Hello all, I'm VERY new to blogging and would like to get some input on my site set-up. Please give me the good the bad and the ugly. I am open to all comments as long as they are constructive. SEO tips, link building tips, content tips, WHATEVER. My blog is about self improvement and the Law of Attraction. Lotus Essence Thank you kindly. ETA: for some reason, my link isn't working. Maybe this will work. www.lotusessence.com Editing post again: That link isn't working either. Why can't I get to my page from this site, but can get to it in another window?????
Nice layout and colors - both are pleasing to the eye. The meta keywords is in place, but the meta description is missing. Video blogging might go very well with your site.
Thank you for your feedback. I need to read up on meta descriptions as I have no idea what they are or how you know they are missing. Maybe it's in the view source. What do you mean by video blogging? I was actually thinking of making a few Youtube Videos and posting them on my site. Is that what you mean? Also, do you think that my posts are too long.ish? Thanks again for your review.
Yes, that is what I meant. no, I do not think your post are too long. But I would mix it up a little bit. Maybe add some micro blog post to go with the ones you already have posted. On my blog, sometimes I will post a short paragraph with a video. Then the next post might be 2 or 3 paragraphs. So if your worried about the post being too long, mix it up a little bit. Make a couple of long post, then make a couple of short post.
Got it!. And may I ask, why do you think my site is a good candidate for video blogging? Just curious.
Why would video blogging be good for you? Because men love beautiful women. Take a look at this lady - http://www.youtube.com/user/MRirian She just sits in front of the camera, and has gotten millions of views. Most of the top subscribed people on youtube are women. And there is a reason for that.
Aaaaahhhh. I.get.it.now. And here I am thinking there was some deep SEO strategy going on here. lol Thank you! You are too kind.
I just viewed the video. She is no woman, that is a little girl. However, the amount of views on her 30 second videos are INSANE? Although I have no idea what she is saying, I find this truly amazing. WOW!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess I'm on the right track then. I've been submitting articles to Social Marker and now I need towork on getting in some directories. I submitted to DMOZ, but I'm not sure if I'm listed yet. Again, thanks for looking and commenting.
Hi Kev, I took your advice and added my first video post. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
