My introduction to search engine optimization started in London
a few years back and, after experimenting with Web Position
Gold, I honed these skills to attain very good results in
promoting clients' websites. Later, I discovered that link
building was a necessary but highly tedious monthly process.
This I still do to an extent, but today I am increasingly drawn
to article writing as the medium for promoting both ourselves
and our clients in the world of Web 2.0.
As a former sub-editor for a number of publications in London,
it is quite a stimulating pastime to research subjects that
interest me. It is also as a valuable means of gaining exposure
for our sites. So this year I will be writing for ourselves and
our clients through submitting relevant articles to high PR
websites; each will then provide us with valuable one-way links.
Also, these articles will appear in the WordPress section of our
website so as to syndicate the information further via our RSS
feed. As an aside, Google's Adsense has been added to WordPress
and I am keenly aware that the use of high-paying keywords could
see some additional rewards for our efforts ― 'search
engine optimization' ranking amongst the top performers.
According to
www.weird-websites.com the top ten keywords are: 1)
213,259 paris hilton 2) 155,497 google 3) 124,016 yahoo 4)
121,086 ebay 5) 96,264 eminem 6) 96,262 britney spears 7) 94,014
mapquest 8) 93,708 tsunami 9) 90,841 girls 10) 90,334 89.com
So, submissions have almost been suspended to the free
directories and our monthly SEO programme is now much more
focused on article writing. They are not intended to only have
SEO value; they are being written to provide readers with
relevant and interesting content that may not be commonly
available elsewhere.
There seem to be a plethora of e-zines out there that accept
articles from writers, but I am concentrating on making
submissions to the following list that have PR rankings of 7
thru 5:
