			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The time has come&#8230; I NEED to teach my mother how to blog. I have no problem teaching the theory of blogging or the &#8220;how to&#8221; stuff or even breaking it down to the simplest form so that she can do it herself and be successful. It&#8217;s the &#8220;finding the time&#8221; that is the hardest part. I&#8217;ve actually started recording short snippet videos for her and the last one I recorded was the video version on the article below about the types of blog posts. </p>
<h1>Here are the 5 Types of Blog Posts<br />
<h1>
<p>How you create your blog posts depend on the type of blog you are writing for and what the goal of that blog is.</p>
<p>If you want to keep your blog fresh and interesting, you should post often. Creating different types of blog posts will help to keep your audience interested. It will also keep you from getting bored with your blog.  </p>
<p>It really doesn&#8217;t matter if you are blogging so that you can earn income from selling ads or affiliate products off your blog, selling your own products or services. You should try mixing it up with these 5 types of blog posts. </p>
<p><strong>1. The Review Blog Post.</strong></p>
<p>Review blog posts can help you monetize your blog.  You “review” – take a closer look at – a product.  When you review a product and include an affiliate link, you’ll make a commission off of each sale generated with your affiliate link. Review blog posts should go over some of the major pluses and minuses of the product. Even if you loved the product, you should keep your review balanced by mentioning a few things that could have been improved. Your audience will appreciate your honesty and be more likely to trust your recommendation.</p>
<p><strong>2. The INSIGHTS Blog Post.</strong></p>
<p>Quick tips are great “in between” posts since they are so short. They are normally between 100 and 250 words. If there’s a great bit of information that you want to share with your niche but it doesn’t really warrant a full blog post, you can post a quick tip. The tip should be focused on one key area of the niche. For example, “How to Grease a Muffin Pan” is a perfect quick tip article for a cooking blog.</p>
<p><strong>3. The Tips Blog Post.</strong></p>
<p>Blog readers love lists! If you’ll look at the most popular blogs you’ll see that they make good use out of this type of blog posts. You can make lists fit any niche topic imaginable. They are great ways to convey information online because they can easily be scanned by web readers who like to skim over information. You can create resource lists that will help your readers find information on your niche. You can also create lists of different ways to accomplish a goal in a niche, like “5 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Sales Letter.” The possibilities are endless. </p>
<p><strong>4. The INTERVIEW Blog Post</strong>.</p>
<p>Although these require a bit of preparation, they can be very valuable to your blog. You can interview someone in your niche and share the results of the interview with your blog readers. This will not only help provide valuable content for your blog, but you can also get more traffic to your blog. Likely, the person who you are interviewing will publicize the event on their blog and around the ‘net which will bring more traffic back to you.</p>
<p><strong>5. The Tutorial Blog Post.</strong></p>
<p>Like quick tips, how to posts help you provide valuable information to your readers. However, unlike quick tips, these posts go into detail on a certain topic. Some how to posts are even separated out into two or three part courses. For ideas on what to create how to posts about, look at the most frequently asked questions in your niche and develop posts around those topics.</p>
<p>There you have it, 5 simple ways to juice up your blog writing and give your readers some variety!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The rise of blogging on the internet has been growing fast because it is an easy way to fast traffic, update content and build relationships.</p>
<p>However, while there are millions of people jumping on the blogging wagon, I find that only a small percentage find the real value and understand the actual methods that blogging can be used for.</p>
<p>The first question you should ask before starting your blog or spending more time on your blog is &#8220;What is the Goal of My Blog?&#8221;. Is it to connect with your customers and keep them updated on new products, press &amp; media updates? Is your main objective of your blog to build your list or drive traffic to your offer pages? What about building authority? Is your blog to help position you as an expert?</p>
<p>The other blog strategy is to make a living blogging, there are professional bloggers that make a very nice living with their blogs like <a href="http://www.problogger.net/make-money-blogging/">Problogger</a>, <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com">Entrepreneurs Journey</a> and they earn a great deal on advertising, affiliate sales and their list.</p>
<p>I personally believe they are successful bloggers since<br />
they are authentic- they are real. They share themselves and let you connect while providing good, solid information.</p>
