Want to be found on Google and other Search Engines?

The Magic of Blogging!!

I discovered something quite by accident recently.  Let me tell you the story...

I've owned my own online travel company for 3 years.  (http://www.yourticketbuddy.com/)  Until very recently you could go to Google, type in my actual web address and it wouldn't bring up my website!  It would bring up other possible related topics, but not MY site!!

It was a little frustrating, but I honestly didn't think that much of it because my business is primarily built through word of mouth and database marketing, so I moved on.

The plot doth thicken...  Recently I started 2 blogs, about things I'm personally passionate about. 
Wealth Creation:  www.TheMillioniareGoddess.com
Entertainment:  www.EntertainmentExposed.com

A few months ago, I was visiting a friend and they wanted to check out my travel site.  They went online, opened Google and started to type my URL into the Google search bar.  I told them, "they needed to type my web address directly into their browser bar, and that searching Google wouldn't bring my site up."  Fortunately they clicked search before I could stop them.  Guess what happened??!!  My site came up in 6 different references!!!  On Page ONE of the Google Search!!!  I was ecstatic!  Had I finally cracked the code??!!  On accident??!!

So today's blog is about, well... blogging!  I am not yet the expert in the arena.  So you'll have to do some of your own experimenting with this one.  However, I say it's worth a shot! 

If you have a website, and you'd like it to get more traffic and be searchable in Search Engines, start a blog. 
  • I would recommend blogging about something that you're truly interested in where you can provide value to others.
  • Include the link to your site(s) on you blog page, as well as mentioning your sites in your blog where appropriate.

As I learn more, of course, I'll share!

For now, happy blogging, and I sincerely hope it brings more traffic to YOUR site!!

You can find links to my sites right here on my blog page!! -->>

Check them out!  And may the blogging gods bring more traffic to your sites too!!
