Public Relations and Marketing Blogging If Public Relations and Marketing firms gain a stronghold on blogging activities, perhaps ‘authentic’ individual voice that began blogging craze will be lost in rubble. This is worry of many devoted bloggers. Or, maybe this trend could strengthen position of political or gossip oriented bloggers. Perhaps ‘devoted bloggers’ who were working in restaurant and retail industry, will now find they’re being offered opportunity to blog for money instead of slave away over a hot grill, or at a cash register. This is where whole blogging debate takes over. Ethical versus Unethical Blogging Who actually has ‘right’ to blog? What does an authentic blogger look and feel and sound like? How do you identify a slick, Public Relations blogger? Should blogging remain in realm of individual voice? Or will it be usurped by multinational corporations and governments for their own devious purposes? These are all valid questions, and I’m afraid I do not possess an answer to any of these ethical questions about blogging. I feel that individual person, company, or entity must answer these questions on their own. But there is one thing I am absolutely certain about. Everyone has a right to blog, just as every one has a right to write and publish their work in public sphere, which includes internet.

You may have noticed, I never mentioned when to submit your site to Google, that's thing, don't. If google picks up your site before you submit it, you get a way better rank. Now you have come up with a very good SEO website. Now you need to make sure not to blow it. Whatever you do, DON'T: 1: Have link exchanges with non-relevant sites, this will hurt you. 2: Do not cheat. Cheating is placing "invisible" keywords on your site. (white text on white background) Googlebot picks it up, and boom, no more rank on Google. 3: If you find need to submit your site, do it, ONCE. If you submit twice then, say goodbye to your rank. That's all and good luck with SEO. With this, good keywords, and minimal compition, you will get within top 20 of Google.
