What is Blog and Ping for SEO?
What is Blog and Ping?
Using Blog and Ping is still the way to go but why blog in the
first place?
I do not know about you but I struggle with all the technical
terms spouted out when people talk about SEO. One I have heard
for a while is Blog & Ping. I will be honest. I have yet to blog
anything. I have hundreds of websites but not one is a blog.
Why? Good question.
Ok Blog & Ping. This is not a perfect definition since I could
not get someone to explain it so I could understand it. The
funny thing is when I read all these forums, emails and sales
letters from these marketing guru's who are all making a
gazillion dollars every day, I feel like I don't even know how
to work a computer. I do web design and network maintenance for
a living but they make me feel like I don't even know where the
power switch is. Sound familiar? Well this EZine is going to
stop that. No hype. No wording to make you feel left out. I just
feel many people leave out the basics on how to do things which
I will try to explain.
The setup of a blog program like wordpress is not hard but I
seem to have this weird aversion to blogs. I will do so many
other SEO type things like look for link exchanges, low cost ppc
words, site keyword tweaking but I won't find the time to blog!
Maybe it is the constant updating I am afraid of? But I think I
better get on board with this now. And you should too.
Blog & Ping is a process where you have a blog setup, you make a
post and it communicates with these authority type sites to let
them know you have updated your blog. What happens then is these
sites are looked at by google and other search engines for fresh
content. These search engines are like a dog with rabies looking
for the next victim. They are in search of new content...fresh
content. The search engine users want new content. What better
way to give this to them by using newly created blog material.
So what does this mean for you? Get a blog setup today and start
writing. Anything you write yourself qualifies as fresh content
and the search engines will love it. Talk about your site's
subject and anything related to it. I know it is not easy to sit
and think of something to write but in reality you can get a few
paragraphs out in 15 minutes. If you really hate to write, hire
someone through a service such as scriptlance.com or elance.com
to update your blog. You would be very surprised how cheap this
is. You must have unique fresh content to survive today. I hate
to write. But I am doing it. I am just trying to simplify this
crazy SEO world and break down things to do. Most things I
suggest are things I am doing myself or trying.
If you are very busy ... try using a auto blog tool. I bought
one called AutoBlogBui
lder. I have tested it and the features seem perfect for
me as I cannot seem to keep things updated on a schedule. It has
many controls such as how often to update the blog, where the
content comes from and more. The best thing is to be able to use
these blogs which are updated several times a day and put
adsense ads on them! I would suggest you take a look at this
automated tool (which is very easy to setup click this, click
that). The developer even offers a money back guarantee if you
are not satisfied. This is rare as you know no off the shelf
software gives you this type of offer.
I will have more articles on blogging and SEO in the future...
