This advice is from Lisa at http://www.2createawebsite.com/ on her youtube.com video.
She says "link exchanges" are not the way to go so much - That is when you put another website link on your site in exchange from them putting your website link on theirs. She says search engines can detect that.
One way links - Someone just likes your site and links to you. These are the best kind.
Make your site unique - develop a site with your own content, niche, flavor and personality.
That's the best way to show a credible site. Write for the humans to read the page, not the search engines.
She says to use the basic SEO advice --- like meta-tags.
And to keep key words on the title and repeat them in the content maybe once.
MARKETING - writing well ... good content - that is what it is all about, says Lisa.
Also, that you need the passion and fire to have ideas to write about ... And can't be afraid to fail.
Targeted Marketing: Not enough to send a blast e-mail to friends on facebook - they may look out of curiosity, but not to keep revisiting. Need to target people who are into what you are writing about.
a) article marketing
b) youtube marketing
c) posting in forums relevant to your niche
What I Learnt (did) Today:
1) I spent a bit of time watching videos on youtube by Lisa from http://www.2createawebsite.com/ and David Skul of http://www.relativitycorp.com/ - he's really nice and smart.
2) THE MOST POPULAR WAY TO RAISE YOUR SITE RANK AND TO DRIVE WEBSITE TRAFFIC IS THROUGH INCREASING QUALITY CONTENT (good, 'cuz thats my favorite thing to do!). Google likes to find websites that have a lot of content. UPDATE EVERY SINGLE DAY!
3) Another popular one is article marketing. (http://www.ezine.com/) That gives you backlinks.
4) Posting videos ... Video submissions. (http://www.tubemogul.com/ - distributes it for free)
5) ww.technorati.com - place to list your blog ... will check it out tomorrow
6) Social Networking sites and bookmark my blog ... Make a nice profile ...
7) I added an image to my blog ... not too difficult but first time is always a bit longer ... Still sure I can learn better ways to do it - So far the way I did it today was uploading a pic from my computer by going to the design tab and added the gadget - "add image".
My Goals in Order to Keep Me Focused:
- To eventually make money through my website through affiliate marketing.
- At the very least to learn about on-line marketing so I can enter into the business - either employed by a marketing agency doing sales or account services.
- Or to become a professional content creator and get paid for it.
In order to make $ through affiliate marketing, I need to really work on increasing traffic to my site so that when people visit it they click on the ads.
So.... I will work on those 2 goals at around the same time - getting affiliates and driving in traffic - through marketing the blog.
Tomorrow: (with G-d's Help)
1) Keep learning techniques on how to market the site and get traffic to the site and visitors.
Search: blogging traffic, marketing ...
2) Submit my RSS feed - (no idea what that is ... I need to google it) Submit it to as many different aggregators as I can ... feedburner.com ?
3) Post my URL everywhere! http://new-to-n
Link to other blogs- even if they don't link back, it's ok.
4) Submit my blog to a blog database site http://www.technorati.com/
