Friends

A few days after creating the original “Friends”/social media post, I created a new post that Bucket list whitewater rafting adventure Maineexplained how linking to too many blogs is not beneficial for either party. With over 100 links, I would actual bring your ranking down. I’ve been researching SEO rankings and learned a lot from my readings. It was only after I read the section on linking that I truly understood the process and decided to change the “Friends” page to its current status. I read that social shares such as tweets, likes, and follows are considered a far superior and more lasting way to promote the popularity of content than any other method so if you’ve linked to my blog, I’m now following your blog and I will check back regularly.

A few other things I’ve learned that seem to increase SEO rankings and google rankings include:
1. Adding a Title, Alt title, and description to all of your photos (So google can read them)
2. Linking your blog/website to Twitter and Facebook.
3. “like” and comment, meaningful comments that show the writer you actually read the piece, on other related blogs.
4. Respond to every comment possible.
5. Write regularly and include, well-labeled, images.
6. Claim your site on Alexa.

I am new to blogging. With less than a year under my belt, I’m just figuring out the process. I hope these new tips help in some way and may you continue to grow with success,

  6. Thank you for visiting my blog. I’m writing about my running adventures and hoping to pass on some hard won nuggets of wisdom to new runners. Hopefully any of your readers who have a 5K or a marathon on their bucket list will pop on over and give my blog a read.
    The big item on my bucket list is to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I need to run 7:46 miles to qualify and I have never run a marathon at better than a 9:00 pace. So I have a lot of work to do. But it is my dream.
    Your blog looks great and I think I will be doing a lot of reading here.

  14. Hi Lesley,
    Thanks so much for visiting my blog at http://stellarmusicschool.wordpress.com/
    I’m just trying to encourage children to do their piano practise, but I love what you’re doing with your blog!
    I’ve been lucky enough to make many of my own dreams become a reality – volunteered in a childcare centre in Honduras, taught English in the Galapagos, met my sponsor child in Colombia!
    What you’re doing is wonderful. God bless.
