Lately I seem to be hitting on many blogs that give out SEO tips and they don’t even have a page rank or even follow their own tips which seems very odd to me. They are also telling me how to get search traffic and they use Entrecard. Entrecard has certainly helped my Alexa on this blog, but I’m not really sure why I should even care. It’s funny that I get totally all search traffic on my beauty school blog, which I should keep up with and it doesn’t even have a page rank.

It seems there is a huge audience for reciprocity information, but I got so tired of doing so much research that they could do themselves and answering the same questions over and over, it was getting ridiculous and repetitious. They didn’t even bother to search for the answers on my blog to the questions that I had already answered. Kind of like forums where people are too lazy to see if something has already been posted.

If anyone is looking for a niche I would suggest reciprocity if you have the patience I know it would be a smashing success, but I would also suggest that it be on one profession that you have experience with because other wise you would really wear yourself thin. I have so many different lists on that blog, like all the state board addresses and phone numbers, which states reciprocate or endorse each other, and all of the state board’s urls listed, and even what to do when moving from one state to another.

I notice in my stats that they all come from search traffic and only check the page they landed on without looking at any other resources I have provided for them. They are too fricking lazy to look for anything and simply ask the same question that was even answered in the comments left by others. I really need to go through and update a lot of the information provided because that blog could be making money, but it bores me now, maybe after the New Year, I’ll get a second wind and revamp it.

Funny I lost interest in that blog and I only add a new post once or twice a month now. If you do a search for Cosmetology reciprocity last time I checked I came up number’s 1 and 2 of about 117,000. There really should be more info out there. Every state board is different and they all try to keep their websites updated, but I simply don’t have the time right now to go through and check all the new changes every state makes on a continuing bases. I am not an expert on all those state laws and rules as mentioned before I don’t consider myself an expert on anything.

I also read on those SEO and blog tip blogs that your header should convey what your blog is about and was wondering what mine says about this blog. This blog is not about groceries or shopping, but it reminds me of  the old little family run stores which were so familiar to me growing up with a little of this and a little of that and made me very nostalgic when I saw it.  It reminds me of my mind, take from that what you will, but I love looking at it and it appeals to me.

Take care all you nice people that bother to read me and even those that don’t, I wish you abundance, good health, and peace of mind.

I had no idea that you had a cosmetology blog. You should definitely update it, and with ranking 1 & 2 for those keywords I’m sure you could make money with it.

You are so right about all those SEO blogs that don’t follow they’re own advice. I actually posted a question about a ridiculous post on one of these sites. Their answer was “I heard that this is something that increases ranking” obviously they used the term SEO expert very loosely.

Your comment about headers should convey what your blog is about made me think of some of the cards people have on EC, the pictures they use do not always have anything to do with what their blog is about. Tell me why is it that people think they need to use a picture of a woman either seductively posed or dressed really skimpy and showing cleavage. Seems to me they must only be trying to attract a male audience. I don’t know, I guess I’m just rambling here sorry :)

No problem Ann I run into the same thing thinking it might be about something I have an interest in and then see something totally opposite. I love my header and my card because I do ride a scooter, but that’s not all my blog is about, but it’s part of me. My header besides looking antique has nothing to do with anything except age.

How true! I unsubscribed from a few “so called” blogs that thought they could tell me how to make my blogs better. It was the same old stuff all the time.

What is the name of your cosmetology blog? Link?

You visited me there before Karen when I had it in entrecard, it’s called The Beauty Denominator. I simply lost interest in what I had started back in 07. The only visitors that visit there are beauty people looking for quick answers about their license, even though I tried to post about other things for a wider audience, it’s basically people looking for reciprocity answers without bothering to check directly with the state board for the best info, go figure.
