SEO’s CHRISTMAS ALPHABET

Nov 272008

published by Hannah in SEO with 3 comments

We’re buying Christmas décor this weekend and this has obviously put me in the mood for an early Christmas post. I know it’s corny but instead of candy canes, happiness, and reindeers I’ve substituted keywords that are relevant to SEO and came up with the SEO’s CHRISTMAS ALPHABET. 

C – ontent
H – 1, H2, and other tags
R – elevance 
I – mages
S – ocial media
T – ext (keywords!)
M – ass appeal (popularity)
A – ccessibility
S  - piders and search engines

There it is. My next few posts will then center around each letter till we finish the Christmas alphabet and then I might make an SEO New Year Alphabet, or not.

An early happy holidays to everyone!
