Commenting on Dofollow (Non-nofollow) Blogs
Filed Under blog comments, blogging, website traffic | 2 Comments
I’d like to talk a bit about posting comments on dofollow blogs as a backlink strategy, as well as how to find them versus nofollow blogs. Typically, I don’t do much of the "commenting on blogs for fun and backlinks" type of thing, as I usually prefer to repurpose my content for article marketing and Web 2.0 properties. But, I know that a lot of people have questions about it, and it does offer a way to get some good backlinks fairly quickly.
In case you’re not aware, nofollow links have ‘rel="nofollow"’ in the link code and do not pass Google PageRank. They are therefore seen to have less value than dofollow links for SEO purposes. The term dofollow was coined to indicate a non-nofollow link (in other words, the absence of the nofollow in the link code).

Did Eurekster Commit Swicki-cide?
Filed Under website traffic | Leave a Comment
If you’ve been using a Swicki from Eurekster, you may have noticed that they’ve been down recently. Are they dead? Speculation by some is that they may not come back up. I know that a number of webmasters were using them and some had claimed that it was working well for them and reported big traffic stats.
To be honest, I never really figured out the Swicki thing. I had been using one on one of my sites, and I noticed that I only saw traffic from it in my referrer stats when I had it on my site. Was it my site that was generating the traffic and then sending it to Eurekster, which was then sending it back to me? If so, then there was actually no additional traffic boost from it since my site was generating the traffic in the first place.

The LOL builder I’ve been using, primarily, is icanhascheezburger.

1. Bad Habit #1 - Failure to Launch
You know, this is the guy who says he’s an article marketer, but really isn’t. He’s going to write articles but never quite gets around to it. He comes up fragments of ideas with little snippets of one or two sentences, but never gets enough together to publish a full article. Is this you?
