BLOG and SEO Tips

[micoblanco]

In my own words... a blog is a diary-like site of an individual that is intended for public view. Nowadays, a blog is a source of income. Many great bloggers earn money regarding their blog. We&#39;re talking about big money. Yummy<br /><br />Fundamental Information:<br />1. Choose a free publishing tool/site - I suggest newbie to use blogger because based on my experience and based on what I&#39;ve heard... wordpress is for experts.<br />2. Blog&#39;s URL - Your URL should be very related to your blog. (unless you&#39;re branding). When making the proper URL of your blog I suggest you use easy to remember words and you can also use &quot;-&quot; instead of &quot;_&quot;.<br />3. Add Meta Keywords|Description|Title - This will help your blog to be index by search engines.<br />4. Sitemap (by means of Google Webmaster Tool) - Use this tool for Google&#39;s faster indexing.<br />5. Link-Building - Posted below are ways about link building.<br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * article submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * forum posting (through signature)<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * web directory submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * blog directory submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * participating in community sites like Yahoo Answers<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * press release submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * online group posting<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * promotional ads<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * link exchange<br /><br />Tips in properly optimizing your webpage title:<br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * Include the name of your business/ name of the website<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * Include your targeted keywords<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * Include your city/location<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * Use different title tag for every page but the title should reflect the content that can be found in the particular webpage.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * Use short web page titles because it can be easily read by visitors. Do not use special characters because it might not be properly displayed and your website might look strange in a SERP<br /><br /><br />Example:<br />Title: mico.com - Inexpensive Shirts in Australia<br /><br />But if the business is new, it is recommended to list your keywords first before the name of your business. Why? It is simply because your business it not yet popular and people might be looking for solutions to their problem. (In the example listed above, the keyword &quot;Inexpensive Shirts was used to provide short but very informative information about your webpage.<br /><br />Revised:<br />Title: Inexpensive Shirts in Australia - mico.com<br /><br />Hope it helps.

I have a little thing to add to your points. <br /><br />Free blogging platforms are fine to start. But if you do have a little money to invest, rather go for your own domain, since when you are more stable and start making some money, you will always feel the need to have the your own hosting and domain.<br /><br />Also, although blogger is easier to use, you will find wordpress more useful in the long run. Most professional blogs run on wordpress, and it is so far better than blogger. So if you have to start with a big ambition, you should start with wordpress.

I think you are really new to blogging. Those blogging tips can be read all over the web, but some of them are definitely wrong.<br /><br />e.g.:<br />3. Add Meta Keywords|Description|Title - This will help your blog to be index by search engines.<br />4. Sitemap (by means of Google Webmaster Tool) - Use this tool for Google&#39;s faster indexing.<br /><br />Both have definitely nothing to do with indexing or speed of indexing.<br /><br />Some of the stuff you wrote about link building is old-fashioned and can harm your blog.<br /><br />WordPress may be a powerful solution, but you need to spend too much time for this blogging system. WordPress causes many problems and, if you work every day with it and use many (necessary) plugins, you will see every week 500 Internal Server error or none working blog with white page. You need to spend maybe much more than 1.000 hours in WordPress, but there&#39;s no advantage. The only advantage of WordPress is PHP and that you do the things all the others do.<br /><br />Blogger is VERY powerful if you are an experienced SEO and familiar with Bloggers XML language. Many things are not documented in Blogger, but there&#39;s a handful of experts around the world that write about it. You will never get 500 Internal Server error, will never have to do annoying updates and updates and updates of WordPress and you will have a stable system with no known security risks.<br /><br />At the end blogging is not that easy. Don&#39;t get kidded by 99% of wrong promises. Don&#39;t think you can learn blogging in a few weeks or months. It&#39;s an experience and will be a big part of your life.<br /><br /><br />

<br /><br />I agreed. Because i had hardtime using wordpress before. <br /><br />

Link-Building - Posted below are ways about link building.<br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * article submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * forum posting (through signature)<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * web directory submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * blog directory submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * participating in community sites like Yahoo Answers<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * press release submission<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * online group posting<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * promotional ads<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; * link exchange<br />

<br /><br />these are ver common. Why don&#39;t you concentrate on social bookmarking and social networking. You can also do the tag posting and guesstbook posting.<br /><br />

<br />* Include the name of your business/ name of the website

<br /><br /><br />Oooppss. I don&#39;t think so. In optimizing a title for your site. Always consider the keywords you are targetting. DO NOT place the name of your site IF IT IS NOT ON YOUR LIST OF&nbsp; KEYWORD

Yahoo answering has no role in link building. It is nofollow
