“Create relationships with loggers”… I “wood” do that if I thought it would work. A small giggle at your expense I am afraid as I think you meant “bloggers”, but at least someone is reading the post!
Ha, yes well I guess these silly things creep in when you’re writing posts at the end of a busy day and rushing to get home
Thanks, I’ve fixed the typo
“Write posts for other blogs.” – how would that come about? It may be a great tips article.
Hey Zibuka, basically you’ll have to find blogs with similar interests and contact them. You will have to contact quite a few blogs since not a lot of blogs are very open to this idea. You might find that only 1 out of every 10 blogs are willing to have you write for them.
If you do find a few that are willing, it’ll be worth it. These posts will send links back to your site and links pointing to you shows search engines that you are important.
When contacting these blogs, start a conversation and build a relationship with them. Do not simply send an article through. Ask them about topics or suggest a few to them. If you could build a relationship with them, you will reap the benefits for a long time to come.
