Mike Levin

This is the flowchart on how to blog for SEO, growing your content by taking writing suggestions from the HitTail keyword tool. I have to start featuring this on the HitTail site more. It was eliminated because the folks who controlled the site at the time thought it was “too complicated”. Do you think this is too complicated?

I’m a search engine optimizer, and it’s time to start optimizing on my name. I’m actually not doing too bad, with my new domain, MikeLevin.me. First lesson of SEO: get the most important keyword in the main (second-level) domain if you can. Duhhhh. But I’m in competition with a bunch of other high profile Mike Levin’s, and the fact that there’s a popular radio personality named Mark Levin, resulting in a whopping “See results for…” insertion, occupying 3 precious spots on the Top-10 list, and pushing me down. So, there are actually several aspects to optimizing on Mike Levin. I need to keep pushing out more content (of course), give people plenty of reason to link to me (though I don’t want to encourage deep linking yet, because I don’t know if I’ll keep the Tumblr URL structure), and interestingly, I need to increase the overall search-volume on “mike levin” to put it on a more level playing field with “mark levin” and eliminate the alternative search suggestion. Does that mean I need to become an ultra-conservative radio personality? Maybe I’ll start an ultra-liberal radio show and confuse the hell out of everyone. Ha ha.
