A Very Easy Way to Add New Blog Content… Regularly!

Written on April 14, 2008 – 10:24 am | by Wordpreneur |

I’ve mentioned before that one of the factors Google likes (and I guess most SEs), something that is fully within your control and considerably affects whether you get serious SE play time for your blog or not, is good post frequency. Actually, make that very good frequency. Try for once a day at least (more = much, much better). Anything less and better than ho-hum results is truly an exception.

Considering however that for pro writers blogging is akin to writing on spec, it understandably can be difficult to get motivated to keep pumping out articles regularly, let alone daily, when little or nothing in the way of income (or even attention) is coming in yet.

But who said anything about articles? I said posts. And you betcha they can be short ones.

Like the post immediately preceding this one, which, you’ve probably already figured out now, I put up pretty much to serve as an example… and you wouldn’t have known that if I didn’t tell you since it fits right in with this site’s raison d’etre.

In short: Find good related content elsewhere and link to it in a post bringing it to your readers’ attention. And (cliché alert!) make it yours by writing a bit about the content you’re sending your people to (chat it up, “sell” it, agree or disagree, add points that may not be covered… whatever). SE BONUS: Don’t forget to customize your post’s description and keywords META tags for those SEs that use them for their rankings calcs.

Old hands at blogging know all about this. In fact, defined it, with blog tech long ago built to serve, complement and encourage exactly this kind of linking activity (trackbacks, pingbacks, permalinks, etc.).

Cool huh? There should be little reason to miss any daily posts now. You could be doing this stuff all day… there are some bloggers who are extremely good at making these links their own, that the outbound links are essentially what their blogs are all about. For our purposes (mine, anyway), mix them in with your less-than-adequately-frequent meaty posts to achieve that post-a-day (or better!) goal.

Like this post? Maybe you'd like to buy me a cuppa joe! It'll help keep me awake to write more, of course. Thanks!
