Blog Linking

[edmc]

Just wondering how the hell I go about it.

Ok, so I add articles

do the ping think after each article

What do I do about linkbacks?

Do I post comments on other poker blogs or is that considered spamming?

Do I request other bloggers to link exchange?

Or is it just a case of build up the blog day by day & let people find it?

People aren't going to just start linking to your blog just because it's a blog. Blogs are just like any other type of website. The better your site is the more willing people will be to link to it.

I think PKing said it best in this thread.

You want to be successful in this industry?

It's pretty simple.

Pick a domain, and set up a site that is run by Wordpress (blog software).

Splash out a few bucks to have someone design a decent looking banner for the top of the page.

Incorporate banners from your favorite poker room into the site.

Spend an hour or two per day researching and writing unique, useful poker articles. Cover everything. Strategy tips. Recaps of tournaments. Interesting happenings in the world of online poker.

A funny thing will happen. People will start linking to your articles without you asking. People will Digg your articles. Traffic will increase on an almost daily basis.

One year and 365 articles later, you will have an absolute monster of a site that is most likely paying all of your bills. The key: UNIQUE, USEFUL CONTENT.

Thanks DB, I actually stumbled across your blog via the pokerbus. I was looking through other blogs to see what others are doing with blogs. My aim is to do about 10 articles a week & incorporate it into my website as I build pages. This is pretty much a new concept for me so Im slightly vague on the best way to approach it

You could also use some plugins to spread your blog to as many feeds as possible.

I recommend sociable - http://push.cx/sociable

Consider starting a blogroll (list of other blogs) to get noticed by other bloggers. If you use www.blogrolling.com, you can set up your blogroll and everyone you link to who also uses blogrolling.com will be able to see that you have linked to them and some of them will reciprocate.

BTW, I went ahead and added you to my blogroll. Would be much appreciative if you could do the same. www.evilbilly.com
