Marketing blog challenge – update

 When I first posted about my marketing blog challenge (and that was yesterday) I never thought that I will get comments from guys like David Temple or David Meerman Scott who both have great blogs and who have been doing online business certainly longer then me.

I feel really happy right now because not only that they took time to read my blog but also took more time to post a comment or two. I also shouldn’t forget links from their blogs, thank you guys.

Do I have to take my marketing blog challenge more seriously then I thought I should? To be honest I don’t really know since I’m quite surprised right now about the reactions that sorund this challenge…

If you are wondering if I’m going to buy links to get my rankings better I must tell you that I’m not going to do that because I believe that good things (like my marketing blog challenge) deserve to get links naturally. If I don’t get links naturally I will fail at my challenge, nothing bad really. Well it is bad but I won’t admit it.

Since I’ve noticed that that the word “I” is in 50 places throughout this post I (again with the “I”) will go to bed.

Thanks for your time.

Marketing blog – monthly review

  Instead of doing my usual   marketing blog challenge   weekly update I have decided to review my first month with my marketing blog and analyze what was good and what wasn’t. So here we go. During my first month I had 797 unique visitors, that means 25 unique visitors per day which is kind of frustrating. The number is steady and it doesn’t grow but I’m confident that it will one day. I still haven’t used any ads and I won’t until I get a bigger number of uniques. There were a couple of good things that made January very fun month for me. First of them were the comments from David Temple and David Meerman Scott. They really gave a motivation to continue working on my  marketing blog . Others have gave their contribution with comments and I want to thank all of you guys and gals. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I’ve managed to verify my paypal account with a debit visa card and now I’m very happy because I can finally buy things I always wanted. First of the things that I...

Another marketing blog challenge update

  Today I have checked position www.webinknow.com for the term   marketing blog   and David has moved down the to position number 443. I guess that has something to do with the fact that his post about my marketing blog challenge has moved down in his content. I don’t believe that more than 200 of our competitors have worked on their content and links to move David so many places down in SERPS. So today’s conclusion is that position of the content (maybe it is better to say position of keywords) definitely influences your position for high competitive terms and marketing blog sure falls under this category. Of course my  marketing blog  is nowhere near top 1000 but I’m working on it. I’ve decided to let it get older so that people link to me without me telling them to do so. I only hope that this will be the case in the next 6 months. I’m going to update my “Tools” section today so no more talk. Thank you for your time.

Marketing blog problem

Last few days I have a problem with writing content. I just can’t seem to find any good subjects to write about. Maybe it is the lack of free time that prevents me from writing or maybe I’m just too lazy these days, I’m not sure. If you think about it, writing about one single topic can be really hard. In my case writing only about blog marketing is really hard. I know that I write about marketing in general and search engine marketing, not only blog marketing but these subjects are related so I think about them as one. Optimizing your content for certain keywords (marketing blog in my case) is another thing that keeps you away from writing because you get the feeling that everything you write looks like something you have written before… I hope that I will find something good to write about tomorrow. Thank you for your time. p.s. I’m still mad at Google for not being number one for the term marketing blog challenge but at least I got from page three (21-30) to page two and now I’m at ...
