    Great post Mike. Can you elaborate more on why there is a need to create both an account on Blogger as well as a self-hosted Wordpress blog?
  • mfruchter · 7 months ago
    Mark, thanks.

    Blogger is the main focus for the outposts, because of the ability to create multiple keyword driven points of entrance, or toll booths. WP will be main the central hub naturally geared for search engine traffic, but it wont be as effective as multiple outposts (blogs). I want to keep the self hosted WP blog pure, robust and informative. The outposts are more like teaser sites strictly for Google juice.

    Mike,
    Question on the social media sites; how do you keep them focused for the client with keywords, but not get canned for spam - for example, the "dozens" of blogger sites with various keywords? Also, are you doing these manually, or am I missing some great tool which helps make this quickly done?
    Thank you so much!

    Mike - excellent post. I talk about content outposts ALL the time on my podcast/blog as essential facets of a content/web strategy.

    I am interested in your use of blogger as well... Do you have any examples? I try to incorporate many Google products as well (many experiments with Knol)...

    Do you just automagically post excerpts from WordPress to Blogger?

    Looking forward to part two, and wondering if the customers have thought about social media as a possible two-way communication outlet, in which they can receive information from their customers in addition to providing information to their customers. Or is that part of the long-term education plan - "when people find these sites, they will be talking to you!"

    Free MLM leads and free guaranteed signups are keypoints to your internet network marketing success, and the best mlm signups or fresh mlm leads that you can get are the ones that you yourself have generated. Apart from you not spending anything on your self-generated leads, you can never be sure of the lead source when you just buy mlm leads. No business can prosper without fresh stream of business leads and one of the fastest network marketing online technique to generate these free MLM leads and free guaranteed signups is through social media marketing.

    Great strategy... thanks for the structure of the post, it's very helpful. However, there is one thing that I would change. As a client of Compendium Blogware there is no reason why I would ever consider business blogging on any other platform. Have you considered starting your blogging efforts there?
