Hey Mike
Thanks for the post if you need to ask any questions please don’t hesitate. I know what it was like when I first started out, it can be a very big place the internet and with so much information flying around it can get very confusing especially when it comes to Blogs.
Hi Erin
Glad you liked the article hope it gave you some ideas…
Yea I’m learning too!
I want to know how blogging can help others and help my website.
I think what ive figured out in last 3 months equals something that takes longer in school!
I made a mistake in the thousands.
Because of that I’m figuring out how to do better for free!
If you want to help others with your blog/website you need to be adding firstly quality content that helps those people in your niche and it should really be free information. By doing this you will find that people start adding their own comments to your blog which is very important for marketing.
And if you are adding quality content you will find that other sites start to link to your content giving you a huge following of sites which can count as one way back links also good for marketing your site.
You are also on the right track by offering a free competition on your site this can help you build a mailing list of clients. I also notice that you have Youtube Videos this is also a good way to pick up links make sure your website link is in the profile of your Youtube page and also in the description of your Youtube Video.
This is all new to me blogging. I hope this counts!
Everytime i move forward its a big place.
These are definitely good tips, but they aren’t that specific. If you want to get your blog post listed then you should be sure to bold, title, and comment about your keywords. Also, makes sure to use alt tags with your images and use your keyword at least 3-5 times.
Yes this is a good tactic you can use, however many people simply do not understand what they need to do to optimize there post or pages. I guy by the name of Daniel Tan has released a fantastic plugin for wordpress which we use on this site called SEOPressor that does all of this for you, simply follow the instructions and you have a fully optimized seo ready wordpress post or page.
