WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er

How would you like to take your blog from a Technorati rank 650,000 + to under 12,000 even if your blog is brand new? I know it might sounds like a rather incredible but this is exactly what I was able to accomplish when I have launched original Reciprocal Review Carousel.

In under 1 month my Technorati Authority jumped from 14 to over 300 and rank went through the roof. Why would you care? Because you have a chance to do same. Marco Righter just pinged me and offered to take part in re-birth of Viral Reciprocal Review, he adopted from my original concept.

Another Google Dance has passed and in a weird turn of events my blog is still left without [tag-tec]Page Rank[/tag-tec]. I find it annoying and quite detrimental to my blog development when Google decide to extend their holding pan “especially” for me.

All the page rank tools I used for prediction show my site as predicted with PR5 but its been there for a while and with over 8k incoming links (according to Google webmaster tools) I would except them to be true … so what gives?

Nothing boosts your blog popularity better then other blogs linking back to you. I know because I have participated (and still am) in Viralink exchange. Superb idea that boosted my rankings in Technorati in a matter of days.

Yep, here I go again and perhaps this time I will actually insult people but hey … I think this message is important.

Will your blog be considered a link farm by Google?

You might be surprised by the answer but it also might be too late. If you have participated in Viralink, Viral Tags, Viral Images etc., you might be running dangerously close to that definition. And instead of getting higher ranking – you might actually get penalized by SE. Now let me explain.

I participate in Viralink and still consider it a great way to build your [tag-tec]technorati[/tag-tec] popularity. But I have done it after careful consideration. From my days as webmaster I know that when you create a link building strategy you always build you link pages that they contain no more then 30 links per page. Many reputable sites will simply refuse to exchange links with you if their link is placed on page with more then that number of outgoing links. All this is done to avoid being penalized if search engines decide to label it as “link farm”, I highly suggest you look up the definition on Google.

Now, consider this: Viral tags and other strategies rely on interlinking the participating sites, over a hundred when matrix is full (now is the time you quickly glance over “link farm” definition). Add to that all other outgoing links on your blog to MyBloglog, technorati (if using tags), and other useful offsite services and what do you think your chances are of being marked as “link farm”? I’ll let you re-read the definition and answer it yourself.

But the part I have just described above is not the worst thing you can do. What I have seen recently is that some blogs (couple I have visited had a PR5 and higher) create ONE blog entry and on very same post they participate in Viralink, Viral Tags, Viral image. That can potentially turn into OVER 400 outgoing links just on that post page!

And now is the time for a kill! Do I think you should stop participating in these viral link exchanges? Absolutely not! I have personally participated in Viralink and I think it is a great way to increase your technorati rank and popularity. I have benefited tremendously from the idea and highly recommend you join me!

What to do to avoid penalties? Answer to this one is actually a lot simpler then you might think.

• If you participate in these viral exchanges – dedicate a separate post for each one of them!
• If your blog main page presents summary of the post and not full entry – make sure that the actual links that go with each system go AFTER “more” tag.
• If your blog displays a full post entry – I highly suggest you make sure that your front page does NOT display all these links. Split the post using “more” tag or separate posts entries that they are not shown on any one page together.

Is there any alternative? Yes, good old content text links or one-way links. If your blog popularity important to you and you don’t mind parting with $49, do what I did – purchase 5,000 one-way links coming from content sites while it is still available.

Links from quality sites determine your worth in terms of Search Engine popularity and relevancy. It is a well known fact that unless your site or blog gets some quality [tag-tec]backlinks[/tag-tec] – any popularity you might be gaining with each new post is short lived.

I have experienced it time and time again and the only way to stay ahead of the game is to get some quality sites link back to you consistently. And I’m not talking about link farms, links exchange sites or anything of the similar type. I’m talking about a New Concept – Viralink.

Read details and for possible participation.
