I am pretty sure that you like to read such articles that give you ideas to increase backlinks for your new blog, specially few out of the way methods. My crazy mind sometimes think kind of out of box and try to see how you can take best benefit of the social bookmarking websites. Not necessarily everyone would agree to what I suggest here, but I don’t see any reason not to go for it.

Keep in mind, any quality dofollow link is good backlink for your blog – so don’t ever think that the page PR is high or low to begin with. Technorati.com is a PR8 website and dofollow backlink from any pages on this website would be a good credit in Google’s eyes.

First and foremost thing is you should register your blog with Technorati, and your blog page would be your first dofollow backlink. And there is your dofollow link, did not I assure one from Technorati?? What else you are looking for.. ha! I am kidding… actually there is more to come.

Easiest way to get dofollow backlinks from top Technorati pages

1. Technorati.com has a list of Top 100 blogs which comprises of highest authority and eventually high PR popular blogs like Huffinton post, Engadget, Official Google Blog, Gizmodo, BoingBoing

2. Each of these blogs have their own Technorati profile page which is at least PR6

3. Scroll down on this page for “blog reactions”, each blog linking to these top notch blogs must appear on this list. Remember when you link to these blogs, your blog post link appear would appear in this list as well.

4. You get a temporary PR6 backlink but more important is your blog get a permanent dofollow backlink from Technorati’s pages other than your own profile page.

What’s my logic behind considering this as good dofollow backlinking method:

The actual pages your blog link is on might not be high PR page, but remember that page itself is linked by high PR pages of Technorati, so it still matters considering the rule of Quality neighborhood.

While I was analysing my Google webmaster tool, I have observed that some of my blog posts have got many dofollow backlinks from various pages of Technorati and these are counted as dofollow backlinks for those post pages. This link analysis is done using Yoast’s SEO link analysis tool in Google webmaster tool. Follow this path in your webmaster tool login to find it out: Google Webmaster tool -> Links -> Pages with external links -> Click on the number in column “External links”.

Such backlinking does not link only to your homepage, but you get backlinks for your inner pages helping to get PR for inner pages too which eventually helps to increase your overall internal pages PR as you see on this blog.

If you are too bothered about (dofollow) linking to top blogs (you will be linking to some good blogs, so don’t worry) just to appear in their dofollow reactions list, you are not forced to give them dofollow backlink, did I say that? Technorati shall add your blog in the list no matter what kind of link it is. Though, it’s good to give dofollow but if you don’t want – don’t do it and enjoy one way backlinking.

I got a private message on a webmaster forum today asking for link exchange with a PR6 website with any PR4+ link exchange in return. You might be getting such requests through various means, so I would better bring this to your notice as well.

First of all, this request sounds fishy if someone is asking for such link exchange where they are expecting something lower than their level. Mostly, such people if ever ask for low PR websites, they ask for three way link exchange with backlink pointing to one of their other websites.

How would you find out whether the site is legitimate?

1. Check the backlinks of this website, there should be considerable number of backlinks to reach to such high PR. If it’s lower PR you get request from, be sure that there should be some number of quality backlinks before you decide to say yes.

2. Go to websites like digpagerank.com and just add this website in there to check the real Pagerank. If it’s good PR, it will be shown in Green, and if it’s fake PR, it will be in Red. For non-confirmed PR, it will show it in Orange, avoid linking to such PRs.

As simple as that! Short article but useful info to keep in mind!

Online world is very competitive now, same thing applies to blogging. Four years back when I started blogging, there were only few renowned bloggers around, and now I see many of them. Online visitors have got variety of choice in blogs to read through. They are not dependent on few of them for quality content.

The competition is tough now, and in efforts to establish yourself as blogger – you would need to build your authority online as a well-known blogger. Developing an unique and quality content is a default key in this process. There are some supporting activities that we should not ignore as those can help you to establish quicker. You are lucky if you come across those who are finding freelance writers like you and can popularize you or if you don’t come across, I can help you in there.

One of my online friends has started a website to find good freelance writers to provide them a platform establishing them as authors. Keep in mind, there is a thin line between a blogger and author. It’s a journey you have to take, that changes you from a blogger to author. Author is someone who has an authority, correct? Not every blogger around might have that authority! I am cent percent sure that you want to build that authority.

If you have that aspiration for yourself, what you write about is not a restriction. You shall strive for the quality in your articles in your favorite subjects, and those can be published in relevant categories on popular websites. Your content will get a platform that can promote your authorship online for no cost. As I start my new ventures in online business, I am inclined in informative business related writing to share my knowledge with others and also establish myself as business blogger.

Not necessarily, the subject you choose should be something very popular only, but you can focus on what is your favorite topic. That gives you an inbuilt authority to write quality articles due to your interest in that subject. To understand this better, you can check out this article written by one of the authors, Marius at edubook.com. The article talks about the latest Blackberry news that might be of the author’s own interest and the article appears in a flow. The topic if you see, you might think that even you can write about it. Exactly the same thing I want to emphasize on! You just needs to get motivated to bring out the writing instinct in you and use article publishing websites like edubook.com to get a free platform and build an authority as blogger.

When we discuss about displaying the ads or textlinks or even banners only on homepage (either on the page or sidebar), first thing comes to my mind is to state the difference between the blog and website because many of the visitors here are newbies.

Blog: A blog is a Web site with regular entries that are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blogs are dynamic form of web presence.

Website: Serveral webpages form a website that is almost always accessible via HTTP, a protocol that transfers information from the Web server to display in the user’s Web browser. Websites are static and the content on the website might not change as regularly as blogs.

Blogs are designed in a way that the content on homepage keeps changing and gets settled down in categories, archives and permanent pages dedicated to each post.

If the need arises that you need to display something only on homepage, and nowhere else in archives or post pages, not on navigavtion links or footer to make sure that the content like links or ads remain only on homepage, you cannot do it with the help of wordpress I believe as a default feature.

There are many advertisers that want their textlinks to be displayed on homepage *only* and some of them want it sitewide. It’s upto their plans and knowledge in SEO, it’s altogether a different ball game to discuss. But for now, your requirement to display the textlink only on homepage and how to do that.

I think this small piece of code below would help you to display the links at top, bottom or in sidebar of the blog. For example:

<?php if(is_home() && $post==$posts[0] && !is_paged()) { ?>
Best travel tips
<?php } ?>

And this shall work for you. Let me know how it works for you or if you find this tip useful.
