I love being in the lab, it&#8217;s the best part of SEO I think, tinkering in the lab with stuff and discovering what happens if you put this and this together and give it a twist of this.<\/p>\n<p>So, three posts, pulled from topical news from my feed reader. Written quickly and with a conversational style. Giving useful, actionable information and mostly focussed on SEO, social media or tech.<\/p>\n<p>Pluck out a newsy topic, write some stuff quickly and then publish. It&#8217;s actually a quite common technique which focusses on the power of the title tag and the authority of a website\/blog. These terms are topical and so get searched for, although it&#8217;s mostly used by sites who make money from displaying adverts but it can be useful for other business models.<\/p>\n<p>The trick is, you have to write well and have an attractive style. You also have to know a little about what you&#8217;re talking about. Not a lot, it doesn&#8217;t have to have depth, but it needs to have a wide surface area and you need to know how to communicate that in a way that is pithy and makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, it also helps with your writing if you know a few uncommon words which you can include here and there, it makes people think you are more brainy than you actually are. I&#8217;m a lover of words and have a book shelf full of books on words, so it flows out when I need it.<\/p>\n<p>How does this help you if you have an affiliate blog selling model trains online?<\/p>\n<p>Best to outsource if this to your team members. What do you mean you don&#8217;t have a team and you do everything on your own? Hmmm, that&#8217;s for another post.<\/p>\n<p>Hire poets to write your blog posts, they are the fastest and most exciting bloggers, if you can get them to stop smoking weed for a few mins. Don&#8217;t hire copywriters, the art of the word is beaten out of these people from birth. You want to rise above the swamp, not add to its moist, fecund mass.<\/p>\n<p>And there is another reason for this series, I love to write this kinda stuff.<\/p>\n<p>And you really should do what you love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is the 4th in a series.
