Search Engine Optimisation

As part of my mission to raise the profile of my online business www.Pen2Paper.co with search engines I have decided to first work on this Blog. I plan to research as much as I can on search engine optimisation (SEO) and will be updating this Blog with my findings. You'll notice a new section called Topics on the right hand side bar. The first topic I've added is SEO and I'll group all my SEO findings under this topic. By clicking a topic you should be able to read all the related posts.

It seems there is much I can do to improve the SEO of this Blog as well as my business website. I'm hoping that by optimising this Blog it will have a knock-on effect on the website as the blog links to the website. Only time will tell.

Attracting Visitors to Pen2Paper.CO

Despite all the hard work I've put into learning how to create my website, making it search engine friendly, creating an easy to use shopping cart and finding out how to provide links that can be used to download my lessons, Pen2Paper.CO still hasn't made it to the BIG time with the search engines. I can see this is going to be a long hard slog. I've printed some leaflets and displayed some posters on my travels around the country but more research and patience is needed.

I've just submitted the site to DMOZ under the category Arts - Writer's Resources - Children's Writing and also plan to try to update this BLOG more frequently. So look forward to some shorter, more regular posts containing updates on my progress as I try to attract more visitors to Pen2Paper.CO.

If anyone has any suggestions on what I could do I'd love to hear from you. Also, I'd be really grateful for any links for suitable sites to Pen2Paper.CO.  I really need some help getting my business off the ground and selling my first lesson.

Social Networking

With the aim of promoting my new business, I've signed up for Twitter and posted a few tweets. Take a look and follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/LizCranfield

I've submitted www.Pen2Paper.CO and www.Systemology.CO to the search engines and have started to use Google Analytics to see who's looking at my websites. It's amazing how quickly people find the sites - yesterday someone visited from Australia! No purchases of my children's book writing course yet though, so I really need some help with publicity.

I'm going to send out some invitations to friends to follow this Blog. I'd really appreciate it if you could accept the invitation. Then, if you feel you can, invite others to follow me. Hopefully with a few followers on these social networking sites, I might improve the visibility of my business.

If anyone has any other suggestions as to how I could improve the rating of my websites with the search engines I'd love to hear. And don't forget lesson 1 of my course 'How to Make Money Writing for Children' is available for download for only £1.00 at http://www.pen2paper.co/shop/ 

Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you join my social networking sites.
