  • Blog SEO Tips

    “Here are a few neat Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tips to help your blog rank a little higher in search engines. Why should you listen to me about blog SEO? Granted this blog is fairly new, and PageRank 0, but most of my posts get listed in Google for the keyword I want within minutes, and I am actually on the first page right now for “adsense privacy” and “adsense cookies” (depends on your browsing history now).

    Now, it is not very difficult to get into the first page as a “recent” result, even without much SEO – these are blog posts and other news items within the last few hours that show up in Google search results. Try it – if you search Google for relevant news when it happens (try Googling a Twitter trend) you will see a few blogs and sites with lower “authority” but when you search for them a few hours later they will be lower.

    Often, these “fresh results” seem to completely drop out of the search results before going into the “main” index. Remember: now that Google uses your web history to refine results, you may need to clear cookies, clear web history, and change your Google search settings to see the “default” results, and you have less control over your position for your target keyword phrases in actual visitor searches.”

    “I first began blogging a little less than three years ago and I have certainly come a long way in this field since that first post. At first, it was a passive hobby, something to satisfy my knack at web and graphic design while at the same time being able to express what I was learning. Yet now, I love the passion of writing and the excitement of encouraging and challenging others.

    A very large portion of my audience here at Site Sketch 101 is composed of other like-minded bloggers. Many of you find yourself somewhere along that same journey that I have been taking. Many of you want to improve your abilities to influence others through your blog.

    It is important to begin with content. Many other attributes of a blog, including design and marketing, are useless if you cannot provide your readers with quality entertaining, challenging, and informative articles. In fact, you may have the neatest design in the world, yet without great posts your readership will only be mediocre. Follow these guidelines to begin transforming the quality of your blog.”

    “There are times when blogging can be tough and it feels like we have just run out of ideas for our blog posts or as a freelancer we sometimes think there’s nothing else to write about.  Where does the muse go when we are feeling like this, and how can we get it back?

    The muse doesn’t go anywhere, we just have to find the spark that will ignite the muse back into action and keep us writing.  There is no need to ever run out of ideas for articles or blog posts, you could write 100 posts per day and still never run out of ideas.  However, if you ever feel like your head has been emptied and you have no more ideas left, just take a look at some of these tips and you will be sure to connect with your muse again.”
