Link Building Campaign: Why Is It Important

link building campaign1Over the new few weeks, I shall be sharing my thoughts on my Link Building Campaign via a series of blog posts.

This is the first one and it simply outlines why a Link Building Campaign is important.

Some say, the Page Rank of your blog is the make or break factor for it.

They go on to say, the Page Rank or numeric value that Google assigns to a blog denotes its importance on the web and plays a deciding role in its visibility in the top search displays for the optimized keywords.

Are Your Blog Posts Indexed?

  • Verify our blog via Google’s Webmaster tools
  • Add numerous blog posts each week
  • Ping numerous directories
  • Add internal links

BUT…have you ever looked at the stats to see exactly what Google has indexed on your blog?

You may be surprised with the difference.

As of today, I have 342 different URL’s in my site map.

Master This Technique and Get More Blog Readers

storytellingWant more blog readers? Then let me take you back to your childhood…

Can you remember when you were a kid, and you used to like having stories read to you?

Even if you knew the book inside out, there was always something a bit magical about having someone read it out. Stories are one of the best bits about communication – we all like to hear them, and there’s a familiar structure about them which we automatically respond to, as we’ve been doing it for years.

Think about some of your favourite comedians.

5 Ways to Make a Better and More Well Visited Blog (or just 5 Ways to Increase Traffic)

no trafficThis is a guest post by ZK the blog consultant .

When you start a blog, you want traffic. Everybody likes traffic. If you have got traffic you will at some point be able to convert that traffic into money. Of course it will take time.

But don’t sit there and wait and hope that the traffic will just come, randomly.

You have to work to get the traffic, or at least to get the big amounts of traffic. You really don’t have to do that much to get traffic, you just need to do it every day, or at least as often as possible. That would give the best results.

Nickelback Rock StarSince the beginning of the year, I’ve been going to the gym 3 times a week. I must lose some weight!

I get there nice and early – 6.30am – just as the doors open.

You’d think I’d be alone or perhaps just a few of us…but I’m not.

There’s about 50 of us! Young and old.

All wanting to get fitter, leaner or more muscular.

At the weekend, I purchased a great CD to listen to while I’m sweating away on the running and rowing machines.
