.. or why I cannot seem to write SEO-friendly posts.

I have been getting a lot of advice about how to improve readership / followship at thenextjew.com.  Tease!  Flame!  Titillate!  Crunch those SEO focus keywords!  Meta describe!

I write this blog for a variety of reasons – to share, to move the conversation forward, to rant a little, to poke folks in the eye who are deserving of a good poke, to tilt at windmills etc etc.

But unlike folks who want “Jewish continuity” for continuity’s sake, I do not write this blog to garner more readers so I can write more blogposts so I can garner even more blog readers…  that is besides the point.

So, as this post title attests, I am playing with twitter-hack teasery to hack and tease so I can say: I gave it a shot.  Now can I get on with things?

Thank you for indulging me in this hackery for a minute.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.  And the answer to the snippet preview:

What does Buzzfeed, Twitter, Pinterest, Kate Middleton, Katie Holmes, Mitt Romney and the Next Jew have in common?

In a word: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

…which is a couple points lower than Olmert’s approval ratings in 2007 – zing!
