Comment on SEO Content – More than rankings by Henry Bingaman

Excellent point, Laura. The “links, links, links” type of SEO drives me crazy when there’s nothing there worth linking to.

Thanks for the reminder.

Comment on Content Equals Communication by Kerry

Laura,
Consider GB Shaw’s comment: “The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”

We say we read blogs. But we skim. Once in a while, we read.

And even after reading, many of us don’t engage enough to remember any of the content. I agree with you that fresh is critical.

Content should be edible too. Small enough to fit on a fork. Few people pay attention any longer than that.

Great post Laura. Funny that I’m reading it now because it’s 9 o’clock on a Wednesday night and I’m trying to finish tomorrows post.

I usually have the whole weeks worth of posts done on by Monday but I had a busy weekend and got behind… now my hair’s falling out from the stress of doing it last minute;)

Also, I thought I’d add another tip.
One thing that I do for my blog that saves me some time and helps to interact with my readers is my “Friday Retweet.” Since I’m on Twitter so much already, I collect the best tweets on business and copywriting every week and I post them as my blog for Friday.

It helps people connect with other Twitterers with similar interests and it saves me from having to write a post. Win-win… my favorite kind of game.
