My head spins with trying to understand the SEO of blog ranking and Google standings and all that. I guess maybe it boils down to what you, as author, want your blog to do: is it a business landing site? is a community coffee house? is it your online journal that you don’t mind anyone else reading? is it a way for you to participate in the global conversation? I think it matters what you hope to accomplish as to whether it is necessary to learn all the SEO secrets. I’m struggling with understanding because this part of the ‘net is not intuitive to me.

Sandra,
I don’t know if you already utilize guest blogging, but that could be one resource. Also, you could maybe try to find people to manage blogs for you. Or even sell them if they are valuable enough.

This is going to be very hard for me because I have so many blogs. I have been trying to keep up with them but, I think I will have to keep my more important ones and weed out the rest. There is no way I can keep coming up with new content on everyone of them.

That’s a great point Tia. A lot of people on the internet do not think to comment on sites, they simply get their desired information and leave.

Thanks for the link Ryan. I’ve been putting off learning about goals and conversions for too long. It was encouraging to hear that high bounce rates are almost expected with blogs. My bounce rate is improving but your comment makes me feel better about it.

I think it’s not so much not having a blog, per se. It’s just that some blogs don’t inspire a lot of conversation. I can’t tell you how many WordPress development blogs I visit and use the info and don’t comment (I’m wincing as I say that). People who publish how-to’s often benefit from the inbound links people give them but not from a lot of commenting.

Thanks for that link! Very cool. Will have to check it out. I’ve been ignoring the conversion stuff, too. Where analytics are concerned, I’m primarily concerned on this blog in particular, I’m focused on two things: incoming links and outgoing links.
