SEO Test Trail Begins

What is this blog about? It is a lot like the show Seinfeld - "IT IS ABOUT NOTHING!"

I was sitting around thinking about how content is king on the web according to Google, coupling that with Google's statement that 25% of their searches every month are new, never seen before search terms, and it got me to thinking. What of you just kept posting to a blog just whatever popped into your head, would you still start realizing a significant amount of traffic? If you did develop traffic, could you monetize it?

Well, if content is king, then all you should need to do is build up a good amount of unique and interesting content and let it do its work (I'm willing to bet right now that this won't happen). I believe that content isn't King, despite what the great Google would like us all to think, but rather web marketing is. Its like the old question "If a tree crashes in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" If you put up great content and no one is there to read it, does it mater? I'm going to test this with my test.

Now I know I'm getting a little arrogant with the assumption that I'll be able to create great content, but I o believe I'll be able to keep it interesting at the very least.

To my mind, the only way to really test Google's golden rule of "content is king" is to test it and what better platform to test it on than Blogger, a Google platform? I'm making it easy for Google to find the content! So here we are, you and I, probably just I since this is my first post, with my SEO Trial blog. I pledge to do the following during this 60 day trial:

1- I will blog at least once every day - you have to have the content and new postings every day to put Google's postulation to the test
2- The posts will vary in topic discussion, but the majority will reside around digital and web marketing. We have to have a blog with a general theme but some variety to test the theory.
3- I will post some links to this blog in directories and will try to build a little interest outside of the search sphere, but I will be relying upon my content and the search engines to drive the traffic. After all, if content is king then it should be enough!
4- I will do on-blog seo for my posts (I'm going out of my way to be fair here)
5- I will not attempt to monetize this blog until the 60 days are over - have to build the traffic first and then make money off of it. I will begine trackign the traffic shortly and listng the figures here for your reading pleasure.

So there you have it - an SEO text trial test to see just how much traffic you can build be content alone. What I expect to find: I'm willing to bet that without seoing the heck out of the blog, and going out and connecting with other bloggers, we won't see much traffic at all. And, if that is the case, then we'll all see that content isn't really king like Google says, web marketing is!

You've read my test, my theory, and what I expect to find. If you're at all curious, please watch my blog and participate. If you think I'm crazy, thats fine and you can let me know.

The next thing I'll do is to register my blog 25 blog directories, that is beside posting on it.
