Do you use the same SEO techniques on blogs and sites? For example, you submit your site to directories. Are there special blog directories or can they be submitted to regular directories?
Many times there is a blog category in general directories. However, there are also blog specific directories that you can get into and even more yet that are just good to ping, such as Technorati. Blogflux.com is a great place to get started to have your blog listed.
No it won´t, generally. But what would be better for your, if you have somewhat more organized structure of your site (e.g. static pages, blog, forum and e-shop on the same domain), you should go for submitting your - www.yoursite.com/static_pages to as many general directories as you could; - www.yoursite.com/blog to as many blog directories as you could; - www.yoursite.com/forum to as many fora directories as you could; - www.yoursite.com/shopping to as shopping directories as you could. Chamging titles and descriptions from time to time so that they reflect your targeted key phrases.
Hi, Bestmiler, there is not enough good fora. So forget having more than just a few good forum directories. Use them all.
got it Kaudo....thanks for the help you guys. One more question, does order of keywords matter? I just checked yahoo for "apple juice" and "juice apple", and it brought up different results? Is it that juice apple trys to target the keyword "juice apple" or what?
alright now that i got that question out of the way (thanks to you guys ), what are some SEO tips/techniques for blogs? I have found this site: http://www.johntp.com/2006/04/21/8-simple-seo-tips-for-blogs/ ....will this be enough? I believe blogs are a great tool for marketing. Which blogs do you think are the best to use (interms of SEO)? Im talking about the blogs that you can sign up for free at sites like blogger.com, wordpress.com, ...
Bestmiler - it is never enough until you've hit #1 on every single search engine for every single one of your keyword phrases. Since that's so mightily difficult, promotion is an ongoing process that we all continually work at. It's not something you can do once and then stop. So, the tips are good, but there are loads more on the web you can find with a bit of searching. Good luck!
thanks for the advice will, i appreciate it. what are some sites that provide free blogs? I only know of blogger.com, wordpress.com and blog-city.com.
idk blogs seem really hard to start from my experience because i can never get people to b interested in me XD
Blogs help a great deal in Marketing thts true. In my opinion you should go for Wordpress blogs Having a blog infact extends your scope for promotion. You can submit your blogs to genral directories as well as special blog directpries and topsites. You may want to check if, you get a direct HTML link back from them, I dont want to advertise here... but you may also want to chk out the two links in my Signature below...
