On Vineyard Church Webmaster we have been writing articles to help you get your own blog or website started.  Once you get a blog or website started, you will want to get as much traffic to your site as you can.  One of the ways this is accomplished by utilizing search engine optimization (SEO) techniques.  To demonstrate how SEO works we have started a new blog called Christian Fellowship (something that all you Vineyardites are very used to).

This will be a very interesting task because there are a lot of sites with Christian Fellowship in the title.  We are going to try and get our site to show up on page 1 of a Google search.  We will record the process and progress of the journey on this site.

As you start the SEO process there are three concepts that you need to know.  The search engines respond to time. content, and links.  Time will take care of itself.  Content will be taken care of by writing a consistent stream of useful articles.  Links are perhaps the hardest part of the three and we will be discussing how to get links in the articles ahead.  This series of articles should help you with the success of your own web ministries.
