Time to learn some SEO
I haven’t really touched any of my sites in the last couple of weeks as i’ve been really busy with other stuff. I really want to try and keep up some momentum and try and get things going so i’m going to make some time this week to work on some things.
So, I have a couple of mashup sites up working nicely, but now obviously I need to start getting traffic to those sites. SEO isn’t something i’ve done much of in the past so I think it’s time for me to dedicate some time to get clued up.
From what I’ve read I guess these will be what i’ll focus on to start with:
- Submitting to search engines - so far i’ve only submitted to Google and set up Google sitemaps (using this sitemap script).
- Submitting to directories - i’m not sure how easy this will be for a mashup site. I guess the content can be valuable to visitors (that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?), so hopefully it won’t be too much of a problem.
- Getting links - this is the main thing I need to learn about I think, where to get good links back to my sites.
There’s probably a ton of other stuff I need to do to really help build traffic, and i’m sure i’ll pick up loads of information as I look into this, and i’ll post anything I think could be useful for anyone else who’s starting out. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
I’ll attempt to get an hour of reading in now while my 2 year old son buries me in toy cars…
