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,

The Key to SEO

The Key to SEO is .... well, you'll have to read this blog...

Every now and then I check on my page position or as some ranking as some refer to it. My position for the keyword search term, "Redding SEO" has remained unchallenged for the number one spot in Google. The other term, "Redding search engine optimization" is constantly changing. The highest it's been is #7 and today it's #10 or #13, depending on which browser you are using.

The most work I am doing for this site is checking my stats. I really am far too busy to work on anything more than that. However, it is good to note that my on site work that I have done before uploading my site online is what has helped me to rank rather well for the three keyword search terms that people will use if they live in my area.

On site SEO is very important and in some cases it can be the only thing you ever have to do for obtaining a good position in Google. Yahoo and MSN are very lazy about how they position "related" content. In fact they are pretty far behind Google in how they manage linking. Hackers and people who use bad SEO technique can still manipulate their page position rather easily using technique that provide a very bad experience for the users.

It is not hard to understand why Google is the number one choice for searching online. Once you use Google, you won't be going back to Yahoo or another other search engine unless you're someone like me doing SEO type research.

My offline work is taking about 4 to 5 days of my time. And I'm not too excited about working where I am not needed. So, I'll let my Reddingseo.com take a life of it's own for now.

Oh... BTW... my article that I submitted is ranked at number ONE for the keyword search term, Redding Search Engine Optimization. ;) My article also drives people to my site. So, either way you look at it, just a little off site effort have helped me acheive the top page position for the two main search terms I have targeted.

The key is patience really. A site needs to be built with SEO, it needs to age and prove itself, and there are off site methods that require a lot of patience and maintenance, especially for the harder more competitive search terms.

First Page in Google

Okay, it's been a week now and my new site is now number 10 on the first page of search results for the keyword search term, reverse mortgage pros cons. I've postponed playing any Adsense ads on it until it's settled closer to the top. I have written two articles and submitted them to an article directory. I've also got plans on adding new articles each week. This site should reach the top of the page within a month or so. Maybe sooner.

Regarding my actual business site, Redding SEO or Redding Search Engine Optimization, I've just entered it into Google Maps so it's available there. It should only take a day to see it in the search for Redding Search Engine Optimization Services.

Here's the Google search result stats for some keyword search terms:

Redding SEO - #1
Redding SEO Blog - #1
Redding SEO RSS - #1
Redding SEO services - #1
Redding search engine optimization - #13
Redding search engine optimization services - #13

My goal is to have the last two search terms number one as well. However, that will take a little time. It is hard to estimate the time because there are a great deal of factors involved, but I would expect to see it within the top 5 results within the next 2 - 4 months.

Till next time,
