Tech Productivity

I don’t know how many blog something useful and researched work but i know atleast that there are many who blog general,medium quality articles or sometimes just crap so that words still appear to search engine crawlers.Infact there are very few blogs i have seen comparatively(i said comparatively,in comparison to other millions existing blogs), writing good and some useful content than just few lines of alphabets.And some blogs write too good and useful content,but they are limited.

     Now those writing crap articles aren’t fool to waste their time on just writing for few minutes(1-2 minutes?!) and hit the ‘Publish’ button.They are all after SEO.They believe in SEO,they think crawlers don’t recognize quality content(TRUTH) and what they need is content anyhow and most percentage of SEO.While quality writers think quality articles can attract traffic,crap SEO writers believe that it’s SEO that attracts traffic.Now they aren’t wrong if you see at a point.Won’t they get traffic if they rank top 3 for a competitive keyword? yes,they will and will get some very good money,not for useful articles they wrote but yes,certainly for SEO work they did for site.You might say this is somehow unfair but you got to believe that this is the truth that is going to remain because google or yahoo or MSN can’t keep a person to look after all the sites and see if the content is in standard to quality.It’s algorithms and they work their ways.Robots can’t judge quality.Only structures and quantity online.

         But if you are looking to build up a readership on long run,then it’s certain that you write and practice something that will be quite helpful to people.Start with little SEO,you will end up as a master.A readership i personally believe is quite helpful in future because nothing can beat 10,000 readers rather than 20,000 SE traffic.Why i say that?

(1) Fixed income: With that 10,000 readers i have got fixed income,if you don’t let you quality let down and continue further.These are your readers and are like virus who will spread a word or to about you.I don’t remember how many times i have said about blogs i regularly read. 20,000 search engine traffic can anytime break with new algorithms or change,making you depressed or handicapped for a while.No rankings anywhere in any search engines are permanent.They change from time to time.

(2)Brand: Have self-respect.Build your brand.Let yourself be recognized respectfully and with high esteem by 10,000 RSS or e-mail subscribers.Don’t always run after more hits,more money.Its better to have established blog with trusted readers than wavy search engine readers.

(3) Social media recognition: I have seen most sites on front page of digg are sites with some permanent base of readers and who write quality articles.So you see,you get benefited by social media traffic too.Because it’s the regular readers who will regularly stumble or digg for your articles not traffic from search engines mostly.

(4)Popularity: A killer or something valuable posts can get noticed.Don’t you talk about something which has greatly informed you something quite useful or thrilling.People chat about it or talk on forums.I don’t want to give you mathematical calculations here,but you can calculate yourself how much traffic you have and how many percentage of visitors of your blog will talk about it and what will be the return from that.It gets relevant links from other sites(yes,it does) which have high traffic because they feel this content is not worth missing for their readers.You will often see a link to original article on blogs by writers to give you the credit

 All this adds to overall traffic of your blog if you study this case properly.Search engine traffic have no guarantee when they break.It’s like learning new SEO techniques and learning new again to get updated.Instead why not write something useful and get its benefit’s stated above.
