Your blog can be a very powerful marketing tool when you take the necessary, yet easy, steps to ensure that it is search engine optimized. Search engines place a high importance on blogs because of its frequently updated active content. Hypothetically, the search engine is essentially fueled by the need to find new, relevant content, and therefore, blogs fundamentally provide that fresh content. You can turn your blog into a powerful force when you implement several SEO steps.
Frequent Entries
In order to receive favorable rankings from the search engines, it is important to maintain frequent blog entries and specialize on your topic. Ideally, you should post daily, or at least five times per week. The more relevant, high-quality entries you post, the more the search engines will like you. Case in point: Google has a specific “Freshbot” to crawl for new content.
Ah, the good ole’ days when a word was just a word. You need not wonder if you paid enough attention to it, brought it flowers on rare occasions, or remembered its birthday. Oh, how times have changed.
When searching Google, you may have recently noticed a considerable change in overall search results and relevancy scores. This has largely been contributed to what I refer to as Googles new virtual relationship counselor, but this is better known as Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). What is LSI and how does it work, you ask? Well, the good news is that you need not make an appointment, pay $200 per hour, nor sit on a reclining couch and answer questions about your childhood to benefit from its services.
It’s not a new thing: you get into an argument with your spouse, and you lose your cool, and before you know it, you are seeing red. You might say some things that you didn’t mean, or perhaps even some things with the intention of hurting the other person’s feelings.

The first thing you need to decide before going any further is if this relationship is worth it to you, because it is not going to be easy. Surviving a long distance relationship takes a lot of will-power, effort and discipline on both sides. If you have already made the decision that this is something you both want then you need a plan of action. This relationship isn’t going to sustain itself.

Part of being human is causing and experiencing conflict. It’s an unavoidable fact of life that we, as people, have to live with every day. It doesn’t matter what your intentions are or whether those intentions were good or bad. At the end of the day you’re going to argue with, get mad at, or just plain dislike someone. And, as much as we hate to admit it, it’s a fundamental process that’s literally hard-wired into our brains.

So, it’s no surprise that many people have a problem with duplicate words (words that sound the same but don’t mean the same thing).
There, their, and they’re are prime examples. All three of these words, when spoken aloud, sound the same. To someone who hasn’t taken many years of formal English education, they may also appear to be spelled the same. However, as you know, that is not the case.
