b. Backlinks and your blog signature

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

It’s important to note that if each editor has a list of 10 keyword that the site wants more backlinks for each month, that they use the signature portion of their blog posts to accomplish this. Here’s an example using “Xbox 360 reviews”:

Sample Blog Signature

Vallery McNeish is chief editor

The name, “Vallery McNeish” can also be linked to her profile on the site if available or to the blog itself. (Of course each blog post links back to the blog itself via the title.)

a. Pinging

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Then each time you update your blog – written a new post – you’ll want to send a “ping” to directories that you have submitted your blog to. Just enter the blog name and url to one of the pinging services such as “pingomatic” or “pingler”:

http://pingomatic.com/

http://www.pingler.com/

http://www.pingoat.com/

Pinging your blog alerts directories that you have new content, updates that content on the directory and thus, gets it crawled by major search engines fast. A lot of directories and services will place your blog on top of the list of updated blogs, which will make it more visible to search engines and potential visitors as well.

(* More on pinging and a full list of ping services is included in the appendix.)
