Ecommerce promotion: How many blog posts per week minimum for fast launch
-
Hello,
We're trying to jumpstart our new Ecommerce site with a blog. We just launched and have 4 thorough blog posts which I'm working to refine to 10X content. Trying to make all content 10X. As you know, it's not easy.
Our niche has little to no content written by competitors. We are hoping to get to about $5000/month sales with this site.
How many blog posts should we launch a week (10X content) in order to take advantage of boosting our results in the rankings as fast as possible. Does it usually take 6 months?
I know the more the better, but consider we only have so many resources, so I'm trying to decide if one 10X piece a week is enough, or 2 or 3.
Thanks.

Some good stuff! I am wondering about the other SEO factors you recommended...
Backup info:
Since there are very few informational keywords I am just writing (yes unique! good point!) very helpful high quality articles on topics that people need help with. Then refining them to 10X when there is competition.
We let our customer service team provide most of the meat of the articles, then rewrite them for quality, visuals, etc. They are very experienced The only cost is our time.
I've made a list. We can probably squeeze out 20 unique topics
Question:
What can I do besides just post topics and post them (for free) on Facebook? I thought I needed to focus on 10X content and just earn links. Please explain what you guys mean by other SEO factors.
And any more feedback you have based on my refined information.
Thanks.

Hi,
As with most things in SEO, the answer depends. It depends on how many UNIQUE topics you can generate and how long you're willing to spread those out over. Unique being the keyword there.Don't just go out and write X amount of posts per week because someone recommended it or your read it somewhere - that's going to lead to crap or topically-identical content just so you can fulfill a quota.
Make a list of topics for posts, as many as you can that are unique and worth having their own URL. If you start to get too many posts that are basically the same, Google won't rank either as they'll view it as a spam tactic. Once you have that list, prioritize it in terms of average search volume for the keywords you've associated with each post. Then start with 1 or 2 posts per week. If you see good results from that, consider ramping it up. If you're not seeing good results, step back and shift your strategy.
As Andy said, there's no right answer to this question, but there are smart ways to plan your approach. Just remember to keep your posts unique (yes, I am saying that a lot, because it's important!), the best way to rank is to show Google something new that they haven't seen before.
Happy blogging!

yes your question is not clear
According to your Question "How many blog posts should we launch a week" it should be 4-5 per week and also you should schedule your post in order to promote it effectively.
As andy said, "Also the content alone won't help you rank" but also you should consider many SEO factor to boos up your ranking.

Your asking the million dollar question.
There is no right / wrong answer for the number of pieces, if you say there is no real competition you might get away with the 1 piece a week.
In terms of rankings, this shouldn't take as 6 months, I've usually found a few weeks to get indexed and ranked.
What you need to do is work out how much the content is going to cost to produce - if its going to cost you $2k to get $5k worth of sales is it worth it. Also if its costing you $2k then you probably worth only creating 1 a month as the maths wouldn't justify it. (costing you more than what it generates in sales).
Also the content alone wont help you rank, you will still need links to help boost its rankings and also a technically sound website.

Domain authority through blogs
So, I was looking at my competiton, and noticed that they have 4 times the amount of link that my page has. I noticed that they made a blog on almost every free blog hosting available (like webs.com, jimdo.com, .weebly.com...) And every blog has a high domain authority (and poor content) with links to their page. Is this helping with their domain authority? Should i do if for my page too? Thank, M.

Google Authorship and Guest Posts
I'm including my google author details at the bottom of guest posts with a link to my site. Is this not giving google a clear signal the that it is a guest post by me and although the site owner has found it worthy enough to include the post on their site it's not really an 'editorially given link' in the true sense of the term?

Multiple guest posts from one site have any effect on rankings?
I have started guest blogging and have sites asking me for more content. I understand that regular guest blogging is great for building authority as an author and has the potential to get more links through word of mouth and other sites linking to me. The more posts I do the more exposure I get. But if I have say 3 or 4 posts on an external site with each linking to my site (to a different url and with different anchor text) does that have any effect on rankings as all links come from the same domain? As I understand it links from different root domains are what matters. Presumably a site with links from 5 different sites with 10 links on each external domain totalling 50 links wouldn't rank as well as a site with links from 50 different domains (1 per domain)?

Press Releases Weekly
Hello, I know this has been answered in the past but we have been doing press releases multiple times per week, and have been getting Great referrals, at the same time our link count is climbing. Can this have a negative effect on the overall site? Should we be doing these less often? Thanks very much!!!

Does a Subdomain Blog Pass Juice?
I have a client who has their blog on a subdomain instead of subfolder. Unfortunately, the eCommerce platform they are using does not allow them to implement a blog in the subfolder. So now we are looking at growing their blog as a means to drive more traffic to the main site. The blog is a mirror of the eCommerce site's navigation with the main content section being a blog rather than products. Will publishing content and building links to the subdomain blog pass authority to the main site?

Is posting our original articles on competitor websites with a linkback beneficial?
We are receiving requests to repost our articles in full on competitor websites. Our competitors have expressed they are fine with linking back to our homepage, and the original source page. Would this benefit us, or do more harm than good?
