Let’s face it, I just suck at SEO. I can’t write great titles that get picked up by Google and I can’t seem to write keyword laden copy, either.
What has me discovering this fact at this late stage of the game you ask?
Statistics.
Yep, I’ve looked at my site statistics.
They’ve told me a multitude of things and now I’m hooked on watching statistics wherever I go. My host has AWSTATS as one of the site statistics tools available and it’s telling me that my top most keyword phrase is “review” — just that “review”. And the next most searched keyword phrase is — get this — “playboy gallery”
While I REVIEW a lot of things from products to hotels, restaurants and other blogs, I’ve only ever used the words “playboy” and “gallery” in ONE POST and not even as a phrase in that post! I get nothing for “tingle crotch” which should garner me a few hits since it’s also only mentioned in one post, but no, neither of the words nor the phrase has a single percentage point. At least I can revel in the fact that there are a satisfying number of hits on “Planet Hollywood” which I’ve written about extensively even if it’s not the most searched phrase in my repertoire.
I’m reduced to searching the web for articles on writing SEO-worthy titles and tips on how to maximize keywords in my posts. It’s confusing me — I just want to WRITE what comes spewing out of my brain. It’s the creative side of me that writes, not the logical side. The logical side is the one that thinks about SEO and keywords.
So, is this lack of synchronization between my two brain sides going to penalize me in the afterlife of web optimization? Am I doomed to anonymity because I can’t write for a ROBOT or some kind of algorithm?
Possibly.
Ok, Ok, Alright already!
PROBABLY
:p
