Yes. I printed out all of his blogs, spread them out on the floor, and got down amd rolled around in them. I feel much better now.

Re: Blog Rollin Down The River


This is new today, I put ads on my blog, all of them point to my site.
Why advertise someone else business (unless you make real money doing it)?

Re: Blog Rollin Down The River


If you are blogging to enhance your SEO, the same strategies should be used as on your websites pages. Keywords in the headers and sub-headers. Every "new page" of your blog is considered a "page" of your website, so you can tackle lots of keywords through your blog assuming you have at least some related content on your actual site to back it up.

If you are using a free forum for your blogging, crawlers don't always pick up on them so there is a chance you might not be getting "credit" for your words unless you set up a feedburner. We've incorporated blogging into our new website we are building, so if you look on the old site it isn'there yet (just a little FYI) !

Re: Blog Rollin Down The River


Blogs can have tremendous benefit if you can constantly keep your blog updated and helpful to the readers.. I recommend using a WP platform (wordpress) host it on your own website url.. And watch your SERP'S rise!!!

Re: Blog Rollin Down The River


I say: then talk. Talk about anything. I remember being confused by "what do I blog about"? Then I realized just talk about stuff you like and stuff you know about. I don't think every blog post you ever make has to be out of this world.

Re: Blog Rollin Down The River


Not sure I can post a link here, so I'll try to do with without a link

erardpianorestoration.blogspot.com

This wasn't a work-related project, it was a hobby project. But I made progress postings, and all of the postings are now in the google index. What do I get back for it? Well, I have links in the right sidebar that point to my business websites.

Now, if I was a home builder, I could easily just do a progress blog about the job, it would work just as well
