Adding Traffic To Your Blog using Technorati - Part 2

Mark Your Posts

Technorati classifies its blog postings by assigning tags to each one. For instance, all posts related to the keyword phrase ‘attention’ can be viewed at technorati.com/tags/attention. Technorati has its own special language code for tagging posts. If you have WordPress, several plug-ins that create Technorati tags are available. However, you probably shouldn’t display the tags right on your website, since it offers the reader a chance to become distracted and wander away from your site. Technorati’s content comes from your RSS feed, so it’s really only imperative that the tags are found there. Try AutoMeta for a quality WordPress plug-in. Read more

Build Links with Blog Comments

Relevance and Link Popularity are two main things we take into account when building links to our website. This means that we are looking for web pages that are relevant to the theme of our site and have high link popularity. Where is the best place to find those pages? Social Networks.

You can visit most popular bookmark sites, for example digg, and use their search to find what you want. You can enter the keywords like “link building” and the search will show you a lot of blogs related to your keywords. Then sort the blogs by the most diggs.

Webwise: 5 Simple Blogging Tips To Help You Make Friends And Influence People

I’ve heard a lot of people talking about blogging and the suggestion that it’s the true emancipation of the decimation of information.

While that might sound like a lyric from a 80’s protest rap song, it’s certainly one of the principle benefits of blogging.

With an opinion and a blog, someone can publicize their thoughts in a truly democratized way: if someone disagrees with you, they’ll tell you as much. Thus, my blog exists as a means for me to store my opinions and allow those like-minded to read and comment.

But there’s a flip-side to all of this, and it’s a dark one. What if your blog is never seen?

Rather than creating an immediate forum for one’s own opinions / rants / rambles / insights et cetera, the Internet can simply become an even larger room to be stood in the corner of feeling even more alone. Read more

Support Your Fellow Blogger?

What motivates you to support a fellow blogger?  It doesn’t matter how large or small the good deed is…perhaps a few thoughtful comments, social bookmarkings, or helping out with coding errors and what-not.  Do you have any expectations for a reciprocal favor?

The reason I’m asking is because I read a few blog posts pertaining to methods for gaining support in the blogosphere. There was specific advice like: Only comment on smaller blogs because the big and popular blogs don’t appreciate it .  But then there are more general perspectives such as: A selfless act of kindness will go a long way. And in contrast, you shouldn’t do anything for free because it cripples people into laziness and into thinking your services are less valuable than if it was paid for.   While all these opinions do have merit, I believe in keeping a well-rounded view of why it’s good to lend a helping hand when you can.
