The Truth About Blogs
Junior Member
Ok - I’m going to share something else that not many people would be so quick to share. SEO consultants or companies… either don’t know about it… or don’t want you know You to know about.
Unless you are trying to establish yourself as some type of industry expert or industry celebrity For the audience you are targeting…
I would discourage you from attempting to make a blog that ranks for anything.
The only blogs I have ever seen on page 1 are celebrity type blogs like Matt Cutts.
People use blogs because they are quick and easy to set up and maintain. But blogs have basically zero chance of taking competitive terms in the search results because of their minor infrastructure
Even a blog that is a part of a major site rarely adds to the site’s value.
The bottom line is blogs are a hype factor that have lasted for a while here. But look at any top 30 results for any search term… and I don’t think you’ll find any blogs
Sorry to be a party spoiler… But that’s better than sending you in the wrong direction
to be quite honest… don’t be overly ambitious on ranking a blog. it’s pretty rare that you see a blog rank on page 1 for competitive keyword terms. actually… I don’t think I’ve ever seen one rank on page 1.
The problem with blogs is that they are not very customizable navigation wise that means future growth is going to be limited. it would be very difficult for a blog to technologically and structurally out run a custom website.
I don’t mean to be all negative about your project… but I believe it will help you to know that blogs are basically a dead-end.
