Best SEO tool: your blog
So you have a beautiful website, and you have tried many SEO techniques. Most of them do not work and are also costly in the long run. But a tool available for quite some time now could have been overlooked for many years. Indeed, a blog is a sure way to promote your website and draw traffic, hence, customers.
The idea is to teach people about your industry by posting articles on your blog and sharing these articles on other blogs. By doing this, you will create interest toward your articles and links to your website!
Here are a few pointers:
- never use the blog to directly sell something of your website, that is just poor blogging etiquette
- post at least 2 articles per week on your blog and link them to other blogs
- write quality articles that you think people would be interested enough to leave comments
That’s it! Happy blogging!

I’ll have to agree. A blog used in the right manor, can be a great way to get attention on the internet. Where I come from, blogs gets indexed and ranked high on search engines.
If we write about something debatable, or something hyped news, we get a good deal of traffic on our blog.
It’s all about sharing. You don’t get more than you share, as we say.

I know it is a little out of the your point in having a blog, but since you mention blog an SEO in the same article I’ve got a question.
What are your opinion on tagclouds? I cant figure out if I should hate them or bless them. On one side, the doy provide your keywords to the page, but on the other side, the tagcloud may not have anything to do with the specific article, and is just a waste of text?
As I say about many sites I start doing SEO on, the search engines don’t know whether if it’s a “dictionary” or a “book” about something.

if tag clouds are either a useful piece of navigation that will guide a user to valuable destinations OR/AND they are a good looking graphic design feature - you should use them. If you are the publisher of an online magazine with lots of topics you can use tag clouds to have all topics of the specific issue at one place.
If you just use tag clouds to transport your keywords for the purpose of SEO don’t use them. There are better ways to get some more Google juice than annoying your visitors.
