What software or aids are available that combine blog and SEO?
There are certain SEO books, utilities and programs created specifically for blogs. There are packages that will set up a blog for you to do the right things. The eBooks provide crucial information for getting the most from your blog. There are also programs that take advantage of the trackback feature to gain valuable links to your blog while collecting useful posts from other blogs to let you easily generate new articles rapidly.
Free SEO blogging software exists that sets up a new Wordpress blog with various options and settings that can be done fairly easily manually but this package automates all the drudge work. It makes sure that the naming of the blog entries is search engine friendly (the blog name contains the keywords that the article is about) by setting the permalink format (the way your blog post's URL is built) properly. So if your blog is about fighter jets, the URL of your blog about the fighters of the 40's will contain "fighter jetjs of the 40s. It also provides you with useful plugins that are commonly used to improve blog SEO. It also fills in the ping list of servers to be notified when a new post is added.
The automatic features are very helpful and the package offers a large number of free videos that offer a wealth of data that can really help you to soup up your blogs SEO. It's free so there is no downside in getting it and installing it on a new site.
Although this package is helpful in setting up your blog and will save you some time, in my opinion it's better to understand the principles behind what he is doing and do them yourself. There are a number of eBooks that provide great information on this topic. Josh Spaulding has an especially good one.
