Ask HN: How important is SEO for a blogger?
For those of you that write blogs, how much do you optimize or care about SEO?
- 147 14y agoSince I just started the blog for my new startup about a week or two ago, I'm focusing on targeting some long tail keywords to get initial traffic. I don't optimize the blog for SEO though, I let Wordpress handle all of that for me.
