Platform Bed Blog : Bed News and Updates

Whenever you start a blog, you should marry your blog to feeds . To let other people know immediately whenever you updated your blog and keep your readers become returning audiences, a feed would be the best solution at least for now. If you have a site or another domain, integrating blog to your site is a great way to promote your blog especially your blog is relevant to the topic of your site. You may even get returning audiences if they become interested in your blog.

I just found this great feature in feedburner called “buzzbooster”. In general, BuzzBoost republishes your burned feed’s content as go-anywhere HTML and you for your convenience, it gives you a snippet of JavaScript you can paste into your page templates. By filling variables, you can have full control over how many blog headlines you want to display on your page. As you update your blog, the content on your page will also get updated. You can view how that blog looks like on my site at Platform Bed Blog, and I also took a screenshot here:

To apply BuzzBooster, you need to set up an account at feedburner (you really should if you own a blog), and then click Your Feed-> Publicize -> BuzzBooster. Other than BuzzBooster, they have a lot of other cool features and I am sure you will be pleased with that.

I don’t think any of you would have noticed that the rank of the primary keyword Best Platform Bed was targeting－”platform bed” dropped to the 3rd page on MSN(I did not expect to get ranked well on Google, since there is a “sandbox” there). At that time, I reanalyzed the title, meta tags and keyword density of the top 10 sites on MSN and accordingly, I optimized my site again based on this analysis. However, the ranking remained the same and I started to get frustrated. I was telling myself to be “cool” and “let it go”. What behind this “cool” is the fact that I am telling myself do not over optimize the site, which is to say that don’t always change stuff like title, meta description, keyword density… these onpage factors whenever you see your site got dropped. Give the SE some time to pick up the changes and pray if you like….

Now, my site gets back to the first page on MSN if you do a search for the keyword “platform bed” on MSN. http://search.sympatico.msn.ca/results.aspx?q=platform+bed&geovar=56&FORM=REDIR
