For some reason I was mixing up CEO with SEO and I thought SEO had to do with business marketing stuff, so I skipped over all the places where I saw it before.

So far I don’t have an important site that I want to be found, but it’s an interesting concept, the tips make sense.

Sure it’s a good sign. If people are already coming in through Google, maybe you can get them to come back, too.

Some ideas:
1) Make your RSS feed more obvious (do you know that you have one? I use it).
2) Ask for feedback from your viewers. (You do this sometimes).
3) If they are not anonymous and have a blog, you can visit their sites, too.

Anyone else have ideas for Batya?

I don’t understand the tech stuff, but I do know that a high percentage of my hits are via google. Is that a good sign?

Michelle, ramblingwoods in Google goes straight to your blog. So you do list (meaning, Google picks up your blog)! But it doesn’t mean you have to go into business.

Hope to write my Nature’s Notes post tomorrow. On the “to do list.”

I don’t list with a search engine as it doesn’t matter as I am not in business, but this is great information Leora

AscenderRisesAbove, because your art speaks so well! Too bad a search engine doesn’t know that. Maybe you need to eat a thesaurus of descriptive words, and regurgitate a few a day.

Ilana-Davita, if your site is hosted by WordPress.com, then most of the code is generated by them. I’m not sure if all the hanging

tags (and div tags) are what you wrote or from their code. Not closing an tag is probably your own code. You could fix that one. It tells you exactly on what line in the code there is a problem.

Of course, if you are doing this for business purposes, you are probably better off paying a professional to get your coding right.

Also, it is not clear how much Google actually penalizes for faulty code. The no DOC type is a big no-no, however.

I don’t know if many visits helps Google ranking. I’ve never read that anywhere.
