First Listing Out of 35.5 Million Results

Posted by on Dec 8, 2009 in blog, Web & Technology | 2 comments

Get Bonus Partners is a mini site of mine that allows entrepreneurs to post their bonuses (freebies/giveaways) for others to use in their promotions, giveaways, launches, etc. The site is doing really well and is first out of 35.5 million results — even placing above Discover Card.

All done with zero SEO effort.  Who says WordPress isn’t an amazing search engine optimizer? ;)

Does All-in-One SEO Actually Help Blogs? #bdb09

Posted by on Jul 21, 2009 in Internet Marketing, Resources, Web & Technology | 4 comments

In my last Blog Design Bootcamp 2.0 class, the question was asked about how much SEO I do and which plug-ins would I recommend.  Now, I’ve never done a day of SEO in my life aside from just using WordPress tags and categories that make sense and writing on topic.  Seriously.  Never spent a dime.

Interestingly, my websites never seemed to suffer due to it.  Check out www.bsetc.ca on Alexa:

Now, since this blog is already established, I’m not going to try to work any Alexa magic on it with All-in-One SEO. In fact, I’m going to use this very blog you are on right now.  This blog is new — not even three weeks old (I just imported a lot of old posts to it from other blogs in an effort to consolidate my blogging) so here is the Alexa rating screenshot for THIS blog.

So, for the next month, I’m going to implement All-in-One SEO and see where my Alexa rating is in one month. Then, I’ll check it in three months.  Now, to be fair… I’m going to have a lot to do with my own Alexa rating through the use of tags, categories and frequency of posting here.  I know this and will take this into consideration.  I also have Google Analytics so I can see how people are coming to the blog and rule out some of my own traffic generation via social media and the like.

If you use this plug-in, what have your results been like?  Are you measuring or testing traffic?

Quick Tips: 5 Reasons You Need a WordPress Blog

Posted by on May 7, 2009 in Business Tips | 4 comments

Here is our top 5 list for this month. This list will help you see the benefits in setting up a WordPress blog as opposed to a HTML website.

  1. Instant Search Engine Optimization. WordPress is known for being a search engine’s dream. Your website will work for YOU instead of vice versa.
  2. Content Management System. If you want to come across as an expert in your industry, it’s important to have lots of juicy, rich content. WordPress will allow just that.
  3. Do-It-Yourself Updates. If your website is on WordPress, you get instant access to doing updates and changes yourself! Don’t pay high web design fees ever again.
  4. Integration with Interaction. The cool part about a WordPress blog site is that it’s complete interactive. People can comment and leave their opinions about articles on your website. Conversation is always a great relationship builder.
  5. Entreprenurial ADD Works Here! Are you the kind of person who gets bored easily with your website? With WordPress, you can actually just swap templates fairly easily without transferring contnet, etc.
