SEO Sucks - Part Two
…continued from SEO Sucks part one
If you haven’t read part one, it was just me ranting on about how SEO sucks and the real secret is just bloody write more articles for the same target phrase and make sure your article are the best available online.
SEO Sucks Step Two
- Promote The Article
I use Ping.fm to post out a quicker, shorter 15 minute version of the article / story and it gets sent out to a combination of blogs, micro-blogs and social site status updates. I do one post for the micro-blog 140 character sites and a second for all the blog 140+ character sites. One click and it goes out to 35 different websites that are not hosted on the same server as mine. often its just a brief announcement that is promoting the article I just wrote on my site, and I usually include a link back to said article.Ping.fm is a good system because its all in one place, but I often use a few more sites (bookmark sites mostly) that are not on ping, simply because I have developed that habit.IMPORTANT - I also use this ‘Ping.FM system’ through my research phase, so by the time I do the actual article promotion post, there are already at least 5 related posts linking to good sites/news/tips I found while I was putting the quality article together. This keeps my satellite sites nice and fresh and I can even update them all just with one text message from my phone.
The result is I have one site with only one, top quality article on it each day and I have 35 other throw-away satellite sites/pages/profiles out there which have at least 3 low quality articles on them each day. That translates to 1 days work and well over 100 relevant links off-site pointing to one link-worthy article on-site. I out perform and out rank the competition, the low quality duplicated content off-site does not dilute the quality of my main website and I make damn sure I keep all the visitors exposed to offers, coming back and also opted into an email list.
…but wait there’s more!
