We currently have over 16,000 Facebook fans for our online bass guitar magazine and they eat the content up! I probably need to work harder on getting those fans to actually visit our main website. That’s probably where the bottleneck is occurring. I’ll check out the newsletter, thanks!

Hi Jonathan! Thanks for the question.

Our initial thought is that your money is probably best spent elsewhere. If you’re talking about distributing content on your site as articles to article directories, this could take the unique content from your site and turn it into duplicate content across the Web, and that’s never a good thing.

I don’t know if you have a social media plan yet, but if you’re looking to draw more people to the content you believe is relevant to them, first spend some time identifying where those people are in various social networks online. Join those groups, create a profile, start a community, share content.

The obvious networks are MySpace, Twitter or Facebook; but, since you have a niche business, perhaps there are additional music- or instrument-based social circles online.

If you have the extra resources to invest, social media marketing is a great way to spread the word. It’s typically free (unless you want to hire some help to get you going) and just takes time commitment.

Also, check out our May SEO Newsletter — we had an article on integrating social share buttons into your website. This is another way for people to share the content they find valuable on your site:

And today, I’ll be exploring the Facebook Like button on the blog as well, as a means to get the word out. Does that help at all?

I maintain a website (an online bass guitar magazine) that I believe has some great content, but the traffic is still a little low after nearly 4 years. It is very niche to say the least. I recently came across a blog post on “article submission” services. Should I be paying an article submission service to distribute the article to other relevant websites or is this a waste of money?

I heard that before. For site structure, I just don’t think Joomla is SEO Friendly but still I am able to optimize my site to top 10 ranking for hot keywords. Luckily, there are a lot of factors that affect search engine ranking. :)

Anyway, thanks for your help Jessica. I really learnt a lot from Bruceclay. :)

I personally have not used Joomla, but I asked one of our SEO analysts here and he said it can be difficult for SEO, but that he hadn’t used it in a couple years and many of the original developers have started new companies. He recommended Drupal or even WordPress as an easier alternative. Let me know if you have more questions. :)

Hi Kent,

I have Joomla sites that are ranking really well, and I never had a problem optimizing them. No reason for you to worry. :)
