Looks like Google got around to updating their pagerank again, and my blog’s pagerank has increased from a 4 to a 5 which is pretty cool considering the gap from getting a 4 to a 5 is a heck of a lot larger than having a pagerank of 2 and moving it up to a 3.

I knew my link building campaigns would help my pagerank, but considering my blog isn’t even 6 months old yet I didn’t expect to get a PR5 so soon.

The overdue blog update

As many of you have noticed, I have only had two blog posts in the last 11 days, one of which was a guest post. I wanted to make a quick blog post to let everyone know why I have slowed down my blogging schedule.

  1. I have been spending a ton of time learning affiliate marketing with NeverBlue Ads.
  2. I am auditioning for the Top Affiliate Challenge (Detailed post coming soon, for now, vote me a 10!).
  3. One of my new startup websites is nearing completion (I will write a detailed post letting all my readers get a first hand look before the site goes public).

You’ve probably heard of Search Engine Optimization hundreds of time. But bloggers these days are looking at more efficient ways to drive traffic instantly. The answer resides in Social Media Optimization.

There are numerous social media sites on the Internet. Some are specialized in news feeding, others in bookmarking, but the main point is, they are tools you can use to promote quality content published on your blog. Now, I cannot stress how important this last sentence is. Promoting every single post that comes out of your blog may put you in trouble. You will be seen as a spammer, and users will simply ignore you. But if used wisely, social media sites can really boost your traffic and give you high, very high visibility.

Link Building with Blurtit

As of late, I have been finding ways to build links with Yahoo Answers clones, and I have found another one that provides dofollow anchor text backlinks. The site is called Blurtit. Since the site is basically the same as link building with Yedda, I don’t believe I need to add any step by step instructions. Answer a question, include your link, and then repeat!

For the visual learners, here is my example link.

This is part 29 of my series called the link building cookbook that aims to be the ultimate untapped link building resource on the web.

Neverblue Ads

I have just signed up with the NeverBlue Ads Affiliate Network.

“Always keep learning, because if you ever stop there will always be someone who is better than you somewhere else in the world.”

This is one of my best quotes, because it is my motto for making money online.

I make a good deal of money online with viral marketing, search engine optimization, link building, as well as cool startup websites, however if I don’t stop and learn affiliate marketing I will be leaving money on the table.

Link Building with Yedda

Yedda is another site that lets users ask questions about any topic they like. Other users of the site then answer the question and the best answer is voted on by the community.

With a little planning, you can get automated emails for when a question is asked that relates to your keywords, and then you can answer the question and build links from it.

For example, I subscribed to the keyword ‘online dating’, and received an email with someone asking “how do I get a girlfriend,” through which I answered, “try joining a free online dating service” and linked that to Datepad.com. (Source)
