Synopsis: Five tips to for blog search engine results.

Blogs are updated frequently with relevant information (or at least should be), and thus tend to gain preference in search results. With cutting edge, relevant information, blogs are often a source of inbound links. For these reasons, blogging has become an integral part of most search engine optimization strategies.

Paul Bliss offers these blogging seo tips to increase your chances of success:

Use an interesting title. Also known as linkbaiting, your title should captivate the user to read more.
Use your blog keywords in the title. While it may be hard to always do this, by keeping the title related to the topic, your blog will always be relevant.
Use H1 tags. All blog editors allow for custom templates, so be sure to stylize your blog title using H1 tags.
Link to other blogs. Find other related blogs that your readers might find interesting, and ask for a link in return.
Don't forget about your archives. You may post a topic that isn't hot at the moment, but comes up later; make sure your readers can find that posting!
