Welcome to Daily SEO Tip
Hello world! Isn’t that the way you begin every new WordPress blog? Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve started a new SEO blogging project about SEO, over 5 years to be exact, and Hello World seems like a great way to begin.
Welcome to Daily SEO Tip, a new SEO blog launched by me and one of my favorite bloggers in the world, Ann Smarty.
Why Daily SEO Tip?
5 years ago I launched Search Engine Journal as a passionate project to establish myself as a blogger and document all of the great SEO research I was doing. Over time, SEJ grew into the blog it is today, with 10,000 readers and 20,000 RSS subscribers. SEJ now is a robust and competitive publication in the search marketing publishing world, and the expectations which such a blog can have can be overwhelming at times.
So, in an effort to keep blogging fresh, and do some new and exciting things, I decided to launch a new blog which would only require one post per day, and will give subscribers that one post to expect. Starting over fresh? Not really, it’s more like finding my blogging muse again in a new and fun project, and seeing if a burning inner question holds true; “if I had not started blogging about search in 2003, would SEJ be the blog it is today?”
What better way to answer such a burning inner question than taking the leap to launching a new search blog … let’s see how it goes.
Instead of going at it alone, I’ve hooked up with my good friend Ann Smarty who will be assisting with the blog and is my partner in crime on this project. Along with Ann & I, I’ll also be asking for the assistance of our readers and friends to actively contribute discussion and conversation with each post in our comment section, and I’ll do the best job I can do to keep commenting organic, with organic linking in the comments.
Organic Commenting FTW!
I’ve always felt that commenters deserve the recognition and reward of their time put into the discussion with a natural backlink, so we’ll be “Do Following” the comments (I hate using that term). Don’t be surprised if over time we decide to require registration to comment, as registration makes combating spam much more easier.
You may also notice the simplicity of Daily SEO Tip’s template. Thanks to FreshPress, we’re able to deliver our meaty tips without the clutter of too many ads or gadgets, in a sleek Twitter-esque design for easy reading, commenting and processing.
So, welcome to Daily SEO Tip, I hope you find our blog fun, refreshing and a transparent SEO destination to visit and contribute to on a daily basis. Please take the time to subscribe via RSS, favorite us, or give us a Thumbs Up on StumbleUpon to get things going.
Interested in listing your SEO blog on our blogroll? Well, we’re starting fresh on the blogroll too! Just leave a comment below and we’ll be sure to add you!

Daily SEO Tip…now that’s catchy! I’m ticked that I didn’t think of it first.
I’m very excited to see what you have in store – and I’ve subscribed already. As if there aren’t enough posts delivered to my Google Reader every day already. Geez…thanks, Loren!
Looking forward to reading stuff that makes me sound clever.

As recommended by Aidan Rogers @inkodeR I have popped on to your new website, Loren, and thought I would say: “cool” for starting this up. Social media should help you boost Google PageRank, and perhaps your daily SEO tip will get you greater traffic and loyalty from the public. Hope it all goes well!
Kind regards
Scott

Man…that’s going to be quite a blogroll by the time this is all said and done. Are you sure you thought that through?

LOL, can’t wait to see what it looks like tomorrow morning!

I don’t think I want to see it – I’m a little afraid. Is there a world record for “longest blogroll ever”? If there isn’t yet, there sure will be by tomorrow! The sad part is that I’ll be near the bottom since I start with “S”…you can just change my link to “Alysson” if you want. HAHA!
As an SEJ reader, I am sure I will be enjoying the new blog. And I can’t resist the offer of including http://www.SEO-writer.com/blog/ in the blogroll.
David Leonhardt’s last incredible blog post..Memes for linkbuilding
That seems like a challenge – one a day without being repetitive, but I love that you are willing to share all that with everyone. Can’t wait to see the project succeed though, cause it means we’ll all benefit if we all contribute. Thanks for doing this!
Loren Baker Reply:
February 11th, 2009 at 2:47 am
Exactly Mike! It’s not the power of one, it’s the power of all
Dude, it’s been a long long time. You were one of the first guest bloggers ever on SEJ. How have you been?
Mike Valentine Reply:
February 11th, 2009 at 4:28 am
Been doing great, thanks for asking. Loving the work and busy beyond belief! Little time to be social until Twitter came along. Been watching your tweets and following your links – that’s how I heard about this project. Best of luck with it.

“in a sleek Twitter-esque design for east reading”
I can only read this in the East?
Heh, just giving you a hard time. On a more serious note, looking forward to seeing what this blog has to offer. This post makes me very optimistic…
Loren Baker Reply:
February 11th, 2009 at 2:50 am
Yes, only in the East. Typo fixed my man. Stay safe with the brush fires.
On a totally unrelated note, you have just proven to me that CommentLuv actually serves a purpose. You might notice the similarity between the post showing up after my comment and the post showing up after Ken Jones’ comment. Yes, I followed his link and thoroughly enjoyed his post…and now I am back here leaving another comment.

Loren Baker Reply:

Yes, very true. CommentLuv leads to more depth and following links from good well thought comments, which means that actually commenting on blogs read by bloggers can drive traffic and links to your own blog, if one of those bloggers blogs about what they found linked from your comment.
Whew!
Gotta love it!
Alysson Reply:
February 11th, 2009 at 2:59 am
I have had CommentLuv installed on my blog for months now – and for that very reason! I think it not only rewards people for taking the time to comment on my blog posts, but also gives them incentive to leave better comments and give people more reason to click on the link to their latest blog post. It’s a win-win for everyone!
Muse on you two, muse on. Quick question; How may comments could a comment spammer spam if a comment spammer could spam comments?

Executed like a true pro.
Way to create buzz!
Now that is going to be one hell of a blogroll.
as long as all your posts create this sort of response, the comments should extend the page beyond the length of the blogroll….maybe. Exciting watching this snowball.

Congrats on the new blog Loren. It might be a little challenging to post a new tip everyday after certain amount of time but its definitely a great effort. Added DST to my Google reader.
Sent a twit with a small tip on SEO @lorenbaker – couldn’t elaborate due to character limits
* also the drop down that says “Choose a different post o show” is probably not working properly. The dropdown doesn’t lists posts from the commentors blog but from DST.
