Thinking too much about SEO in the beginning can be a waste of time, unless you know how to make some insane authority in a very short period of time. That’s exactly right.

It's a fairly decent chunk of my daily traffic, but I have other sources that I would say are more important. Google will become more and more important as I get higher and higher for my main keyword though. I get about 400-500 or so people from Google everyday.

When I find keywords that are matches for the topics of my sites, I continue to concentrate on those keywords, but when I find keywords that are unrelated or otherwise not the focus of my site, I try to steer clear of those keywords. Relevant traffic is more important/valuable than general traffic. Regards, Jonathan Frye Blog: <a href="http://www.makemoneyjot.com" rel="nofollow">Entrepreneurship</a> Hi Court,

So what it sounds like is that rather than try to optimise for the exact phrase, you are looking at it from a more general point of view to ask yourself what kind of information the surfer is actually looking for and then using that information to base future blog posts that provide that information? That makes more sense :-) And yes right now the blog is very new, I think the only thing I actually rank for is my own name! To be honest I haven't really thought much about SEO at all - I just write about whatever occurs to me at the time. Thanks for the clarification.

That's a very good question. ;) Dominating for a keyword is almost 100% about your site's authority. Over the last 8 months I have done a lot of different things to build the authority of my site, almost too many to mention here. Let me give you a few of the main ones here, so that you can get some ideas. Since the main keyword I'm trying to target is 'internet marketing', I have tried to create the best internet marketing resource I could. I did this hoping that a lot of people would link to my site, which has happened more and more as time goes on. It all starts there. When I have the best internet marketing site in the world, I will probably rank first for internet marketing. Link baiting has worked out really well for me. When writing a post you have to consider a lot of things, including whether you think people will link to it or not. If even 5 sites link to a post, it makes it about 100 times more likely that it will rank well for its topic. That will also build the authority of your entire site, making it easier to rank well for your main keywords. Yes, writing articles has made a big difference for CourtneyTuttle.com. It has really helped me to get my name out there, and has also helped me to build the authority of my site. Hi Carlo!

But something more interesting now is whether google is reliable or not in the future. Regarding the latest PR down grade on Problogger.net and copyblogger.com, it makes me think that Google is a silly machine. THis is a fresh idea for me.
