Hello, i just wondering what if i make new blog and add one very quality article every week ... i mean article like small ebook ... i spend about 1-2h to write something like this. I would be write about making money online, with image hosting - proxy network - blogging and stuff like that ... How Google/yahoo and other search engines like blogs like that one, I plain to create ? Advices are welcome.
The search engines love quality content. But you still have to market your Blog. You need in-coming links. Which still means link exchanges, directory submissions, article marketing, press releases and all the usual hard work elements of internet marketing. Then you need to monetize your blogs with ads, affiliate programs, RSS product feeds or whaterver. Still, if you're writing good quality content you can eventually gather it all into an eBook and then you can sell that as well.
Or, if you actually choose a subject that isn't used by 1,000,000+ other blogs on the internet you might see the results your looking for.
an easier route to get traffic (assuming you have such a domain) get a high traffic relevant domain name to drive visitors
And don't forget to separate each keyword with hyphens, ex.: make-money-online.com rather then: makemoneyonline.com
moneydude, that is a very good strategy. The others are right - you will need incoming links, too. If these links are "deep" (linking to pages in your site besides the homepage), that is all the better.
Personally, I avoid blogs with long, rambling posts (except my own personal blog, but I don't want to make money from that). I'd say keep the posts shorter and more frequent - maybe 2-3 500 word posts per week instead of 1 1,500/word post.
Yep, shorter but more frequent posts is the best solution. Also, posts should include targeted keywords in the body, url, and title.
Anything you need to know about "how to blog" you can find at www.problogger.net There is no better resource on the net.
Seach engines don't care about hyphens or no hyphens they are smart enough to know the difference. As far as the long informative posts. I'm with most of the other people. Keep them short. Unless you've built a dedicated following, most people aren't going to read a 1,500-2,000 word treatise. But, they would read 300 words if the content was good and interesting. Plus it serves a dual purpose by keeping it to 300 words, and posting more often. You'll be able to get google coming by more often. You can social bookmark each single page and end up getting even more links into your site. You can ping all the services at pingoat.com, etc. So lots of reasons for short and sweet, rather than long and indigestible.
moneydude, blogging is the way to go. Yes, writing unique quality content can get you tons of great traffic from the search engines especially if you optimize it for proper low competition keywords. Also, do remember to ping each post at pingoat.com like what Fred Rose mentioned. If you can, try to use WordPress as they have the most number of useful plugins. Use FeedBurner on your blog, and social bookmark each post. They work great. This is what I do for my network of blogs and they bring in a lot of cash.
Sorry but hyphenated domain names do make a difference with spider based engines like Google and AltaVista. Spiders have difficulty sorting out keywords if they are not separated... This is not true however for directory based engines such as Netscape and AOL because they just take their results from a directory.
I have a site that has the word in it with blog and website. I post articles that have anything to do with blogging. Such as blogosphere, how to blog, social networking and blogs et cetera. Both Google bot and Yahoo Slurp and are running neck in neck in my awstats. MSN appears to be confused with what are blogs and the benefits et cetera. MSN glossed over a few times.
people are making millions writting blogs. if you write few quality articles on a regular basis, continue doing so. secret behind success with blogs is to keep writting and never give up. and of course, marketing is the key. keep writing and traffic will come. and traffic = $$$
Word count is also a bit of a matter of taste. I probably make posts on forums that are more than two hundred fifty words each. If you can manage to come up with a 1k+ article, without just stretching the subject out, then all the power to you. Most of the time, I think people just say to keep blogs under four - five hundred words because most bloggers don't know how to write well enough to keep people wanting to read. ;p If you can write well enough to have the page turner effect, you're golden no matter how long you make it. The only two ways I know how to get that effect is by making sure your work is high quality, and understandable. Admittedly, I'm not at that level of linguistic expertise myself yet. It's a work in progress that slowly gets better with self-editing. That's just my view, and I know it's not the most popular one. Add about a hundred words to this post and you have the average recommended blog posting.
