On Blogging & SEO-isms

When I first started to blog, I didn’t imagine that this is something that I will be able to keep on doing for several years, in my case more than three years now. A friend introduced me to the concept of “blogging”, and being a wannabe writer and a fan of new media, I readily jumped on the bandwagon. For a while, I merely wrote down a few lines of random thoughts here and there, posted lyrics and poems, without having any real grasp of what can I do with an online space like that. Back then, I’ve never heard of terms such as Lead Generation or search engine optimization (SEO). I didn’t even want to make it public so people who personally know me can read what I’m posting online.

For the first few months of creating this blog, I was enjoying writing about personal experiences and a lot of random introspections. “Meeting” other bloggers was also a big plus. It won’t be such an exaggeration to say that blogging had a therapeutic effect on me. At a time when I was trying to process a lot of things inside, writing them, though at times vaguely, made a whole lot of difference. But if someone asked me anything about CPA network then, I wouldn’t have a clue. 

Later on, I realized what other benefits blogging can give me. Thanks to some friends who pointed me to the right direction, I learned about the concept of Display Network and Internet marketing. How just by writing stuff I’m interested in and want to share with others, I can drive people to my site and to others’, and in the process be a part of a larger community of people who exchange ideas and information over the World Wide Web. It has been, and continue to be, a learning process and an amazing experience.
