1. Have compelling content: always make sure you are writing for real people, not just for the search engine spiders. the other reason is nothing more than it will give you a following, people will recommend you to friends and will even search for you through google and the like, this again will get the se’s looking for content written you , oh lastly, choose a pen name that is uniqueso that there is more chance of you and your content being found. This has two benefits, it gives your visitors something that they will want to read, the se (atleast google) knows how long people stay on your site and if they stay a read a good lengthy article of post, this will give you better ranking and will even give you better prices for ebery click you get should you be using adsense on that page. Make sure you update your content frequently (weekly at a minimum and if possible, daily). No one wants to go to a site that contains old information. 2. Start a blog as it is the easiest way to get links (Wordpress is the way to go) Google is the 10,000lb Gorilla. And Google has loved Blogs for quite some time. Need I say more?? 3. Smart marketing; with WordPress you have SEO covered Default WP is good at SEO but specific plug-ins and techniques make it great. I am convinced that Wordpress will maintain a leadership role in the blogosphere for a while to come. Seems that folks who stick with TypePad, etc. do so for niche reasons that I don’t quite understand. If you do go with WP, then make sure you get All in One SEO Pack Read more about it here Source: http://www.searchreadyseo.com
Nice Article.. I went with wordpress for my blog and my site. If you dont use All in one seo, make sure to set permalink to %postname%.
I thought about using Wordpress but I heard security updates are always being released because it gets hacked a lot. Has anyone personally experienced this?
Just keep up with the security updates. Wordpress is the ONLY way to go. Don't believe the hype though, that all you have to do is build it and they will come. It's not about good content. It's about good marketing, good headlines, THEN good content.
Thanks. This was very informative. I did not know about The wordpress and SEO or that google regards blogs so highly
All IN One SEO -- the bet ever! If you want to rank you need to start researching keywords and learning SEO!
The great thing about a wordpress blog, is your content doesnt have to be written. You can created audios, videos, pictures etc and it all is good content. You just have to name it with the keywords your are targeting. But make sue that the content is relevant so that your visitors will be interested. Hope this helps TLCMKT
I would add quality design and good usability of the site. Without that customers will just leave it.
