Why there’s more to SEO than tags and trending terms

I approached last week’s SEO workshop dubiously.  According to my understanding (which is based on what friends who do this stuff all the time) the best way to draw more traffic to your blog is simply to write all the time.  And that’s not totally untrue.  What’s also true, however, is that my neologistic propensity does not serve me well, when it comes to interacting with the creepy crawlie google spiders that be.  Take, for example, the term SEO.  Should I, on a whim, decide to refer to it as ‘Essie-oh’ instead, then, yes, my number of hits actually would go down.  Maybe not due to that alone but certainly it plays a factor in it.  So its a strange way to think about writing, basically, some words’ll crawl better than other words.  Plain as that.  Am I having a deja vu right now?  Maybe.  Lucky for me, the site doesn’t earn any money so there’s not reason to draw a certain target margin demographic to a particular page.  Shall I further explain?  I’m less cynical about it than I’m coming across, actually.  But I’m tired nevertheless.  Okay, more soon.
