We’re not a huge fan of buying keywords, but having the right keywords in your posts sure helps you get placement.

If you aren’t sure what keywords you should use, think about what you would use to find your post in Google (or Yahoo if you must) and then try them, see who pops up. But, what about the related words? That’s where the Overture Keyword selector tool comes in handy:

• Enter a term related to your site and we will show you: Related searches that include your term
• How many times that term was searched on last month

Or you can use the Google tool:

Google AdWords: Keyword Tool
Keyword Tool
The Keyword Tool generates potential keywords for your ad campaign and reports their Google statistics, including search performance and seasonal trends. Start your search by entering your own keyword phrases or a specific URL. You can then add new keywords to the green box at the right.

Either tool should help you focus your posts for maximum web search rank.

This is probably the easiest way to understand what web 2.0 is in under 5 minutes. Highly recommended.

Alex King has come up with a very interesting plugin- Articles, which will allow you to organize your posts on a separate page in a non-chronological order.

Say you have written a lot about how to optimize WordPress and make it the Content Management System to end all Content Management Systems- and you want to pull those posts together in a way that displays them grouped by some format other than category tags- well this is it.

We’ll implement soon on Websitetology- to make an easy reference page on how to progress through WordPress from install to the top of Google.

This plugin allows you to easily present a list of posts you select outside of your blog chronology. Very useful for featuring things that might otherwise slip into the nether regions of your archives. See it in action here.
