It must be getting close to Christmas. Why else would my blog keep getting hit with Wii hunters?
Last November, I told my readers the story about how we got the Nintendo Wii in eight minutes. It’s true and I’m glad I wrote it down. Maybe I’ve even glad it’s on my blog because now I can use it as a case study in how blogs boost keywords with an ongoing afterlife.
Over a year – and 500+ readers -later, this post keeps turning up in search engines. Today’s top pick: #33/4,960,000 results for the keyword string “when to get in line wii.”
While most of the readers who come here for this post have little interest in marketing or PR, they do like to read a good story. And, they want to know how to get their own Wii game system so they can start making miis [check out this cool mii creator-editor].
For those who do want to know more about keywords, read on.
