I am reminded of my good old blog (1+ year and counting), just a hobby of mine. I didn't do anything special about it, no SEO thing and stuff. Whenever I wrote posts I didn't really mind about SEO because I just wrote whatever I wanted. This is probably the reason why I don't believe in paying SEO 'experts'. Earlier this year a new ranking algorithm entered and my blog ranked pretty well. Out of my 60 posts, around 40 of them are on the 1st page of Google search for their respective keywords (which, mind you, I didn't research haha). So, SEO is a wonder to me..and I have this gut feeling that Google is ranking blogs/sites who do not pay much attention to it. Or not.
