Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Part II

The previous post of Search Engines Optimization (Part 1), I talked about submission to search engines. This post will will about "feeding" the search engines.

How To Feed the Search Engines?
Feed the search engines do not mean that you use FeedBuner, FeedBlitz or other RSS Feed services. Feed here means that you create new contents and original contents everyday. This is because search engines like contents very much and search engines like frequently updated sites. So, please do it as often as possible.

Creating Contents:
Creating contents is a tough thing to do everyday especially when you are out of ideas. Personally, I also face this problem to create new contents everyday. The way I use is to think for a keyword and then use mind mapping.

Mind mapping help a lot to create contents. It is very useful. So, when you are out of ideas, you can use mind mapping too.

Create a lot of contents to your blog with 100 posts for a start. Then, set a higher target to achieve. For example, you can set 500 posts or 1000 posts to achieve. With a lot of posts, it will not be hard to get to the top of the search engines.

SEO can get your site listed but if you can't get your site listed in the first page of the search engines, your site will not get a lot of traffic. The first step to SEO is to submit your site to major search engines.

Submission to major search engines can be done manually or using websites offering submission services to automate it.
