Ever wondered how you could show up better on local Search Engine Result Pages. Well its pretty simple. Its not rocket science. Oh and if you don’t know what SERP is then I should tell you what it is. Well its basically the results you get after you do a search at a search engine.

ccTLD

Now I’m assuming that you have a bit of basic SEO done. Okay first of all, you need your ccTLD (country code top level domain). Like United States has .us, UK has .co.uk and Canada has .ca. Got it? Now if you don’t know your ccTLD then check this out.

Local Web Host

Now you know what your ccTLD is. So go get one. Like mysite.co.uk or something. After you’ve done that look for a local web host. You need to make sure that they are hosted in the same country as you are. It might cost a bit more but its worth it (at least for SEO purposes).

And that’s it. Yep! Its that simple. Told you, it wasn’t rocket science. Just be patient and do some general SEO and advertising and you’ll get the sweet results pretty soon.

Now there are a lot of blogs out there and that means competition. A lot more competition everyday. And you want your blog to be a popular and successful one. Well you could say that you want some traffic to your blog. So, right now I’ll tell you about some stuff that could get you some traffic.

First of all, we all know that people love free stuff! Yeah you can’t say that people don’t like free stuff. People will even take the crappiest thing, if its free. So, I think you know what I’m going to say. Yeah give some free stuff to people. Now it doesn’t have to be something big or like something that you will have to ship it to them. Give them something like a template, fonts, scripts, e-books and there are tons of stuff that you can give them. People really appreciate free stuff. Well sometimes there might be an exception. Lets not talk about that.

You want your blog to have it’s own domain name which is pretty easy to remember. Now of course, it would be pretty difficult to remember a long URL and you can also say that it is a negative side. And you want to blog about something particular. But then again it’s not always possible, like I blog about a lot of different things but they are somewhat related. But try to stick to a general topic like technology. Where you might write only about cameras or you could even talk about cameras, cellphones, computers, etc. But I would also suggest that you don’t blog on stuff like dragons. Because you wouldn’t really have a lot to right about them.

Another thing that you could do is, comment on other blogs. Now I’m talking about comments which are relevant to the post and not spam. When you comment on other blogs (especially popular ones), people might like your comments and then visit your blog if there is link. Or you could even provide a URL to a post that you wrote and it’s related to the post on the other blog(s).

There are tons of things you could do. But what really matters is that if your content is good or not. Your blog has to provide the best information on the topic that you write about and not just be a good one.
