Re: How to import your contacts into Google+

social bookmarking — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:57:46 -0000

Hi Erika,

Yahoo is not very good at keeping their site up-to-date. Fortunately, there is now a site that will let you import your contacts directly from Facebook into Google+ and/or gmail. You can find it here: http://friendstogmail.com
I hope that that will make it easier for you.

Re: Unlimited traffic from one way backlinks after Panda

Ranking for 1 keyword is not going to do it. That is the bad news. The good news is that you don't need to be focusing on SEO so much. Focus on writing good content. If you add value you will get noticed and the rankings will come. What I would recommend is that you send out a tweet when you post new content and also that you communicate new content through Facebook. These activities are very easy to do and create backlinks every time. This has always worked and it has gotten even better with all the latest Google updates.
As far as keyword research goes, I do think that the Google keyword tool is a good one to use. Just don't expect that all the traffic that they report will go to your site. You will get the most traffic (upto 80%) if you rank in the #1 spot (not just page 1). And it is very hard to control that 1 spot. That is why you need to diversify. And since it sounds like you are writing content for your site, you should be able to rank well for several long tail keywords. This will gradually increase the traffic to your site.
One other quick tip: if you are writing your posts in WordPress, make sure to change the permalink of each post to the keyword that you want to rank for, rather than the title of the post.

Well put Ryan.

I don't think SEO is dead, but it is not as important as it used to be. As I mention in the post you should still optimize your content and create back links. You are just better off creating them naturally. Or use SeNukeX (that is what I use, because this is a software that builds the links over time for you and is therefor natural in essence).
I do believe that if you put in a lot of SEO work/money to get more traffic to your site that there are easier ways to achieve your goal. I have used social media very effectively to attract traffic to my sites.

Yes, I agree. Google finally seems to be confident enough that they can evaluate websites from a human perspective. But we should not forget that they have been working on this for many many years. They have come closer with every step. We will have to wait and see how close they really are, but I personally am happy that Google is making progress. The more we can rule out the junk the better :)

I do have a Pinterest account, but have not done much with it. It is definitely popular though, because there are close to 100 people following me, without me doing anything besides posting a few pictures. I have not seen any traffic from it so far.

Great post. I love to read social media blogs from less known bloggers. You can find lots of little gems there that you will not hear from the "gurus".

Have you considered using your own redirect to your G+ business page, rather than the URL shortener? It is just as easy and gives your site some more free advertising.

I agree. I would never have guessed that Father's Day would be that high on the holidays list. But then, I only found out in 2010 how to use Twitter meaningful. It finally is not a time drain any longer.

Re: Targeted traffic from StumbleUpon

Thanks Ryan for sharing this with us. I love using StumbleUpon, although I am disappointed with the way the rolled out their new design. It has too many flaws. Hopefully they will correct them soon.

Janet, thanks for stopping by. StumbleUpon is getting more and more attention. And rightfully so, because it is a very easy way to create targeted traffic.

Re: Two-way or one-way backlinks?

social bookmarking — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:58:10 -0000

Hi Edwin,
One-way links are by far the most powerful links you can get. They will impact the search engine rankings the most. That does not mean that two-way links are useless. As I pointed out in the post, two-way links also serve a purpose. So, don't dismiss them. Just use your knowledge to build the authority of your site.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Karin.

Hi Willena, great to hear from you. I completely understand the time commitment issue. One of the reasons I feel I made the right decision in leaving TSA.
I have since found some alternatives that work better for me. They help me build my social media presence which is more important to me at this point. I am sure you will read about it in one of my future posts.

Re: Podcasts, the easiest form of content

Podcasts are much easier than most people think. I love your approach to turn old blog posts into podcasts. Nothing wrong with that at all. You will be able to reach a much wider audience this way...
