Free Blog Consulting Part 8
Posted by: | CommentsThis will most likely be the last article in the Free Blog Consulting series. These articles were written to give you an idea about the process of starting a blog. We started by doing keyword research, we bought a domain name and then we walked through the process of getting the site hosted and installing Wordpress. From there we added a theme and plugins and pages and posted the first article on the site. The site is now about eighteen days old. I did a Google search this morning for cool new inventions and this was the result:
I also did a check on what the traffic to the site has been over the last week:
In eighteen days the site came from no where and moved to the number 1 Google return. It is very likely that this is temporary, but it is a good sign that over time the site can become the number one return for that search. Our hope from the beginning was to have the site be the number one return for the Google search cool inventions. The site has been showing up in position five for that search. but over time it should be able to work its way up to number one. What it is left for the Cool New Inventions site? We have to build links and add content. One of the ways we will build links is to use article marketing. For our article marketing campaign we will start by writing five articles over the next couple of months that we will distribute for publication on the Internet. I use a service for this provided by Distribute Your Articles. Once I write an article, I submit it to Distribute Your Articles, they check it out for any problems it might have, and they in turn submit the article to hundreds of sites around the Internet. As each of these sites publishes the article, our site gets two links. The potential is for each of these articles to produce hundreds of links for the site. What about duplicate content? I am careful not to post the articles I use for article marketing on my own sites, so any problems that might happen with duplicate content are not my problems. Duplicate content would be an issue for the sites who publish the articles to deal with, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue for those types of sites.
I will continue to add content to the site over the next couple of months to see if I can secure the number one spot on Google for all of our intended keywords. The process that we have followed is the process that many people try and use to make money on the Internet. If you can get the right keyword that pays enough money per click and develop a strong flow of traffic then you could potentially make some money. If you had a bunch of sites like that, you could potentially make a living. The people making the most money are the ones that are selling this information to people who are looking to make money. You, however, found the information for free here on Blog Consulting.
Optimizer Man and the Aquaculture Tanks
Posted by: | Comments
I (Optimizer Man) recently took on a Blog Consulting project for a company that builds turn key fish farms. This company has been one of the pioneers in patenting and producing efficient aquaculture tanks and diffusers and also building and developing fish farms all over the world. Since they have been extremely busy over the years, they had neglected their Internet presence and their existing website, which had been put on line in 2001, was in really bad shape. The existing, very old website, did not respond to any keyword searches that would have any practical application in today’s market. So, the question became, what online marketing strategies could I use to provide an effective Internet presence.
I started out by doing some extensive keyword research. I was looking for keywords that would generate some traffic, and also be within our reach in a short period of time. All of the major keyword phrases encompassing fish farms and fish farming are highly competitive and already well represented by websites with high page ranks. I eventually settled on a keyword phrase that received about 1000 exact requests on Google every month and that I believed we could compete in within a few months of getting started. The keyword phrase I selected was Aquaculture Tanks.
My next step was to purchase a suitable domain name and I found that www.aquaculturetanks.net was available, so we purchased it. I then hosted the website (we used Good News Domains for both purchasing the domain name and hosting) and installed WordPress. Since the old website would not be helpful in our online marketing strategies, we simply pointed the old domain name (in case people still used it from old literature, etc.) at the new site.
I added a theme that would allow us to build an attractive site and provide information about aquaculture farming and the services our client can provide. The theme that we are using is in effect a blog, but I set up the blog with a static front page which gives it the appearance of a more traditional website. Here is a look at the final product:
