I Agree 100% with being prepared for a very long ride indeed! Anyone can stick up a blog - being a successful one is another thing.

You are actually in the publishing game now, and there are likely thousands of blogs all battling for eyeballs, so your subject/industry content will be key to how successful you'll be :)

That rings a tingle dingle

At the same time though for an SEO point you are writing to entice your viewers even more. Blog would most likely be your secondary publishing point eh

This is about promotion - how will the OP do this for an unknown blog - cant rely on SEO alone, and to do this on sheer content, they'll need masses of it.

Was easy 5 years back, its different now, the web is different.

The web has always been about content.

Links are how people navigate the web. They above do different things, so you need them both to work together.

Useless having loads of links and zero content on your website, the users wont have anything to look at/use. Pointless having content and no eyeballs, as content alone isnt enough to create a profile strong enough to get people's attention.

I must admit I am getting confused.

Is SEO all about content on your site now?

Is link building basically dead?

Do you need a combination of the two?

I guess quality content and quality links?


Web rankings are still largely controlled by backlinks. The only thing that has been changing (frequently as of late) is the sources that are valued and the mix (link anchors, platforms, domains).

Of course great content is very helpful. However, 1 page or 3 page sites can still rank #1 in very competitive niche's with the right backlinks.

What will the landscape/algorithm be like in 3 months, 12 months or a few years is anyone's guess.

I do tend to agree with OWG that web 2.0 platforms have peaked. Some of them are becoming de-indexed due to spam, while others are going crazy with heavy handed cleanups to prevent that from happening to them.

High PR, niche relevant blog posts are still the most powerful inbound links you can get. Add to that some social validation, topped with a nice layer of bookmarks, blog comments, forum posts, press releases, videos and the rest of the SEO101, and you have a nice diverse footprint (icing) built on a foundation of strong relevant links (cake).

I'd recommend giving Wordpress a body swerve. They are banning accounts faster than Tumblr and Opera, which is rather amazing in itself. If you want a personal blog, then great. But if you're going to be promoting a business, be prepared to have it yanked out from under you.

Also, new Weebly sites are extremely difficult to get indexed. I've got *cough* more than a few *cough* and am finding everything that works everywhere else is NOT working there. We've dropped Weebly from our sitelist because of this.

I've found from using blogs that I was able to go into greater depth in blog posts to what I had on my website.

I have a couple of separate blogs which have links going back to my main websites.

Basically, what I did to target specific keywords and to get more information on a particular service that I was looking to promote I would take the content from my website, expand it in greater depth and spin several related articles on the key aspects of that service.

This would give me content ideas for say half a dozen blog articles related to that particular theme/ service that I was looking to promote, each with content specific keywords and links going back to the main website and relevant pages.

For example if I had a repair service or solutions service page on my website. On the blog I would write up case studies, detailed advice & assistance and the methods of how to repair said item or further details by particular manufacturers of that item. All these blog articles would in turn have links directing them back to the main website and would in turn get some extra hits to my main website.

well… use some search engine optimization tricks we can increase traffic and page rank easily.

Main basic thing is you should work on various factors of SEO ( search engine optimization) to get your site rank & traffic well in the search engines. Basically, you should link your site to various sites outside the world. Once you get a good number of links, and when you give links to your site and maintain certain aspects in your site like updating the content regularly etc.,

we have so many link building process are there.

For eg : social bookmark, directories , forums ect…

Do some link building work for your website to getting page rank.

Hi,
It is very nice question, If you use personal blog, you should use the right Keyword at the right place and always write the Unique Content. Note that the Keyword density your blog is 2-3 %, if your keyword density increases more than 2-3%, Google penalize you, So you don't use the maximum keyword density.
If you use separate blog, you read the website relevant blog and give the relevant comment. Note that Comment on that blog only who gives us do-follow (back-link). So you gain the maximum back-links and automatically your page rank will be high.
Thanks.

Interesting thread.

So does it mean if you have a company and then you go and write a blog about lots of stuff relevant to the company and then you put some anchor text in to your own website (succinctly) then will this be ok? Or is it an idea to put anchor text or links back to lots of other relevant sites so your site link just blends into it?

Also are you able to have your own blog and for your own company to place an ad on your own blog?

thanks guys

You do realise that the service and concept you are promoting is exactly the sort of thing google is trying to stamp out.
