Learn SEO First
If you plan to set up a blog or website you need to learn SEO first. Don’t go blindly into it without at least knowing the basics, because you will make really dumb mistakes that will COST you big time! How do I know this? Well, how else? I did it! My first blog, God rest it’s soul, is out there in cyberspace doing nothing.
I fully admit this is due to my stupidity. Now I know, some 8 months later in the deal, what SEO is and continue to study and work on techniques as I go, as all bloggers and web owners should. If not, then we deserve to fall on our face.
Yes, you can outsource it, but many times the so called SEO experts use language we don’t understand and tell us anything. Then follow up with not doing anything as well.
So, I say again learn search engine optimization aka SEO first! If you don’t have any idea what it is then you definitely need to do your due diligence and get busy studying.
If you don’t do this your site will not be found by search engines or people and will be of no benefit to you or anyone else. You may be a great writer with killer graphics and all the bells and whistles, but if the site isn’t optimized then it’s dead in the water.
You don’t have to be an expert just get the basics down. Find a profitable niche using keyword tools then you will know what domain name and title is best. It helps if the title is in the url. The post titles should have keywords as well as the content of those posts.
Everything needs to be relevant using synonyms and LSI this includes links coming inbound. If you leave a comment on a blog make it one that is relevant to your site. Look for high ranking sites to leave comments and ask to trade links with them.
Learn SEO first, it isn’t hard you just need to get the facts and use them. Research and read is the best advice I can give and another big tip is to check out Griz’s site at Make Money for Beginners, it’s a blogspot, but don’t let that fool you, he’s the man when it comes to search engine optimization. If you’re wise you’ll check him out.
And if you’re a complete newbie do the 30 Day Challenge, it’s free and a great way to learn basic internet marketing skills.
I also recommend the use of a mentor and the Niche Blogger is the best place for blog mentoring. You can check it out for 3 days free by clicking here.
