Blog Topics

Wonderful, thank you for the referrals! I actually just found SEOBook the other day and it has been extremely helpful. I'm going to check out seochat.com as soon as I finish typing this post :)

Steve: thank you for the vote of confidence! Like you, I pay close attention to members who demonstrate their expertise on here and it always makes me want to give back in kind. I certainly see why someone might not want to divulge their secrets. Fortunately for me, for marketing it's so often about time and dedication. Often I've found getting directed to the tools is only the first step in a successful campaign, as everyone here is surely aware. Of course, there are some tools that are oh so much more efficient than others. A lot of my "expertise" comes from hours of trial and error -- partly why I'm SO looking forward to that seochat forum you mentioned, Conor.

But yeah, I sure would like to know those trade secrets ;)
 
Seomoz is another location that I frequent - right there at the top of the list Cal.

THe other place with too much info is WebProWorld's forums. Post a question on SEO or a theory about how "X" might work, and be bombarded with answers within hours (not days). Like any other forum, there's some things that need to be taken with a grain of salt, and everyone has an opinion ;)
 
Alright me hearties, here is my first (very basic) SEO article. I'm currently working on elaborating on each of the four steps (provided by the wonderful Cal Hesson). More to come!

Okay, apparently I can't post that link.

SEO Article & Domain Age

Hello,

Nice article and thanks for the kind plug. ;-) Learning about SEO is like anything else, it's a journey that begins with the first step, and you have taken that first step. I hope you continue on that path.

Now I have a question about Domain Names for the forum.

When an aged domain (let's say a 5 year old domain name) is sold to someone else and they register it under their own name, does Google reset their domain age counter back to zero, or do the years before the registrant change still apply to the domain name?

I realize a record of any previous web site would still sit on the WayBackMachine, but does Google reset their Domain Name age value back to zero, or do the previous years still count on the Domain Name?
 
I am not sure why do you think blog topics should be an article. I would rather like to see informality in my service company blog like their experience with different level of support and service. What are they planning in future etc. Whatever you are talking about, shouldn't be a topic for "BLOG" just to make search engine position. These are article base and they are definitely different than a blog post.

It's not just for search engine position, though that is an added benefit. It's also to build a readership and traffic. We write about all different kinds of topics, including service and support. I think more informal blog posts alongside more formal articles provide the best of both worlds -- overall, the most informative and interesting reading.
 
I agree with Anneke, although I can see your point. What are prospects searching for once they find your site, or what are your clients looking for on your site - information. If the information (content) they find is relevant, whether it's in article or informal format, they'll likely stick around. :)
 
Definitely don't see SEO getting boring! I once worked picking up paper rolls off a conveyor belt and handing them to a woman who then put them into a box - that was boring. I lasted all of 4 days. :D
 
I guess, just like anything, if you're not interested in SEO and you don't care about your page rank, it could get boring quick. But if that's you, maybe web hosting isn't the best business choice? Or maybe you can just hire people to handle the SEO for you. But yeah, it sure ain't boring to me either!!
 
Talking about all webmaster related issues could be great as all sites admins, no matter what business they are maintaining and moderating are interested in reading more on these issues like promoting websites and generating cash from them. Even though your blog could mainly cover the hosting related ideas, but like forums you can commence talking about lots of other web related points.
 
Personally I think there are tons of SEO articles out there and I'm currently more interested in articles of running a hosting business. Problems you get while running the business and how you fixed them etc. And how to prevent common mistakes! :P
