RSS Directories Blogs also have a built in distribution method known as RSS. This allows you to push your updated content out to people who subscribe through an RSS reader such as Bloglines or FeedDemon as well as Yahoo and MSN. This ability allows you to communicate directly with subscribers but it can also help get your main site noticed and indexed by major search engines. Yahoo, for example, allows people (including you) to subscribe to your blog’s RSS feed. On day you create your blog, you can subscribe to it via a free MyYahoo account and Yahoo will visit and index your blog for free. It has no choice.

Linking Is Key Part of blogging culture is predisposition to link to and from quality content that relates to subject your are blogging about. In other words, bloggers like to link. Links from other high quality blogs will send traffic and get your blog and web site noticed.

So, your blog marketing strategy a little like this: Set-up a blog and start posting. Ping each time your make a new entry. Submit your blog to major blog and RSS directories. Start looking for link partners. Repeat

In last few weeks I set-up blogs for an attorney, a label manufacturer, and a remodeling contractor. In each case, blogs were indexed and spidered by major search engines within 48 hours. Traffic to main web sites for these businesses (although a bit meager to start with) has already doubled or tripled. Traffic from each of major search engines is now showing up for a large number of important search terms and phrases.

Who knows how long this blog traffic bonanza will last but at this moment a blog has never made more sense.

Now that you’ve done preliminaries such as picking your 100 keywords, and know how to slip them into your blog posts, these are next steps you’ll need to take:

1.Build links to your blog, do this by following ways. Link your blog from each page on your website, post comments on other blogs that are similarly themed. Ask if you can link to them.

2.Submit your blog and RSS feed to big directories. This will expand your community of readers and keep old ones coming back for more.

3.Make sure that your side navigation bar is present on all your blog posts, so that search engines can easily spider your blog.

4.Frequently post blogs. Search engine spiders strive on fresh content.

5.Stay with domain you’ve picked. If you move, you’ll lose important data; traffic and worse, your position in search engine rankings.

Use these basics to get started. You’ll get to top in a short time. Make posting new content on your blog a habit and you’ll stay there.

I have been able to get to top positions for important keyword phrases simply by naming my blog post according to keyword I am targeting... so I know that blogging DOES work.
