Here’s the Podcast of the show:

SEO 101 is a live podcast, broadcast over Webmaster Radio at 1 pm EST and the show discusses basic SEO techniques and news for those new to SEO & link building, and those needing a refresher.
We announced on the show yesterday that Search Engine Journal will be doing weekly wrap-ups of the SEO 101 show for our readers, and I will be doing guest spots on the show from time to time.
Here’s what we discussed on the show : basic blogging and the blogosphere’s influence on SEO.
* B.L.O.G. = Better Listings On Google
* Blogs are good for linking because they attract links as a resource
* Blogrolls (great place to ask for links on other blogs)
* Blog Hosting (hosting on your own domain vs. blogspot or wordpress)
* Posting frequency and the Google Freshness factor
* Blog Directories : free listings, lots of links, link juice, Best of the Web
* Basic Blog SEO tips (Wordpress SEO Plugins)
* Submitting posts to Digg, Netscape StumbleUpon and other sites
* Netscape’s Launch of Propeller.com
How was the show? Please leave your comments below!
Nice. Me love blogroll links.
I like it:

“B.L.O.G. = Better Listings On Google”
That one gave me a good chuckle, partially because (in spite of the aconym snappiness) it’s a perfectly valid (and increasingly common) approach. :-)
Good stuff.
Great broadcast Loren. Looking forward to future SEO podcasts.
Hmm weird Loren I didn’t know that Carolyn Shelby lived really close to me (Indiana) thats odd because just the other day one of my clients was telling me his girlfriend lived in Lafayette which I know its not her, but just odd how things work out.
yeah I like it to. B.L.O.G. may be blog is more information rather than a website. more news, more fresh content and search engines do love unique content.!!!
I agree that blog = is much better then directories for SEO. Regards
Nah, it USED to be better listings on Google. Now you need to scrap the blog and start a wiki ;)
Just listened to this podcast while eating my lunch. I especially enjoyed the info on wordpress SEO plugins. Thanks, Scott
with all the web2.0 technology, including podcasting, video, blog, rss and all the stuffs, seo these days seem easier with the new blogging method!
I really enjoyed this podcast and learnt a lot. The stuff about post freshness was very interesting. This podcast also introduced me to a new SEO resource and I’ll be looking out for future shows. :)
