I recently came across a squidoo lens by Chris Lang that had a ton of great info on SEO and blog marketing.

The following one of many great tips:

“The number of times your URL appears in conversations: Think Gmail….

From the Google Patent:
References to the blog document by other sources may be a positive indication of the quality of the blog document. For example, content of emails or chat transcripts can contain URLs of blog documents. Email or chat discussions that include references to the blog document is a positive indicator of the quality of the blog document.

Yeah, Google reads your Gmail. Google listens to your Google chat. All the time counting how many times your URL is present.

Blog SEO Solution: This is a good case for not using tracking links in emails to your list. By using click counting URLs to see how count click thrus to your site you may be removing a positive indicator that Google counts.
