<p><strong>Business owners are trained to gauge the success of their business according to the health of their &#8220;bottom line&#8221;</strong> - that is - the last line on a profit and loss statement that tells you what remains (if anything) after all your costs of doing business. This makes perfect sense - if you don&#8217;t show a profit, you don&#8217;t stay in business. But, I&#8217;m interested in what - beyond the traditional bottom line - keeps you motivated and creates that deeper and more sustaining measure of success I believe we are all seeking? </p>

Shortly thereafter, WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg <a href="http://photomatt.net/2007/07/10/wltc-high-ground/">stated</a> that all sponsored themes &#8220;should&#8221; be removed from the <a href="http://themes.wordpress.net/">Wordpres Theme Viewer</a> site. As for Matt&#8217;s comments, I&#8217;ve requested clarification from him, but I assume he means there&#8217;s currently a project underway to actually remove sponsored themes from the site.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1. Write keyword rich post titles</strong> - it almost goes without saying, but the post title is the most important part of the blog post for many reasons. From your reader&#8217;s perspective, a descriptive and compelling title helps them decide if your post is worth reading or not. From an SEO perspective, think about the keywords or phrases people might type into a search box to find your post 2 months from now, and use those words or phrases in your post title. For maximum benefit, try to avoid titles that are cute, clever or cryptic.</p>
