		<description>I am using free online resources like Squidoo, HubPages and other to mostly build back-links to my sites. Do not expect to get a lot of sales from free resources, however they are very helpful if you want to build eBay affiliate "store" (BANS or phpBay Pro) and keep it alife in Google.

		<description>This is a very systematic and clear approach. How about another post with the example of the "Bumble Bee" posts that would go on each site for some of us visual learners.
Thanks for a value added post

		<description>I'm not :-) And currently in process of testing ping.fm as one of the options. I don't think it is a spam since it is your own blogs, just on different platform. I agree that it might not be a 100% "white hat" method but time will tell...

		<description>Great article Alex.  I have a question though.  Are you against using something like pingPressFM to spam all of your link-building sites (i.e. Blogger, Live Journal, Tumblr, Twitter, etc.) after every new post for the sake of getting more inbound links?  Is there a reason why you only link from one of those sites on every new post?

		<description>I think this is a great idea. I have already started implementing it with my own blog. I do wonder about the amount of work required for multiple keywords.

		<description>I agree as well that this a very workable and effective strategy for driving traffic. I am using a strategy similar to this and it is working pretty well for me.

Mike has laid out a very workable traffic strategy in a concise and easy to follow manner and I would recommend this method to anyone trying to ramp up traffic to their blog or website.</description>

		<description>Andy,

Any strategy can be abused and taken to extreme. Yes, it takes time to create those extra pages but I still agree with Mike - it is well worth it in the end, especially when you are trying to rank for specific keyword. It was described once as "conversation domination" and it simply works. Where your pages are filling the first page of Google search results so anyone going to those pages will still end up where you want them to be ...

There is nothing blackhat about it and it is meant to create quality content on same keyword...

		<description>Alex,

clearly it is not blackhat to add 2 blogs like described. Only if you put it to the extreme which I have seen. People automatically generating 1000 websites...

My main point for me is more the lack of "power" for these sites in relation to the work to create and maintain them. From RSS-Feeds not too much is happening. And valuable fresh content is usually something for the "main page".

What I´m a friend of is to have "related" sites dedicated to special topics. So for example if you speak about "cheese" you could have a second site especially about "french cheese". These niche sites tend to rank very well in search engines  for their key words.</description>

		<description>Andy,

There is nothing black hat about it. Totally legit and it simply works. Weather you choose to use it or not is up to you .... but the method outlined by Mike in this post - works. Plain and simple.
