The first post. Always a difficult read. In fact, if you're reading this 1000 posts on in the hopefully colourful life of this blog, just skip on. To the colour.
So what will I be taking up your time with? If you pay attention you'll notice that I have more interests and occupations than hours to tease them with. SEO (Search Engine Optimisation for the uninitiated) will dominate, as it makes me the frugal sums I live on. Or rather drink on as food's not too dear. This includes my various growing online businesses. Why? Because without a a large marketing budget, SEO is the only way to get the message out to my potential clients. It works like this:
- Build up a decent, respectable looking site with something to offer. This is by far the most important step.
- SEO that motha till you get to top 3 in MSN, then Yahoo, then Google for the keywords you are targeting.
- If you've done step 1 well, and step 2, then you will get visitors that find your site useful. Those visitors have friends, colleagues, clients, bosses, taxi drivers…
- SEO becomes unnecessary as you will gain more natural links than you could ever hope to garner unnaturally.
SEO is scaffolding.
May this post not be my last, as so many of my other blogs have dragged their heels before they could walk.