<p>However, you have to make the decision if you are interested in being a blogger or using blogging as a tool. Take into consideration your time and energy, each blog post is crafted with skill and time and requires you to be consistent.</p>
<p>Now, take the time to put your blogging to work for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a firm believer that now is the perfect time, even with the economy being in &#8220;jeopardy&#8221;, to take control and start your business so you can control your future&#8230;after all there are so many things you can do to build a lifestyle business the possibilities today with the internet are endless.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, you may not want to start your own business!</p>
<p>Maybe you just need to supplement your income, without the nuts and bolts and any extra stress, in other words, you want a JOB but with the time and flex schedule you can control.</p>
<p>I have been seeing a huge split in the online business world. </p>
<p>I see those that are 100% committed to being their own boss and they are outsourcing more and more so they can achieve financial freedom faster.</p>
<p>I also see the individuals that are earning excellent income by providing those services from article writing, to social bookmarking, to blogging and even managing the social networking profiles of others.</p>
<p>Two of my favorite sources for you to check out, if you are looking to find quality people to outsource work to or you just want to find a few freelance opportunities.</p>
<p>The first program gives the best description for those that are looking for freelance work:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<!--Begin--></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px;">You have marketable skills. You have experience. You have a willingness to do a great job. And you do a great job&#8230; when you have one. The bottom line is &#8230; clients can be tough to find.<strong> </strong>You simply don&#8217;t have the resources or the time to market yourself successfully. Let HireMyMom.com be your personal MARKETING MACHINE! Sign up today for your free trial. Go to: <a href="http://www.HireMyMom.com">www.HireMyMom.com</a>. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.1automationwiz.com/app/?Imp=2788087" width="0" border="0" height="0"><br />
<!--End--></p></blockquote>
<p>
The second resource is for those business owners that need to learn more about how to leverage outsourcing to INCREASE their productivity and bottom line.. yes, that is correct- you pay others to help you make more money!<br />
<a href="http://tubbybundl.nocost.hop.clickbank.net"><img src="http://www.outsourceweekly.com/images/468x60-moredone.gif" width="468" height="60"></a> </p>
<p>Again, both of these services offer valuable resources and training and I don&#8217;t have any doubt that outsourcing makes money for both the business owner and the provider. </p>
<p>What would an extra couple hundred dollars a week do for you? I&#8217;ve even talked to someone that earned over $1000.00 in their first week with one of the above services after registering as a provider.</p>
<p>I think this is a great option for so many people but they just don&#8217;t know about it, so go ahead and spread the word!</p>
<p>I even included the Press Release here for more information on learning how to outsource more effectively.</p>
<p>NEWS RELEASE</p>
<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
Contact: Nicole Dean</p>
<p>Tough Economy Offering Small Businesses More Access to Top Talent </p>
<p>FL, October 7, 2008 – Big companies that are closing or merging due to today’s troubling economy are letting go some of the most talented professionals from accountants to marketing specialists.  Many of these individuals are taking an entrepreneurial turn offering their services as independent contractors. This is big news for small business owners who now have access to an increasing pool of expertise available on an as needed basis.  To help small businesses make the best use of outside specialists, business consultant Nicole Dean recently launched <a href="http://tubbybundl.nocost.hop.clickbank.net">OutsourceWeekly.com</a> with internet marketing leader, Jimmy D. Brown.</p>
<p>“Through my work I end up providing advice to a lot of women and men who are managing their own online businesses. What I see most often are talented people risking their business’ success because they are trying to do it all. They don’t realize that there is a way to outsource work and keep the flexibility and control they want, without breaking the bank,” explains Nicole Dean.</p>
<p><a href="http://tubbybundl.nocost.hop.clickbank.net">OutsourceWeekly.com</a> is a 52-week training program that teaches business owners how to outsource many tasks within their business so they can focus on opportunities for revenue growth and sustainability.  This program also offers participants access to a growing list of nationally recognized service providers in various fields.</p>
