I made a decision to focus my efforts only on content and making guest posts - which proved to be a more effective strategy for growth, than SEO. And for the necessary SEO part - my theme "Thesis" takes care of that. I've been already listed highly at Google for some powerful keywords. But I haven't come up with them - Google picked them and people searched for them, by I never cared about them. Again, go for the 80% that make the biggest impact. In my blog case 80% would be great content and the 20% would be other strategies like SEO.</p> Zoli, actually I stopped caring too much about SEO.

It works just in the same direction. 80% is of course only an analogy for "what feels good enough for yourself". So it doesn't matter if this is 50, 60, 70 or 80%. It's only to stop you from the dreaded perfection and it't killing influence on motivation.</p> Patty, thank you for this tip.
