Well, i don’t think that no blogger has a rival in the real sense of the word, but let’s say in a positive way. You wonder how many sites a certain blogger has…
Well, if you want to have a 100% correct answer, then you can give up right now, because there is no way you can get a 100% certain… If you ask a blogger then it is most probable that he/she cant’ answer you with a right number.
But, there is a way, where you can have a number, that is no where near the right number.
Many of us, bloggers, read other blogs, and post on them. And in that blog we give our email adress, name and blog address.
Well, if the blog has dofollow links, then this is a good strategy to run. We write, readers see our name and link to our blog and then they just might visit us, specially one important reader named google bot.
This helps getting our blog indexed, and might help increase search rankings.
Till now this is good, but it can get better. How?
Finally, Alexa decided to finish with redirections.
Some bloggers speculated that by making every link from their blog to be redirect through alexa site would help lower the alexa rank. There was no proof that this really worked, but many bloggers insisted in using it.
But, in the past days, alexa made every redirect to give a 404 error code.
I tottaly agree with this. I dindn’t like when i visited a blog and noticed that it was using the alexa redirect. Put your self on the eyes of a potential advertiser. You visit a blog, and see that it as a good alexa rank, but then you find it is using the famous redirect! What would you think? How fake is the rank?
Lately, the advertising opportunities available to me on Smorty, require that the blog does not have any Ad or review from payperpost.
As you may know google was on a penalizing spree to bloggers that used services such as text link ads or payperpost. This made a market change.
Text link ads is trying to hide as much as it can from google bot, and payperpost created Real Rank. PayperPost still require a disclosure of some sort, such a badge or a small text selling this post was sponsored by… Smorty advertisers want to keep their google ranks in good grace and don’t want nothing to do with payperpost.
A few days ago i stumbled with an interesting site called Focial.com
This site is an auction site specialized in selling advertinsing for your blogs (but not only that!). If you know ebay, than all that was said about ebay its in focial.com except focial.com is a niche auction site.
What can you do there:
