More SEO - Blogs

So, now for a discussion on how blogs can help increase your search engine rankings.

The idea here is to create a blog and optimize it for your keywords, just as you would you website. Since one of my keywords is free business ebooks, I would use free busines ebooks in the title, description and content of the blog. I would use it in each post as it naturally occurs. I could use it in the labels of my posts. If my posts contain link back to my website - great! If the text of the link back to my website contains my keywords - even better!

Use ping-o-matic to advise the world each time you post to your blog.

Also, tell all of your friends and family and blog subscribers to subscribe to the rss feed of your blog and put it on their Yahoo and Google home pages. Then, when you make a post, the search engines will know about it as other people are being notified about the change in content. Since your posts contain links back to your website, your website will also get crawled by the search engine "bots", leading to an increase in your rankings.

When you search your keywords, you may see your blog as well as your website in the results - fantastic! Two ways for potential customers to reach you.

Stay tuned for a discussion on using forums to increase your rankings....