<p>“With this service, small business owners don&#8217;t have to be human resource experts to get the right people to do the right tasks. They also don’t have to worry about the technical aspects of arranging a work agreement with an outside provider.  With <a href="http://tubbybundl.nocost.hop.clickbank.net">OutsourceWeekly.com</a> all of those details are clearly explained through written materials and examples that are provided to subscribers,” adds Dean.</p>
<p>Florida resident, Nicole Dean has been helping women work from home since 2004 and is a recognized expert in Online Business and Affiliate Management. If you’d like to learn more about Nicole’s vision and success with <a href="http://tubbybundl.nocost.hop.clickbank.net">OutsourceWeekly.com</a></p>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong style="font-weight: 400"><br />
<a href="http://www.wordpresscodebreaker.com/?thankyou-page=181" target="_blank"><br />
<img src="http://www.wordpresscodebreaker.com/images/banners/468x60-1.gif" border="0" alt="Click here to get WordPressCodeBreaker" width="468" height="60" align="center" /></a></strong></p>
<p>I just got done reviewing <a title="Wordpress Codebreaker" href="http://www.wordpresscodebreaker.com/?thankyou-page=181" target="_blank">Charles Kirkland WordPress Codebreaker</a>, a new product that just hit the market so I thought while the thoughts are fresh and my notes are not shuffled to the bottom of my to do list, I would post my initial reactions here.</p>
<p>I apologize that this is not going to be a full &#8220;formal&#8221; review but I think I have a couple important thoughts that I wanted to capture.</p>
<p>First, I&#8217;ll point out that this product is all video based and perfect for the beginner wanna be blogger- I mean really perfect, and the price? For under $40.00 someone will be given the step by step blueprint to how to set up a blog, one video at a time&#8230; you can&#8217;t pay a virtual assistant that cheap to do it for you.</p>
<p>Like I said, I&#8217;ll go into more depth later on but here are what I consider a couple of my biggest take aways after watching all the videos:</p>
<ul>
<li>This really is soup to nuts on how to set up a blog start to finish</li>
<li>The videos are all screen captures so you don&#8217;t miss anything</li>
<li>The common steps that are taken for granted like how to ftp, how to set up feedburner, how to do SEO on your blog, even how to find content and actually make your blog posts!</li>
<li>How to upgrade your WordPress from one version to another in a series of about 8 videos. Very helpful especially since I &#8220;heard&#8221; that the WP automatic upgrade plugin will not work on future versions of WordPress&#8230;.(I have not investigated the truth of that)</li>
<li>ADSENSE! These videos go into the best Adsense tips to get the most out of your blog if you are using that as your $$ strategy.</li>
<li>How to make more money with your blogroll- brilliant strategy that I will try out myself!</li>
</ul>
<p>Who would I recommend this product for? Anyone that is new to blogging and wants to learn how to do everything from start to finish from changing themes to installing MyBlogLog. You can check out my thoughts on MyBlogLog in my earlier post here.</p>
<p>This would also be great for anyone that isn&#8217;t a techy geek but is interested in adding an additional revenue stream or just making money flipping blogs, this is a very small investment that would pay for itself.  Blog flipping is a simple business model and you could easily make $100.00 or more in 24 hours with all free tools and not having any additional skills then what is shown in these videos.<br />
So there you have it, my totally off the cuff, first thoughts after watching all the videos in the <a title="Wordpress Codebreaker" href="http://www.wordpresscodebreaker.com/?thankyou-page=181" target="_blank">WordPress Codebreaker</a>. Even after I have set up many, many blogs myself I still learned some golden nuggets in these videos. I highly suggest you check it out!</p>
<p>Still not sure? <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wordpresscodebreaker.com/?thankyou-page=181">Get your FREE WordPress videos now&#8230; Click here!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A quick post update today but I wanted to post this before I forgot because it&#8217;s that important.<a href="http://moms-business-coach.com">Moms Business Coach</a>, you know that I&#8217;m really a stat person- I love checking out what people are clicking, searching, following. I have a plugin that I love to use for tracking links and clicks from my WordPress dashboard.</p>
<p>
Well, I just found the bookmark and thought I would post it here, after all it&#8217;s free, if you can install it and use it, I hope you will.<br />
<br />
<strong>http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gocodes/</strong><br />
<br />
It&#8217;s called GoCodes. The theory is simple- it&#8217;s like Tinyurl or my favorite budurl.com (allows you track all your shortened urls at budurl.com) but gocodes resides right in your WordPress dashboard, you create your links with a few clicks and you can actually insert them easily while you are writing your blog post.<br />
<br />
Here is the key benefit- we all know that once you write a blog post it lives in the virtual world, forever.. yes, this is how people earn residual income&#8230; those links are live and you never know where they will show up.</p>
