My SEO Sucks
Posted by WilliamJun 18
When I started this blog it was purely a personal thing, a place I could put my thoughts and rants in writing however its grown a little from then. I enjoy writing in it and from writing alone I am able to learn a whole heap which is great. I’ve also steadily moved towards an Internet Marketing / Internet Entrepreneur theme as opposed to the much broader approach I have previously. This wasn’t something I intended but rather a natural progression.
There is a problem however. My SEO sucks. Seriously, your probably here because you searched “how to suck an egg” or something random like that and are wondering what the hell have you stumbled upon. If so, my apologies, feel free to move on.. here is a site .
So over the next few weeks I’ll be working on fixing my SEO a bit. I had never bothered about it before because I wasn’t particularly concerned about whether the search engines picked up my blog as it was something I did purely out of interest and even to this day I don’t run any advertisements so my intention to profit from it is still minimal.
But after a fair bit of interest and the soon to be launch of my new product, I figured I better sort out my SEO and start generating some really targeted traffic.
Three things I will be focusing on include my Title Tags, my H1 headings, bolded text (been doing this randomly but without much substance) and keyword density. I can’t really do much with my url’s as I have a fair few incoming links and don’t want them to be broken so I guess that’s something I will pay attention to from now on. Also my in-coming links will be phrased rather than under my url, www.williambakhos.com.
Now don’t think this is something your really going to notice as I still write for the people who are interested in reading this blog, but my aim is to drive more like minded people to join this community and benefit from the information provided.








Hi William,
You’ve written an interesting post about SEO. It’s good that you know how and where to start with SEO. Most people don’t have a clue, so I commend you on this.
You’ve got a really nice blog and it stand out. Just a few suggestions, perhaps use the tab for your front page to reduce the size of your posts so people actually click through to leave comments at the end.
Otherwise people will read your post and not leave any feedback.
Hopefully this helps and let me know how your SEO goes.
Thanks for the feedback Tyrone.
That’s a great idea. I think the problem with that is this theme may not support it for some odd reason (very frustrating) but I’ll have it another go and play with the code a bit if I need to.
That’s a good point you mentioned about encouraging comments as people now can simply read my main page without being asked if they would like to comment. I notice you do this on yours as it seems to have been effective for you.
Cheers
Will
Hello William, I just randomly found your site through a comment somewhere.
I see you mention bolded text as part of your seo — I wasn’t aware that this had anything to do with it. Is it just the keywords you’re bolding, and if so, does extraneous bolding have a negative impact?
Another thing you can do is use your keywords in h2 tags within the post, and also deeplink posts within your website. Dunno if you’re doing that already, like I said I just got here. X)
Cheers!
Hey,
Bolded text definitely does help.. puts authority on the bolded keywords and also the long tail keywords. This is most effective in the first few paragraphs.. so not something to do the whole way through the site or post.. just at the beginning after h1 heading.
