Tip #4 - Write ForYour Visitors As Your#1 Priority
Not Search EnginesWhile you should be optimizing your postsand your blog for search engines, and I talkabout this later, your main focus should beon writing for humans, not bots.Keep this in mind always. Don't try andrepeat your keywords all over your blogposts to the point where it does not makesense.This might work sometimes for search engineranking and you may get some extra traffic,but they won't stay long if the content isobviously geared for search engine ranking.People have a short attention span and won't waste it on junk.
