Learning About Linking

March 15th, 2006

I’m starting to learn about linking. I want to increase the readership of my blog for starters. Having a local readership will help me help my New Orleans based customers, introducing them to you.

I’m going to start reading more of Esoos Bobnar, my blogger guide to the world of SEO.

What do I mean by blogger guide? I mean I’ve just chosen his one blog as the gateway to the world of SEO and click advertising. Why Esoos? Because he’s stopped by my blog and left some excellent insights, basically put me on to all this.

I’m reading about the Indie Virus, which I heard about at Esoos’ blog, in the comments, by a bogger named IrishWonder, who I’m also going to track. It can’t possibly be that simple.
There is a great deal to learn about building blog traffic. About the only trick that I’ve learned so far is to be, at times, gut-wrenchingly personal, and to post a mug shot with each article.

    No way, posting a pic of myself with every post would drive traffic away.

    Yeah, I want people to read my words, not the lines under my eyes.

    Hey Alan…
    Thanks for the kind comment on Hugh’s post about Untangled Life. It really made us smile. We’re completely clueless about the blogosphere but we’re buck naked and doggy paddling very fast. I love the transparent honesty in your posts. Big Kudos. Now about that Indie virus…

    Okay, that does it. Rand, you guys are so on the ball with your new blogging venture. You ARE my role models. I’ve been talking about an art blog for the New Orleans French Quarter art galleries. The Untangled Life is an excellent example of retail blogging.

    Responding my coment in Hugh’s blog in my blog is so clueful, very welcoming, and is the epitome of blogging as the po’ boy’s CRM software.

    Thanks for the complients. I’ll be by the Untangled Life soon. Thanks.
