    BlogBooze: Thanks! I think I'm going to run them on Wednesdays for a while.
  • I like your idea I'm doing many experiments with my blog and looking forward to expertise this idea. I also love having fun with the SEO content. looking forward for more posts like this.
  • Further SEO experiments. Will my potty training link here in the comment section of Writer Dad help my page rank? WHO KNOWS! Stay tuned and see...

    Everyone: I cross linked this post with yesterday's. WD has gone from page 9 of SEO content to page 4, quite a rise. Also, on page 1, it says, "blog posts about SEO content," to which Writer Dad is listed. I've never noticed that feature before, but then again, I've never been looking.

    Apparently, compulsively checking your rank makes Google customize your search, so my findings on Potty Training Power were a bit overzealous. It is now on page 2, two spots lower than yesterday. I'm still working it out to see what works best.

    Remember to link to the experiment if you like it. In about an hour, I'm going to sit down to write the first SEO article in the series. I just have to decide on what keywords I want to try for. Competitive, but not impossible.


    Daisy: You trip me out! This is the second time. I think you're my wife when I see the Daisy, then read the words are realize you're not. Crazy. Thanks for loving the idea. I think it's going to be awesome as well.

    Danny: I'm going to have to send you an email when I get a moment. I really want to understand what you're saying, but it just comes out, "blah, blah, blog." : > )

    Hey, don't you owe me an email anyway? Pique my curiosity then leave me in the desert.... jeez.

    Lori: I slay it like a Jabberwocky. It'll be a fradjous day, calloo callay.

    Eric: Creativity's borrowed, my man. It's all yours.

    Mare: I think it's going to be fun.

    Jamie: Totally! Come on!! Hop aboard!!!

    Maya: I'm definitely happy with the second page in five days, but page 2 may as well be page 200. Page 1, here I come!
  • And it is amazing how "potty training help" has you listed on page 2 now (just this minute) - you are doing well :)

  • I love to see things happen in time - it is the best way I learn - which is why I think this series is a great idea. And yes, I have to learn a LOT about SEO content - perhaps not for my primary blog - but just to be out here - in this virtual space.

    Am looking forward to it !

  • Hi Sean: SEO is the best way to drive targeted traffic to a site (traffic that is specifically looking for what you're offering). I'm in the process of SEOing (new word :-) ) my blog, so I look forward to this experiment.

  • Awesome idea, Sean! I'm looking forward to seeing the results and can't wait to steal...I mean try the idea out on "Motivate Thyself". :-) Eric

    (Inner voice says, "Run away! Run away!")

    Will the WD wizard tame the beast?

  • Damn I said that wrong, I hate you for not having the edit thing.

    Rewind: Your H2's are bigger than your H1's.
  • Well the initial problem is that your H1's are bigger than your H2's, and that's just wrong.

    Dude, you're on thesis, get on your custom CSS, reduce text-size and reduce padding if that's causing a problem. Before I start kickin' ass!
  • Wow Writer Dad,

    What can I say? Absolutely nothing. I simply bow down to you, Writer Dad and I'm looking forward to seeing how your experiment works as well as being entertained by your posts. This will be good. I can feel it! :)

    Everyone: Obviously the keywords for this point were "SEO Content." When I wrote the post, I ranked nowhere (obviously). Two hours after the post I was on page 16 for the search term SEO Content. As of this comment, it's on page 9.

    Davina: Thanks. I'm finding this impossible to believe, and so far I can't get it to repeat for anyone on the East Coast, but PTP was on Page one at the top this morning. Just WOW. It would be really cool to crack this nut.

    Vincent: Me too, I think it will be fun.

    Bamboo: I agree. I think Eric and I might bust it out at the Blueprint as well.

    Barbara: It's all about having fun with it. Otherwise, it will feel like a prison of pens.

    Danny: No. All I heard was, blah, blah, blog. I'm a dork about such things.

    Jim: It took me a LONG time to get here, but I totally get it now. Instead of thinking of SEO as some kind of restriction, I'm looking at it as an opportunity to have fun and learn something new. Cool beans I think.

    Vered: You do a fantastic job with your SEO articles. I liked your Cosmo one this morning. Great job.
  • I am looking forward to your SEO experiments. I've had a change of heart too. SEO works and it doesn't have to come instead of high quality content.

  • Good idea. Whenever you create your blog title, make it your key phrase. Then, whenever you have the lovely CommentLuv widget below (thanks) you will get links back to your blog with the anchor text as you key phrase. This is gold.

    I wonder how many people will be surprised at my blog when they are looking for a place to hunt in Canada? I get some weird searches to my blog, I guess that is my fault.

  • Hey Sean,

    You do know h2 tags can be styled in CSS like every other tag? They definitely are ugly as standard.
  • Hi Writer Dad - SEO can change how we write so drastically, it makes it difficult to use it. It will be fun to follow your experiment. I'm guessing you'll get real creative with your content.

    I'll be back to check it out.

  • I like this idea. And I can't think of a better way for the reader to learn SEO than by watching you do it specifically.

    I look forward to your SEO posts.

    And good luck with your first niche site.

  • This is great idea. I've recently started to pay attention to SEO so I'll be interested to participate. My new blog is only 3 weeks old though and the PR is low at 2. I'd like to increase it to a 4 -- I know that should help.

    That's amazing Potty Training Power is already on page 2 of Google.
