Rank on the first page of Google fast – power of blogs
Putting a WordPress blog on your site is one of the best things that you can ever do for your SEO ranking results.
There is a catch though. Unless you USE the blog, it is of course useless! The blog platform is red hot but without content it does nothing for you.
Content placed on the blog is the magic SEO bullet. Not only that – but content POSTED regularly is the trick to creating Google first page ranking magic.
Many of our clients ask us how often they sh0uld post content. This is a bit like asking your mum how often you should eat fruit and veggies! As much as possible is always the answer. Of course adding content to your blog is often a challenge for many companies so outsourcing this can be a great option allowing you to rank on Google faster and faster for more and more keywords.
We say use a WordPress blog specifically because it is SO simple to setup and use as well as maintain along with the fact that out of the box it is 60% SEO optimised. With some specific tweaks it can become 100% optimised very quickly
Because you are wanting to rank on the first page of Google fast with a blog, then WordPress also has some specific built in tools that allow you to achieve this. Some of these tools are part of the WordPress default engine, others have to be configured.
One thing that needs to be configured is the Ping list.
Every time you add a new post you can get WordPress to auto ping numerous servers to tell them you have new content such as PingOMatic. To do this though you have to set WordPress up with the list of servers.
To get some of the servers to Ping then Google on “wordpress server ping list” and you will find many of them. You add this list under Writing | Update Services.
Another MAJOR aspect of making sure you rank on the first page of Google fast with a blog is to ensure you have a sitemap plugin loaded on your blog. We use XML-Sitemap. This plugin not only regenerates the XML sitemap every time you update or add a new post, it also can ping Google, Ask and Yahoo (need an API code from Yahoo for this to work). This is super powerful so that the major search engines, specifically Google, get to know about your new content very fast.
When we add content to our blog we experience very fast indexing results on Google. Often we are indexed on Google within 2 to 3 minutes. To achieve this level of result all you need to do is configure your blog correctly and add regular content, at least weekly.
If you are technically inclined you will be able to set up your blog in a few hours with all the settings you need. All that is left to do is write that regular content.
