How much does SEO help your blog? Well, supposedly the traffic coming from search engines to your blog should account for at least one-third of your daily visitors. Is that true? I’m not sure, everyone is different. But changing your meta tags and verifying you’re doing it right may help.
I recently wrote a couple posts on how to improve your SEO by adding meta tags and keywords at “Put Keywords in Blog Title to Help SEO” and “Add HTML Meta Tags to Increase your Traffic/SEO,” but the real question is – are you doing it right?
I told Brad of the Daily Rambler that I would put a link to where you can check how well your meta tags and keywords are.
If you go to VipSem, you can check if the content you’re putting into those meta tag description, title and keywords are being used correctly.
If you are not using it right, I suggest that you change it because it will make a difference.
VipSem also has a bunch of other useful tools you guys will probably be interested in too!

Thank you for considering advertising with DatMoney.com.
DatMoney.com is still fairly new but it continues to grow each and every day. Since January 2008 our numbers made an incredible jump:
Alexa: Went from the 850,000 range ranked to the current 113,711 97,095 Top 100K! (March 17) and decreasing.
Technorati: Went from 263,682 to the current 4,983 4,552 Top 5K! (March 17)
RSS Feed Subscribers: 180+ 200+ and growing
Google Pagerank: 4
Advertising here is fairly cheap so I would act now because as we continue to grow, I’m sure these prices will not last!
Currently, I have a couple of different options to choose from:
125 x 125 Ad Spot – $15.00 $20.00 USD/month (As of March 1st, 2008)
Availability: 0/4 open – SOLD OUT! Contact me to get on a waitlist.
I have four spots available on the middle column just to the right. Please email me the 125 x 125 image to whojaybe@datmoney.com. If you need someone to create a button, I can do it for a small fee.
468 x 60 Ad Spot – $30.00 $40.00 USD/month (As of March 1st, 2008)- Maximum Exposure!
Availability: 1/3 open
Currently, I will be featuring two spots right below the navigational menu (above the fold) for maximum exposure. Out of all the things you see when you first come to our site are those banners.
In addition, I will feature one right below the post. This is great for targeting ‘quality visitors’ as many people read through each of my articles and comment on them.
468 x 60 Ad Spot (in footer of post in ALL RSS Feed subscribers) – $25.00 USD/month
As my readership continues to grow, advertisers will be able to take advantage of their banners showing up in e-mail and regular RSS Feed subscribers. Again, the number is 150+ and growing. I am predicting it will be 200+ by the end of Feb. ‘08.
Text Links – $5.00 $10.00 USD/month
I have various text link spots. I will have a “Sponsored Text” section right below the 125 x 125 squares.
All ads will be published on the blog (on every page) for a 30 day period from when the ad is approved.
Currently, I only accept paypal as the form of payment. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at whojaybe@datmoney.com. Thank you.

A couple weeks ago I wrote a post “Buy Your ‘Own’ Domain Name Before You Regret It!” explaining why you should not use the free sub-domain names given to you by your blogging service.

Domain names are cheap to begin with but if it’s still out of your price range, feel free to use these promotional codes and coupons at GoDaddy.com.
The list is below (please note, these are active as of right now but it’s not guaranteed in the long run) for GoDaddy.com:

I’ve been focusing on SEO and keywords primarily in the past week, so I figured I’d add a helpful tool for everyone – a SEO Keyword Suggestion Tool.
As you guys may already know, SEO is important but without keywords, it makes it very hard. Please feel free to read more on SEO in my articles, “Two Word Searches in Google are the Most Popular”, “Add HTML Meta Tags to Increase your Traffic/SEO”, and “Put Keywords in Blog Title to Help with SEO.”
