Search Engine Traffic ~Trendy~
Ok, so my last post was basically just a test for methods of bringing in search engine traffic. I read off of some blog, that if you post about things that are being searched for a lot, you’ll get more hits. Which is actually pretty obvious if you think about it for a second.
You can go to site’s like google.com/trends and find one of the top searched terms on google for the day. After you find the top searched term, you do a bit of research about what you’ll be writing about (which takes maybe 10 minutes). Then you whip up a quick post and call it quits for the day. Searching for popular terms can usually bring you to something really easy to write about. After all, its popular for a reason right? Most likely, you’re already going to know about what you’re writing about. Maybe the horrible earthquake in China, with 900 students trapped in the rubble of a school. Or News on Yahoo turning down Microsoft, and Microsoft eventually giving up.
What your writing on will always depend on the niche of your blog though. If own a site/blog that has content on breakfast cereals, you aren’t going to want to suddenly create an article on how Britney Spears Vagina was got on camera when she got out of her car. (sorry for that reference, it was the only thing that came to mind at the moment).
Anyways, My previous post was about American Idol, clearly.. or not clearly. My blog is not about American Idol, so I’m not going to pull in a bunch of traffic from the post, and it was by no means an act of SEO genius. Alas, being the writer of a blog that just blogs about everything, I could care less what kind of genius I was showing when I made that post a few moments ago. But it spurred my mind into creating this maybe-useful guide on trendy posting.
With that tongue twister of a good-read, good as I would classify it. I do say, good night.
Good Night
