Get Your Site Indexed

Someone recently asked me - “Please look at my blog site - does it have a nice design?” I said yes it does, why do you ask?

He was concerned that the only people who come to his site repeatedly are the ones he either gives the link to (in an IM) or after he’s commented on their site. Here is my take on it…

Let’s say I can’t see the site, I would say that design isn’t really an issue with a blog - as long as it is appealing to the eye - people come to read what you’ve written not how it looks - unless you are going to have a template a day!

People say “content is king”, I disagree - you can fill your site with the same stuff other people are writing or you can come up with something unique. So “Great content is king”.

Commenting for comments basically means that you get someone type “nice blog” or “I agree” most of the time. Go find a blog that reflects/mirrors your own - something with maybe the same niche (stuff) as you have - send them an email, tell them you like their site and ask them if they want to trade stories/content/comments.

Do that with a few people in your niche and you get nice content without having to write it all yourself!

Onward and upwards