<p>
So think now about a couple scenarios:<br />
</p>
<ul>
<li>1. You are sending good traffic to that link but the affiliate program isn&#8217;t converting</li>
<li>2. You find the same product or similar product that pays a higher commission</li>
<li>3. The product is no longer available and you want to replace it.</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you are like me, you posted those links everywhere, your blogs, websites, social networks, article directories, squidoo&#8230;you get the point.. you now need to go back and trace all those links if you can and replace them one by one.</p>
<p>
Here is the BIG benefit- if you use the GoCodes plugin you create the shortened URL then you can replace it anytime with a new destination URL.<br />
<br />
For example, just a few week ago, I was telling everyone to come join me at Perry&#8217;s new Video Intensive Course and I created the url to use to promote it</p>
<p>
<strong>http://moms-business-coach.com/recommends/askmrvideo</strong><br />
<br />
Well, that class is now over, but I still highly recommend people look at all the other video resources Perry offers so I just went into my dashboard, removed the URL of his Video Intensive sales page and replaced it with his home page that offers both his membership option and a ton of free video articles.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Boom, one change and I&#8217;m done- I don&#8217;t need to go track and change 35 links around the web, it&#8217;s done automatically!</p>
<p>
Remember, it also tracks the clicks! You can see where people are clicking what links and for what tools, resources or products get the most interest!</p>
<p>
So there you have it, one quick and easy change you can add to your blog for free to get more for your efforts!<br />

<p>I&#8217;m embarrassed to start this post like this, but I&#8217;m going to tell you my first &#8220;failure&#8221; online..<em><strong> I bought <a href="http://buildit.sitesell.com/kristen1.html.html">Site Build It</a></strong></em><strong></strong>. I started all hot and heavy, printed out the all the information, read the action guides every night instead of my bookclub books, tinkered with all the tools then it just fizzled out and I went on to the next thing. I let it shrival into the virtual black hole before I ever let it start to glow.</p>
<p>Like I said above, I was new to the world of online marketing and business, I didn&#8217;t know fully what to expect or what it takes to make an online business. Then suddenly I went from excitement of the idea of making money while I sleep to cringing at the fact that I am&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>A Site Build It Drop Out!</strong><span id="more-717"></span></p>
<p>Fast forward, a year and half later and after intently studying everything I can get my hands on, I highly regret not realizing the power of this one stop solution when I had it! That is my honest statement- I regret being a Site Build It Drop Out! </p>
<p>When I am browsing the internet, wading through the search engine results or visiting forums, I can pick out a SBI owner with one glance, I don&#8217;t even need to click into their website for <a href="http://proof.sitesell.com/kristen1.html.html">proof </a>they are using SBI.  It&#8217;s because they, unlike me, just followed the steps, instructions, training that is provided and didn&#8217;t get distracted or lose focus like I did. Ken Evoy, founder of SBI, gives you the perfect recipe of education, tools, forum support and so much more that anyone can use this all in one solution for their first website or their 40th. Just like baking the perfect pie, you must follow a recipe from start to finish, SBI gives you the recipe for a high ranking, profitable, online business if you just follow their recipe. </p>
<p>On a side note: I have to say that I have also been very impressed with how active and helpful Ken is with all his SBI owners. You can also check him out on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/KenEvoy and see for yourself he&#8217;s authentic to his business.</p>
<p><strong>Site Build It Action Guide; Principles For Any Website Owner</strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t believe me when I say they have a recipe for you check out their <a href="http://action-guide.sitesell.com/kristen1.html.html">Site Build It Action Guide</a>- you don&#8217;t have to be a SBI owner to put this information to use on your own website.</p>
<p><strong>Site Build It Tools</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m being totally honest here, buying Site Build It today will cost you just under $300.00 so why would I suggest you invest that much money on one website? Yes, you can go with some of the cheap monthly web hosts, but then you will need to add on all your tools and programs. Site Build It contains everything you need from simple point and click web creation, to blogs, video, keyword tools, content tools and they are all in one place, supported by one company and paid for once. Just look at the long list of <a href="http://tools.sitesell.com/kristen1.html.html">Site Build It Tools</a> that you will have at your finger tips!</p>
<p><strong>Why I Failed With Site Build It</strong></p>
