How to get top rankings.

Blogs are much like a diary except in reverse. But they also spin off a separate new webpage that will be out there for as long as the blog is in existance. The list of archives is in the right hand column. Blogs have lots of neat features that these egroups don’t have. One of those is that you can have a blog and a yahoo egroup such as this one and each time you post a new day’s article the blog will send an email to the egroup and the egroup will automatically send an email to all of the people who have subscribed to the egroup.

You can also turn each individual days archive into another new webpage and that can be stored on a website which will then be picked up by the search engines. It just takes a lot longer time before a search engine will pick up on a static webpage on a website. Normally it will take 3 to 6 months before search engines will pick up on a web site or a webpage but if you have a blog that you post to regularly and what you have to say on your blog is something other than garbage then what you post on your blog will be in the search engines in a matter of hours. And by “garbage” I mean something besides some kid talking about his latest drinking or sex party and there are huge numbes of kids who do just that. They usually talk about whatever comes to mind for a couple of months and then forget all about it.

Serious bloggers have a purpose in mind and they usually write well and with a passion and purpose for what they write about. They know what they are doing and why. They know that content is king and links are all important. They know about and use tagging and religiously ping every time they post. They use both RSS feeds and API keys. They have web sites too and they link back and forth a lot. They are professionals at what they do.

Many of them are presidents or other officials of very large corporations such as GM, Ford, Chrysler and many of our Fortune 500 companiies. All of the major news media now use blogs and have for several years now. That is how we get all those neat reports right from the battlefields from what are called “embedded reporters” who are using laptops and cell phones or satellite modems to get the news and photos out to the public in an almost constant stream of news.

I started my Creditwrench blog back in 1999 and I’ve been at it ever since. I’ve now even lost track of some of the blogs I have started and let go for one reason or another but I know I have better than 70 of them and keep most of them updated regularly. Lots of them update themselves automatically every day and I don’t even have to touch them. They are updated via the RSS feeds from other places such as news feeds.

I actually started blogging (in a sense) back in 1982 but that was not on the internet because the internet didn’t exist as we know it today back then. I started what was known as a BBS back then and it was known as “Magna Carta News Service” after 1994. Then I migrated it to the internet where it is today.

I have it automatically updated by both the Oklahoma House of Representatives Press room and the Oklahoma Senate Press room. They update it each day and sometimes more than once a day and I never have to touch it. They also stream live audio feeds to it every day the Oklahoma Senate is in session and you can listen to the Oklahoma Senate actually in session. Then I add my own articles to it from time to time.

And besides the blogs I have about 3 or 4 thousand web pages out there and several websites as well as 3 message boards and I’m adding more and more each and every day. One of those very popular message boards is Creditwrench message forum Is it any wonder that it is claimed that there are at least 8 billion webpages on the internet today? Some estimates even claim that there are more like 11 billion webpages and nobody really knows for sure. Nobody is big enough to really keep track of it all.

That is why search engines are so important and why it is so important to keep track of the numbers. If you are buried down on the 999th page of the SE listings what good is it? Nobody will ever find you. You also have to know how to get top ratings in the search engines so your pages come up at least close to the top of searchs. To get there you have to know what people are searching for and build webpages that will get lots of searches. I get thousands of people visiting my blogs and webpages every day because I come up within the top 10 on a huge number of different search terms and I usually have multiple listings on the 1st page of the listings.

That’s why if you do a search for Richard Cornforth I’ll have at least 5 or 6 listings in the first page of listings every time. And that is why that if you put in the name, address or phone number for any collection agency anywhere in the US you are probably going to come up with one or more of my webpages and then before you can even start looking for the collection agency that you are looking for I’m going to tell you why you should never pay a collection agency a crying dime and how you can defeat their abusive debt collection practices.

And then you will probably visit my Creditwrench website or my Creditwrench Blog or one of my other message boards or web pages. You will learn about my 18 questions to ask debt collectors every time they call.
