The document notes that ranking highly in search engines takes time and other traffic sources exist, like publishing content across various sites to repurpose it. Key recommendations include writing valuable content, using targeted keywords, and distributing content widely instead of relying solely on search engine rankings.

1. A lot of people do not know what a blog is or how it can help them out. In this blog post,
I will reveal some secret about a blog and how it can be helpful for anyone.
What is a blog?
According to dictionary.com, a blog is a website containing a writer's or group of writers'
own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other
websites.
What is the purpose of having a blog?
You can use a blog to post on purpose for traffic to your website or products you are
promoting by talking about something you want to share with others, or you have a solution to a
problem a lot of people are having. Also you can use your blog to connect with people about
some issues or anything.
For example, if you are a fan of a soccer team, and you sell soccer jerseys, you can write a blog
about your favorite team, and in the post you can have links that will take the readers to the
website where they can purchase your jerseys. Moreover, you can have also banners of other
products you are promoting so that readers who came across your website can see other products
you are promoting.
Does my blog need to rank on google to get traffic?
The common mistake a lot of bloggers make when they start blogging is they want to
rank on the first page of google. One thing you need to know is that it takes time for your posts
to rank on google. People who have a lot of content on their blog and have a lot of subscribers

2. who go to their blog regularly, and do SEO (search engine optimization) are most likely to rank
on google first page. Let me tell you that ranking on google is not the most important thing.
There are several ways you can get traffic to your blog, then to your websites.
How can I get traffic to my blog if I do not need to rank on google first page?
There are several ways you can get traffic to your blog or websites without getting ranked on
google first or second page. They are:
1. Product content
First of all, you have to write a good content to educate, inform, and engage your
audience by leading with value, with no sales pitch.
2. Publish Content
After writing your content, you have to publish it so that people can find it. Usually your
blog post can be found trough search engines based on targeting keyword phrases that get a lot of
searches. Here is the mistake a lot of people do; They write content, publish on their blog, and
wait to get traffic because they think they use targeted keyword phrases that get a lot of
searches; therefore; their blog will be exposed, and get them traffic. To get more traffic with your
content, you can publish your content in different places.
The first one is to repurpose your content and publish it on article for distribution sites such as:
enzinearticles.com, articlesbase.com, buzzle.com, goarticle.com, articlesnatch.com
Second, you repurpose your content and submit it on video websites such as: YouTube, vimeo.

3. Third, repurpose your content and submit it on forum posts such as: warrior forum and
betternetworker.com
Fourth, repurpose your content and publish it on document sharing website such as: docstoc.com
box.net slideshare.net, Pinterest
3. Have good heading
Your content need to have a good heading because you have 5 or 6 sec to grab the visitor
attention the visitor hits the back button to leave your blog. Use google keyword tool to find
targeted keyword phrases for your headings.
4. Go after targeted keyword phrases that get low search volume
A lot of people are going after targeted keyword phrases with high search volume for
their content which put most bloggers in a high competitive way to get their blog posts rank. To
avoid the competition, go after targeted keyword phrase with low search volume. Since you will
be sharing your content in different places, you will still get traffic from other sources I
mentioned above.
To sum up, the secret of a blog is to blog daily, tell others and cash your check. Also
create content in various forms and distribute the content as wide as you can by repurposing it
and sharing it on different places to get more traffic instead of trying to rank it on google. You

places.