<p>I thought about why I didn&#8217;t have any success with Site Build It because anyone that knows me, knows that I will not promote any product that I don&#8217;t think is worth it- and this is a serious investment of both time and money, it&#8217;s not a $5.00 report that you read once and put it away.</p>
<p>So, when I go back in and look at it now with more experienced eyes I realize I had all the tools I needed for success at my fingertips the problem was me. I have to take full responsibility for my lack of action. However with that said, here are a few more mistakes I made:</p>
<p>1. <strong>I bought SBI before I had a clear goal and understanding of what my topic would be</strong>. You must have your market/niche clearly defined or else you will get lost in the journey and do what I did and wade from one topic to another. </p>
<p>2.<strong> I continued to try to look at other methods of making money online</strong> and I should have only focused on the information and plan that was right in front of me- it&#8217;s all there.</p>
<p>3. <strong>I didn&#8217;t leverage the forums </strong>and knowledge of those that have successful SBI sites. Only recently have I come to realize how &#8220;Modeling&#8221; is imperative for online businesses.</p>
<p><strong>What Learned From Site Build It</strong></p>
<p>I learned one of the most important online marketing lessons that I still always refer to:</p>
<p><a href="http://ctpm.sitesell.com/kristen1.html.html"><strong>Content + Traffic + Presell + Monetize</strong></a></p>
<p>I highly suggest you check out that link with the full explanation because it is the best foundation I have found for understanding how to make money online.</p>
<p>So, there you have my review and honest feedback on why I like Site Build It and if you are looking for a new online business, adding to your online business or just looking for a way to earn a little part time cash on autopilot- save your time and money and start HERE.</p>
<p>If you are still unsure about this all in one system check out the <a href="http://demo.sitesell.com/kristen1.html.html/">Site Build It Demo</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Keys to Site Build It Success</strong></p>
<p>Here is my last thoughts on your success with Site Build It&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Have an &#8220;idea&#8221; of what markets/niches you enjoy and use the forum to help refine your ideas if needed</li>
<li>Enjoy the topic- it&#8217;s much easier to write on the topics that come easily</li>
<li>Print out the Action Guides and follow them. Period</li>
<li>Set a schedule- hold yourself accountable for new content and don&#8217;t slack</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t think this a get rich quick process- this takes your time/dedication</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t think your not technical enough because that&#8217;s just a cop out</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, again, <strong><a href="http://freetrial.sitesell.com/kristen1.html.html">check out all the FREEBIES HERE </a></strong>and realize if you have step by step PROVEN recipes here for free, think what&#8217;s on the other side&#8230;your SUCCESS!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this in my mailbox this morning- I love getting emails from people that find my information helpful. Thank you Tina, I hope everyone will visit your site and watch the video!</p>
<p>Kristen-</p>
<p>I have to tell you that finding your <a href="http://moms-business-coach.com/trafficandsales.html"> Beginners Guide To Traffic Tactics </a>was incredibly perfect timing for me. As you know, I planned on you being my first Friend Friend as I relaunched the new look of my mommy site and its 3 sister sites. I got the video done, blog post set then I found this post.</p>
<p>Gotta tell you, you did an awesome job on your <strong>Beginners Guide To Traffic Tactics</strong>! I had touch on it in the video I had made but now that I have read it I wanted to change things up and focus on it!</p>
<p>The detail and effort you put into this project was great. The content was super and very easy to read. The screen shots were perfect especially for someone like me who is visual and I learn best when I can see what it is suppose to look like right in front of me (OK, maybe I&#8217;m not the brightest bulb on the tree!).</p>
<p>I feel that this guide is a perfect start for a newbie and an excellent companion guide for someone a little bit more advanced. Personally, I found great value in all the content but the copy tips and Resource links at the end were well worth the cost of the guide stand alone.</p>
<p>Both your site and this guide all most impressive! Kudos to you! Will tweet the links to you later today&#8230;hopefully!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been so many things going on this week that I feel bad for lacking off on blog postings. I wrote a few new bonus lessons for <a title="Online Business Training" href="http://www.moms-business-coach.com/membership.html" target="_blank">MBC Online Training</a>, I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to meet with some great people this week, I recorded a couple more interviews on topics of RSS and Social Bookmarking, I&#8217;ve had my manufacturing meetings for my baby towel with samples returned from India; In a nutshell, I feel like I&#8217;m soaring to new heights every day and I&#8217;m so excited and love the work that I do that I can&#8217;t sleep at night thinking about what I can show you next.</p>
