In ninety days my site is two and three on page one with the keyword phrase video production big rapids
From April one to July one I did a 90 day website-blog-SEO challenge on my dwvideo site. According to one of my clients and friends, Dr. Harpreet Singh references Simon Sinek’s Start with the Why of the Problem. ‘Don’t tell someone what to do – tell them how to do it’ – that is my goal. The purpose of my challenge was two fold: One is the share the data with you as I learned more and two, for us to feed the Google beast targeted keywords so our SEO grows.
What is the Google beast you ask? The Google beast thrives on content. It graves it, wants it, cannot live with it. So, on your website you need to be Google friendly and feed the content beast. For my challenge the focus was on feeding the beast through my Blog. One blog post a day for ninety days. BTW: Larry and I are still reviewing the data from the ninety days. From the data we will have the good, bad and ugly. I promise, this info will be posted as soon as we can.
Why did I start this challenge? It all began when we changed our website. We have a new look, feel and direction for the new site. The problem at first, not a huge problem, was my old site was ranked and I did not want it showing up anymore.
Now back to the results of the challenge. For one result (and there will be more) lets look at the phrase – video production big rapids. We are listed two and three. the second result is from one of my blogs. The third result is from my landing page. More on landing pages later.
The 90 day website-blog-SEO challenge is just the start. Remember when mentioned before the Google beast thrives on content. Another tip, it is always hungry. This is what you have to continue to feed with content often.
Was curious that if the dwvideo.com.php56-26.ord1-1.websitetestlink.com site was ranked for the keywords I wondered, “how were my images ranked?” The images below are from page one, beginning from the top of the page.
Our images from the same video production big rapids ranked well on the first page.

In a video we produced for the Wheatlake Cancer and Wellness Center I had Susan provide the opening for the video. A cancer survivor herself, and the person behind the brand her on-camera open provides trust on business.

The approach is real, not an actor, he shares his experience firsthand.

When I began writing a blog my goal was WordPress Blogging for SEO. Using the blog for a couple reasons. One to share how media works by sharing what we have done for others. Second, to help with my Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Blogging is about content. I noticed when using my WordPress SEO by Yost, one of the analysis items was to write a 300 word blog. If not this is what I would get: “There are 65 words contained in the body copy. This is far too low and should be increased.”
I then went out to find out why. Came across a blog from Risdall, “Ideal content length is a reoccurring debate in the online marketing community, but it turns out that Google does not have a minimum word count for indexing. A 299-word blog post can do as well as a 301-word post. Even 150 words suffice in some cases.” You see it is all about content and how you use it.”
According to Google, ““One of the most important steps in improving your site’s ranking in Google search results is to ensure that it contains plenty of rich information that includes relevant keywords, used appropriately, that indicate the subject matter of your content.”
WordPress Blogging for SEO should be part of your ‘do it yourself’ marketing plan. The more you blog, the more new content helps your site. How often should you blog? From my research I found arguments of daily or multiple times a day, to a few times a week. Successful bloggers are doing it both way.
Regular posting on your blog puts you and your brand in front of people. Infrequent posting can lead to readers feeling disconnected, and to even forget who you are completely. Look at what will help your customers and then provide them the information they need. Misconceptions for blogging.

There are many benefits WordPress Websites offer, from the ease to maintain, consistency of all pages, Google finds it inviting (which means SEO friendly), mobile friendly and allows you to share your expertise with its on board blogging platform.
Like with everything in life there are some issues. WordPress has some bugs as well. According to Here Next Year dot com, “Plugin updates and WordPress software version upgrades can sometimes be a problem. For most, it’s just a click of a button and everything is fine. For some, they’ll click an update or upgrade link and all of a sudden they have a blank screen displaying on their website. Like with any cms product that uses a database to push content to be viewed, eventually there will come a time when you need to get some technical help even if for something as simple as upgrading plugins. The key is to learn how to backup your files and database, then do the upgrade or updates, and be able to revert back to the backed-up version if you need to. And, by all means, make sure your website manager knows to do that too before just updating or upgrading out of the blue.”
Backing up your website is a good practice no matter what platform you are using. Backing up your website is like backing up your computer – needs to be done.
