Welcome to the weekly blogging tip and Saturday Sharefest comment game! This week I’m talking about how search engines view your blog.
Ever wonder how a search engine sees your blog?
Search engines like Google send software (often called “bots”) to crawl around your blog and pick up information they can store in their engine and report back to those who search. If you understand how search bots see your site, you can more easily see where your most important content should be. One tool to help you with this is the SEO browser. It is a free software tool that crawls your website to report what might be missing or could be improved upon from a search engine perspective.
Enter your web address and click on “Parse URL, ” and you’ll see how search bots see your site.
More specifically Seo-browser.com will check the following on your site:
- Your page titles
- If your post titles are descriptive and effective
- If your images have “alt text” that use the keyword phrases you are targeting
Now, let’s play a game! Here are the rules for the SITS Saturday Sharefest:
- Leave a comment here with a link to one of your best blog posts (or just your main URL if you prefer).
- After you leave your comment, visit the link of the person who commented BEFORE you.
- Comment on their post and be sure to say “Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest” in your comment.
Now, go leave some comments! And please visit my blog, Mom Improvement.

I just started learning about the “alt text”, keywords etc…I’m hoping that now I will start getting some traffic to my site. Happy SITS Saturday ladies!

I don’t do anything of that stuff and still end up getting picked up by searches. My IT fiance said it was because wordpress featured a blog post of mine for a day, so it shot me up to the top of searches due to all the hits. I don’t know if that is true or not. I just like writing and reading other slices of life.

I have been lazy lately & I haven’t been putting “alt text” on my pictures. Guess I’ll have to start doing that again!

I tried this and on my one blog it showed all my left sidebar stuff first, before my posts. Is there a way to change that or does it even matter?

Either my browser ate my comment- OR I’ll have posted twice.
I cannot decide which is more embarrassing/frustrating/kinda like this day.

So late to the game today! Tried to be my same ol’ pre-baby self this weekend- dinner party, brunch with pals, bringing la principesa along…
The result? Bedtime at 10pm last night, only one nap today and bedtime at 6pm. Plus lots of crabbiness thrown in for fun.
Lesson= learned.
