Send out some scouts, round up the herd, circle the wagons...
- SEO |
WF is chock full of off-page SEO tips, tricks, shenanigans or hoopla. It's very easy to get lost in the hype and if you're a noob, you can get downright lost in the mix and start off on the wrong foot which can suck to reverse out of.
Very few people talk about what it takes to make the website solid before running off into the wilderness to find backlinks. So, what if...you simply circle the wagons? Put 95% (if not more) of your time and effort into making sure your site is something Google and people will want to share with others.
But how will they find your site? I'm not gonna Field of Dreams this for you. Just because you build it they aren't gonna magically come. BUT, if you build it and share it, they just might. In droves perhaps.
And when you get to the blogging part, perhaps it's better to think about what you're gonna write first before you get to pecking the keyboard. Quality articles are better than assembly line and mass produced letter wasters. Or, if you already have a blog with 100s of articles like I do, time to curate that puppy and start pulling weeds to let the grass (your site) grow.
These are random thoughts, but, to me, SEO as a whole burns me out quite frequently and I feel the need to always reinvent the wheel. But what happens if I just focus on the car I have and make it better?
End of outward expression of an inner thought bubble...

Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.
What's your excuse?
