SEO Smart Links Plugin: Be careful when you use single-word keywords to pass internal link juice. You may end up with too many “unintended” internal links. This plug in is really cool and takes the pain out of manually linking across pages with the right anchor text. You just need to plan the “keyword, URL” pairs, which you must do when you “SEO” a site. Also, for the target URL use some variations of the keywords also, making sure you do get more links from the target keyword (say 75% from target keyword and 25% from keyword variants). This should get you better results. |

Lots of designers get rich by simply not bothering with SEO considerations at all. I’ve recently had to break the news to yet another enquirer that her Flash site, all one long, long movie, can’t be properly optimized and will remain largely invisible to the engines unless we break it down into individual shorts on separate pages, costing, well, rather a lot. Perhaps not surprisingly there are no audible or visible signs of contrition from the designer. |

I like the post. My comment would be that Twitter is very useful. SEO and Twitter: This is some cool stuff that really works. You can beat you head to register on a bunch of crappy directories (I’ll help you do that on the cheap, email me.) or you can get creative and establish a some easy to come by natural links. My experience with Twitter shows it is possible. |
