[Hidden-tech] blog invisible

[Roman Victor]

Julie,

You need to advise your client to be patient. Everyone else is out there
trying to make similar impressions but only they have been out there a lot
longer than your client. Depending on the content and what other have
already put out in cyberspace it could take several months to a couple years
to build up any decent following. But if you build it well and keep refining
you message, you will eventually get through but there are some pitfalls to
avoid.

The biggest thing I could suggest that if you want to kick start your
visitor counts you can buy both a Google AdWords and a Yahoo Search Network
campaign. 

These are some resource:

If you want to put her blog under the microscope turn on Google Analytics.

Are Google Alerts set for "comprehensive" and "daily"?

Are the keywords in the Google Alerts too broad?  For example, if you do
a Google Alert for "real estate", Google is going to spider so much
content with those keywords that they aren't going to email you about
every one.

If you send me the blog's URL I could take a look.
