There is a unique difference between optimizing your website and optimizing your blog. With blogs, you constantly add pages with each post you publish and you definitely need to get a page 1 ranking for the said pages. There are several techniques that will enable you to do this:
Directories ? register at free and paid directions to get a good mixture of both. Free directories will allow you to register your main site but none of the post page. Meanwhile, the paid directories will usually allow their members to enter their post page.
Forums ? this is a great place to get one way links and traffic quickly and easily. Put the link on your signature but never spam the forum because it will just irritate the other members; your posts might even be deleted. Also, Make sure you contribute to the discussion so that people will trust you and they will be enticed to click on your link to read more of what you have to say.
Social bookmarking sites ? some experts say that social bookmarking sites are the fastest method to get links. Submit a post to the social networking sites and the new blog can be immediately indexed within the next 24-48 hours.
- Register with Onlywire or Social Marker
- If you use Firefox or Netscape, put the links in your toolbar or favorites
- Every time you make a post, click on the Onlywire or Social Marker buttons
- Add a description and the tags
- Post this to all social networking sites
Blog comments ? the theory behind this is basically the same as that of the forum posts. You need to contribute to the conversation; don’t expect that the administrator will always allow you to post your link though.
Link Exchanges ? everyone knows that this is a great technique to get traffic for your blog. There are two ways to get links.
- Blogroll exchanges ? probably the best option because it will bring in a large amount of traffic if used properly
- Regular link exchanges ? in my experience, people are usually more willing to exchange links compared to e-business sites. You can automate the process by using LinksManager.com
Running a social bookmarking submission service (SocialBookmarkSubmission.com) I can say that social bookmarking is one of the best ways to get backlinks, reach a targeted audience & it also doubles up as great linkbait.
3 way link exchange campaigns are also highly effective & under-rated. The key here is to have the link appear within the content as opposed to a FFA links page with hundreds or thousands of unrelated links.
I always thought social bookmarking can get you quick traffic but then that does not last long and then eventually it is all gone .I find link exchange is most effective of all the about you mentioned.
Yes, the links from social bookmark sites count seo-wise as well. Also, many social boomkark sites offer users individual rss feeds of their own bookmarks so if your submission is bookmarked, you get a link (and exposure) from any member’s site displaying the feed.
I have to agree with this. Social bookmarking is a popular link building trend. It not only works for backlinks but also provides traffic
