You really must have some strategies on writing articles, but not all of them are successfull. And now I’ll try to write down some software techniques how do I optimize my blog for web search.

1st offer: add All in one SEO pack if You use Wordpress. This is a nice widget with good SEO preferences, like META rewriting, keyword customizations and other, which are not included in Wordpress by default.

After installing ALL in One Seo try to customise .htaccess file (for nicenames with post titles – in Dashboard -> WP Settings -> Permalinks). It is a very strong technique and helps to be found on the web.

And the third main technique  - WP Super Cache widget. It creates static HTML pages from Your posts and saves them to server. Google and other bots find these pages very quickly and cache, which is very usefull in searching. Rewrite time, refresh intensity and other post options and much more setup preferences are included.

After You make these updates please take a cup of tea and wait for the first user from search engine in stats :)

Till this moment I don’t know the topic, the words I publish and I don’t even know the sentences I write. And now the question:

Does this mean that I don’t know anything and I will not finish my article ?

No. This means that this post is just finished.

Start blogging when you feel open minded. When You have the Great Knowledge inside Your head, You will write the same blog as milinions of bloggers. Try to relax while writing, otherwise emotions can harm clearness of Your words.
