I have been reading a lot about SEO lately. It seems there are quite a few things you need to do in order to have Google think highly of your blog and send visitors.
1st and foremost is content: original, compelling, and on topic content. While I just started my blog (December 06), I have been averaging 2 posts per day of content. I don’t mean to toot my horn, but I hope you find it as interesting, compelling, and on topic as I do. I have spent significant amount of time thinking about and working on posts.
I had a minor reddit flood for my post comparing a CD Ladder to a Prosper.com portfolio. (1000 users 2000 page views.) Spent most of one day on the 3rd page. Use Prosper and get a 312% Increase over a CD Ladder for Your Emergency Fund.
I was asked to speak at a prosper days session in February: Third Party Application Showcase. This happened after I adjusted the prosper data dump to work with SQL Server 2000 and posted it on my blog. (It only works with SQL Server 2005 by default.)
I promise to continuing posting to the blog and follow my prosper journey for at least 3 years.
Are you interested in a link exchange? Add a link from your site’s main page to http://www.rateladder.com/. Send me an email to kevin [at] rateladder [dot] com asking for a reciprocal link. I am very responsive. I am not sure if I am supposed to be picky or not, but please have a page rank (not zero) OR relevant content.
I am not an SEO expert, but if anyone out there is and has suggestions for me I would be interested. I find the topic compelling.

Kevin – I enjoy your blog. I’m going through a bunch of your older posts now. You write well and have your finger on the pulse of the Prosper community. I’d certainly like to exchange links. I’m actually writing a post writing now that I’ll publish in the next day or two about rateladder and other Prosper blogs. Your highlighted.
