I'm going to start SEO - What to do?

I'm starting to learn more and more about SEO and I want to start dabbling in it.

I'm going to create a new site to test my SEO skills on, firstly I'd like to know what I should create:

Niche Site - Original content, never updates.
Autoblog - Copied content, but updates daily.
Affiliate Site - Original content, never updates.

Or, any other suggestions about the type of site to make?

Thanks.

 

You should develop a website which should not have copy content and you must update it on daily basis so that search crawlers crawl it on regular basis. This would make your website search engine friendly.

 

you can take any Niche Site, Autoblog, Affiliate Site.

Make right meta and promote your site.

 

If you want to do seo and you are new guy in SEO then instead of website you should create a blog and do SEO process on that blog.
Easy to learn and not expensive.

 

if you are new in this field then, you should get a niche blog (the one you like) ... start building it... go to SN sites, do SB... and write unique content, doesn't matter you update it on daily basis or 3 times a week ... what matter most is your content quality ...
Read articles how to promote your blog... sign in to various web based online tools for ex. Google Analytic..
If no budget problem, then try PPC program, you will get a great deal of knowledge about marketing and stuffs..
Try link exchange, one of the most important factor in SEO field...

that's it for now... it is enough ... ..

 

Thank you all so much for the information.

What's the SEO viewpoint on spun or rewritten content? If it passes CopyScape does it mean it'll be good for search engines?

 

There's alot of people out there that try spinning, and if you do a good enough job, it can pass copyscape, and Google will index it, but here's the thing.

If you use spun content, then it is very likely to not be very readable to PEOPLE. And it's PEOPLE who should be your targeted audience. It's PEOPLE that you want to try to get to link to you, and it's PEOPLE that make your site more popular, and therefore have more traffic. Yes, search engines can be fooled into thinking that your site has some value, and they may rank your site highly for a time. But you won't get any repeat visitors, and no one will purposefully link to you, both of which make a site MUCH more difficult to promote. not to mention that your bounce rate is likely to be high, therby causing your ranking to eventually suffer anyways.

In the end, it's always going to be better to either write your own original content, or at the very least, completely re-write old content making it unique and original.

 

you should create a website with unique content rather than replicating the content. personally, i would suggest you to set up a blog. if it's a blog with great content then you are expected to get high traffic on it.

hope this helps.
