Though I'm not sure where you get the idea that using an extended path in your URLs is a bad thing. I find just the opposite is true. For instance, instead of something like: domain.com/resource.php?cat=programming&lang=php&topic=files try: domain.com/resources/programming/languages/PHP/files Now the URL not only has keywords in it, but it also gives your visitors additional feedback in the form of a hierarchy that translates into a sentence and also a thought: "This is a resource about programming in PHP using files." Also, your statement about hyphens in filenames no longer has that much merit. Or perhaps I'm thinking of the hyphenated domain name craze. At any rate, most SEs treat hyphens and underscores about the same, as white space. ~d Some good advice here.

A lot of my visitors come in through sub-pages, not the front page, because of the way search engines have indexed my site. In fact, it's better for me and them if they do, since the front page in a blog enviroment at least is usually fairly fast-changing. 2. Titles: You mentioned on sub-pages to use 'Site Title - Page Subject'. I would suggest it works better the other way around. Put the subject first - this also helps visitors if they bookmark or view history on your site (also some SEs cut Titles short in their results) - as the most important info for that page is displayed first. Just a couple of ideas. :) Good post – just a couple of things I do differently (not saying you are wrong):

Yes a lot of the blogging packages available come with some level of optimization, but they are not perfect. Very informative and I would also add that it doesn't hurt to have your keywords in the URL as well. While Google may not give a lot of weight to them, Yahoo! and MSN seem to perk up and pay attention. So, will your next installment (Part II) be focusing on 'off page' optimization techniques?

You may want to go a level deeper into keyword density and off page factors for a followup. http://www.nichebot.com is also excellent for finding keywords to target. My tip: move the site title on the home page to the right and lead off with the keywords. The farther left the more important it is and presumabley your page has the title on it anyways so people don't need to see it in the title tag. result: Keyword 1, Keyword 2, Keyword 3 - Site Title Just enough SEO for a blogger, in my opinion.
