Domain Tasting Destroyed
Improve your Alexa rank
Now before this post results in thirty comments saying how inaccurate Alexa’s site popularity measurement is, I completely agree. The matter of the fact is that some advertising agencies still use Alexa to price how much you will earn for advertising on your blog. If you can improve your Alexa rank, it will mean that you will can more money. I will include a few free techniques as well as some cheap paid ones.
Synopsis:
If you are looking for really basic methods and a introduction to Alexa, check out DoshDosh’s guide. I am going to skip all of the basic stuff and provide a few easy methods to maximize your Alexa rank quickly.
Faster Google Crawl Rate
Let me start off saying that if you do not use Google Webmaster Tools, you should start trying it out. It is a great tool that shows you near-instant updates of backlinks to your posts, how often Google views your blog, as well as any errors that the Google bot finds.
Utilizing the tools will help you keep your blog search engine friendly and clean. Now for the point of this article, Google normally has a “normal” and a “slower” option for how often it will crawl your page. If you write at least a few times a week you should keep this at “normal,” but if you have a slow webhost or another reason that you do not want Google visiting a lot you can set it to slow.
Technorati Favorites Spam – Part 2
Well it looks like the Technorati favorites spammers that Darren and I posted about earlier have developed new ways to compete with the likes of Akismet…
Blog spammers have now made thousands of fake “proxy blogs” to be able to mass-friend one main blog to rank it in the most popular section on the Technorati homepage, ultimately sending the blogs lots of traffic and a few strong backlinks.
The Weekly Winner Contest
After sponsoring two contests earlier which yielded successful results, I am ready to run my own. Rather than running the occasional type of blog contest, I wanted to change things up a bit. I want to have a lot of winners rather than just one. I have developed a way to promote my blog while giving away money every week.
New theme released with advertising bargains
I have been busy updating my version of WordPress to the newest release (2.3.2), and doing a lot of finishing touches on my new blog theme. Everything is finally ready and published. The new theme allows for much easier reading (white background, black text), gets rid of the dominant orange color scheme, provides additional advertising methods, and features the best information prominently. The new theme also features the updated logo/brand for my blog.When I started my blog last November, I told myself not to start monetizing for at least 30 days. Well today, 73 days later I have officially opened up some bargain advertising deals on my blog.
