Our newest project on Blog Consulting is the development of a site that will provide an interactive guitar lesson online. The lessons will be given utilizing Skype (a free Internet software program which enable people to communicate with web cams and microphones over their Internet connection). The logistics of that situation are really pretty easy to resolve. The hardest part of the project will be getting traffic to the site. The keywords for “learning to play guitar” or “online guitar lessons” are very competitive. It will take some time to get the site to show up on the search engines for these searches.

The site is being developed as Learn to Play a Guitar Online. Our SEO strategy for the site includes writing keyword rich articles that provide information about guitars and guitar instruction. These articles will help the site to show up on searches. Remember that the three biggest influences on the search engines are time, links, and content. Content (well written informative articles) is the most important component. Time and links count, but content is King. So far in the process we went to Good News Domains and purchased the domain name, “www.learntoplayaguitaronline.com”. This domain name, which is a little longer than we would have liked, will provide some help in our SEO strategy by incorporating several of the keywords we will be highlihgting (guitar, online, learn to play). We have installed WordPress on the site, added a custom theme, and created a logo. For detailed information on how to create a blog or website using WordPress we recommend that you visit My Newbie Blog (ww.mynewbieblog.com) which provides step by step instructions on getting a blog or website started. As we continue the development of the site we will update this series of articles.
