Get Found Online, SEO Mechanics, SEO Blog Coach

Truth be told, it really doesn’t matter how long visitors stay on your site, how many page views you get per visitor or how many visitors you get per day.  At the end of the day, what does matter is that you get found online and that you convert your traffic to leads.  

Unless you’ve been living in a cave in the Himalayas for the past several years,  most people realize that blogging on a self-hosted WordPress site is the way to go for search engine placement. That being said, the best WordPress SEO blog design on the planet is not going to get you top placement or traffic that converts to leads.  And the only way you will get results in both placement and conversion is if you know how to SEO blog effectively.   

Great SEO blogging actually starts with the willingness to put aside time in your busy schedule to free up your intellect and tap into your ‘inner creative writer.’ I call it free flowing or brain dumping.  That’s where your head should at be before you even begin to think about keywords/search terms (enough or too many), link percentages, meta tags, heading tags, SEO formatting and everything else pertaining to how to get found online.  

You first must be willing to give yourself the time, space and permission to write freely so that what you are saying is worth people reading.  A blog post with the perfect percentage of keywords, links and tags means absolutely nothing if you haven’t hit a home run with the way you’ve presented your message.

The type of SEO blog coaching I offer is a wee bit different than your average SEO blog coach. My emphasis is more on engaging your reader with great content because you have nothing to offer without it. I then teach you how to add the optimization needed for getting search engine placement â€" always in that order.  

Yes, you might get visitors to your site with left brain Google algorithm knowledge, link percentage statistics and search term perfection, but who really cares if once you get found online, your site visitors are turned off by your perfectly optimized SEO rubbish and leave in a wink of an eye.

When bloggers focus too much on left brain SEO mechanics, they lose the creative flow and backbone of a great post. SEO will only get you so far and if you truly want to be successful in your SEO blogging efforts, find your ‘inner blogging voice’ with the topics you write about and make left brain SEO mechanics secondary.
