Is Your Blog Invisible?
No matter what your goal in blogging is, being found through people doing searches on Google and other search engines, is very beneficial. If you are not familiar with applying SEO then listen up. You’ve all surfed trying to find things by entering words and partial sentences to find what you’re looking for. Let’s say you want to learn how to alter your blogger template to add some feature, you type in “blogger template featureX” and go from there.
Ask yourself this, “What would someone searching type to find my blog?” Seriously consider this question and think about what it’s asking. With most blogs you need to know someones name to find it. So, if you want to make money and practice sound seo basics, your posts have to be titled so you can associated with whatever it is you do. If you use Wordpress you can use title tags to alter how search engines see your posts. The name of this post is, “Is Your Blog Invisible?” but search engines see it as, “How to be found through searchengines.”
Don’t freakout thinking through the nightmarish reality of how you titled your posts like I did, ha ha ha! These are just some basics of SEO. It’s something to consider when choosing a title for your next post. My blog is an seo trainwreck but hey, I’m just learning all this stuff. Lets take a look at my good friend Janice’s This is a Miracle: It’s a personal blog and she writes a lot about her two sons, Amos and Zac. She also pretty much writes about everything and is extremely good at commenting. I do mean extremely good. I see where her blog could being associated with healthy mothering or raising children. I’m not sure if she has thought about that but I believe it is definetly worth serious consideration. If you read her blog you will see what I mean. Janice, whether you know it or not, I’d say you are an expert in this area. I seriously doubt you could find a person anywhere that would dispute that fact.
My good friend Marzie’s Mariuca: Wishing on a Falling Star has been doing incredibly well and she just keeps it up, endlessly. Marzie is the most successful commenter I have seen on line. It seems that 70 comments on a single post is becoming routine for her. The success of her coffee mug contest garnered 130 comments! She gave every single one of them a charming reply too. I see her blogging future as one singular word, Mariuca. Her name will be what gains her success to make the transformation to mega-blogger. Her name should eventually become a “brand name”. I see Mariuca’s personal line of perfumes as the area where she will hit the big time.
Last, but certainly not least is my wonderful friend Jean from A Great Pleasure. Jean’s area of expertise is in food. I see her blog as a way to get a nice book deal. She could write some kind of sensual recipe and personal stories book. I think she could put together an incredible coffee table book that would be hot item for any living room! These are ideas anyone can relate to and I chose these great ladies because they are all such great examples of easy to understand, fantastic blogging. Also Jean made this for me today and I thought it was great! These three beautiful, married ladies are affectionately known as Bobby’s Angels. Thank’s jean! I just want to make money from the overflow traffic they generate when they make millions ha ha ha! Angels, get your guns ready, this is going to be a dangerous mission

Hey Bobby! Your simple example finally cleared it up for me. I’m talking about the title tags. I’ve never used them, but always knew there must have been something mystical about it that I had to understand first before using.
Now I know.
Mark: Thanks! I just stated reading about them. I just really started wondering about how I would be found on line. I think that’s all you basically need to know about them
I have to confess that as a general rule I am not a fan of posts about blogging. There is so much blogging about blogging out there, and for the most part it’s either pretty technical, snobbish or boring.
But your posts on blog tips are different. I actually enjoy reading them, because you come at it from a different angle. They are practical and also full of warmth. You want to help people get visibility and it shows.
Ingrid: That is so nice! Thank you
LOL! Yes, Bobby! Guns are ready, at your command!
thanks for the mention bobby! you are such a great friend. No matter how many times i’ve mentioned, i will mention it again: I am so glad to have you as my friend!
you’re so right about jan & marzie. They are superb in their commenting! And jan is emerging from nothing to a fantastic & well known blogegr! And marzie have been great and getting better among the blogosphere. I am so proud to be their friends. Great jobs, ladies!
Love & HUGS to all of you!!!

Oh I have to check those blogs you mentioned out and see what they’re doing and I’m not !
Sassy: These 3 and my blog are not seo optimized yet. So my point is to look at what they could become if it is of interest to you. That way you can look at your own blog and think about where it’s headed. It’s a good exercise and can help you to understand the way all this really works
Hi Bobby! It’s great to see u blogging again and with such a wonderful post too. Thanks for featuring your 3 angels here! We love getting this special acknowledgement from our Boss and remember, we learn only from the best! Have a great weekend Bobby!

Janice: Those are mybloglog avatars and they are new!!!
You’re right Bobby, a lot of stuff goes into making one’s site visible in the eyes of these search engines, but surprisingly we have the ability to pave the way but we tend to ignore the bits and pieces along the way. What you’re doing is great, coz it just made us realize, hey, we can make them better if we wanted to! Thanks once again, Bobby
