We've all heard about stuffing. In the old days, someone told me about the opposite approach - the shotgun method. One person said pick a random word and use it on a page or post, so you'll get visitors from the word giraffe, say in this thread. That was in the mid-late 90s when there just weren't many web sites, competition, or link anchor text counting, when something like that might have worked well.
I just wrote a post called Sweet Tea, about a really different kind of blues album, and also spread around some comparisons to BB King, but Mozart and Slick Rick. I'm curious, if other people who've heard the album somehow manage to find my post and enjoy it, if I might get a few organic links, and see whether there's any amount of truth ( or benefit?) in this method.
It seems like good content will get you a small amount of good traffic. The post, from this morning, has one comment so far, and it's an anonymous one unfortunately, but it's a really intelligent one, bringing things I didn't know to my attention. Which is perfect, exactly why I like having a blog. But I decided I should do at least a little bit of SEO to get the ball rolling. See if I can get some momentum, like in politics, and see if the site can maintain its traffic on its own after that. |
