are there any blogging rules or laws you can think of that would jeopardize a non-profit organization’s status as tax-exempt?

The same would go for blogging as for any other medium. The only regulation is that 501(c)(3) organizations cannot conduct political activities.

Just looking for somewhere good to recruit a good standard of blog writers….

One of the methods used in Search Engine Marketing is the technique of buying links.

While some frown on this method entirely, or may not need to partake in this action, there are

those of us who do and reap the benefits.

Paid directory links are better for sem purposes (as opposed to text link advertising) – because

good fee-based directories place your link

in the appropriate category of which the site’s main topic is about.

Why does this matter?

For one moment, let’s take a look at how a search engine spider spends its life. It endlessly

crawls the Internet, looking to not only discover new content, but to also find related topics,

fresh information and to also somehow apply all of that knowledge together in order to

algorithimically produce the most relevent result.

So, as the search spider continues to find your site listed in the same category through-out the

web, (for this example we’ll use “Software”) it makes it easier for the spider to categorize your

site. This partially explains why you may see some sites that appear in listings that are not

100% on target.

While there are many reasons to blog, there are two primary uses that are becoming more

widespread with blogging: To game Google Adsense, and to also game the search engines for better

rankings.

Since Blogs are known to the search engines as daily snippets of information that are

updated on a frequent basis, they get a lot of preference in the search results.

Depending on the service you utilize, there are still some basics that you can apply. The two

biggest blogging sites are WordPress and Blogger. If you are looking for an advantage with SEO,

you should use Blogger since they are owned by Google, and you’ll be indexed quicker.

Blogs aren’t all that much different than a site. The power of a blog is from the frequency of

the posting. If the search engines see a

pattern of 3 postings per day, they will be very active on spidering that site. Depending on the

topic of the blog, you may be able to boost your blog in the rankings if it’s related to a hot

topic on the Internet.

Since blogs are typically a few pages long, you only need to establish a few rules that will be

applied sitewide:

* Use an interesting title – Also known as linkbaiting – your title should captivate the user

to read more

* Try to use your blog keywords in the title – while it may be hard to always do this, by

keeping the title related to the topic, your blog will always be relevant

* Use the H1 tags – All blog editors allow for custom templates, so be sure to stylize your

blog title in the H1 tags

* Link to other blogs – Find other related blogs that your readers might find interesting,

and ask for a link in return

* Don’t forget about your archives – You may post a topic that isn’t hot at the moment, but

comes up later – make sure your readers can find that posting

As stated above, the key to a successful blog is frequent postings. You don’t need to write up an

article everytime, two paragraphs and maybe some resource links is what a typical posting should

be comprised of.

When the search spider repeatedly finds a website within the “Software” category on many

directories, and the site in question is about software, it makes the ranking easier to compute

for the search engine when delivering

results from a user query.

Another factor that is added to the computation is the link weight – basically, of all the

links that the search spider found linking to your site, how many of them were any or all of the

following:

* Relevant

* Lead the search spider to a topical page

* Are from a “Trusted” or “Authority” site

All of these are great reasons to pay for fee-based directories that take the time to carefully

review sites that are listed – take advantage of this great opportunity!

When I first started out with my internet home business, I spent lots of money on solo ezine ads, PPC ads, and so-called leads. Results were pretty average and not worth the money spent, so I began to look for ways to earn free money online. The idea is to utilize free methods of marketing your web site, such as blogging, article marketing and SEO (or search engine optimization). This means a greater profit yield and often better traffic rates in the long term. So, let’s look more closely at SEO.

SEO is simply optimizing your site with the effective placement of relevant keywords and undertaking a linking campaign to increase the number of back-links pointing back to your site. This increases your ranking in the search engines, with the aim being to get on page 1 for your keyword phrase. If you can get on page 1 for your keyword, you will have lots of people clicking on your listing and visiting your site. Provided that you maintain this position, you can earn free money online indefinitely.

The first step in your SEO campaign is keyword research. Grab a pen and paper and write down all the keyword phrases you can think of, that visitors might type into a search engine to get information on your niche. Once you have your list, go to your favorite keyword suggestion tool and start entering your phrases into the tool. Each time you enter a phrase, it will give you a heap of other related keyword phrases as possible options.

I always target low-competition phrases that have had about 1000 searches in the past month. I then enter this phrase into the Google search engine, within inverted commas, to see how many other competing sites there are for this term. I try to aim for less than 100,000 results per phrase.

My strategy is to build a web page around each low-competition keyword phrase (and have lots of phrases). That way, if I can get just 20 visitors from the search engines per day for each page, and have at least 50 pages, this is a total of 1000 visitors per day to my site. To me, this is more achievable than targeting a highly-competitive phrase and working my butt off constantly to maintain a high ranking for that phrase. Now, let’s look at on-page and off-page optimization.

On-page optimization is the work that you do on the actual web page itself. What you need to do is place your keyword phrase in your URL (if possible), in the title tag of the page, in the description tag and in the keywords tag, Then, sprinkle your keywords in the body of the text, in the first and last paragraphs, and make sure that you bold, underline or italicize the keyword phrase to give it more emphasis in the search engines. Don’t over-do it though. I aim for about 1 to 2% keyword density on my pages.

Off-page optimization is basically your linking strategy. The more back links you have pointing to your site, generally the higher your ranking with the search engines. Two great ways to increase your links are by submitting your URL to the link directories (preferably with a high PR), and to write and submit articles (with a link pointing back to your site) to quality article directories.

Once you have implemented all the steps of your SEO campaign, you need to keep the momentum going. Keep adding more and more pages to your web site, targeting good keyword phrases, and continue getting more links pointing back to your site. The results and the pay-off are definitely worth it. There’s nothing better than getting highly-targeted, free traffic from the search engines and earning free money online.
