Another great plugin that I use is the All-in-one SEO pack. It is used for SEO automation on your blog. So what is SEO? Search Engine Optimization. What does that mean? According to Wikipedia, Search Engine Optimization is “the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results for targeted keywoards.”
So what does the All-in-one SEO pack do for you? It will automatically optimize your blog post titles. Generates META tags automatically. Avoids duplicate content and more. Overall it makes your job easier when it comes to improving your chances to be listed in search engines.
Check it out and download here.
*Also, let me point out, this is a Wordpress Plugin.

In your travels around the internet researching new things about building blogs you may have run across discussions about Googles Page Rank. The easy way to define Page Rank is like this. Google ranks each website based on its contribution, of sorts, to the internet. If your site produces a lot of traffic and links your page rank will be high.
Obviously Google.com has a PR of 10 (which is the highest you can get). One thing I will say is, the way google ranks pages is hard to understand sometimes. Each of your pages will be ranked differently and at times a page that has barely any incoming links or outgoing links will rank high. No one really knows why this is.
So its as easy as this - - > Rank high in PR and typically you will rank higher in the Search Engine. But don’t confuse this. Just because you rank high in PR doesn’t mean you will rank high in Google. See its confusing huh? Ha ha Welcome to Blogging!!!
A great way to raise your PR, comment on as many other blogs that relate to your niche as possible. That will be something I cover in more depth in an upcoming post.

Myspace, Facebook and many other Social Blogging sites are being used by millions of people for different reasons. My question to you is, why would you not want to leverage that power and opportunity? Most of you already have either a Myspace or Facebook site or both. What could you do for your blog if you leveraged the traffic you received from either of them.
This is not a new idea, and actually one that I am trying out myself. Many professional bloggers are using this as one method to generate traffic to their site. Twitter provides users with the ability to tell the world what they are doing on the fly. Using Twitter has provided me with the ability to get my blogs out to many more people than I would have originally in a shorter time frame.
Don’t let the obvious marketing tools pass you by because you think they won’t work. Try it and see for yourself.
