New Blog about Blogging

Well after a decade break, I finally decided to get back into blogging. I was excited to see that this blog had received hundreds of thousands of visitors while I was away. It really made me think about all the money and popularity I lost by leaving. I decided to start a blog about blogging. I think I will take the time to begin editing this blog spot blog as well to do much better in search.

What I Have Learned

It is definitely the new age. We are now seeing a massive surge in ai content. I myself have been playing around with the different ais to see what is possible. I have been spending time learning from major players in the SEO and Blogging world. 

It seems that link authority and EEAT have become the deciding factor on whether or not a blog does well in search. Creating written content that is 100% unique and well-researched is more important than ever. The internet is quickly filling up with spam created by these bots.

Rules for Blogging

Spending countless hours on Youtube watching creators in the Blogging space has taught me a few lessons. 

1. A good blog post has several elements. It needs to be broken up rather than text blocks. The post should contain numerous media within to keep it looking fresh. The content needs to have real research with links to authoritative sources.
2. SEO for the most part has stayed the same. I think it has just become a bit more mainstream. Tools for SEO have definitely become more necessary (Surfer SEO, Ahrefs, etc) 
3. The necessary post length has definitely increased over the years. No longer is Google ranking content for pieces that actually meet the query. I have noticed this simply by searching different terms. The content it ranks is massive guides that are somewhat close to the query, but not very targeted toward it. 

Plans Moving Forward

I will be spending a lot of time on my new blog creating new content about blogging. I would like to keep this blog up to date as well so I will probably be rewriting much of the content here. You should also expect some major changes to appearance.

The Importance Of Original Content When Marketing Online

There are so many programs and automated software out on the web that promises amazing articles. They will either write an article for you or take an article you have written and spin it into a unique article which you can submit to all the top article directories again. People are spending hundreds of dollars on these programs not understanding the power of a unique article. If you spend the time doing creating your own articles rather than having a spinner or creator do the work you are guaranteed better results. I understand that there are many people out on the web hoping to make money online without working every day, but article spinning is not the way to go. When you write your own content on a regular basis it will become easier and easier. One problem though is when people begin running out of ideas they don’t realize they need to be learning more about their niche so they have material for new unique articles.

The most common use of article spinning will be for a person’s internet marketing campaign. They will want articles they can submit to article directories. There are some lower class article directories that probably won’t actually read the entire article before publishing them. The problem with these article directories is they will not bring in the amount of publishers you need to succeed. If you tried to submit a spun article to one of the major article directories such as ezinearticles.com they would quickly decline the article. I find that with these top directories not only do they read the article they go as far as checking the links in the resource box making sure the links follow their guidelines. People don’t realize that a software program cannot write nearly as well as a person. Yes they can switch out sentences and words making the article look new, but they cannot make the article contain the same substance as a human written article. You may think that you can use the software to submit your spun articles to lower class article directories, but these directories will not have the same power in the search engines and will not help your article spread.

You may think that you cannot write unique articles consistently. This is a fear for many new webmasters and bloggers, but this is a unrealistic fear. Anyone can learn how to write articles on their niche if they are willing to practice. One important thing to do is read the publishers within your niche. The more you read the better your writing will become. You will learn how to express different ideas from these publishers. Spelling and grammar is another difficulty people struggle with including myself. They way I have overcome this is by using a quality word processor such as Microsoft Word. The great thing about writing for the web is quality writing is not determined by the level of technical writing skill, but rather the voice or personality of the writer.

Well these are all of my little squidoo lenses and they range from every little side project I have ever wanted to create. I have done reviews on books I have read and movies I have watched. The majority are articles which were reformatted into a lens format then published on squidoo so you may recognize some of the work on these lenses. I would like to take note on how I use the lenses to market other lenses and use the RSS feed module to market this blog. Now for the majority of marketing I heavily rely on article directories which you can see at the very beginning of this post, but also the Free Traffic System
