After all these videos are figured it was time to write a regular blog post. So I’ll talk a bit about my favorite way to write blog posts and articles. What I like to do is do a bit of keyword research on the subject. I like to use Googles external keyword tool. I like that tool because it’s free and since Google makes money by selling ads you can pretty much bet that it’s pretty accurate. I know I’ve talked about some of this before, but it is really important so, let’s get started. Keyword Research The first thing I’ll do is type my main keyword sentence into the Google external keyword tool. That gives me a wide range of keywords to choose from. What I’m looking for here are some long tail keywords with decent traffic and low competition. Usually I’ll just pick one keyword, but if I do pick more than one, I make sure that they’re related. That’s the first and most important part of the research I do for my post.

Every word I write on my blog has the ability to show up in a search result at the most popular search engines like Google, Yahoo! and Bing…. in just days (maybe even in a few hours). And when a Google customer searches for words that also appear on my blog, I have an excellent chance to have that same visitor swing by my site FREE. While my competitors are paying 50 cents… a dollar… or even up to $50.00 for each lead, getting the same precisely-qualified visitor to my blog at no charge is quite exciting.

Typing Until Your Fingers Bleed At this stage, it’s all about typing until my fingers are hurting. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but at this stage my job is to fill in the blanks. I’m not going to worry about additional research, spelling or grammatical issues at this stage. My main job is to fill up the blank screen that’s staring at me with as much text as possible. Some of it may be gibberish, but most of it will be great stuff that I can use without too much editing.

So here is the cause for your lack of traffic. When you install WordPress or use the one-click install via your web host the chances are that the install will by default set your blog to be private and will in affect block search engines from indexing your site. I am not suer if this is a default setting or just unique to my host, but every site that I have done has had this setting. Thankfully the fix is easy.

Finally, I’ll run my article through a spelling and grammar checker. I like to use White Smoke, but there are other options out there. Another option is to let a friend or a relative proof read the blog post, but I think that’s slightly overkill for a blog post. Publishing Your Masterpiece

This is it! This is where I log in to the admin module of my blog and publish my blog post. I like to use the WP-Auto-Tagger to get as many relevant tags as possible for my post. It’s also important that the category it’s posted in is relevant to the subject of the blog post. Finally, I may do some social bookmarking, create some RSS feeds, ping my blog at ping-o-maticatticMore… and so on. The last steps are mainly to increase the traffic to my blog post though and have no real impact on the actual writing process.
