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. Consider that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not really your all round blog.
This is big news. Because this means that every blog post or page you write should expand your blogs authority status. So make absolutely sure it does. How?
Listed below are a couple of methods you can use now and incorporate into your blog training.
The first is one of the easiest ways to start establishing 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. A piece of cake. Go to Google search engine, and carry out a search using your keyword and exact operators.
If I was looking for blogs in the 'Panic Attacks' niche I would search for
panic attacks & "title="CommentLuv Enabled""
or rather
"Enable CommentLuv" + panic attacks
You should 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 publish. If you make this a habit you will quickly start to build your links and, hence, your authority rank.
The second cute trick that you could make use of in your blog training and that will also conserve you hours and hours of blog promotion effort is automating your social network notifications. Social networks allow you an chance to broadcast your posts to the entire world. Submitting your notifications one by one is not really feasible in the long term. Attempt this and I guarantee that sooner rather than later you will give up.
Anyway, right here are your step-by-step guidelines:
1. Get a no cost account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks using Options provided (this is the time absorbing bit)
3. Generate account on those networks that you are not a affiliate 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. Get API Key from ping.fm and attach it to the Options of your plugin using Settings -> PingPressFM
6. Click on "Triggers" and place 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 construct a page on your blog the plugin will give out a notification to ping.fm using 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 operates a treat and, once set up, will grow your popularity without thinking about it.
Every blogger should explore ways to automate the critical functions of a blog without compromising on the caliber of the actual posts. Using these simple approach into your
blog education will reap rewards in the long run and, best of all will allow you to focus on your content.
