Great post! Constantly updating your blog with unique relevant articles is one of the best ways to get targeted traffic to your site.Search engines will crawl your site more often. Also, start participating in social sites like Mybloglog and spicypage. Tom Lindstrom's last blog post..By: Tom

I guess this is such an obvious subject that we forget and need a refresher. Thanks! I stumbled it, too!

I can certainly attest to the value of an opt-in newsletter. We started one just last month that included updated wine recommendations for our members. We have already seen many registered users return that that have been absent for many, many months.

Hi Dawud – This is brilliant advice. One of my businesses is a local plumbing business and we have a website. We also have a blog. But we’re currently changing our strategy.

Blogging has done wonders for our search engine rankings. The trouble is, because we’ve been blogging a lot about our industry, we’re actually attracting a lot of people who work in the industry, as opposed to potential customers.

We’re now planning to do something which will appeal to local customers. Really, we’re aiming to be a place they want to go to, to share local information and keep our brand in their minds when they’re looking for plumbers, if that makes sense.

Dawud, I just met with a client for over an hour trying to explain these things to him. I spent some time in his site as he wondered about stats and thins that he doesn't need to think about right now. In fact I think I will send him this post. It really very simple, find your passion, write to your passion, the other things will follow. I think we often try to trick it up more than is necessary Making Sales Making Money's last blog post..Uh oh, What Is Don Doing Now?

Dawud- The quality of links cannot be stressed enough. Link quality is the key to search engine relevancy. Nice post. ourmonmouth's last blog post..Browser compatibility

I really enjoyed this post as it tells you if you want to be successful you have to be part of the solution. I spend at least 6 hours a day reading and contributing to other sites and you just verified its the right thing to do. We are building unique visitors so we can begin the monetizing. And I continue to read and post. Thanks for the good information.

My best,

I wish I’d had an article like this a few years ago. I had a client who wanted 100% of his business to come from the search engines to his static site, so people would *call* him on the phone, and didn’t see the need to put his URL on all his materials. But hey, he offered a whole $75 to me to get on google’s front page for his terms.

I’d love to see an article on how to tell clients they are asking the impossible or have a complately wrong idea.

Hello Dawud. Useful post. I'm asking this because I don't know the answer - How is opt-in newsletter content different from blog content? Does subscribing via email have a different effect on search engines than subscribing via feed? If you don't have an opt-in newsletter or a blog, which would you suggest doing first?

Yeah, I can certainly feel #2. Recently I've been bogged down by a bunch of things and wasn't able to update much. Some search terms that can make my page pop right up don't do so anymore. I believe I can be back when I'm consistently updating again. Kelvin Kao's last blog post..Seamus and Magellan - Day 2

GREAT post and relevant for me as getting visitors is something I am working on.

It also makes me think of my art website that needs serious updating.

I think this is a good checklist to have on the desk both for your blog and a website
