Comment from: Karl Burger [Visitor] Thanks for this great post. I am new at blogging, but I know all of the Comment from: Guest [Visitor] Karl, Glad to hear you are getting involved in blogging. Soemtimes it's good to have a guide in front of you when blogging reminding you of exactly what you need to do to get indexed. The big thing is remember to select one key term to focus on per post, include it in the title of your post and then repeat it througout the post at least 4 times. Good luck and blog speed, Mary In three short weeks, this strategy has allowed me to own the front page for the term "jumbo rates report", also.
The dramatic rise in hits is astounding! While I typically had 200-300 hits per day, my new blog, when hosted here and written with keyword content, rose to over 800 hits per day (and rising). I've had three days over 1000 hits.
Friday, I surpassed 1400 hits. Today, 1000 hits, in 2008? I'm adding a zero (10,000) Comment from: Teri Isner [Visitor] I am going to start keeping the keyword list right by me when we write and watch some of the other bloggers titles and style. Laurie Manny has been very helpful too! Once in awhile though a blog must just go up for fun especially at Halloween! Comment from: Marc Blasi [Visitor] There's no question that it's possible! BTW, Palm Beach Mortgages is ALSO on the 1st page. Not that I like to brag.... Comment from: Guest [Visitor] Brian, We are so happy for your results. Teri, I can't believe how fast your blog is climbing in the SERPS Marc, We figure you just have your mafia friends hold Google hostage for your rankings. But, hey, whatever works and who are we to mess with Tony Soprano himself? Comment from: Mary Pope-Handy [Visitor] Hi Mary, Comment from: Laurie.Manny [Member] The only thing more satisfying than seeing your work at the top of the engines is when the leads roll in as a result of it. Considering the flavor of our current market, this is a godsend.
Comment from: Guest [Visitor] Laurie, That is very very true. Your results have exceeded even our expectations. I am so glad tohear how busy you are now due to your blog. So, for all the nay sayers out there that dispute traffic and leads, just ask Ms. Manny... she is a working exampe of how a blog can really build your business. Comment from: Arlington Virginia Condos [Visitor] A blog can totally rank for keywords; there is no doubt. Don't write stupid posts about what you're doing this weekend. Write heavy posts full of good content that you researched and then optimize it along the way and afterwards. You will have a flow of business while others' # of transactions are going down. jay Comment on this article This post has no feedback awaiting moderation... |
