I have been very busy lately with a couple of projects and also with my upcoming wedding. My girlfriend and I are doing all the work. We did not hire a coordinator because we want to make it very personal for us.
As you may also notice, because of these developments, I have not updated my blog for a month now. Well, if you can consider this as an update.
So in case you would like to send me a message either with regards to my blog or my copy writing work, please use my Contact form and not the comments section of this blog.
Thanks!

It has only been a month since I started to optimize this blog for the keywords “freelance copywriter” and now it has started to go up Google’s U.S. search results.
The first time I noticed that it appeared in the results, it was on the 12th page. Now, as of this writing, it is on the 3rd page, ranked 26th overall. All I can say is, I’m satisfied with the way things are going. But of course my target is to be on the first page, which I believe is not that hard to achieve.
Also, my girlfriend’s blog, www.CallCenterGal.com, which is one of the first blogs we ever set up, is now ranked second in the Google U.S. search results for “call center blog”. We started to optimize that blog for that search term about middle of last year so it took us more than a year to get to where it is now in the search results. I guess it is more competitive in the call center search arena.

You probably already know that search engines cannot tell what an image posted on your site is all about. For example, if you post an image like this one:
…how can a search engine know that the picture is about John Stockton? Even if you put a text saying ‘John Stockton’ within that image, it still can’t be read by the search spiders.
There are a couple of effective ways to make this image searchable.

More than a year ago, I didn’t know anything about domain registration and web hosting. So what I did was I looked for a web host that also offered domain registration services. I found one and I was very happy with it because the hosting package was very cheap (I’ll write another post on why you should never go cheap when hosting your site).
It was very easy because the hosting company did everything for me. All I did was I gave them the domain name I wanted and then I signed up for their hosting package. They also installed WordPress on my behalf.
This was a very good setup for me, especially since I was just starting out. But later on I found out that this was not a good idea. [click to continue…]
