Get hundreds of links to your site fast

Get hundreds of links to your site fast: "'Discover how to get hundreds of links to your site - instantly - Click Here Now'

HURRY - March 4th is the last day you can add multiple extra sites for only $2 each! It goes up tomorrow to $9.95 per site - so even if you are considering it - add your sites now.

Dear Friend,

I've had so many questions about the Power Linking solution that I just couldn't answer all the emails. Let me try to put your mind at ease.

This is an EXCELLENT solution for anyone using Traffic Equalizer, Directory Generator, Traffic Blast, or Traffic Hurricane. (Meta-webs users, you'll have to check with Nathan if this is compatible with your overall strategy.)

1. It's not a link farm.

2. You won't get penalized by the search engines for using this.

3. I have several friends who are using this solution and it works GREAT! That is why I tried it and recommended it!

4. My best friend signed up just a few days ago and reports that he got a PR7 inbound link - just one of many links to his site.

5. One of my Blog and Ping customers emailed me and said he as 18 sites using it - here is his quote - 'I have them running right now on 18 websites - what a way to get 2,200 links back!'

6. I put up the PowerLinks links page a few days ago and have been totally blown away by the number of new inbound links I am getting!

7. It's a revenue source, since you'll passively earn referral commissions AND get links.

8. WARNING: If you are relying on the Google link: command - it's a dirty liar. Google is NOT giving you accurate data about your inbound links. The Yahoo link command is much more reliable.

The very best way to find out the TRUTH about links on any site is to click HERE"

I was wrong about links in comment tags

I had originally posted that you could get an inbound link from this blog by posting to the comments area - and including your URL - I even created a page to show you how.

Though the "comment tag - no follow" plea by Google doesn't make it impossible - the fact is, that Blogger uses a "REDIRECT" on the URLs in the comment tags.

This means that the comment tags go through a redirect and so the link power to your URL is lost.

This is a dumb and jerky thing for Google/Blogger to do - but that is the way it is.

I thank the reader who educated me on this - and apologize profoundly to the people I misled because I was ill-informed.

Live and learn!
Rick

Another reason not to fear Blog and Ping.

By Jonathan Leger
Creator of BlogBurner.com

I had an epiphany regarding the Blog and Ping process and why it will never get the site that your blog points to penalized or banned.

Google has made it very clear that who your site links to can hurt you, but the sites that link to you cannot hurt you, they can only help.

The reason for this is obvious. If I have a website that links to a bunch of known spammer sites, then Google figures I must be associated with those spammers and, therefore, it is quite likely that I am a spammer. So Google may decide to penalize my site for linking to spammer sites.

However, if a spammer site links to me--I have no control over that. If Google were to penalize my site because a spammer site is linked to mine, they would open a HUGE Pandora's box. Search engine optimizers the world over would start creating spam sites on purpose and linking to the competition to try and get the competition sites penalized. Google doesn't want that, so they never count who links to you against you--only who you link to can count against you.

How does this effect Blog and Ping? Let's say that Google decides it doesn't like the blog and ping process (which I doubt will ever happen, but let's just say). If Google decided to penalize the site being linked to because of the blog they will be breaking their rule that who links to a site can't hurt it, and again, they would open up a Pandora's box as the SEO guys start blogging and pinging all of their competititor's sites.

The absolute worst thing Google can do is ignore links on blogs, which again would be a stupid thing to do because they would lose access to a lot of great, fresh content on the web.

It's just logical. Blog and ping is here to stay. So don't sweat it, just blog and ping it!

The technical and business reasons why the Blog and Ping process will not stop working with the search engines over time.

by Jonathan Leger
Creator of BlogBurner.com

Google's post regarding comment spam has a lot of people wondering two things: 1) does the blog and ping process constitute comment spam and 2) is the blog and ping process here to stay?

The short answers are: 1) No and 2) Yes.

Let me elaborate.

