David, your two points were that:<br><br>1- Luck, does not play as big of a part as I stated.<br><br>2- Posting timely can help.<br><br>I agree with Ben in part. You did kind of miss the point. When you try all the blogging gimicks out there its easy to lose sight of why you are blogging in the first place. My point is that what you can control is blogging not for SEO but because you want to. You can also control the quality of the content you put out. <br><br>Which leads me back to the luck part. It is not easy to predict which content will be successful and which content will not. Certainly there are factors involved that increase your chances but then you risk losing perspective. Are you really adding that much content value to the blogosphere if you are just posting to be successful. I do not think content should be geared solely around SEO. <br><br>My point was and still is write good content about what you want when you want and the audience will arrive. <br><br>The rest as I said is just bologna. Let's start again. David, your two points were that:

1- Luck, does not play as big of a part as I stated.

2- Posting timely can help.

My question is why do you care about SEO for a blog? Is there some kind of financial gain to be had for you that motivates this? If so, yeah you missed the point completely. If not, never mind.
