As many of you have seen there was a PR update today and over the next few days. As of yet ProTycoon.com has not changed, I am still at PR1 which is pretty annoying! The toolbar PR shows your rank as about a month ago, so as ProTycoon.com is only 5 months old, a PR1 is not a bad start. I was hoping for a PR3 though.
Some of my other blogs are PR4 and PR3 which is nice!
Many of my loyal readers will know about my Technorati Targets but for those of you that do not know, I have set myself a number of targets to reach on Technorati, they are:
Target Authority: 200 - Currently 78
Target Fans:20 - Currently 5
Target Rank: 200,000 - Currently 86,554
As you can see I have managed to dramatically improve my Technorati Rank, I want to share with you how I have managed to make such a big leap up the rankings.
Before I explain how I Increased my Technorati Rank lets look at how the Technorati rank is calculated. The rank is calculated using Technorati Authority, you gain Authority by getting mentions on other blogs. Technorati believes that your blog carries Authority if you are being mentioned on other blogs.
So as you can see, to increase your technorati rank you have to get other bloggers to link back to your blog.
It seems that no matter where you venture into the blogosphere these days you are always greeted by some form of promotion by Market Leverage, whether it is a ‘Market Leverage Contest‘ or just a simple banner advertisement, they are everywhere.
I had not been lured in until recently when I realised that they must be doing something right with so many bloggers promoting them and using their services.
I am always a bit dubious as many of these programs offer lifetime referral bonuses which encourage people to talk about and promote them. I did however decide to take the plunge, albeit with my eyes wide open.
I was very surprised with how professional their service is, once I had filled in the application form and pressed submit I was greeted with a phone call verifying my account and asking me if I needed any help. I was then welcomed by my publisher manager and felt very welcomed to the program.
Blogs by their very nature depend on comments, you write your posts with the view that your blogs visitors will leave their opinions and views in the small section under the post. Comments are also used as a metric by many to judge how popular your blog is, a large amount of comments can mean you are providing great content that people feel they should give their view on.
It is no surprise then that many bloggers are looking to increase comments on their blogs. I have managed to increase comments here on ProTycoon.com using many different methods. I am going to highlight the 5 most successful methods for increasing comments on your blog.
5 Ways To Increase Comments On Your Blog:
As many of you know, I won a contest over at Group Writing Project last week, which led me to start my own contest. I was browsing through the archives of Group Writing Project and found a post entitled: ‘Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2008 Group Writing Project‘. It talks of a contest being help by ‘Influential Blogger‘ where you have to write a post about 10 blogs you think are emerging in 2008.
I thought I would give it a shot, the blogs have to be newer than July 2007, so I had to pick 10 that have been created in the last year that I think are emerging as influential blogs in 2008, here are my 10:
- traffikd.com - Social Media & Internet Marketing Blog
