Hey everyone it has been a LONG time since i did a website way back to Squidoo getting your pages ranked and getting your site crawled by google then using market samurai for keyword research.


Let me say I am trying to develop my OWN BRAND. My name, i figured Wordpress is still good but not sure anymore. Do original articles that get crawled upon by google still help getting you ranked? I ask this because I am a writer and have written many published articles and was going to do some new writeups on the same topic to blast out on my site i would create to get heavily ranked. Back in the day, i would use Wordpress as a blog, then do a new re-write and submit to Squidoo which google loved with backlinks all while building my regular high ranking keyword backlinks. it would always keep me on google nonstop. I assume things have changed a lot.

Any advice someone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Like for instance, My name is Jonathan Smith, I am an electrician. Let me write articles on electrical work on my Wordpress and hope google gets them all ranked. so if someone in NYC is looking for a good electrician then me, Jonathan Smith is found and it helps me find work as an electridian. I am a small time person not a big corporate machine so I have to be crafty in finding people to let me do work. I have managed to get my name in HUFFPOST and other Places by writing and offering commentary.

Thanks everyone! it has been a long long time but i wanna do it right while i got a little bit of time.
 
Sounds like you want to set up your own rank & rent is what we call this type of blog though you are the rank & rent in this case! 1. Do you have a business site anymore? 2. If not not build one arguably concentrate on that with local SEO! Maybe outsource a rank & rent site or build & write it yourself to target your KWs so you have two bites at the cherry funnel the leads from your rank and rent to your booking form. Once all setup build a decent landing page Agitate-Problem-Solutions nice & clean so people book you. Keep sending those emails out to guest blog with your expertise. You will find lots of resources on rank and rent here on black hat world & on YT by building 1 or a few rank & rent sites you will have a steady stream of leads that you own.

Wordpress is doing good still you can write blogs thats good but i would recommend you to run google ads or facebook ads if your main goal is to get an income from electrician job . If you are thinking to earn from the website thats another case

Thank you. I was using electrician as an example. But trying to scoop up the local market ya know.

Any suggestions to get google crawl my site and each additional post I make on it? I used to have a submission tool 10 years ago indexed almost immediately.

Hi. What is your goal with this project overall? Leads? Rank and Rent? Is this for yourself or something you want to monetize and sell? For instance, if I were an electrician, I would not get the best or most of my leads from a website vs promoting a GMB. Be happy to comment more but what is the goal?
