SEO Tips for Bloggers: Brilliant Blog Linking Strategy Part 1
Posted on 12. May, 2010 by brilliantjeni in Blogging Tips, Traffic Generation, Tutorials
I made so much money blogging this month, I was smiling like this too!
In my last post, I covered my “Blogging Keyword Strategy.” If you missed it, here’s a quick overview, but understand that to get the most from my backlinking strategy, you really need to read the full article and have already implemented the described keyword strategy.
Keyword Strategy Overview:
- Create a list of related keywords to target using Micro Niche Finder (aff link)
- Create a category for each keyword
- Create a tag for each keyword
- Write a pillar article for each keyword, using it as the title (no variations)
- Write supporting articles for each keyword (keyword used with variations)
- Link the supporting articles to the pillar articles using a plugin such as KB Linker
The next step: Backlinking for Bloggers.
One of the first things bloggers learn when starting out, is to get backlinks by commenting on other people’s blogs. Particularly with the help of plugins like Commenluv, this is an extremely effective approach with a bonus of being a great way to meet fellow bloggers. Since I know you all know this already, I won’t go into detail about it, and instead will focus on more advanced tactics.
Backlinking Tactic #1: Create your own link love using Twitter
Since every Blogger on the planet uses Twitter (and if you’re not, oi- START NOW) we’ll start here. Twitter is an easy, almost overly useful SEO opportunity. First, start by adding the Twitter Tools plugin by Alex King. Don’t use the tiny url co-plugin that now comes with this. We don’t want to tinyurl the tweets and hide the keywords we’ve so carefully used to name our blog posts. Alex has done a great job simplifying this setup, so just make sure yours is set to automatically tweet blog posts when they are published.
Once you’ve tested and are sure blog posts are showing on your specified Twitter account…
- Set up a facebook account where you’d like your posts to show. I opt to keep my blog posts on a specified fan or business page rather than on my personal fb page but this really depends on your own needs. Using a twitter app (I use Smart Twitter) link your fb and twitter accounts. Remember to test and make sure your tweeted blog posts are showing when you hit that magic publish button.
- Set up a Yahoo profile page (also, personal or one specifically for your site if appropriate.) Link your twitter account here so your twitter feed shows in the profile.
- Do this for as many sites as you would like. The more the better. FriendFeed is the most popular for this. Last I heard, FriendFeed was still “no follow” but we don’t care about that since the url’s will be showing “non tiny” and [BLOGGING TIP:] Google reads urls. (Google is so clever.)
I’ll list more of these sites at the bottom of this post, but feel free to share more in your comments.
For sites that don’t offer an automated Twitter-connect, grab your Twitter RSS and feed that to pages. Many will offer an easy option to add your RSS url. For those that don’t, if they happen to allow html, add your feed using a snippet that displays your RSS. For example, I use autoblogger (aff link) to publish one of a feed from my forums to a separate blog I also own. Not only does this drive traffic to the ad-monetized forums, but the feed pages actually rank higher than the forum pages because of the added SEO features wordpress offers. This works great for RSS exchange too; if you’ve got a blogging buddy with a similar site, you can use autoblogger to post to a specific category on their blog, automatically giving you backlinks for every post you publish and vice versa.
There are dozens of other ways to utilize this tactic but you get the idea. As you can see, using feeds and aggregators can really cut back your efforts of having to go around and place a link on sites individually. Ultimately, you can set this up so you are getting hundreds of keyword rich backlinks for every post you publish, and without an ounce of extra work. Here’s to blogging smarter, and not harder.

Try this on any of the following: Facebook, Yahoo, MySpace, WordPress, LiveJournal, Blogger, FeedBurner (duh, right?) blogger (you can actually do this from just about any hosted blog site), Friendster, LinkedIn, bebo, hi5, msn live…

Twitter can be really useful for your businesses. It is very easy to use and can easily give you access to your targeted market. Thanks for the additional knowledge.
One of the most important tips for search engine optimization is to get inbound links. This is for the reason that the more inbound links you will have from other popular site to your website, the easier it will become for you to get better ranking from search engines. For this reason, you must strive to get as many of these as possible. It gives credibility to your site and helps you to improve your ranking on the search engines.

I do not get the point for this strategy. I mean it gives great exposure but since most of these platforms as Facebook and Twitter are no follow. I have heard somewhere else that Twitter links are in someway taken into account by Google. But this works when the link is posted at multiple users not just one. Same for Facebook.
The keyword research can be done without micro niche finder. It is even better if you register in adwords because instead getting 100 results of keywords you can get up to 800.

If anyone else has an idea about this let me know. Susan

That certainly helps a lot of bloggers to build backlinks on their own, especially for those that are really looking for free tips to apply SEO strategies on their blogs.
This can also be applicable in a larger scale, if you have network of blogs, you just have to hire someone to do this since implementing these techniques to build backlinks take much time if you’re going to do it alone.

I simply do not see why people are writing comments which are definitely not associated to the topic being discussed. I think this really is a factor that we will need to avoid.
Thank you for that smart critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We received a excellent book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information and facts. I am pretty glad to see these information which I was searching for a lengthy time.
I think other website proprietors should take this web site as an example, very clean and excellent user genial layout. “Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.” by Jerry Seinfeld.
