Blogs and Search Engine Optimization - Blogs and Content
(Page 6 of 6 )
Search engines love sites that are updated regularly with lots of fresh content. That description matches the description of a weblog. The almost daily addition of content, results in blogs being crawled frequently by the various search engine spiders, including the much sought after Googlebot.
Many bloggers often have specific interests that they write about with passion. Their regular entries are rich with keywords. Combining the heavily keyword filled posts with multiple entries, provides a steady diet of spider food, for the web crawling bots. Those same keywords, entered into a search box, propel a number of blogs to the top of the search returns.
Other bloggers write about what interests them at any particular moment. This group of bloggers also benefits in the search engine results. By touching upon a wide range of topics, their blogs are full of all kinds of keywords. Their free flowing use of keywords is reflected in the SERPs, with many strong showings in numerous searches.
While other traditional website owners were lamenting the loss of their top rankings following the recent "Florida" update, bloggers were enjoying better SERPs and PageRanks than ever. The heavily content oriented weblogs were treated very well by the Google search results. Blogs came through the update with flying colors, many proudly displaying high PageRanks and page one rank. The new algorithm favored the blog format of freely linking, and frequently updating content.
Conclusion
Adding a blog to your website, or simply starting a stand alone weblog, will enhance your search engine optimization efforts. Blogs have what the search engines crave. They feature abundant freshly updated content, rich in targeted keywords. The generous linking practices of bloggers, freely available and often natural in technique, lend themselves to healthy PageRanks and strong search engine placements. Bloggers are well known to gladly trade links as well.
