Thanks for the great article. On many occasions I have felt like a voice howling in the wilderness about anchor text, keywords, backlinks and link order. Now I have a buddy to howl with OOOWWW OWWW owooooooo!

Sadly your post is on a dang blogspot blog so I can't stumble the article itself because when I click the title for the post the url is to the blog. Arrrgghhh!

I'm glad everyone likes it I wasn't sure about it and almost scrapped it half-way through in fear that it was 'too silly' - glad I didn't!

  sometimes you have to bring it down a level so idiots like me can understand it.

  No - in fact - I much preferred the silly tone - it was charming, enthusiastic, and amusing.
  
  It kept me - the NON SEO person - reading it - and it made some sense.
  
  I WISH more SEO people would write that way so that I could sort of follow the language.
  
  My mind will only retain that which interests me as I read - otherwise looking at a page sometimes looks like squiggly junk. When it interests me - something else kicks in and it clarifies it for me.
  
  Anyhow - your page was INTERESTING.
  
  And I liked it.
  
  So you just Dummy up everything for everyone - like an SEO for DUMMIES or something.
  
  Or SEO for the sitting still challenged.

  'SEO for Dummies' is a book lol in fact one of the first books I read on the subject, it's sitting right here on my bookshelf covered with a decent amount of dust.
  
  EDIT: I don't recommend the book by the way, it was written almost 7 years ago and the information is outdated as of now.

Let's face the blogosphere is growing by leaps and bounds and the competition for readers and for backlinks is fierce. If we wish to be successful bloggers we must all learn and use basic SEO.

Anchor text should be carefully selected key words rather than words like “click here”. If you use “click here” to link to then according to Google’s search algorithm or ranking formula, you are getting credit for the term “click here” and not for whatever keyword or phrase you are optimizing for. codesucker did a great job of explaining this as well as other basics that bloggers need to know in his post, so read it and learn.
