There’s a Ladybug in my tea
I wonder does she think it’s a sea?
Can Ladybugs swim?
Was it just a whim?
That got a Ladybug in my tea.
There’s a Ladybug in my tea
I wonder was it just for me
Or was it the scent of Earl Grey
That enticed her over that way
And put a Ladybug in my tea.

We’ve covered the basics of SEO — why you need it, some ways to get it and I challenged you to work on getting some back links from higher PR blogs. I did not work on that as much as I had intended to (you know about intentions and the road to hell, right? Well, my foot is planted firmly on it 
)
Let’s just see how my little bit worked.
Last week, I had 3 pr1 links and 37 pr0 links on my graph. Today, my 1-20 results graph shows 4 pr1 links and 36 pr0 links, so I’ve moved a PR0 up to a PR1 — that’s at least in the right direction!
How did you do?
I’ve been reading many different websites lately (not so much on purpose, but they just seem to be popping up) about building readership and keeping readers on your blog. Maybe that’s on a lot of people’s minds lately — with the worldwide economy like it is, perhaps we’re all looking and hoping to find ways of making an extra dollar or two along the way. Anyway, back to my subject of reading ….
I found a website that has free e-books that had a couple of books on SEO and one that particuarly caught my eye was Traffic Strategies for Your Website I’ve downloaded it, but haven’t had a chance to look at it yet.
I also stumbled a blog post about using contests to drive traffic to your website that’s very well written over at Blog Extreme Makover. You should definitely read this article before beginning a contest on your site. And by the way, although contests take a lot of planning and forethought, they are a pretty good way to get some new traffic. Think long and hard about the things you want people to do to qualfiy for entry, though. I’ve seen some where the hoops you were required to jump through for the gain you had the chance of winning were just not worth it.
While we’re on the subject of contests, today is the last day to enter Turnip of Power - Social Networking’s contest — lots of great prizes in the mix there, so don’t miss out!
And then, from Mixx, this post at Internet Marketing came across my inbox that has links to his top 10 copywriting tools for SEO. That’s a pretty comprehensive list and he’s one-upped me on publishing it as that was going to be part of this post — oh well, saved me some typing 
Now don’t be shy about telling us how you did with your SEO challenge! I’m quite sure you did better than I did

D-oh!

I’m actually SEO challenged naturally, so taking the challenge? I don’t quite know how I could get higher PR ranked blogs to backlink to me. I’m mostly a fun read, does that count?

@Carol — LOL — that was what I ended up doing, too and why I don’t have much to show as of yesterday.
@Witchypoo — yes ma’am you most certainly CAN find and comment on blogs that have a higher PR are do-follow and fit in the “fun read” niche.
