A little SEO is worth it, whether or not you know what you're doing. You can read the free stuff on SEOMoz to get a good idea of best practices. Essentially, SEO is a way to showcase your content so it's more obvious to search engines that your site is about whatever it's about. That means: * Fresh content. * Titles and subtitles relevant to what you're talking about (no "mystery meat" headlines -- if you're writing about website usability, say "Website usability," not "The business mistake that could cost your customers"). * A reasonable amount of self-promotion: if you know what you've written could help someone, tell them so; if you see a blog that you like, ask to write a guest post. * In every online interaction, make sure people see that you know what you're talking about -- and make it clear that for the good stuff, they have to pay.