<p>Of course, the problem has been I only have some many hours in the day so this week I&#8217;ve also made some monumental business decisions that I will share with you soon.</p>
<p>Well, wait until you see what is coming down the pipeline!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done as I said and put a few of the tactics from my <a title="Website Traffic and Sales" href="http://moms-business-coach.com/trafficandsales.html" target="_blank">Website Traffic and Sales</a> Ebook into action and I&#8217;m going to put them into place in the next couple days, this is one of the only good reasons my blogging has gone down so my website traffic numbers have too. This means I&#8217;ll be in a better position to see what sort of results I will get from the specific actions.</p>
<p>This blog post is off-the-cuff, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on, heads up posting. But I&#8217;ve decided to make up for the lost week of blogging and now that I have some other tasks completed and out of the way, I&#8217;m going to start my first official &#8220;blog-a-thon&#8221; on Moms Business Coach.</p>
<p>This means I am going to blog everyday at least once, including product reviews, business strategies, hot seats, tips, tricks and secrets- nothing is going to be held back for the next 30 days.  Don&#8217;t miss it, subscribe today to the RSS feed because I&#8217;m going to leak some reallllly meaty (money making) strategies that I have learned recently that will show you how to make more money from what you are doing already!</p>
<p>Woo I&#8217;m so excited I can&#8217;t wait!</p>

<p>&#8220;..part of SEO is to attract the spiders.  I know that making changes on your site attracts them to come back and check out the changes.  To what extent do changes need to be made?  In other words, does that mean that full paragraphs of text need to be changed frequently on each page of your site, or is it more behind the scenes, like with titles, keywords, etc?  Common sense is telling me it is the visible text that &#8216;customers&#8217; may see, but I can&#8217;t understand how to continually change all the text on my site.<br />
To sum up&#8230;my question is really how much needs to be continually changed in order to attract the google-bots and other spiders?&#8221;</p>
<h3><strong>Answer:</strong></h3>
<p>As with any SEO question you can get as technical as you want, but I like to keep it short and practical, so in a nutshell;  <em>It&#8217;s more then just changing text it&#8217;s adding </em><strong><em>content</em>. </strong></p>
<p>Go back to your keyword list and pull out your long tail keywords and add a page of information, like an article, for each of your keywords. Just think of how your site will grow if you add one article a week to your site focused on your keyword or topic. That&#8217;s an extra 52 pages that you can have &#8220;floating&#8221; around the internet and showing up in search engines that people can use as a front door to find you.</p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;m not saying <em>never change</em> your base content, you should always keep testing and tracking and tweaking the content on your base pages for conversion purposes.</p>
<p>However, writing an article that is 400-600 words long should only take you 1/2 hour of work and less then that once you get used to the format.</p>
<p>Add linking to your other pages within the article to help the spiders effectively move around all your pages. An easy swipe line for doing is adding a line such as <strong>&#8220;As I stated in my earlier article, <a href="http://moms-business-coach.com/online-business-marketing/seo-tips/" target="_blank">5 Tips for SEO</a>, print out your list of keywords and use those for your content base&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s pause for a moment and look at this tactic:</p>
<ol>
<li>I referenced you to an earlier article I wrote- keeping you on my site longer</li>
<li>I created an anchor text link that spiders will be attracted to with my keyword in it</li>
<li>I created a gateway for spiders to move from one page to another since they will follow the url</li>
<li>I added more value to you as a reader by giving you more information you were looking for, understanding SEO.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Blogging As A Free Marketing Tool</h3>
<p>Installing a WordPress blog (remember that&#8217;s free too) on your host account, attracts spiders to your site because it&#8217;s always giving fresh content. Spiders don&#8217;t see free WordPress.com or Blogger blogs as adding to YOUR site, but to WORDPRESS.com. Even if you have a link to the free blog site from your website, they live on different IP addresses so the most it will do is follow the URL. For more information on free blogs vs self-hosted blogs you can check out, <a title="Host Blog" href="http://moms-business-coach.com/business-startup/host-your-blog/" target="_blank">5 Reasons You Should Host Your Blog</a>.</p>
