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!

    “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.

  4. 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.

  6. proson says:

    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.!!!

  7. I agree that blog = is much better then directories for SEO. Regards

  8. Mark says:

    Nah, it USED to be better listings on Google. Now you need to scrap the blog and start a wiki ;)

  11. 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. :)
