Who Still Cares About Page Rank?

Seriously, that’s my whole blog post. I have nothing more to add about page rank other than I can’t believe so many people are still writing about page rank. I even created a new category called page rank just so I could ask why anyone still cares about page rank.

Blog Content Drives Traffic – Plain And Simple

There are two posts that stand out today and both reinforce our message that content, regular content, is one of the surest ways of gaining a decent rank in organic search results. Blogs and blog content is one of the easiest ways of publishing that content. Hiring a blog writer makes the task even easier. So what are those two posts?

The first one almost screamed the message – The Most Amazing Sentence On The Internet. And it was. What was the sentence?

No other marketing piece can do what adding fresh content to your web site can.

Do you view content as a marketing tool? It is, in fact, almost everything you do to a website or blog has some sort of marketing effect. Adding fresh content, particularly content that users find helpful is very definitely marketing. I repeat my earlier statement – blog content is one of the fastest and easiest ways to add that content. You don’t need any special programming skills; if you can open a word-processor then you can open a blog and create content. If you don’t have the skills or talent to create content, think again. Almost everyone can. Of course, if quality is your benchmark, then by all means hire a professional content creator.

That leads me to the second post that stood out today – Do you need a website content writer? This type of post is starting to appear quite frequently across the net as more and more people realize they have writing skills and can sell their services. As a website or blog owner, the key is to weed out those who are not as skilled as they profess and to find writers who are skilled. This is where a professional blog content service comes into play. They have proven track records and experience in not only providing the content, they can also provide a range of blog services such as comment moderation and blog maintenance.

If you’re running a business, can you afford to not use the services of a professional blog management team.

Becoming A Blog Content Provider To The World

If you are a good writer and you’re looking to make a little extra online, or perhaps or looking to boost your inbound links, becoming a blog content provider could be the answer. Blog content providers, as the name suggests, provide content for blogs – blogs that they don’t own. There are several ways to approach this. If you are approaching this from a business perspective, then you need to ask, How Big Does Your Online Business Need To Be?

I suggest starting of as a small player and letting your reputation help you grow your business. There are several good articles around that can advise you on How To Be A Web Content Provider! Essentially, you can:

Be a ghost writer for other blogs. As a ghost writer, you remain anonymous to the world. The blog content appears as if the blog owner had written it themselves.

Be a guest writer for other blogs. Ghost writers are generally paid while guest writer provide blog content for free, apart from a link at the end of the post. Guest writing is a good way to gain inbound links, traffic, and to develop your reputation.

Be an ebook creator. Perhaps the hardest is to write ebooks. You can often use content that has been compiled from your own website and put it all together as an ebook. Alternatively, you can create fresh content. You will need to learn how to put together an ebook including Ebook Design (PDF). You can then use other blogs to promote your ebook gaining both links and income. Using other blogs to sell your ebook on a commission or affiliate basis has become very popular.

Transcription services. Whilst not proving blog content, becoming a transcriptionist is another area where those good at English can excel. It’s not for everyone, however if you know What Differentiates a Good Home-Based Medical Transcriptionist From a Bad One? and you fit into the mold of a good one, then there is certainly a good living to be made.

If you can write content such as this, Private Schools and Education Itself a Luxury for Some then you should consider a career as an online writer. Being a blog content writer is just one area that you may find lucrative.

Blog Ghostwriting Lets You Get On With Business

Search engine optimization is a slow process, a process that can take months to see results. You can speed that process up by adding a blog to your website. You can speed the process up even further by creating a self hosted blog on a separate server to your website. The one argument we frequently hear is that time is a big issue. It needn’t be. Get someone else to do the ghostwriting and you can get on with building your business.

If you are going to build your business’s online profile then you need to invest in your future. The small cost you pay today to create a blog and have a ghostwriter create the content will pay huge dividends in the future when your main business website starts to rank highly in search results. More importantly, a blog can help you add hundreds of long tail keywords, long tails that individually only provide a small amount of traffic, but collectively account for a large amount – and it is often more targeted.

What makes a website popular? Why does one online entrepreneur make more money than another? What Makes Home-Based Medical Transcription Lucrative? They all have one thing in common. They promote what they do well. For a business, a blog is the start. Add a social bookmarking and social media marketing regime to your regular posting and your blog will rapidly climb the search rankings. I read where one blog wondered “Is Social Search Just Getting Its Diapers?” It probably is – however the future is bright for social search and if you can take advantage of it now, you will be well placed when social search does advance.

If you are wondering where to start when it comes to creating a blog, I suggest you read Why Develop Your Own Blog Platform? first. There are plenty of good blog platforms around so don’t try and reinvent the wheel – go with what works. A post that reinforces everything we have said in the past describes How writing for the web differs from writing for print. There is a big difference between the two.

Blogs are an important tool for any business if they want to build their profile and increase visitor numbers. If you need a ghostwriter to get your blog off the ground and sending traffic to your website, contact a professional blog manager. They can develop your blog while you develop your business.
