Blog writing doesn’t come easy to me. My worst subject at school was English. I loved maths and the science subjects.
So writing a blog post is NOT a small quick job for me. But I put the effort in and come up with some good posts (well I think so!).
Now what really gets me annoyed is when someone (i.e. a content thief) comes along and takes a copy of your blog post and publishes the exact same post on their site and pretends it is theirs.
That…to me is theft.
In this little cracker I am suggesting you create a little mini-network via the facility of hub-pages.
A hub-page is a site where you can add a one-page piece of content i.e. a blog post and include anchor text backlinks to your blog.
Examples of hub-pages include:
Hub-pages are very highly ranked by the search engines and they provide your blog with quality backlinks.
Your mini hub-page network will be spread out over the web to help focus the search engines and visitors towards your blog.
It’s not money that makes the on-line world go round…it’s backlinks.
We all want more.
That is sort of true…to be more precise…
We all want more quality backlinks.
Why?
Because the more quality backlinks we have the…
…More Google loves our sites
…The higher our sites appear in the search engines.
Some methods of getting back links take a lot of work like guest posting, article directories and Hub Pages.
Don’t get me wrong I do all of these methods myself and recommend you do…they just take a little longer than this one…
It is important to understand Search Engine Optimization (SEO) because by getting it right you can drive natural traffic to your site.

‘Blogging’ has become more than just a craze online; with even more sophisticated and free systems being made available, everyone and their dog are giving it a try. Sadly enough, not all bloggers are successful. They are ignored by search engines, and very few readers find them. That is too bad because, quite often, the topics and writing style of these blogs is quite good.
Google, like any other search engine, values content relevance and quality the most when it comes to determining the page rank of the website.
Its ranking algorithms and crawlers are encrypted to ensure that the top rankings are given to only those sites that provide useful information to the browsers and continually update their content to provide the latest data on a subject.
In its quest to provide the best results to its users, Google is rather unforgiving when it stumbles across some black hat Search Engine Optimization techniques used by a few web masters to trick its ranking algorithms.
With links becoming more than just a way to get around the web, it is important to choose the right link partner.
While most webmasters set out with a dream of having a number of high quality inbound links from related sites that divert qualified click-through traffic to their site, thus boosting their search engine rankings, their idyllic notion about link building is shattered as soon as they kick start the exercise.
But the catch here is in selecting quality link partners.
Since this can be quite a task for new sites or novice web masters, quite a few of them seek professional assistance for this job.
There are various ways of getting back links to your website.
One of the most natural ways for getting back links is by focusing on the content of your site, ensuring that it is of high quality.
Plus, it is extremely important to update your blog content on a regular consistent basis and by providing breaking news or latest developments.
If your content is good, it will automatically draw visitors to your site making it popular. Once the word gets out about your site among the web masters community, you are bound to receive many inbound links.
Internet marketing or search engine marketing that we knew of in the late 1990’s, the time of ‘Internet Explosion’, has undergone a huge change in the last two decades.
Earlier, it mainly consisted of submitting one’s sites to a number of search engines and directories so that their indexing programs, more popularly known as “robots” or “spiders”, can crawl through all of the HTML code of a page and use their individual page ranking algorithms, which were highly confidential, to ascribe a ranking to the page.
This was a fairly simple method and effective too until the emergence of spammers.
