How to write the most powerful post

The first question for someone who wants to start getting serious about writing posts that accomplish your goals is to know your audience. Bloggers make the mistake of strictly targeting other bloggers and wordpress users. That’s cool and fun but google is going to only bless  that posts with a basic listing in the search index and down deep. Every keyword I want I’m on the first page and often number one that is because that is where I want this site to be for that search. Sure my primary goal is to interact and get to know only the coolest bloggers in the world but in order to build power to the site on a whole you have to do somethings that YOU KNOW are successful.

Sometimes I write a post to vent THEY vanish quick, sometimes I write just for Google and they bring me the traffic I want at that moment but they fade quick like my Conan post the other night I knew I was just jumping on the bandwagon.

I wanted to analyze two posts in particular to show you what Google likes and what kind of post will not only rank good but they will stay locked into that search position. Sure it’s cool to see your site number one for a search term because of a post you just wrote but will it stay there ?

As your site evolves you really don’t know what your going to do with it, with all the new apps, plugins, features coming out why not continue to build a powerful site so when your site arrives at it’s destination it will have the JUICE necessary

In my post Topic analysis in terms of Google Page Rank Google wasn’t to impressed LOL  but to me that’s an awesome post only because I got some good feedback and comments. So yes it’s all cool and sounds good to say I don’t care about Google Page Rank and Alexa and all that but let’s be honest if your going to get noticed as someone with skills you will have to learn some tricks

Now here’s an example of what most bloggers are doing, I link to other bloggers in the post and get many comments and all that but google didn’t give a damn about that post @  http://potpolitics.com/2009/09/06/commenting-and-backlinks/

That is exactly why I like to MIX it up all the time, I don’t want google to pit me into some over saturated niche I want Google to look at this site as a constant source of unique content, notice I didn’t say GOOD Sometimes what people consider Good Content is dog shit to me LOL I rather read a post from Extreme John or Kristi mixing it up and google backs up what I’m saying.

Now when you look at this post about San Antonio the only thing I would of changed is to try to include the record temperature for all time. That post will sit nice but over time it will fade.

So I just wanted to share some basic thoughts on looking a post a little differently. I do write for my friends first, when I write I’m speaking to you and then I link to people I like and then I try to think of a title that FITS exactly to what a person is going to search for.

Everyone has their own goals and needs I just like to be honest and say that I think it’s best to mix it up Keep em guessing

Then you will have a clear view of what works and what doesn’t like right now who knows how this post is going to do ? But in the meantime hit that RT button LOL

If you think that the only reason that Google gives you page rank is because of the number of links to that site your not factoring in the TOPIC and the ones google likes and the ones they don’t Also if your blog is still NO do follow because your a GOOF and can’t see that and that it doesn’t HURT you one bit to transfer page rank then HEY keep doing what your doing

Also one of the reasons I check every blog that has left a comment on this blog is because I want your comments link to have some weight and since no one really knows how much weight google actually gives to commenters I at least don’t want your link near any sites I don’t trust or that are shady
So does google like the zemanta plugin I use YES, does it let me add tags with one click YES are tags Under rated YES do I follow the tags NO, are categories important ? Only to the interior and cataloging of the site, just like meta tags are useless
So be honest what “shady” tactics do you use ? I know You don’t OK LOL
