SEO New Year’s Resolutions

by

What is this? An article on New Year’s resolutions? But we haven’t even made it past Christmas yet you might be saying. The New Year can be full of hope and promise, so why not start planning for it as soon as possible? Besides it will get your mind off all that Christmas shopping still left to do.

Since all of my websites are blogs, my resolutions all revolve around making my blogs better for search engines and for readers. Here is my list of resolutions:

Blog on-topic. I maintain several blogs that all are about a different subject and yet I still manage to stray from the topic.I just cringe when I notice that I have more posts filed under MISC or off topic than that are on topic. I will put my readers first by staying on topic. If they come to my gaming blog, then they will find only game-related articles. It’s so easy for me to get off topic but in 2008 I will try very hard to stay focus.

Comment on comments. I love to receive comments but seldom respond to them. To hopefully encourage more, I will make an effort to respond to each and every comment I receive.

Blog daily. I’ve become quite fond of blogging during the evening hours. I will start dating some of those posts to go live the next day. This way I will have fresh content each day instead of having one day with three posts and then two days with none. It can be very hard to blog each day on every blog. I usually make it to each blog every three days, so if I write a few extra posts when inspired, then I will have fresh content all the time on every blog.

Concentrate on SEO. Maybe not to much on individual posts but as an overall theme for the blog. Some keywords are extremely competitive but are the words people use for searches. So, I will continue to go for long tail keywords but also try to concentrate on a few narrow keywords. An example would be my casual games blog. I will try to work in the words ‘casual game’ more into my articles since this is what my blog is all about.

I will probably add more as the new year gets closer, and I really think about how I can improve my websites.
