The Godfather has so many parallels to great blog content... I'll let you marinate on that.
This has been a Series idea that I’ve been planning to execute for some time now and I’m excited to finally find some time to write around this particular subject.
There is no question – content is the lifeblood of a blog. Without it you don’t actually have anything! But here’s the thing: Everyone creates content but not all content is actually visited and read. How does one make sure that their blog and their blog posts don’t end up the blackhole of the internet?
You see, the challenge is to create not just good content but great content that ranks well in search engines, engages your audience, and increases your pageviews. I know a thing or two about how this works (and doesn’t work) and I’d love to export all of that knowledge right into you!
Just like the other Series Posts this blog post here will serve as the landing page for the content as I generate it. I’m looking forward to this series and I hope you are too!
