  4. Michael, the interesting thing about the way blogs work is that the things that help you rank well should bring you traffic and subscribers first.

    I’d rank your priorities this way (each step naturally leads to the next):

    1. Social Media
    2. Subscribers
    3. Search

  7. Thanks. I’m looking forward to reading it. My hope has been that as I build content, I will build readership and ranking. I plan on taking my time to get there. Nothing good comes easy. This book should be a great help.

  8. Thanks for pointing this out Brian – I’ve been looking for something like this.

    I have been focusing on the subscriber count and social media, so SEO has been given little to no attention. Whilst SEO won’t take priority over the other two, there is certainly no harm in giving it some attention.

  9. >> My hope has been that as I build content, I will build readership and ranking.

    This might happen, but your content needs to be both truly unique and well written. As far as I remember, Steve at stevepavlina.com did mention somewhere that he didn’t do marketing for his blog. But he indeed had a few articles which couldn’t be found anywhere else, since he used his original research drawn from personal experience.

    But if you are just mostly rehashing other people ideas, you will need invest into marketing.

  10. Thanks Brian. I haven’t started a blog yet, but am planning one for the new year.

    I purchased SEOBook very recently, but haven’t been on his site in a little bit. This should be a good read as well!

  13. I suggest to get Aaron’s SEOBOOK without thinking anything else. It will be your smart decision.

    Go and Get it…
