SEO is a complicated and ever shifting field: there really aren't any magic bullets.<br /><br />In fact, as social media and search becomes more integrated, even today's "rules" will change. For example, Bing and Facebook have partnered to filter searches, and a new engine called <a href="http://blekko.com/" rel="nofollow">Blekko</a> is trying to establish a new way of integrating social and search through website tagging.Michelle R.

Right now my writing style is bent: I just had my first carpal tunnel surgery on one hand. Oooo! So now I pray instead of write. But I can read your's and Vonda's blogs to glean the gold.... I'm pleased to meet you both. <br />Bill<br />CornerRetreat.blogspot.comBill Hunthttp://CornerRetreat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-17471118474322912062010-11-16T14:59:13.471-05:002010-11-16T14:59:13.471-05:00Nan, remember there are no Dumb questions! You wer...Nan, remember there are no Dumb questions! You weren't born knowing this stuff (if you were, then we definitely need to talk!). <br />It's a great question and one I should have covered. <br />A keyword isn't the label, it's what you expect your reader to put into a search engine to find your post or article. And the labels you put on the post should ALWAYS include your keyword. <br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />Thanks Sue and Vonda - I have to break things down so I can understand them and it's nice to know I'm not the only one who needs the help!Edie Melsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902312441667526147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-29873691402418979052010-11-16T13:29:55.430-05:002010-11-16T13:29:55.430-05:00Thanks Edie.

I have a question that some might consider dumb, but, here goes: Is the keyword like the labels we put in at the end of the blog when typing it or is it the word we think a potential reader might google and thus end up at our site? I thought that was the purpose of the labels.<br /><br />Thanks for helping us.Nan Joneshttp://www.jubilantlight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-61581707885363505452010-11-16T07:26:55.663-05:002010-11-16T07:26:55.663-05:00Well, Edie, you know how much all this stuff frust...Well, Edie, you know how much all this stuff frustrates me, but you've made it simple to understand.
