Title: Using Blogs To Turbo-charge Your Seo Efforts! Post by: Shawn Tracer on March 05, 2008, 10:12:52 AM Using Blogs To Turbo-charge Your Seo Efforts!
by: Andy Michaels Today I am going to finish off my mini article series by showing you a specific back door route, if you like, to topping the search engines. You may or may not have heard of blogs, which are sometimes called ‘web blogs’. These are essentially online diaries and at this moment in time everyone from 10 to 100 years of age seems to be blogging. Why? Because it’s simple, easy and fun. We, however, will want to blog for another reason…to make money! Let me explain… Blogs, or online diaries, are set up in a way that the search engines just love. They have good and relevant content, and they can often get tons and tons of links back to them. The great thing about a blog is you can set one up without any web site experience whatsoever. If you go to blogger.com you can set up your own blog within five minutes. From there, using what you have learnt in these articles, you can start promoting either your own products or other peoples products (in exchange for a commission). Another difference between a blog and a web site is that with a web site, each time you add a new article you have to create a new web page. With blogs each new post is a new web page in the search engines eyes. Bearing in mind that you can add a new blog post in less than five seconds I’m sure you can see the power of blogging for the search engines! So how do you go about blogging for profit? Well here’s a simple five step approach you can use to go and start earning today: 1) Go to blogger.com and set up a blog. Use your main keyword as the title of your blog. If it’s already taken call it “niche world” or “niche planet”. For example “rose gardening world”, “rose gardening planet” 2) Hire a writer or write your own optimised articles on your niche subject that specifically focus on one set of keywords. Create or have created at least ten articles. 3) Post an article a day to your blog. 4) Write a press releases about your blog and submit it to prweb.com 5) Use the blogger search function and find blogs related to yours. Make genuine comments on their blog and link back to yours. Using this simple formula you can do very well in the search engines with minimal effort or technical know how. Have you enjoyed these articles on SEO optimisation for the beginner? I hope you have, as I’ve loved writing them. This is a subject that both fascinates and excites me because I know how much is to be made! About The Author Andy Michaels specialises in helping people start their own online ventures.
