Mark Kingsdorf — The Wedding Ghost Blogger
Welcome to Episode #1 of The Wedding Network Podcast
We all know how effective blogging can be for your business. Organic traffic, content to share, and authority in your industry, however, while we know it’s needed, finding the time can be challenging if it’s not planned for.
A great example of your blog working for you years later — let me introduce you to Mark Kingsdorf. As a Master Wedding Planner, Mark was the founder of ‘The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants” in Philadelphia, PA.
Getting started, there was little of a marketing budget and Mark was tech-savvy enough to see the value of starting a blog. With his attention to some SEO details (listen in to learn his tricks!), that blog is still pulling page 1 & 2 on Google Search Results even after having moved on.

Having Mark in your back pocket writing away would be great! And we know there are folks who either need to learn or want to learn and in which case we have some tips! Here are 2 of 6 actionable tips Mark covered in the podcast you can look to implement today!
- Turn off the date function on your blog. If you are writing content that will be relevant about your business for the coming year or more, it can remain a great reference to link to and folks don’t have to know what date it was published.
- Blog tags — they are great but don’t display them on your site. By displaying them, you are giving great information to your competition about what keywords you researched or are focusing on.
After this episode, you’ll be more apt to jump back into blogging armed with some new information and tips to keep you on track.
