Don’t Make This Mistake
Filed Under Networking and Marketing Strategy, Search Engines, blogging | 1 Comment
Since I submitted my last post listing the Top Reasons Why I Blog I had an important exchange with a gentleman who I will help with his blogging.
He said that he wanted to write a blog for self-branding, and that he didn’t really care much about keywords.
I told him that he’d be better off to define his keyword niche and build on it, so that he could earn his rightful place in the search engines. Why shouldn’t he grow his personal brand and his search equity at the same time?
When I set up this blog last November my goals were fuzzy. I made frequent title and meta tag changes. This hurt my credibility with the search engines and delayed my progress. I believe that had I not done so, my page rank would now be 2 or 3 instead of 1, and I would be further along in my marketing.
Keyword research is very important. I’m acquiring a keyword tool that will help me make more informed and decisive keyword decisions.

Search Engine Optimization
Filed Under Networking and Marketing Strategy, Search Engines | Leave a Comment
Search engines love content. Pages that update their content often tend to be more popular with the search engines and more frequently visited than those that do not.
Social Networking Sites are filled with rich ever-changing content. That attracts search engines, which in turn attracts marketers. More and more marketers are turning to social networking both to connect with users and to get free traffic. Traffic comes from within the community and, thanks to the search engines, from without as well.
Search engines are another factor that’s driving the social networking industry.
