Links Building with Article Marketing Strategies

February 15, 2010 | 24 Comments

I believe that every pro blogger is working on links building for their professional blog.  Links building is part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to bring a higher page rank for your professional blog. If you have many sites link to your blog, your blog crawls to higher rank in the search engine and your blog will receive more traffic.

Conventional Ways of Links Building

The conventional ways of links building that most bloggers do are:

Exchange Links. Exchange links with other blogs to generate two ways links. Of course, you favor popular blogs to exchange links with your blog but the owner of popular blog is often reluctant to exchange links with new bloggers. So, this is an obstacle for a newbie.

Submit Your Blog to Blog Directories. A good blog directory such as Technorati may take months to review your blog especially if your blog is new.  Other blog directories require you to put banners on your blog as an exchange link.

Leave Comments at Other Blogs. Choose popular blogs in your niche to leave comments. Be the first to leave a comment so others will see your comment. Give a constructive comment so others will appreciate your comment and they will be attracted to find your blog. You can leave your blog signature or hyperlink text inside the comment box as long as the hyperlink text is relevant and not spamming.

Using conventional ways of links building will make your professional blog is crowded with a long list of blogroll and plenty of banners. It also takes time to look for popular blogs and leave comments.

Pro Blogging Tips: How to Register Domain Names

February 1, 2010 | 17 Comments

It is better to register domain names separately from the web hosting company if you start pro blogging.

When I first built my website, I didn’t know how to register domain names. I relied on the web hosting provider to register domain names for my website. It happened to be more expensive than the market price. Often, the web hosting provider is not a domain registrar but they are only a reseller. So, there is a possibility they mark up the price for domain name registration. You don’t  even know where they register your domain name. Of course, having domain name registered with your web hosting provider free you from all the work.
