DPR Affiliate Marketing Blog

Archive for August, 2008

This is actually a new twist on something I have tried before. It’s a viral blog post, a good way to build backlinks and Technorati rank. But there is a diffence. The list does keep building. You do get a link back to your blog from anyone who picks up the list from you. But you also do the same with your choice of a favorite blog post from another blog. I like it.

*** Beginning of Great Blog Posts ***

Life is Colourful has started a great blog posts train, that would help to compile some of the best articles around the web giving due respect to the blog post author.

Rule 1: Write a short blurb on this unique idea of giving due respect to great blog posts you like from your favorite bloggers.

Rule 2: Copy the content from “Beginning of Great Blog Post” upto “End of Great Blog Post” and paste it in your blog post

Rule 3: The line you add should comprise of “your site name” likes “your favorite great blog post from other blog than yours”. For example: Life is Colourful likes Auto article on Difference between all wheel drive and four wheel drive

Rule 4: Your favorite blog post can be your own blog post or from another blog you like. The blog post should be worth reading and you imagine, other bloggers would laugh at your taste.

Rule 5: Make sure you contact the bloggers and insist they participate so they can keep this going.

Rule 6: Come back to the original post and comment or contact us, so we can add your line in our post increasing your backlinks and technorati authority.

Article Marketing has taken a lot of twists and turns over the last few years. I was marketing via articles before the term “Article Marketing” was used. It was a gold mine back then. Take one article, submit it to hundreds of sites and get links back to your own. Then repeat. There was much of an issue with duplicate content.

Now the landscape is a little different. Sending the same article to hundreds of different directories may not help that much. Once Google notices that they are all the same article, some of the pages containing these articles will be devalued. It won’t hurt you, but it won’t help you either. Your link won’t count.

This looks like the start of a great case study of a blog. I am going to stay tuned. And I suggest you do too. The first part is a great rundown on setting up your blog for traffic.

Entrecard Blog » Blog Archive » Startup Blog Project: Part 1

I am setting out to prove that using Entrecard, and only Entrecard, a blog can grow from nothing to very large, and generate a ton of search engine traffic, tons of social media traffic and of course tons of subscribers. So, I know what you’re all thinking and No, I am not going to take advantage of any administrative privileges I have with Entrecard. I’ll be dropping as usual, spending only credits I receive from dropping and advertising, and overall using the system like a normal blogger would.

Debt sucks. Debt sucks bad. I am in debt now, but it has been worth. I went through a phase almost a decade ago where I was so deep in debt, I didn’t care. I just looked for the next credit card application to come in the mail so I could fill it out. By the time that no one would give me any more credit, I owed over $35,000 and really had nothing to show for it.

My method of dealing with it. Stop paying. Move to another state. Wait 7 years. It works, but not having credit for that long sucks.
