'If RSS is the Yahoo backdoor, is a Blog Google's??
Blogs For KidsFlush out the writer in children. Blogging could draw out a young writer ..... ...... with the purpose that the search engine fills.
You may think that if you study all the search engine tricks, you'll have the traffic from the search engines and it will then follow that yours will be the site people come to for the keyword they want, which in turn, will get 1% of those people to buy what's at your site.
If you think that, I'm not here to tell you that you're wrong - sometimes that works. I'm just saying that there are other easier, faster, less expensive ways. Some of them only have subtle differences from the way you know.
The truth is, even if we could somehow reverse engineer the secret Google algorithm, it periodically changes. So mastering that system would be temporary, even if you could do it.
Did you know that you don't even need the traffic for your most desired keyword to be successful' You just need some targeted traffic that converts well. Some of the most financially successful sites generate amazing profits in the tens or hundreds of thousands with a few hundred or thousand visitors every month.
The method I most suggest to the kind of search engine results that can power those kinds of sales, is aligning your site with the purpose the search engine wants to fill. It is faster, more effective and involves far less effort.
And yes, you should still make sure your blog meets all the basic search engine optimization guidelines when you set it up. However, the very nature of a blog makes it easier to meet more of these requirements with less continual struggle.
Let's look at the facts, and see how blogs align themselves more closely with one of Google's purposes as a search engine.
We know that
1- if you get your site's link in the path of the search engine spider or robot of your choice, in this case Googlebot, that crawls around the web looking for information if may follow it. (Even when you submit your site and wait, what you're waiting for it so get your site spidered.)
2- the way to get it to follow the link is to make sure it can 'see' your link
3- if your content fills a need that the search engine's database of links has, it will include it, and,
4- if your link fills a deficit better than any other site, in accordance with Google's secret formula or algorithm, it will rank your page well.
So now, the only missing component necessary to our success is now finding out how to be the best site Google finds for a category that has a deficit.
One of the strengths of Google, as perceived by people who like it, is the vast amount of fresh content it contains that is relevant to almost any topic, or keyword, typed into it, no matter how narrow or broad.
It follows then, that one purpose of this database of links is to provide fresh, relevant content on topics its users desire. The freshest, most relevant, most topical information found on the web today are in blogs, as well as their corresponding RSS or Atom feeds.
A blog's very function is to contain constantly updated focused content, on one topic or field.
A Blog Isn't Just For Christmas.I was watching the news on TV last night and there was a warning about buying puppies as Christmas presents. There's nothing worse than visiting the kennels in the new year .....
When blogs first started, the topic was often a person's life. As blogs move into the realm of business, at their best, they are updated records of a certain kind of information relevant to an industry, a company or a topic, that is aligned with the interests of their visitors.
