Another Unexpected Site Outage At Prosper? →

Have Prosper or Personal Finance Blog with Prosper Posts? Let’s do a link exchange.

January 17th, 2007 | Prosper Days 2007, SEO 

I have been reading a lot about SEO lately.  It seems there are quite a few things you need to do in order to have Google think highly of your blog and send visitors.

1st and foremost is content: original, compelling, and on topic content.  While I just started my blog (December 06), I have been averaging 2 posts per day of content.  I don’t mean to toot my horn, but I hope you find it as interesting, compelling, and on topic as I do.  I have spent significant amount of time thinking about and working on posts. 

I had a minor reddit flood for my post comparing a CD Ladder to a Prosper.com portfolio. (1000 users 2000 page views.) Spent most of one day on the 3rd page. Use Prosper and get a 312% Increase over a CD Ladder for Your Emergency Fund.

I was asked to speak at a prosper days session in February: Third Party Application Showcase. This happened after I adjusted the prosper data dump to work with SQL Server 2000 and posted it on my blog.  (It only works with SQL Server 2005 by default.)

I promise to continuing posting to the blog and follow my prosper journey for at least 3 years.

Are you interested in a link exchange?  Add a link from your site’s main page to http://www.rateladder.com/.  Send me an email to kevin [at] rateladder [dot] com asking for a reciprocal link.  I am very responsive.  I am not sure if I am supposed to be picky or not, but please have a page rank (not zero) OR relevant content.

I am not an SEO expert, but if anyone out there is and has suggestions for me I would be interested.  I find the topic compelling.

Kevin - I enjoy your blog. I’m going through a bunch of your older posts now. You write well and have your finger on the pulse of the Prosper community. I’d certainly like to exchange links. I’m actually writing a post writing now that I’ll publish in the next day or two about rateladder and other Prosper blogs. Your highlighted.
