Why I Don't Update This Blog That Often

If you've been blogging for awhile you've probably seen me around the traps as I'm a pretty avid commentator on other blogs. This is because I know how important it is to socialize with others who are in the same game. Apart from getting my brand out there and the obvious backlinks it also brings traffic to my blogs. Naturally this only works if you leave quality comments.

The main reason I don't write on this blog that often is because I have 9 other self hosted blogs which keep me pretty busy. I decided to host my own blogs because it gave me complete control and I just felt I could write what I wanted when I wanted without fear of someone kicking me off because they didn't like what I wrote, which has happened to other bloggers I've come across.

Another reason I've found for hosting my own blogs is that it's easier for SEO purposes especially as WordPress has so many plugins aimed at helping you improve your SEO. Then of course there is the money side of it. Once I found that advertisers weren't interested in free blogs such as Blogger it really didn't leave me much choice.

Still I should write a post every now and again linking to my other blogs, and even to my Squidoo lens, like this post I did on How To Create A Quality List. If you haven't created your own Squidoo Lens you could be missing out on a few extra bucks.

If you're thinking of starting a list and don't want to pay for one then you should read this post on Why I Chose MailChimp Over Aweber. One final thing, and that is for those of you who're are married and looking for ways to spice up your sex life, you may find this Sexual Aids blog of some help.

Reviews As An SEO Tactic

It's fairly obvious why advertisers are willing to pay bloggers to write posts about their sites. Sure they may expect a bit of extra traffic that may be generated by the blogs but I don't believe this is the real reason.

The real reason is can be summed up in one word. Google! I believe it's all to do with gaining the best search engine position possible. After all this is where the real traffic will come from. Why else do they ask posters to use specific keywords and many advertisers offer the same task with different keywords.

Knowing that this may well be true, you would think that many bloggers would be willing to swap reviews as a form of link swapping. Sure you won't get the prized one way links but then it's a free service that is being offered and one that all bloggers should make use of. It's better than having a huge blogroll and also come in handy for using them as filler posts between paid posts. I have been doing reviews for awhile ans have noticed a marked increase in my Technorati ranking as well as a greater number of visitors. As an SEO tactic, it's one I recommend to all bloggers.

Blog Reviews Definitely The Way To Go

I have been using blog reviews as a way of increasing BlogSire rankings for awhile now with great success. It's a wonder more bloggers are not using this method to increase their rankins as well. Not only will it boost your rankings you also generate visits from people visiting other blogs and the more visits you get the more chances of increased revenue.

I've now decided to use this method with this blog, so if you are a blogger and you want a better PR and more exposure do a review on this blog and leave a comment with the link so that I can return the favour.

Cyber Tagging A SEO Tactic

I was introduced to a game of Cyber Tag by another blogger in which you tag three bloggers inviting them to swap links with your blog. You can see how it works on my BlogSire blog. I saw the merit in this sort of venture so I joined in the fun. Wouldn't the next day I had three more bloggers linking to my site. All in all I would say it worked pretty damn well. We shall see how more bloggers join the band wagon.
