Establishing 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 like you. Also remember that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not really your all round blog.
This is good news. Because this signifies 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 techniques you can use immediately and add to into your blog training.
The first is one of the simplest ways to begin 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 associated niche blogs that also have CommentLuv installed.
How do you locate a blog with this plugin. Easy as pie. Go to Google search engine, and carry out a search utilizing your keyword and specific operators.
If I was looking for blogs in the 'Panic Attacks' niche I would explore for
panic attacks & "title="CommentLuv Enabled""
rather
"Enable CommentLuv" + panic attacks
You ought to be able to discover loads of results for blogs in the panic attacks niche that have CommentLuv installed. Ideally you would make at a minimum 10 comments per blog post or page you publish. If you make this a habit you will soon start to build your links and, hence, your authority standing.
The second cute trick that you could utilize in your blog training and that will also save you hours and hours of blog promotion effort is automating your social network notifications. Social networks give you an chance to broadcast your posts to the planet. Submitting your notifications one by one is not actually 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 at no cost account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks utilizing Options provided (this is the time absorbing bit)
3. Create account on those networks that you are not a active member of yet, and attach 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 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 build a page on your blog the plugin will give 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, when set up, will grow your popularity without thinking about it.
Every blogger should investigate ways to automate the critical functions of a blog without compromising on the caliber of the actual posts. Incorporating these simple tactics into your blog education will produce rewards in the long run and, best of all will allow you to focus on your content.
