You should do they basic SEO stuff and not worry about the rest.

Google is constantly changing their method of ranking but they seldom give any info.

I haven't really done SEO work that much, but reading this post make me think is it smarter to forget about SEO work and focus on content? Or should for the time being work on search optimization because after all google still uses its old methods for ranking a site.

And a i have a question, when is google expected to change to a new method of ranking?

If you love writing and do it often then you should be just fine. Don't worry too much about SEO. If people love your stuff then they'll come back and tell their friends.

I can't tell you what a relief this is for me. I'm still new to blogging and so far it seems like everything I read is all about SEO. A few days ago a friend told me about the proposed change to Google and it got me very worried. Reading this post has helped a lot. One of the reasons I'm so interested in blogging is that I love to write so as long as good content is a part of getting traffic, I feel better about being able to make it in the big, bad, blogging world.

I never really believed in strongly concentrating on SEO for a blog. In essence it is usually done on static websites such as http://stophairbreakage.org/ , excellent on ranking 1st and 2nd!

Good point Sean. I may write a post in the future on what SEO techniques still matter.

Nick

I would agree that for sites producing origional content that there are now so many more routes to getting traffic from search engines alone.

I still think it's important to go through the processes you've detailed in your videos to ensure sites at least get indexed by the search engines as I think a lot of people still use a search engine to find a site instead of typing the address into their browser bar.