<p><a title="mc_065" rel="lightbox[pics379]" href="http://moms-business-coach.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/mc_065.gif"><img class="attachment wp-att-380 alignleft" src="http://moms-business-coach.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/mc_065.gif" alt="mc_065" width="48" height="48" /></a>The extra benefit of using a self-hosted blog, is the fact you can schedule your post. This cuts your time by allowing you to spend a few hours with your keyword list, create your articles and load them and have them scheduled to go out on certain days automatically. You can do it once a month and not think about it again.</p>
<p>Back to the nutshell, there is your 2 choices, add an article page to your site every week or install the free <a href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress.org</a> on your host and post every week and use this tool for passive income in addition to fresh content made easy.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in;">Perform a search on Google for &#8220;search engine optimization tips&#8221; and you will end up with thousands, even millions of results.  Frankly, the entire process of Search Engine Optimization can be overwhelming for anyone, and more so for those of us that are always trying to balance webmaster role with every other business role.</p>
<p><span id="more-360"></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in;">Search engine optimization is the process of making sure that your website content and information helps you to achieve high ranking on search engines such that you will get traffic directed to your website through these search engines.  There is a science to it, there are many hard and &#8220;soft&#8221; rules of do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts, and there are plenty of people that will pay thousands of dollars to have another company take care of their SEO for them.</p>
<h3 style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in;">Top 5 SEO Tips</h3>
<p><strong>1. </strong>The very first 	and important step in search engine optimization (SEO) is to know 	all your niche keywords and phrases.   If you want to attract some potential 	customers to your website, you should know the relevant keywords and 	phrases to use. When people are looking for information online, they 	type different keywords and phrases on search engines, and you will 	need to know these keywords and phrases. By having these keywords in 	your website content, your website will show up on search engines 	when people look for information that relates to these keywords. I suggest using the <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordTool" target="_blank">Google keyword tool</a> (free), the <a href="http://www.moms-business-coach.com/free-trial" target="_blank">Free Wordtracker</a> or the paid <a href="http://www.moms-business-coach.com/keyword" target="_blank">Keyword Elite</a>.</p>

<p><strong>2. </strong>Make maximum use of your keywords 	and key phrases. In order to make sure that your website is found by 	search engines, you will need to have your keywords in your web 	content and on your blog. Make sure that your web content is 	keyword-rich. Use your keywords in all the articles that you write. It&#8217;s easy to print out a list of your keywords that you can quickly refer to and use as your content base.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>3. </strong>Build your website such that your 	keywords and phrases are included in the content of your website, 	including the &lt;title&gt; tag of all your web pages.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.19in;"><strong>4. </strong>Expand one way and two way links 	to your website. Link building is one of the most effective ways to 	increase the visibility of your website on search engines. Build one 	way links by submitting articles with your website URL in the 	resources box, and participate in relevant forums and have your URL 	in your signature. Write product reviews and post them at other 	related websites and include your website URL. You can also exchange 	two way links with other web masters for related web sites. The more 	websites you have linking back to your website, the better your web 	site ranking will be on search engines.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.19in;"><strong>5. </strong> Submit your website to website 	directories. This will help to improve your page ranking on search 	engines and will also drive traffic to your website. If you don&#8217;t want to spend the time doing this there are really affordable services that will do it for you. Check out <a title="Directory Submitter" href="http://www.moms-business-coach.com/directorysubmitter" target="_blank">Directory Submitter</a> and they start pricing at $10.00, you can&#8217;t beat that!</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in;">SEO is very important for the success of your website. Follow the steps outlined above and make your website visible on search engines. If your website ranking is high on search engines, it means that you can be easily found and a lot of traffic will be driven to your website.</p>
