Hi Leah, I’m Jessa’s friend Erin. I wanted first to say that this is a great blog.

And second — this post is excellent. This is exactly what I try to explain to people who still give me grief for leaving LiveJournal 2 years ago. “Oh my God, why would you leave? HOW COULD you leave?”

Because it was starting to get embarrassing when my writing professors at college were asking, “Hey, do you have a blog?” and I had to hand over a LiveJournal URL.

I love having my own domain and I’m just going to point people to this post next time I get asked that question, because you summed it up perfectly.

I do consider myself a bit of an expert on the topic of SEO and may be able provide more insight on the value SEO could have for well-structured content on the pages of a blog.

For starters, blogs are integrated with the ability to syndicate, or send out, notifications and content to other websites and search engines. By doing a little planning before posting, one could essentially see a nearly instant impact to traffic thanks to this “feed” of data.

Google “content tracking spreadsheet” to find my post at SEOExpert.tv on how to analyze good keywords, organize them into a Content Tracking Spreadsheet and track attributes included in each page of content (such as title tags, meta tags, headings, file names, and so forth).

I also wrote an ebook on the topic at SEOBlogOptimization.com if you’re interested.

Based on my analytics from the two blogs I run, I’m driving over 15k unique visits per month thanks to keywords people used to find the content I’ve written.
