Saturday Speedlinkin III
Ok. So it’s not Saturday! But you can blame Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for that one. That game is still just so amazing. Making it worse is that the 200.6% or whatever is an achievement for the 360. (If you don’t have any idea of what I’m talking about just ignore the preceding).
So anyhoo, sorry that I’m a day late on the new speedlink post but I promise I’m gonna gonna get back on track here to start September right!

I really liked the keyword suggestion tool. I am updating the titletags on all of my posts, each titletag will have it’s own main keyword. I have read that the most important place to put a keyword is in each posts titletag. We will see! Tish’s picture looks great, she is very pretty and Mike is a great artist. Problogger, I cannot stand him, only because he’s so huge and he doesn’t reply to comments. If I am going to analyze every comment I leave based on financial gain, I wouldn’t have any fun at all. Great post and very useful!!!!!

@Bobby - Glad to see ya Bobby! I hope all is well. *nod* Yeah, even though there are only three highlighted posts on this one, I felt pretty strongly about them.
So since you brought up the keyword suggestion tool, are you using an SEO plugin for your blog?
Mike is a great artist but I don’t know that he had to that much work to make Tish’s picture really look good. (#);)
And yes, isn’t it a bit maddening that some of the biger bloggers don’t reply?

Yes, I use the all in one seo. It has taken a few months to learn how to use it. In one month my Alexa dropped from 270,000 to 191,000.
I like seo expert from: http://www.jimwestergren.com/
He really is an expert and I like Courtney Tuttle.com. Courtney is one badass blogger. Check my new post. Tuttle says you should get 100-500 links to every post, and he does. I am trying it out:)

@Bobby - Great googly moogly. 100-500 links for every post!? I gotta read up on that! I mean, I’m lucky if I get ONE trackback!

Well, I have since changed my feelings about Pro Blogger. He came by and left some comments for me, they were very nice and he is a pretty cool guy afterall. I’m going to trackback to this post as I think all in all they are related in an unusual way. Have a great day!

@Bobby - Glad to hear that about ProBlogger. Though I don’t remember him replying to too many comments on problogger.net, I do seem to remember stopping by a site or two and dropping some comments.
