, and the interview includes several great tips every blogger should take advantage of.
One tasty morsel includes a link to some great SEO plugins for WordPress Ill be trying out later this week, and of particular interest was their thoughts on the social web as it pertains to SEO:
If you’re successful at building truly buzzworthy content, then you can try to use the social web to your advantage. It helps to know what you want to get out of the social web before you put a lot of effort into it: Are you going for pure branding? If so, set up a branded MySpace page or upload your logo-stamped videos to YouTube. Are you trying to be recognized as an expert on an techie topic? If so, seed your content into Digg. Are you trying to sell refurbished drill bits to manufacturing clients? Yeah… Web 2.0 probably shouldn’t be your highest priority.

Nice to see more advice on SEO that does not just talk about the usual stuff. On page and off page links. This is a good example on how SEO works well with social media optimization.
That is nice way of making your site more search engine feeding
I see some really good tips of seo linking and i am going to use some of them for my site.
