Use short URL for your blog instead of a long one. You’ll do better in search engines.

As you know, yesterday I changed the settings on my permanent links from /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to a custom structure url + /%postname%/ .

The reason I did it was simple. I want my web site to do better in search engines and the long url didn’t do any good. In fact it is too long for a search engine.

When submitting to search engines, do it once. Don’t get greedy by submitting your web site too many times. Befriend with the search engines and they’ll befriend you too.

If you didn’t use for your blog submission, then do it now or… you can use the .

You probably know this one by now….Use specific words on your entry’s titles and do the same with the tags.

Example : Instead of “Freeware” use “Best freeware” or “Best freeware downloads”.

Tag links in your blog’s entries. For example, using makes it easy. If you want you can “tag” a link or set it to “nofollow”.

When linking, try to include your most important keywords or keywords phrases into that link’s title.

Last but not least … Keep it clean!
