Welcome to my nightmare,
After having just now recovered... w/8 hours of sleep from a 72hr straight run at building my website/blog, I have a series of questions I was hoping to process. Truly, I hope this will bridge my confusion with my increasing knowledge of computing/publishing.
(Thus, I'm not sure if I am asking a question: or confirming what I "believe" is the answer.... LOL)
I am currently trying to upload a lot of content (my writing)- from thousands of writings strewn throughout notebooks, journals, and scrap books that I feel hold a great relevance for teaching success.
But I want to do it properly... having the "foresight" to index the content, and these efforts into a massive library of sort; beneficial to both my readers, and myself, today and especially in the future.
My problem is I am an aspiring writer who dreamt of seeking publishing one day in the traditional way; by submitting a manuscript to a publisher, etc....
Now, in all I've learned about the web and affiliate marketing in a short time, the realization is:
I need to be the writer, publisher, and the librarian of sort, and assemble it in a proffessional, yet proficient manner for future reference, and the long-term residual rewards the internet offers.
For starters, let's say I wrote an article entitled;"Marketing Strategy" for example, of which I have 5 Subtitles/chapters to this article.
Example:
Title: Marketing Stradegy
Sub-titles:
-Getting Started
-Time Management (like sleeping! lol)
-Goal Setting
-Balance
-Success(like not being a work-a-holic!)
Mind you, this is just for effect, and is the "article concept" I am trying to build, lay-out, post, link, share, and organize.
Let's say I am using a blog (for now) as my URL, and I have a RSS feed burned to that URL/Blog
Now...I want to create my "links" to my main title and it's subtitles, which is my first question...
Which should I use to "index" my article(s), the URL to my blog? or the RSS Feed URL?
***I'm under the impression the RSS feed works off of the sites URL (like my blog), so I am leaning towards indexing the blog as my URL, but fear when I learn more about "feed burning" - it might be easier to just index the feedburned URL, rather than transfer the feed later should I get my own domains/sites going, or betterstill abandon the blog.
Once I establish which would be the best way to "index" my content, and organize it....... should I then link the entire article as so...
Example:
For the Main Title:
<a href="http://exampleMyBlog_or_RSSfeed .com"Title=Keywords/tags Marketing Strategy">Link example:Marketing Strategy</a>
Whereas my article title is a "link" simply reading: Marketing Strategy (or at least I hope it will be!
Now, I actually tend to use my Word program to create the link(s), so ignore the HTML (although I'm hopeful I am starting to get it right)
My confusion is creating the sub-titles... as "individual links" as well for quick reference(s) later, kinda like individual chapters of a book.
I want to believe; the whole post/article should indexed and be "linked" like so:
Main Title:Marketing Strategy
<a href="To My URL/RSS.com"Title="tags/keywords here">Marketing Strategy</a>
Subtitle(s):
<a href="To My URL/RSS.com"Subtitle="tags/keywords here">Getting Started</a>
Obviously, this process repeating through my aforementioned Main Title and the (5) subtitles that follow.
Would this in fact enable my URL/RSS to begin my "library" for my future subscribers, as well as myself to quick index, reference, and obtain proper recorded "tracking" to this content?
In closing, I barely understand how the Feedburner RSS Bliget works, but I want to create a smooth user interface on my site(s) for both readers, and myself.
I added the Google search to my blog last night, and this feature ultimately triggered my concern for "how" I post my current, and future articles.
I apologize for the sheer length of this post, but I really feel this is the "key" to my success in any marketing/publishing platform. Clearly it is my desire to assemble a massive amount of content/writings, and as my site continues to grow, I simply want it "indexed" and done right.
Naturally, I am also concerned my current "affiliate network" will respect such efforts for a lasting relationship. My underlying fear now is they've already come to my blog, and probably had to wonder; Does this "Publisher" even have a clue?
I certainly don't want to lose my Advertisers/Merchants interest(s) in our newly formed relationship. I definitely am not interested in a blog that looks like a click-bank. (which I gotta wonder if mine currently does?)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Within the "daily grind" or goals I've set, time often does not permit me to scan the entire forum for similar posts, or I'd spend all day reading (as I often do) rather than writing and optimizing my site(s).
The good thing is for the trickle of traffic I have had (considering the lack of content) the majority of visitors last week did spent more than a 1/2 hour on my site, which leads me to believe there's hope I'll be building subscribers soon. So far, there's a trickle of return visitor's, and I am aiming to keep that as my main focus over time. Now that I've added the subscriber blidget, I feel obligated to keep a user friendly experience.
Since I just added the RSS feed and Google Search Bar last night, I really want my content to be ready when my subscribers start following my posts.
PLUS, I am "seeing" the internet differently.... and even my reference to the Google Search Bar should be linked if I write in an article, whereby it'll help others acquire these items, and tools. These are the things I never even noticed until last night, and how important growing the "little things" will be to my Content,SEO, and my site's future success.
Please, any feedback would be awesome!
I tried to post my blog address for feedback (not as a plug) but apparently I'm not allowed to do so yet. (Which in truth might be a good thing,)
I'll wait for that this time around, as it's still rough!
Thanks for reading, and any help you can afford me is appreciated.
