Keyword Research Paying Off Big
Filed Under Search Engines, blogging

Surging Ahead in the Search Engines
Extensive keyword research and long-term persistence are starting to pay off in a very big way.
Last month, in Blogging and Search Engine Marketing, I patted myself on the back for my SEO progress during my first six months publishing this blog.
I didn’t at all expect that in May I would receive more visitors from search engines than in all previous months since my introduction to the world of blogs.
These visits were above and beyond the 2,000+ visits that I received from my subscriber lists and from online social networking at Entrecard, MyBlogLog and social networking sites.
Furthermore, slightly more than 30% of those search engine visitors stayed on my site long enough to read something.
Of the 787 search engine visits to my blog in May, 239 “stuck”.
Why so much growth in one month?
My keyword research helped me choose search terms that were ambitious yet realistic. And my persistence helped me to establish PageRank and credibility with Google and the other search engines.
I continue to add lots of content to my blog and bookmark all my content on major social media sites.
Do you think I might top 1,000 visitors from SEO in June?

Thank you for giving this post.
Search engine optimization is generally an integral part of a search engine marketing program. SEM will also include pay per click and other advertising.
Hi Larry!
Congratulations
I wanted to ask you if you’re using HeadSpace (or some type of tagging plugin) with your blog?
It’s amazing the keyword searches being done and landing the seeker on our various sites just from tags and categories.
Diane,
I’ve been using All in One SEO Pack and Tag Managing Thing.
I like what I’ve read about HeadSpace and hope to start using it soon. It will give me more control over may tag pages.
I have, however, chosen not to index my category pages. This way I can change them around without worrying about breaking links in existing search results nor having excess duplicate content.
Larry
I always wanted to have a presence with search engines but never knew how to do it. Congratulations, Larry on your visitors’ tremendous growth.
Site owners will routinely contract with freelance writers to revise content for consistent keywords or phrases throughout the site. This is done because as the website becomes more uniform and cohesive the search engines will begin to take notice.
I agree Larry. Not many people realize the benefits of keyword research and the free traffic you can achieve if it’s done properly. Thanks for the information on this blog!
