Jacob, so I have my keywords in order and I am posting on two different blogs. One important is our important business blog and the other is just my personal blog (that I don't care about search – just for friends, etc). I sometime want to duplicate posts on both blogs but I want to make sure my business blog gets the “first post” credit for better SEO results.

Question: How long do I have to wait before copying the post onto my personal blog so that my business blog get “first post credit” by Google/Other Search Engines?

Love your posts, Keep up the great work

when you research keywords, do you put them in quotations? to see exactly which sites show up that are optimized for that exact phrase? or do you do you look at competition with a broad match?

thanks

Aside from from exchanging links to other companies, another way for you to help the site in getting higher listings is to issue a company press release that would link back your site as well. One of the good sites that is useful for press release is https://www.pr.com/signin.php.

Also, it won’t hurt if you could participate on forums that relatively discusses SEO or forums that allows you to place a link in your signature.

@Everyone….in order to achieve good page rank you need to exchange your links to other higher rank sites too

@ Evan….Keyword search volume is a good metric to use when picking which keywords you would like to rank for. It’s best to find keywords that are the best combination of high search volume and low competition. Chances are that most keywords will fall in between.

I like to base my competition levels on the number of websites returned in Google for a particular term. I don’t prefer to use Yahoo or MSN for this as their results seem to be skewed a little bit too high.