1) Does the blog and ping process constitute comment spam?

No. What Google, Blogger and other blog sites are trying to prevent has nothing to do with the blog and ping process. Comment spam is this: A person has a web site and wants to get it to rank better in the search engines. This person knows that Google ranks sites well that have a lot of links coming into it from other web sites, so they go out looking for free ways to get links from other web sites to their own site in the hope of improving their ranking. Since many blogs allow people to post comments about the blog entry, and since those comments usually allow a link to point to the comment author's own site, these guys go around posting all kinds of bogus "comments" to blogs in an effort to get a lot of links to their sites and improve their rankings.

This is not what Blog and Ping does. At all. Ever. Still think so? Stop. You're a fool.

Ok, ok, sorry about the fool part, but it always aggrivates me when people try to make blanket statements about what the search engines will and will not do, what they like and do not like, and how just because Google doesn't like this then inevitably they wont like that.

Google is trying to stop spam. Blog comment spam. People posting bogus comments on other people's blog sites for the purpose of artificially inflating the rankings of their own web sites. That's all. Period. It has absolutely no bearing on the blog and ping process at all.

2) Is the blog and ping process here to stay?

Yes. Here's why:

The blog and ping process is this: you post a few entries to YOUR OWN BLOG (not somebody else's) that link to pages on YOUR OWN WEBSITE (not somebody else's). Once the posts are made you inform the search engines that your blog has updated (you "ping" them). They come to take a look at the changes to your blog, and they follow the links to the pages of your web site. Your web site pages get put into the search engines index of pages so that people can find them when they do searches at the engines.

It's a very simple, elegant and brilliant way of getting your pages indexed. It is here to stay because of one simple fact:

THE BLOG AND PING PROCESS DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE RANKINGS.

Got that? Just in case, let me say it again:

THE BLOG AND PING PROCESS DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE RANKINGS.

One more time for emphasis:

THE BLOG AND PING PROCESS DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE RANKINGS.

Blog and ping gets your site spidered, and very very quickly. But it does not improve your search engine rankings, or at least should never be used for that purpose. The problem that blog and ping solves is that the search engines don't usually deep crawl a site from the first page. Sure, they crawl chunks of the site, but how often have you had a site crawled only to have it stop after the first few pages and wait weeks or months to return again and get the rest? By linking to the individual pages in your blog and notifying the search engines of those pages, you get your site deep crawled.

This will never be a problem if your site is not a spam site. If your site is a spam site, there is always the risk that the site will be discovered for what it is and penalized or banned.

Google and Yahoo are at war. As of about November of 2004 they are both trying desperately to get the most content possible into their indexes as quickly as possible. They're crawling and crawling and looking and searching for new content. It just so happens that blog and ping helps them find it faster than they would on their own. They WANT the content, they NEED the content, they are at WAR for the content. Blog and ping gives them what they want. That's all. It's up to you to optimize your pages so that they will rank well. It's up to you to get links from other web sites to yours to help improve those rankings. Blog and ping has nothing to do with that.

I hope that clears up some of the misconceptions about what blog and ping does, and I hope it quiets down the nay-sayers who claim it doesn't work or will get you banned. All blog and ping does is point the search engines to the content on your web pages. The engines want this content, so they follow the links and grab it up. If you did your homework well and have optimized your pages well, you are rewarded with traffic to the pages.

If you never blog and ping a single page, the search engines will EVENTUALLY put your entire site in the index. But it might take weeks, it might take months, and sometimes it may take a year or more--I've had sites that were around for years that the engines never completely indexed until I blogged and pinged the deeper pages. Blog and ping makes everybody happy: the search engines because they get their content, you because you get your traffic, and people searching at the engines because they find what they are looking for.

End of story.

** Response to new Google guideline on pinging blogs

I posted this update at http://www.blogandping.blogspot.com and
my comments.

Jonathan will be adding the technical facts to my fiery response
very soon - so check back to this blog often.

