Reciprocal linking is without doubt one of the most disputed subjects in the SEO community. The reason for this is because they simultaneously can greatly contribute to your link network and also damage it pretty seriously.

One thing is certain though, Google is getting better by the semester in finding and demoting low quality link exchanges to zero and even negative values.

Search engines have not declared war to link reciprocation but rather to the unnatural linking patterns meant solely to increase the number of links and consequently, enhance rankings.  Read more... (584 words, estimated 2:20 mins reading time)

If you loved and took advantage of the KeywordLuv plugin then you are going to love my next install or should I say installs.

KeywordLuv allowed you to enter a keyword/keyphrase in place of your name as a linkback to your site. Granted there was a period of “No Follow” policy in place fora time, but this was lifted giving you more benefits.

On the 17th April I did a post on building backlink by commenting on blogs which I have revisited as well as take a look at what others are saying about the topic.

In my previous post we looked at the 3 Simple Steps To Start A Money Making Blog (In a serious entitle “Dreams are realised by Taking action, the right action!) I mentioned that you will need to promote your blog in order to realise your dreams.

Lets face it, no matter how awesome your blog is or how valuable your content is, if you don’t promote there will be no one reading it. And if you have no traffic coming to your blog then you are going no where FAST!. Even if you only get 10 to 100 people per day visit your site, you might as well give up now.  Read more...

• Article Topic – Keeping with the theme of your blog, chose a subject you write about on a regular basis and is/or you consider it to be pivotal topic to your blog’s content.  Keep in mind that it has to be  something your readers and the general surfer would find useful.
