That being said, I do LOVE to blog about blogging,  just not every … [Read more...]

There’s More to Effective Blogging then SEO

The Effective Blogging Equation

As a WordPress trainer and SEO blogging coach, most folks who hire me are focused on learning the mechanics of SEO and to be honest, SEO is only one, very small part of the total online, blogging success equation.

SEOBlogingDiva.com

SEO Blogging Diva is my new website baby and though I purchased the domain over a year ago, it took awhile to step into such bodacious branding as a "blogging Diva."
