Search engine optimization - SEO, website traffic

I was cruising around today looking for ways to help you and me get more traffic to our blogs. I ran across Seth Godin’s blog. He has posted 54 ways to get traffic to your blog. Seth Godin is a master, I know, but it seems his list contradicts itself every other number. For example he says don’t blog about your kids, then a couple items down the list he says blog about your kid.

Makes me wonder, again, if it really comes down to just blogging about whatever makes you feel good. I think there is a huge amount of Law of Attraction in blogging. The other day I posted about Weaning a high needs toddler, it’s something I’m currently dealing with, and didn’t know where I should even begin. Later that very same day I searched over at mothering.com and instead of searching that site it searched google. There was my post, #2. I didn’t look for good keywords, or do any of the other technical stuff I usually do, and there it was within a couple hours, top of Google.

I’m not saying not to do all the keyword searching, and making sure you are relevant, but what Seth’s post told me, is it’s kind of a crap shoot. Do this, don’t do this, it all works if you work it.

I don’t know if that’s right, but it’s what it said to me. What do you think? I’d love to hear what you think of Seth Godin’s list of how to get more traffic.
