I was interested in slow cooker recipes, as I have one but only use it for potlucks and school fundraisers. Scrolling around your articles I was delighted to find your posts on blogging in general. I've been blogging for over a year but have not paid attention to search engines and optimizing them. Thank you so much for sharing information on delicious and technorati. You've been most helpful and kind to share this info. I just discovered your blog and immediately subscribed.

My husband is helping me but I have felt really confused about blogging. You mention engaging in a community-my blog is about pilates and very few fun, informative blogs about pilates exist. SO, I am not sure how to deal with that. To be honest, your crockpot blog and the automatic earth are the only blogs I read regularly....Do you have any suggestions? The whole "writing for engines" was really mysterious to me-I am not opposed to it-just have no understanding of it so I thank you so much for this series!!! Please if you feel up to it, continue this series. I am using your blogs as a model for my own (even though the topics are not the same!). peace in the New Year!

I claimed my blog on there. I also have the ClusterMaps ap that shows me geographically where people are from. I can't believe my little blog has had visitors from China, Russia, India and lots of other places! But I can't figure out where to find the info on who has linked to my site... ??? Maybe I'm not all the way done with the claim thing yet (though I posted that code thingy and it found it) I have heard of technorati before but didn’t bother checking it out until I read this post.

I stumbled upon some of this knowledge on accident by giving blogs titles that were quirky movie lines or something. I have people from all over the world come to read my blog, "She rubs the lotion on her skin or else she gets the hose again." I always forget to tag my posts, but I need to. Thanks for this! And enjoy your 4th! This is awesome advice! I stumbled upon some of this knowledge on accident by giving blogs titles that were quirky movie lines or something.

When I started my blog last year, I did a lot of research on blog traffic. I don't get a million hits...yet...but I've done a lot of things you've suggested, and it's true. I can't believe how many people find my posts through search engines now. It's very cool. Slowly, but surely, I'm building my readership. Sandy I love this series.

I just claimed my blog on technorati. I had no idea I should do that, and I'll be sharing that info with other blogging friends. I have picked up on some of the things I should write on from the keywords that turn up in Analytics. Of course, from that, I'm seeing the people who found my blog, I'm not seeing who searched on tons of other stuff I could have written about, but didn't. I've read the Steve Pavlina post, but will read it again and definitely will check out the other links. BTW, I've got a flourless pizza that I've promised to put up on my blog soon--probably once we get back from 4th of July. It will be another cause for celebration because you will not believe how good it is. And, it takes normal, every day ingredients! It gets rave reviews from my 21-year old son--that's a pretty good endorsement, huh? But, you can't make it in a crockpot ... well, I haven't, but knowing you, you could!! Thank you so very much for this article. It's one thing to read about search engine optimization in the abstract, but you gave some very concrete examples that were really helpful. Have a great week and wonderful 4th!! Saw your announcement on your crockpotting blog, so I'm headed there now to comment on that! :-) Shirley Wow, Stephanie–thanks!!!