The short version is that this has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to
do with blog and ping - or blogburner.

This is about people coming to your site and spamming your

over linking unless you add code to tell them!

Get a FREE PR3 link from my blog - just go to:

comment go to http://www.blogandping.com/blog

This is an excellent way to get valid inbound links to your
site - and its time for all the bed wetter, cry babies who
think it's wrong to even buy an inbound link to get a life!

Preventing comment spam
If you're a blogger (or a blog reader), you're painfully familiar with people who try to raise their own websites' search engine rankings by submitting linked blog comments like 'Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site.' This is called comment spam, we don't like it either, and we've been testing a new tag that blocks it. From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel='nofollow') on hyperlinks, those links won't get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn't a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it's just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists.

We hope the web software community will quickly adopt this attribute and we're pleased that a number of blog software makers have already signed on:

Brad Fitzpatrick - LiveJournal
Dave Winer - Scripting News
Anil Dash - Six Apart
Steve Jenson - Blogger
Matt Mullenweg - WordPress
Stewart Butterfield - Flickr
Anthony Batt - Buzznet
David Czarnecki - blojsom
Rael Dornfest - Blosxom
Mike Torres - MSN Spaces

We've also discussed this issue with colleagues at our fellow search engines and would like to thank MSN Search and Yahoo! for supporting this initiative. Here are a few guidelines for anyone else who wants to join the cause.

Q: How does a link change?
A: Any link that a user can create on your site automatically gets a new 'nofollow' attribute. So if a blog spammer previously added a comment like

Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site.

That comment would be transformed to

Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site.

Q: What types of links should get this attribute?
A: We encourage you to use the rel='nofollow' attribute anywhere"

Get your site spidered by Google and Yahoo!

Get your site spidered by Google and Yahoo!: "Getting Into Google
Well, you see, the largest search engine in the universe, Google, owns Blogger.com - and they send their search engine spiders through Blogger all the time looking for - you guessed it - fresh content!
When you blog the content on your site - (all you have to do is highlight some specific text and push a button) it automatically attaches the URL and the page name such as http://www.YourNewSite.com.
When Google's search spider comes upon the page it say's (in special spider language) 'Hey - we don't have that page listed! We'd better get over there and check it out!' And boy do they ever.
This is approximately a kazillion times faster than submitting your URL to Google and waiting a month - and as Google's own FAQ will tell you - they love to 'discover' sites by finding links rather than submission.
Once Google picks up your site - all the other search engines that use it's powerful feed will pick you up too, once the floodgates open up you simply won't believe your eyes when you look at the search engine traffic that hits your web logs!"

Googlebot not coming to page

Googlebot not coming to page: "Q: For the last month on and off I have tried pinging and blogging. Thanks to you I have yahoo/slurp visiting really well but not the Googlebot.

Do you think there is something wrong with my Blogger.com account?

I read somewhere that sometimes people have problems and create a totally new account on Blogger.com. DO you think that might sort it?"

How many times to blog and ping a page

How many times to blog and ping a page: " You only need to blog and ping each page 1 time. That's it.
Remember, the primary function of the blog and ping strategy is to get the robots and spiders to come to your site - crawl the pages - and hopefully they will like your page (which means no 'black hat' or outlaw techniques like hidden text (for instance, using white text on a white background) or search engine spamming - they will index your site."

Search engine index a page

Search engine index a page: "1. Where the search engine is in it's 'cycle.' Google, for example, used to spend the first 2-3 weeks of the month spidering pages, then the last week of the month running their indexing format. Then around the first of the month they would update their index and sites would go up and down."

Search engine spiders show up

Search engine spiders show up: "'How long after I start will it take for the search engine spiders to show up?'"

Search engine index a page

Search engine index a page: "A: The time between spidering (the search engine finding and collecting data on your page) and indexing (actually ranking your page for the words and phrases they decide your page is about - and then making it available for search results) depends on several variables:"
