Starting your blog as an authority in your niche can be a difficult prospect. This is especially so if you are just starting out. The more authority you have the more people like Google will admire you. Remember that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not in actual fact your overall blog.
This is excellent news. Because this indicates that every blog post or page you write should increase your blogs authority status. So make absolutely sure it does. How?
Listed below are a couple of tactics you can use right now and add to into your
blog training.
The first is one of the easiest ways to commence building your authority. It is to build incoming links through commenting. If you use a plugin called CommentLuv on your blog you will be able to leave comments on allied niche blogs that also have CommentLuv installed.
How do you locate a blog with this plugin. Easy. Go to Google search engine, and do a search utilizing your keyword and specific operators.
If I was searching for blogs in the 'Panic Attacks' niche I would search for
panic attacks & "title="CommentLuv Enabled""
or
"Enable CommentLuv" + panic attacks
You ought to be able to retrieve plenty of results for blogs in the panic attacks niche that have CommentLuv installed. In theory you would make at least 10 comments per blog post or page you write. If you make this a habit you will soon start to build your links and, hence, your authority status.
The second tactic that you could apply in your blog training and that will also conserve you hours and hours of blog promotion work is automating your social network notifications. Social networks create you an chance to broadcast your posts to the world. Submitting your notifications one by one is not honestly feasible in the long term. Try this and I ensure that sooner rather than later you will give up.
Anyway, here are your step-by-step instructions:
1. Get a complimentary account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks utilizing Options provided (this is the time absorbing bit)
3. Generate account on those networks that you are not a active member of yet, and add them to the social network list for Posting
4. Install a brand new plugin PingPressFM using "Add New" option and activate it
5. Acquire API Key from ping.fm and append it to the Options of your plugin using Settings -> PingPressFM
6. Click on "Triggers" and set check for "Trigger Active" for each posting trigger you want to use.
7. Click "Update Options"
Bingo! That's all there is to it. Every moment you post or build a page on your blog the plugin will send a notification to ping.fm utilizing the triggers you have enabled on your blog which, in turn, will make automated posts to each social network you have added to your list.
This automated system functions a treat and, when set up, will grow your popularity without thinking about it.
Every blogger should explore ways to automate the important functions of a blog without compromising on the caliber of the actual posts. Using these simple techniques into your blog education will produce rewards in the long run and, best of all will allow you to concentrate on your content.
