Happy New Year!

A report was released a few months ago which I thought was of interest in relationship to the top 20 blogging sites on Technorati. Some interesting findings include that “out of the top 20 bloggers, 40% are missing a 301 redirects, 65% are missing description metadata, and 80% are missing keywords metadata“.

The report, put together using HubSpot’s Website Grader Tool, shows that many of the most professional and top ranked sites are missing key elements in their pages to help them place high in the search engine rankings.

This is actually good news for the average blogger proving that, as long as you have content that everybody wants to read, and you haven’t missed out on some the key elements of SEO, you still have a chance of beating out the popular blogs in the search engines.
