Every time I read a forum post about SEO in this forum, it usually discusses the subject of using relevant and hot keywords within your content. I see tips such as meta tag descriptions, using keywords in your post titles, and other misc tips.

Out of everything I've read, I have only implemented a few of the suggestions supplied to me because SEO seems to come naturally. I write my blog posts in such a way that a 7th grader would be able to understand what I'm saying. I try to get my point or points across without worrying about all of this SEO jumble. The posts usually end up somewhere on Google, sometimes near the top, sometimes in the middle, but I don't really care since it's my readers that I'm trying to please, not Google.

Now, considering this is an SEO based forum, I'm sure quite a few of you will argue that you can write for both parties to maximize the benefits. I agree with that. It just seems like at times, all of the tips on this forum make it seem like it's best to write for machines, rather than your readers.

What do you think?
