Google Likes It When Your Domain Looks Alive

From getting back into posting things back here on InformationReality.com, it looks as if Google really appreciates it if your domain looks alive. The more I post, the more organic traffic finds the site, which must mean that whether or not your site appears in certain searches depends on how relevant google thinks you are.

Which makes sense, becuase it is hard to get your head around how many dead and abandoned sites there are out there that have been forgotten since the start of the internet. Billions of pages i would hazard a guess. All lost in some digital limbo, forgotten by author and reader alike.

Off all the sites on the internet, i wonder what proportion of them actually get read every day. 1%? 0.000001%. Would be an interesting stat to know.

Stupid Evolving Internet Marketing

A good idea for a domain like this is to just pump it full of content, just write and write exclusive content, that is say things in a novel way that haven’t been said before to attract traffic. Make a whole heap of social media profiles where you just spout the same random gibberish, and get it propogated as far as possible via rss across the internet.

Dont worry about

  • building an audience
  • building a list
  • building a personal profile
  • Be the antithesis of all of that, and just get mountains of content out there are as quickly as possible. It would be interesting to see what the time difference / payoff equation came out equaling when you compared this to a more “by the book” internet marketing approach that i normally follow.

    Just create stupid sites, which evolve over time to be content rich domains with heaps of monetisation things all over them. Like every third post should be about an affiliate product, and then the few around it should be about the same subject. All of the posts should take a maximum of five minutes to write, and have around 400 words minimum. Try to seo and keyword write them to some degree if you can.

    What the aim of this is to create a clientless, prdouctless, business less way to create ongoing income via the web that may be done anywhere

To niche or not to niche

Here is a question for anyone who finds this blog in the future, at some time. Is is better to have a blog that is all about a single niche, or just fill a large wordpress installation up with content, and trap the passing traffic with a click or a comment.

Most blogs out there are not digested in one huge chunk, but just as seperate posts. One is read, and then the reader moves on. There is not point in having one consistant whole, if that is less interesting and optimised to find search results.

What you really should have is one domain with the maximum amount of novelty as possible. The largest amount of sticky search terms to attract long tail visitors. Especially if the site is not a personal branding site.

Please internet blog authors, just write what you want to write, not what you think people want to hear.

The semantic goldrush

Well actually the site has got two which is cool. One from Seamus, and the other from some guy who took my quick written CRM article, which was a thinly vieled insult in disguise.

So that proves a couple of things. 1, that the site has been taken out of googles sandbox, and is now being indexed as it should. this is great becuase i can start staking out keyword clusters for this domain now, and write about any new terms that i hear. We are in the middle of a semantic gold rush at the moment, although no one really knows it.

The sites that can stake out the tastiest keywords for the future will become the strongest future online plaers, the domains that will get excellent long tail traffic in the near future. If you think of a new term, write a blog post about it, and you have put your flag down on that idea on the internet, as long as your site is indexed by google.

the comment also proves that 2) some people take these non thought of, quickly written stream of conciousness articles are good enough to leave a comment against.

Auto Social Poster – It is now working

Hey there you go, just checked a couple of social media accounts for this domain and it looks like the previous full article got picked up by a few social bookmarking sevices.

If a few on here get picked up the it should drag some traffic in this way.

I have just signed up for a heap of cost per action services as well which should help in the monetisation of this and other blogs. I have nearly developed a 100% autoblogging service, which has filled a few spare moments over the last couple of weeks.

The thing is if i am not sure that pure rss driven auto blogs will generate much traffic. But that is why they developed testing i suppose.

Also thinking of generating posts via text to speach tools like dragon naturally. Might give that a go soon as i think that if you could just walk around, spill out the contents of your head, then upload and give it the whole social media / SEO treatment then it would be interesting see how that converted to ad clicks etc.
