Hi all, I've taken the time to read some books on seo but I'm left with some questions still ... For instance about blogging. In most of the books I've learned how to optimize a content page (be it an article orso...) by gaining link pop. and targetting the right keywords ... then the page will rank higher over time ... This obviously doesn't work for blogging or other user content driven sites, since the content is all the time changing (added by users ... ) So my question is ofcourse ... in what way is SEO performed for blogs ? And is it harder to get blogs ranked high in the list ? gr, FOP
Actually it is easier to get a blog ranked, IMHO. I have used several methods. One of the quickest ways is to find a site with a blogging system that already has authority and work from there. Glad to provide an example is you wish. Also if you are careful in adding content, you can do a great deal of good SEO on your content. This is especially true on category pages. i have found them to work awesome as well. Since you only keyword optimize the first paragraph of each post, you can keep a consistent theme and keep that page well ranked Best; Eric
Thanks for your reply eric. So that means that I'll be moderating a whole bunch if the blog starts running ... By the way ... does anyone have any experience with wordpress and SEO ? FOP
I run a few Wordpress blogs. What you need is a few plugins... Like Ultimate Tag Warrior Google sitemap generator The Top X Number of posts featured
im using wordpress for my blog, using wordpress is much easier just like cms.(i think more easy than cms). just make sure regular update, seo friendly post, backlink, etc.
Try this. Find a very competitive keyword. Then check out the first few places in Google. Look at their layout over a period of about 2 months. When I did this I noticed that the higher placed sites were changing the content on their front page regularly. I'm will Eric - believe that blogs are easier to rank with & use wordpress with a few seo based plugins to maximise ranking.
