good suggestions. rank for long/medium tail keywords is incredibly important. it just takes time and concerted effort to do the work to promote your site and most people, particularly developers/hackers don't want to spend time on 'chores' like that.
- barmstrong 17y agoAgreed...as a hacker I definitely avoided marketing for a while and felt it was "beneath me" or something. I think you still have to be careful, most of the stuff in the "internet marketing" community for example is ridiculous and scammy. But you definitely can't ignore marketing as an entrepreneur.
- vaksel 17y agohere is the question about the long tail words, do you need decent page rank for just your main site's homepage, or do you need page rank for all those other pages too?
- barmstrong 17y agoThey don't need page rank, even your home page doesn't if it's long tail enough. Once upon a time I was tutoring people in finance. I registered the domain name HoustonFinanceTutor.com since that's where I lived. Within a few weeks I was #1 in Google for the search "houston finance tutor". It was a brand new website with zero page rank. It ranked there just because i had the keywords in the domain name, and this on-page factor was enough. Play around with it...
