I’ve finally caught up, i never expected to reach 70 sites, but here they are. Thanks to everyone who commented.

The number one question for a new blogger is, how is my site doing? When you first start though you may not have realized it, it will take weeks probably months before you will have a steady traffic base and be able to start making money. So you pass the time by watching statcounter or anaylitics, and keep clicking on the refresh button. Well now I am going to suggest several more ways to pass the time.

One,

This guy named Dane Carlson created this little html thingy, sponsered by technorati. And you just type in your blog address, and it will give you a guess about how much your site is worth. Now don’t get your hopes up, it’s not realistic. But hey, everybody likes knowing that according to this site their blog is worth thousands of dollars. Here’s the link.

Two,

Here’s a similar program but that is more extensive. It’s called dnscoop. It also shows, links to your site which is very fun to check up on. Everybody wants to see if anyone has linked to their site. Two links are nice, but if they do it with no reward, lol it just feels good.

Three,

Go onto google and type in the web address of your site without the .com. Like for this site I would type in, mastersofseo and then press enter. It shows all the sites that you have done something on, and also those that have linked to you.

 Fourth,

This site. It also shows an estimated worth, and the links, and the google ranking.

Fifth,

The last one, is Alexa ranking. This is similar to google, if you comparing a mosquito to an elephant. But many people do use it, and the ranking is more fun to follow cause your constantly moving up and down.

So there you go, hopefully these will help pass the time till you have a consistent reader list.

I am creating a new page on this site, that will explain the SEO language. Please comment below on any terms that either you don’t understand now, or didn’t understand when you started. Things like, SEO, RSS, PR… That sort of thing.

I know that I spent the first couple weeks of my blogging experiance, learning these terms and how to use them. With this new page you can just click the term you don’t understand. And it will give you a simple explanation. So please comment below with these terms.

Thanks!

Building quality one-way links is a key in good search engine rankings. One great way to do this is to comment on blogs. When doing this, there are a couple of ‘do’s’ and ‘dont’s’ that I would like to point out, and I’ll walk through some steps to finding blogs, and what types of blogs you should comment on. 

The best blogs you can comment on are high PR (definition of PR) blogs that are relevant to your website. You can go with low PR blogs that are relevant to your site, or high PR blogs that are not relevant to your site. Neither of those are as good, but both will work.

So how do you find a high-ranking blog that’s relevant to your site? Simple answer: Google. Just search for some term that’s relevant to your site, and tack on ‘blog’ at the end. For starters, you probably want to do at least ten blogs (you can always go back and do more later). If no blogs seem to show up under your search term, you can either try a different term, or go to a good blog directory and look around in there. Be resourceful.

So you’ve found a good blog that seems to be legitimate, and has good posts. Just comment on a post with a link back to your blog? Bad idea. What you don’t want to do is spam. Spamming is bad, and anyone trying to do anything legitimate should stay away from spam. Don’t put unrelevant material where it doesn’t belong, because it annoys people, and they will ignore it. What you want to do is read the post. I know, it takes time, but you don’t have to read it thouroughly. Just skim it, and find something that you can comment on. For example: "I liked that post. X point was quite interesting," or something of the sort. Then just leave a hypertext link back to your blog. Make it as if the link was your name, or your signature. If the site doesn’t allow html, then just post your url with the "http://".

If you don’t have the time to read the post, or if you’re in a hurry, then you can always say ‘nice post’ and then sign it with your site. But you’re more likely to be considered a spammer, and the blog owner may delete your comment. It’s up to you.

A good way to build authority and search engine rankings for your site is through article directories. They usually don’t generate a lot of traffic, but they do provide quality one-way links back to your site, and there’s always the possibility of the articles becoming popular and generating direct traffic. The two biggest directories are www.goarticles.com and www.ezinearticles.com. These are the best in terms of quality and what they allow, but there are hundreds of others to choos from. If you’re interested, you can check out this list of about 2200.

So what are the benefits, and what do you have to do? First of all, Don’t submit any article that aren’t quality. You don’t want your name on something that isn’t good work.  Another thing you DON’T want to do is submit duplicate content, especially stuff you haven’t written. This is bad for your article, and just bad all-around. So don’t just copy other’s material. One useful technique that I’ve found and utilized when I don’t have the time or I don’t want to take the effort to write an article from scratch is this: Find an article that looks good, read it over and make sure it has some good content. Then you cut and paste the article into Google Translator, and translate it into German (you don’t have to do German, I’ve just made a habit of using it because I’ve found it goes back into English smoothest). Once you’ve got it in German, copy it again, and translate it back to English. Go through the article and clean it up, because translator doesn’t always do a great job of going into smooth English. 

Make sure that in all your articles you link back to your site, preferably with a hypertext link. If the article site doesn’t accept HTML, then just paste in your URL. This will ensure you get at the least a quality one-way link back to your site. And as any competent Internet Marketer knows, quality one way links are what paves the road to number one Google listings.
