Self-Publishing.BlogSpot.Com redux

Way back in 2005 I started blogging on Blogger.com. Given that one of our “best” keywords for our business at Outskirts Press was, and is, “self-publishing” I titled the blog self-publishing.blogspot.com, and even though I haven’t contributed, visited, or interacted with that blog in nearly four and half years, it continues to provide us with business, mainly because it appears on pages 1 and 2 (depending upon the day) for the term “self publishing” on both Bing and Yahoo search engines. For those of us interested in SEO, that’s a “wow” moment; it certainly was for me when I noticed it.

So even though I promised I was going to talk about creating a Facebook landing page “next” – I’m going to delay that topic for a week or so as I duplicate the content on my self-publishing.blogspot.com over to this one. I’m doing that for two reasons.  1) I want to see if duplicating the same content raises THIS blog to such lofty results in Bing and Yahoo for the “self publishing” keyword, and 2) I want to save that content, which I have evidence “works” for SEO purposes, so that when I try to modify that blog a little to leverage such high results for business purposes, I don’t lose the content that is proving to be so effective.

So allow me to apologize in advance if the next week seems… kind of weird (and certainly out of date — I’ll be “reporting” on things that happened way back in 2007.)  Although I doubt I will be able to stop myself from offering some thoughts on some of those topics that now have the benefit (or disadvantage) of four years of perspective applied…

So if you don’t want to be a part of this little SEO experiment with me, I invite you to skip next week and join us again during the week of the 12th, when I most likely will get back to the Facebook Landing page topic…
