What I wonder is if their is any 'direct' way to influence Google (their have 50% of the business for some reason) so optimizing is more reader friendly. On the other hand, I can 'optimize' the hell out of an article and end up on top of a search that I never intended to show up on. I once wrote a piece using 'fly fishing' as an example. I wrote the term 'fly fishing statistics' within the piece and for a while I was on the first page of that search and had visitors at least weekly to my blog that had NOTHING to do with fly fishing directly!

It's awkward for me to read through those posts for search engines and what more my readers? However, I do use the All-In-One SEO Plugin to put in a more SEO-ized title if necessary, META tags and description tags. I do have some internal linking within my posts as well.

I would rather just write my post, keep a clean title, good keywords, link well throughout my post and not have to worry if its "SEOed" to the fullest. The search engines can read, but they aren't benefiting from my content, the readers are. Great post :grin: . Very much agreed, Mani.
