Tonight I will be creating a series of what’s called web 2.0 properties. While this sounds like something “new”, it’s basically just creating webpage’s on the following services.
- blinkweb
- tumblr
- wetpaint
- beep
- blogger.com
- wordpress.com
- hubpages
- squidoo
- blog.com
- yolasite!
wow….
What’s the point?
The only point of creating pages on these sites is to obtain a backlink to my site. Yes, it’s a lot of work for a single backlink however it’s important. The big G loves these sites and any content on these sites is highly regarded by the search engines. If there is a link on those sites that points back to my site there is a fair chance the Google spiders will see it and follow it through to my site. Well that’s the test i’m doing anyway, I don’t know if it even works like that!!!!
It’s a lot of effort
Not only is a lot of work, it also requires, wait for it, a unique article per site, arrrrhhhh….. All I ever seem to be doing is writing damn articles. Just for the record, I’ve sold nothing, none of my sites can even be found in Google and it’s lots and lots for work for nothing at this stage –end rant.
It’s just a test
Instead of creating 10 unique lots of content for these websites, I’ll probably just spin a few articles and use them, they will for all intents and purposes be unique anyway. What I’m trying to do is find the absolute minimum I need to do in order to get a site to rank on the first page. I know that the research I did to select the phrase in the first place was based on incorrect data. Huh? How do I know that? because the data that search engines supply is fundamentally wrong, this is done so that you only have an idea of how much traffic a phrase gets.
Why don’t they want you to know the truth?
I don’t know really, but the only real way to understand the data is to test like I am now. But, and this is a big but, I don’t want to spend 6 months testing something only to find out the traffic numbers are nothing like Google originally stated and are crap. So I’m trying to test with the minimum effort, in the shortest time.
I’ll know more at the end of the week, but it looks like I need to do a LOT more backlinking to even get the search engines to recognise my site, let alone rank them.
Well, enough blogging back to work.
