Awesome, I'm happy to hear that someone else tried this and that I'm not way off base with this method. Hopefully it works for me as it did for you Kim!

Just to add, don't forget to use sources to post your blogs on such as Google Ping, Digg, Reddit, Ping Farmer....etc as well as the usual ones like FB, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn or any others you may want to use. :))

That's a good idea, I will definitely look into those places. It makes sense to spread your content throughout the internet, it'll make it more likely to be seen. Thanks!

That is what Social Networking is all about. Google Ping has a ton of sites they send you URL out to, made sure to check all for the 3 different blocks of social sites they send to. :))

That's interesting, I don't know why I haven't heard of that before. I'm glad you told me about it though because it sounds very useful.

I learned about it in a training video called SEO cheatsheet checklist, it was created by the same member that posts all the live training videos that come out on Fridays. :))

Oh ok, I've been meaning to look into those but haven't quite yet. Obviously I'm missing out!

Don't worry, lots to learn just make notes or bookmark things to go back to. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Set your goals accordingly and then move on to the next. :))

I agree, it's pretty clear that Kyle and Carson know what they're doing. And I still do intend on doing the lessons in order (almost), however instead of putting out just a few posts to begin with, I'm going to put out a lot. We'll see what happens.

That's exactly what I mean. I was thinking about that as well, since it does take Google a while to index. However, I've heard that using Google Webmaster Tools can speed up the whole process of indexing and get you on your way to being ranked more quickly. That's something you might want to check out if you haven't already.
