The Ultimate Guide to Linkbaiting

Feb 06, 2007 2 Comments »

And Andy Hogan has compiled it on his Tropical SEO blog. In a post titled Linkbaiting explained I had talked about what it means, and one of the proceeding posts I had written I don’t pay much heed to the linkbaiting din. I think I should. It’s high time I started doing some work on this side of blog marketing.

Andy says:

Of course, it’s (linkbaiting) also the most cost- and time-efficient way of building relevant, trusted, editorially-given backlinks; it’s the critical success factor in getting ranked in Google for competitive keywords; and, it’s making smart SEOs a veritable boatload of money.

It’s true. When I was promoting my web designing business I used to promote my link by submitting free articles to various websites, although my targeting was wrong. I got tons of traffic, but not the kind of traffic I needed to run the business.

Incidentally you must have noticed a slowing of posts on my blog. That’s because (not at the moment, due to gross time-mismanagement) I too am thinking about focusing more on link-worthy quality and less on the quantity. Once I’m able to sort out my time-table I’ll try to strike a balance between quality and quantity.

Social Linking Via StumbleUpon

Feb 02, 2007 No Comments »

I have neither used linkbaiting nor social media bookmarking websites up till now simply because I’m not writing as regularly and as well as I would like to. I know, I know, I wouldn’t suggest you to have such an attitude, but I’m not in a great hurry to boost my traffic. I want it to increase on its on, gradually. To produce quality content I need some time, and time is something that right now I don’t have.

I Have Started Using the Flock Browser Now

Feb 02, 2007 4 Comments »

Since most of my work involves using a browser along with my word processor, I had begun to think there was some problem with my laptop. FireFox would constantly either hang or load websites and blogs very slowly.

Then I tried Opera and realized everything worked fine and the problem was with FireFox. I loved Opera for two days but sadly I’ve got tons of bookmarks in FireFox and I couldn’t import them to Opera. I had read about the Flock browser but never used it so I thought I should give it a try. It’s a neat browser. I could import all the bookmarks, but there is no Googlebar here. Doesn’t matter much though. It’s much faster than other browsers. It loads fast and it loads the web pages faster. It has an inbuilt blog editor but that needs lots improvement before you can seriously consider using it. Give it a try if you’re having troubles with FireFox.

Should Bloggers Write Commercial Content?

Feb 01, 2007 No Comments »

Scott Karp at Blog Herald ponders whether bloggers should write commercial content or not. I think this debate has gone on for a long time, and it got amplified with the launch of PayPerPost – the service pays bloggers for writing blogs for its advertisers.
