SEO: Optimizing Blog Posts For People

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a word that has become almost an obsession to many. Bloggers form a special group of this obsessed kind. No matter what they write, or even if they deliver value or something new, most bloggers don't fail to do one thing: SEO their blog posts.

I totally agree that SEO should not be under estimated. It should not be ignored. With so much competition and the ever changing algorithms with search engines, it is highly necessary that every blogger keeps himself/herself educated on the subject.
