Blogging etiquette and HTML snippet week 2

So for week two I am going to talk about SEO a tiny bit. There are a few things that you can do in each post to help the bots search your text.

Etiquette:
Social Networking: If you are going to start social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook there are some things that can help you succeed. First of all if you do start a page, fill out all of the info. Links, a short bio. Next thing is keep it up. It isn’t magic and its hard work, maybe even harder than your blog if you are using it for marketing and not just for fun. Before you begin the page make sure you have time to give this page. Interact with others in a personal but professional way and no matter what you do, even if eventually you limit the time you spend on it daily. Do not abandon the page.

HTML:
How to code your posts for SEO:
Inside the body of your post there are lots of fun things to do. Today I am going over word importance for search engine bots.
If you want something to have a high importance with search engines and depending on the code of your template stand out and be bold:

1
<h3>You would put that text in this area</h3>

This is normally used for headers inside articles.
If you want a phrase to stand out:

1
<em>you would type that phrase between the EM</em>

If you want a phrase to be important and bold on the page:

1
<strong>type the phrase here</strong>

That’s it for today. If there is anything else you want to know specifically please ask :D
Footnote: These are general code snips, it depends on who coded and how your template was coded in the way they will work. These should work 90% of the places or more. However the SEO benefits still work whether you see the changes on your page or not.
