Using SEO to add value to to your Blog Flipping
Note: I haven’t posted for a while and I apologize. I’ve been working on starting an seo consulting service for offline businesses, helping them manage their online presence, basically an online marketing management service.
Anyway, it made me think about why I prefer to hold sites for at least a month or two, you get the chance to have them rank for some related keywords. The concept of SEO should be taken into account if you’re in the blog flipping business. If you have enough income or money to live on, or you have a full time job, and flipping blogs and sites is a part time venture, holding them for a while is a great way of making more money.
The amount of value and subsequently, higher selling prices, by having sites indexed, building some backlinks, 50 -100, its not that hard when you have a couple of months to work with, and ranking for relevant keywords.
How can 2 months of SEO accomplish anything?
Well, first you need a plan to build sites that have many related longtail keywords that have less than 5,000 monthly [exact] searches, at least those are the number I use. While your main keyword can be more competitive and harder to rank for in two months, it is enough time to get on page one of Google’s search results, even number one, for the longer tail less searched keywords.
When you decide to flip this blog or website you’ll immediately be able to add a lot of value by having it already indexed, ranking and getting free organic traffic to the site.
Simple SEO Tips to Rank a new site
1. Find your highest search volume longtail keyword, and try to be an exact domain match, stick with a dot com, net or org. If you must go with a dot info, make sure to register it for 2 years minimum. I’ve heard that Google can actually spider this info from your registrar and if they see a dot info register for less than 2 years, they just assume its for an affiliate site. While Google will of course not admit this, this is what I have found in my experience .
2. On page seo or on site SEO is part of optimization that can be easily and quickly done while designing and creating your blog or site.
A) Rename your “Home Page” to your keyword in your exact match domain, or if you want, your main high competition keyword. The reason for this is because each post or page that has a “home” tab or link on it, will now have a link pointing to that keyword, helping inner posts and pages rank for that keyword as well as telling them what the main site is about.
B) Correct use of H1 tags, meta description, Keyword density, anchor text and good flowing content help blogs and sites rank without haviing any backlinks.
In the next artcle I’ll talk about how use can easilybuild fast natural backlinks to help your site rank even higher, and add more value to your blog flipping business.
