helping out fellow blogosphere : kingdom of google

hey all, i am not the expert, but i've been hanging around with the seo (search engine optimization) geeks a lot lately. what i've been trying to implement from them that i would implore you to do the same is to be a friend to methoblogosphere.

how can yo do this? link!

link, often to other methodist bloggers, and link with descriptive keywords.

what does this mean? the first is easy, go through the blogroll or the aggregator and find some of the interesting posts for others to read. don't assume we all read everyones blog. the number is just too much to be able to do that these days. we count on you to help lift up good postings.

the second part, if you have done the first, is to use keywordings when you link. ie. instead of just saying, "dale has a good video on his church here." say something like "dale tedder posted a great video about Southside United Methodist Church in Jacksonville Florida." this isn't the end all be all of seo, but if we are all in these two practices then we will help each other gain more relevant inbound links & do better for people who are looking for what our various voices are saying. its not something that takes terribly long, and the long term impact on the methoblogosphere on the internet world could be significant.

give it a shot!

shalom
