Build My Blog

I have submitted a few articles to the blog carnivals to see if it would drive any amount of traffic to this site. So far I am still undecided about the traffic opportunity due to the uninspiring results I have received.

I have submitted on two different rounds on two different carnivals. The first one I did I received a whopping 2 visitors when the carnival was posted. I wasn’t sure that it was worth the effort especially when the next couple of times brought about the same results. So maybe it is not such a great way to bring visitors, but maybe I am submitting to the wrong carnivals and haven’t found a big one yet.

The positive thing about submitting to carnivals though is the link you will receive. Links are like gold on the internet. Each link from a different blog carnival will bump your Technorati authority. That is definitely nice if you are playing the Technorati game and trying to boost your visibility in that network.

So my conclusion so far is that while blog carnivals are good for getting links and being visible in the community, they haven’t shown me to be a decent method of building traffic.

In the spirit of link building, I am going to offer a free post about your site. All you have to do is leave me a comment or email me and tell me what site you want linked. Be sure to include what you want the link text to be and let me know the meta data.. you know the title and alt.

The most important thing in SEO right now, and probably forever, is back links. The more links you have to your site the more important it is in the eyes of search engines. Of course there are many other factors taken into consideration and the more important the site is linking to you, the bigger search engine boost you get.

Anyway, this is easy, just tell me what you want your link to be and I will put it in a post.
