Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimization “SEO” – Part 2

Is Content King?

In a nutshell, It’s my belief that Content is King, but that doesn’t mean that other strategies don’t work or aren’t important in your overall SEO strategy. There are so many facets of Search Engine Optimization “SEO”, that it’s really tough to give conclusive information on what’s most important when it comes to this subject. Unless, you TEST! That’s right, the only way you are going to know what works and what doesn’t is if you test everything you do when it comes to SEO. It is the only sure fire way to cut through all the hype that’s out there and really get to the meat of what works.

I’m going to give you a good example. When I started this blog approximately 2 weeks ago, I purposely didn’t announce it to the world, didn’t create posts anywhere else on the web about it, or even tell friends about it. Why?

Now I will say that I did submit the site to Google, but that’s the only form of advertisement I’ve used to affect getting it listed. I’ve done this kind of testing repeatedly for all my sites, but the rules change with the search engines so it’s important to continually test to see what is and is not working. So what are the results after having the site up for only 2 weeks? Well, I think you’ll be surprised.
