Trouble finding content for your blog? Heres an idea: Make your blog into an answerblog

This is a new "trend" that I am seeing amongst some of the blogs I follow: People have started reading their keyword logs and begun answering the questions that their visitors obvisouly have.

Mind you, some of the questions that end up in my logs I am sure most people would leave unanswered. I thought I would give some examples, but there are just too many sensible searches to find the real bizare ones right now.

So lets take a look at a couple of sensible searches that I could probably answer on my own blog:

setting up a wireless network
how to read newsgroups
where to get gmail invitation

Anders is there already with his own answerblog secion. And he is getting visitors from the search engines, as well as a little money from Google ads for his efforts.

Take a look, he might even have answered some questions you haven't gotten around to Google yet ;-)

Search Engine Optimization

Norwegian blogger Lasse Dahl recently wrote about search engine optimization. The article is insightful and full of good advice of what to do and not to do: - Søkemotoroptimalisering. Only problem: Its in Norwegian.

Arve Bersvendsen (another Norwegian) has taken the time to translate and expand on some of the advice in Lasses article. Its an article well worth taking a look at. Especially before spending any money on one of the zillion SEO companies out there. An "investment" that could soon become a great loss when your site is punished for search engine spam..
