About Eddie Gear

Eric , Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you find the questions helpful.
Hi Eddie,
This is important stuff. I am using SEO Pressor, a SEO plugin for WordPress in order to help me remember all the important SEO stuff for each post. I used to just write, and I didn’t optimize anything at all. I have seen lot of new traffic after I started focusing on SEO.
Good to hear that you are focusing on SEO now and see growth. SEO Pressor is one of the best plugins for SEO and worth the price. Remember to optimize your site as well and not just posts.
Yes, my biggest problem has been to find a keyword for my site, and not just my posts. I’m still “struggling” with this
Hi Eddie, over the last two years I have been rather ignorant to SEO and what I mean by that is I haven’t done anything special with regards to SEO keyword researching or anything. But that all changes this year as I have been focusing more with regards to picking my keywords to help me rank for my RSS Services. Thanks so much for the great questions I’m sure they will benefit me tons!

Wow that is really great Bryce. I would love to hear about what you have to offer. If you need support with SEO just drop a word and I will help you out.
All great tips. With article length I would like to add that there really isn’t a standard. It depends on the article you are writing. Some articles require exhaustive analysis so should be long, others should do fine at with 200-500 words. If you make it too long, people will get bored reading. SEO should be couple with good quality content. Otherwise, the efforts are just a waste.
Actually Reese, there is standard that Google expects. I agree with you that we need to keep in mind the readers and search engines. Keeping both of them happy is the key to your blogs success.
Very useful questions there to help in SEO analysis. Thanks for sharing.
