SEO Challenge Beginning

I finished up the template tonight and scraped some superfluous code. At this point though two articles have been posted I have not done one thing as far as marketability. I have not pinged. I have not submitted to search engines. Nothing. I put Google ads up tonight because what's the point of a marketing blog if my contextualization fails me? I want to absolutely market off my own endeavor because this is why people crave higher SEO ranks. I think Adbrite dived out on me but we'll see if I have to do that again or not. Oh. And any thing I mention in these posts repeatedly can usually be found in the side columns. So if something ends up working and you want to know "How'd she do that" you'll have the option available. Just now I registered this site with MyBlogLog so a few people may sprinkle by before "Total Live" starts. Here's what I have done as far as setting the site up. I did not use Blogger's New Template Doc Type Declaration as Transitional XHTML [Probably won't validate right now] META tags Title, Description, and Keywords [Keywords Out? Humbug] Threw up some ads Got my feed ready by way of the awesome Feedburner Got my RSS buttons going on to point to my Feed Made an awesome graphic and dividing star for the posts Add social bookmarking units at the bottom of the posts Have I missed anything yet? I'll be back tomorrow to check. Right now I'm off to look for a PageRank button I can stick on the site to watch. And I'm still debating about the whole Technorati tags idea. I'm just not sure about it yet.
