Watch more SEO Videos Here
Lets look at the anatomy of a well optimized page.
Title Tag
You should try and optimize each page for only one keyword or phrase.
Keyword tag
Only use keywords that will actually show up as text on the page to avoid keyword stuffing.
Description Tag
Does not facture in Googles algorithm but can affect your CTR on the Search Results page.
H1
Try and use a H1 tag as close to the top of the page as possible. Use the same keyword/phrase used in the title tag.
On page optimization is the easy part of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) It really comes down to proper code structure and focusing on targeted keywords and phrases. The hard part is building links to your site. I said hard but not impossible. I will cover this topic at a later date.

Learn SEO from Sergey Brin of Google
UC Berkley has put many of their video-taped lectures online using youtube.com as their delivery platform. I found a lecture by Sergey Brin co-fonder of Google, discussing search engines and the Google Algo. He does a high-level history of search, Google’s algorithm and Adsense. This is very interesting stuff. Check out UC Berkley’s youtube page here.
This is the video:
Google’s “mission” at the beginning was, “Search for Kings.” Not to find a king, but create a product what is worthy of a king’s attention. Customer and product comes first! Love it! This is core to a successful business.
Check out the lecture below:

Making WordPress SEO Friendly URLS
I put together a short video on how to make your WordPress blog URLs search engine friendly. It’s a simple task, but can help you out tremendously in your effort to rank on the front page of the major search engines.
How it works: WordPress takes advantage of the .htacess file to do a URL re-write.
The default setting: http://www.trafficisgold.com/?p=123
