If you want to keep visitors interested in your content, you have to get them involved. You don’t necessarily have to get them involved by commenting on your posts, or your content, you can of course get them talking about what interests them. You can use Chat plugins for your blog, or forums – you can even separate all these things and have a multi-function blog. However, one seriously good method of keeping visitors coming back, is by allowing them to rate certain topics or conversation points in your posts. There are various tools set up now whereby you can add rating systems into your post (contextually), and further add functionality to your posts.

When you are writing about Google and a cool SEO method, you could simply add in these little tooltip features, where they encourage the visitor to comment on Google, or on SEO.. or anything else in the post. A website called Blippr is getting a lot of attention from the big blogs like Mashable etc. and they are growing rapidly. They will insert small smileys in the content of your post, next to the words you specify. People can then leave their opinion about the topic. When you allow visitors to do something like this, they feel part of the blog, and part of its upkeep. This means they will more thank likely return, and continue adding to the blog’s content in true Web 2.0 style.

You could of course simply allow visitors to rate your posts. Rating System allows you to add a five star review feature at the footer of each post, and this can be beneficial to both you and your visitors. They will see a highly rated topic on your site and want to read it, and furthermore get involved. This will pay dividends in future residual traffic.

It can be very difficult to get your SEO indexed fast, so it is beneficial to have access to websites that will publish your articles etc. and get them indexed fast. This in turn gets the site you are linking to indexed quickly too. One of the best methods, if not the best method, of backlinking and indexing is document storage and document storage.

Google has always seen sites like Scribd for example as being very authoritive, and ranks them as high as possible in a very short time. You can usually hit page one in a matter of minutes, and certainly get ranked in the top 5 pages easily. One way people use this technique is for breaking news items, as they rank extremely high very fast. If you are covering a hot topic in your niche, then the document will rank high up for the keyword, and then you can channel that traffic right at your site. This is also true of reviews on products, and other niche marketing methods.

By using sites like Scribd, DocStoc and many others, you can upload articles that are written in Word documents, Open Office documents and slideshows, and have them uploaded and indexed in a matter of minutes. The great thing about these documents, is that there is no limit to the amount of words you can use in the articles, and no limited to the amount of images & anchor texts. This means you can seriously optimise a block of content, either in slideshow or regular document format, and really get your keywords packed in there.

Once you get the hand of creating many different documents from one initial article, you can then get to the more advanced stages, such as adding meta tags to the document properties, to further enhance your SEO.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) plays a huge part in the life of any online business nowadays. There are many different methods that can be used in order to improve your rankings on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing such as article submission, link wheels and press releases. Press releases are a great way to attract people to your business and give them some understanding of exactly what you do and how you can help them as a person or business. There are also many different ways in which you can do a press release for your company and ensure it achieves optimum results for you and has your website starting to rank quickly. Researching the topic and writing your own press release/releases can be quite difficult to do. There is a lot of work involved and you need to ascertain that you are using the correct techniques etc. to get the job done properly. On the other hand, you can always hire someone to do this for you and pay them a small fee.

You must choose your keywords carefully. You need keywords that people are using to search for your products, but those that have a smaller amount of competition from other businesses. You can get these keywords from most keyword tools or doing manual searches on Google yourself. Once you are settled on the keywords you are wanting to use for your press release, you must begin the writing of it. Insert your keyword to 2% keyword density and upwards for optimum results and ensure that you enter the same keyword into the required fields on the submission forms that you use. The submission of your press release is a relatively easy job once you get the hang of exactly hat it is that you need to do. However, it can be quite time consuming and may be a better option for you to simply write the release yourself and hire someone else to submit it for you. This is a job that can be done for a negligible fee and will help you manage your time much more effectively.
