Getting Good Search Engine Rankings
December 1, 2008 by Gina Badalaty · 2 Comments
My blog, Mom-Blog, has been ranking in the top 5 on Google for the keyword phrase “mom blog” for some months now, possibly longer. It’s also ranking on the first page of Yahoo! for the same keyword phrase. A lot of people have asked me how I got the good ranking, so I thought I’d dispel some myths and give some advice on what I’ve done to get these great SEO rankings. Read more

One of my favorite things in the world of blogging is giveaways. I like hosting them and I like entering them. (Of course, I like it even more when I win them.)
Hosting a giveaway is a great way to bring more traffic to your blog, especially if you submit it to directories such as Mom Giveaways or Prizey. Obviously most readers will enjoy having the opportunity to win something just for leaving a comment on your blog. Its also a good idea to encourage discussion by asking your readers to do more than just leave a comment. For example, if you’re giving away clothing, ask them to visit the sponsor’s site, find their favorite item and include that in their comment. Or ask them to leave a story or suggestion relating to the product, like a cooking tip or one their own kitchen disaster anecdotes for a food related giveaway.
Hosting giveaways are very popular and the added traffic may bring some more opportunities your way. But don’t forget about entering giveaways too. Not only will you be leaving a link to your blog when you enter, you might even win the giveaway and gain even more exposure. I had been blogging for a while before I started my VA business and I subscribed to several other blogs. Read more
