Am I Writing for Readers or Search Engines?

The question I asked  on Marc’s  Q & A Webinar last week was  “Should I have keywords in my blog post titles? ”

After going through Module 2 videos of the coaching course about setting up a blog I realized that he had not said anything about keyword research or using keywords in blog posts or post titles.

Establish an online presence

All the things I have ever read about blogging say that you should spend some time researching keywords in your niche before setting up a blog and then work them into your blog titles and posts.

I’m Back to Blog Hopping again!

making money onlineI’m back to blog hopping again!  If you haven’t come across the term before it simply means blog commenting. You leave comments on other blogs as a way to get backlinks and traffic to your blog. Alex Jeffreys called it Oil Rig Hopping.

I must admit that although I tried to do it regularly when I first started this blog I have fallen by the wayside recently.

Can I stand the pace?

Well, this is my second blog post this week! My coach Marc Milburn’s say’s to post two or three times a week. There is no way I can manage 3 times a week so twice it will have to be.

When I first started this blog I only ever posted once a week. I simply did not have enough time to keep my Detox blog and my Natural Remedies Blog going and post on this blog more than once a week.

I did sometimes post twice a week but I used other people’s newsletters or articles that they let me have provided I included a link to their site.

I got to wondering how much the frequency of blog posting matters so did a bit of research on it. It seems that there is no easy answer.

My Blog Is Having A Makeover

Making money on the internetWhen I originally started this blog I had always meant to change the design at some stage – sooner rather than later, but I ‘m afraid it’s much later!

My coach at the time said not to deliberate too long over choosing a theme but just get something started. So that is what I did.

I always intended to choose something else and get a more personalized header graphic designed but somehow I just never got around to it. You know how it is. Now, as I go through Marc Milburn’s coaching course, I decided that I really must make the effort to upgrade it, to give it a bit more personality.
