So Google is dominating search even more …
The question is: Are you talking to the search engine powerhouse?
Are you giving Google a roadmap to your content by using the free or cheap resources available on the Web?
Here’s the super simple formula I’ve used for two years of blogging:
WordPress
+ Sitemap Plugin
+ Pretty Permalinks
+ Good Headline Writing
+ SEO-ized Theme
= Better Google Results
It works.
I could show you my first blog’s stats and how I’ve barely even touched it for the last 8 months (hey, I’ve been distracted) and how it still gets 500-600 daily visitors without any real effort on my part now.
Now … I didn’t say you’ll get traffic equivalent of rush hour in L.A.
But … you can get targeted and residual traffic within a niche that happens to be YOUR TARGET MARKET.
This formula … it’s really too simple … because I’ve explained it dozens of times to clients and people still search for the magic bullet … so I’m working on a more complex formula that actually incorporates some sort of quantum physics (or at least some mathematical jargon) I don’t even understand.
I think only then will people stop wasting their time past that simple formula and refocus that energy on creating better content.
