I am sure you have heard all about the importance of include keyword tags in your blog posts. It’s a great way to get those search engines to bring more readers to your site.
When you create your blog in WordPress or Blogger, it creates metadata with your title and tag line. This is good, but put a lot of importance on that tagline. It throws out all those witty quips you wanted to use.
Now you can do both with a simple code embedded in your template. A little copy and paste will help you add common keywords that relate to you.

Have you been thinking about storing your baby’s cord blood?
Cryo-Cell is offering a special discount for expectant families to store their baby’s cord blood.
From now until Sunday 6/28/09, families can save $725 on Cryo-Cell’s U-Cord service using the promotional code HOT
Did you know that over 12,000 umbilical cord blood stem cell transplants occurred worldwide to treat over 75 different diseases?
Did you know that cord blood stem cells are 100% match for the infant donor and 1 in 4 match for a sibling?
Tell your readers about this special discount from Cryo-Cell. They are the industry leader in cord blood banking with over 175,000 clients and more accreditation than any other private cord blood bank.

Author’s Note:
I think Cord Blood Banking is an important thing for all expecting families to consider. It is not an investment to take on without doing your own research.
Public cord blood banking is supported by the medical community. However, private cord blood banking is generally not recommended unless there is a family history of specific genetic diseases.
In May 2006, The World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) Policy Statement for the Utility of Autologous or Family Cord Blood Unit Storage1 stated that:
- The use of autologous cord blood cells for the treatment of childhood leukemia is contra-indicated because pre-leukemic cells are present at birth. Autologous cord blood carries the same genetic defects as the donor and should not be used to treat genetic diseases.
- There is at present no known protocol where autologous cord blood stem cells are used in therapy.
- If autologous stem cell therapies should become reality in the future, these protocols will probably rely on easily accessible stem cells.
