Blogging and SEO

Are you blogging? Do you own a business? Did you know that blogging can help your site become more active with viewers?

How?

Blogging can help you increase the activity of your website by selecting specific keywords and linking them to your site. This is what I do with every one of my posts. I am always creating "tags" and live links to my www.reddingseo.com. I want to make sure that the keywords I'm focused on are in line with getting a first page ranking.

In the beginning my reddingseo.com was listed on the first page for the keyword search term, "Redding SEO". The other two keywords I have been working on are, "Redding search engine optimization" and "Redding search engine services".

If you type in redding seo, redding seo blog, and redding search engine optimization into Google's search box you should find all three of those terms on page 2 for the most part. The first two keywords are on the first page almost all the time, the third is on page 2 most of the time.

My second site, the Pond Ideas website has many first page keyword listings. It receives daily clicks from Adsense. My third site about reverse mortgages has the first page listing for the main keyword I've targeted.

With proper SEO you can gain traffic to your sites. I'll be listing a new site soon...

Until next time,

New SEO Creation

Today more than ever more people are seeking to make a living online. I'm one of those people. It's hard for me to make the time to work on my online projects, but every week I try to get as much done as possible.

If you're wanting to build your business online it is important to understand that you must set up goals. You will need to set up short term as well as long term goals. Everyday I actually try to do something positive toward my online business. It is not always possible to get a lot done, but even writing just a few paragraphs and updating this blog is helping me with my SEO online.

How? Well, this is my launching site. This is the place where I have established enough activity, via a blog, to get my other websites attention. In the beginning it took a week for me to have my first website listed in Google. Once this blog became active it set in motion something very important.

What? Google and other search engines like Yahoo love blogs. Blogs are the most updated and active sites online so the search engines want to come and check up on them as often as once or twice a day. It depends on how often you are updating your blogs. The more you update your blog the more activity it creates and the end result is a lot of "slurping" from Google and other search engines.

So, the goal here for me is to update this blog as often as I can. Which should be at least 2 or 3 times a week. Lately it's been harder to do that due to a couple of my workmates becoming disabled and having to cover work for them.

I'll be back soon, I have almost finished creating my new site. Once I have it finished, I'll announce it in this blog and enter the Google map into the BIG G. The last site I announced was listed in less than 2 days. I'll try and keep a closer watch this time to see how fast my next one is listed.

Until then...

Happy Blogging,
