I started reporting some of the keyword phrases that this blog receives in May and suggested I’d repeat monthly. Looks like I missed June for whatever reason – but with a Google calendar task now in action I’ll try and do better from now on. When I mention to people that I blog I do get a few raised eyebrows – what’s the point of doing that? people ask. I give a couple of reasons for blogging:
- I do it mainly because you don’t know where it might lead you. I’ve stumbled upon loads of useful info since I started this blog that I never otherwise would have found.
- You can rank in the search results as a result of blogging. Now search marketing is a pretty well covered topic blogging wise but for other industries/interests that might not be the case – so free, interested, visitors might be up for grabs for your chosen topic
- It helps you to stay in-tune with your chosen topic
- And it only takes your time. Blogger, wordpress, etc all offer a freebie service.
So here’s a sample of this last months upthejunction keyword searches:
- bikes and bras
- richard farleigh
- deborah meaden
- kieron donoghue
- jess luthi bog
- adjug
- betty boo
- marketing consultancy
- affiliate easyjet
- “sell text links”
- marketing blog uk
Not surprisingly, following my recent mention, I received quite a few long tail searches for Betty Boo – though nothing too salacious!
“bikes and bras” conjures up quite an image!
I saw some interview with Richard Farleigh a few weeks ago. He was saying he is gutted to have been left out of the next series of Dragons’ Den. There’s four other Dragons I’ve have got rid of before him.
