    I am very very impressed by the tips here, and most especially by the lists you have compiled. It must have taken you a lot of time to compile them. I appreciate your efforts. Many like me will benefit from it.

    Very nice Simon. Thanks for putting this together. Making those lists definitely took some time.
  • olly @ garage doors · 1 year ago
    Hey nice clear concise tips here and useful lists.

    Nice to see my reviewblog appearing in your list as well! I guess that makes me kind of famous!
  • Olivier @ brainwave meditation · 1 year ago
    Very good article. But what it does not say, but unfortunately is very true and I had to find out the hard way, is that it takes a lot of effort and dedication to rank well and get decent traffic.
    But implementing what you said in the article is a sure way to get you there.
  • Olivier @ brainwave meditation · 1 year ago
    Oh, when I commented, I did not notice that you added me as a link in the Keywordluv section. Thanks a lot for that.

    Its correct we have to pick a niche. But when we choose one we will narrowing our amount of post as we will only post to that niche only.

    Its great if we post one topic and leave it for a while, for Google Adsense to show the ads related to our post.
  • kouji@haiku poem · 1 year ago

  • Rachel · 1 year ago
    You wrote a very good article here. This must have taken you forever to write and gather all of the links.
  • Bill · 1 year ago
    That's a very in-depth article. I was wondering if anyone has had problems with google's adsense and if there have been any problems with traffic not converting? I would like to start making revenue on my blog but I'm not sure if I am getting enough traffic to start putting up advertisements.

  • Jon@Beauty Salon Marketing · 1 year ago
    Excellent list. A couple of other things that I've found useful -

    Comment on CommentLuv sites (gets you deep links) and do it responsibly, as you suggested for KeywordLuv

    Submit your site to the (free) blog directories - technorati, mybloglog, blogcatalog, etc.

    HTH

    Cheers, Jon

  • Aroah@Earn Money Online · 1 year ago
    Really nice read!

    But, its interesting to note that its important to keep in mind that the content we promote shouldn't be spam and should be relevant to our target audience.

    The big mistake that most people do is create content which people don't want to read.

    It would have also been interesting if you had mentioned a little more about services like Squiddo and Yahoo Answers.

    Thanks!

  • chi@california dui · 1 year ago
    Well written and detailed post with great tips. Also thanks for the blog listings. Google Ads really do depend on niches. My celebrity niches suck and pay low. My computer niches pay decent. It totally varies.
  • Ajith Edassery @ DollarShower · 1 year ago
    According to me what MMO bloggers need to remember the most is that they have to make 'real money' for their readers as well via their recommendations. Most of those MMO big bloggers are selling their affiliate links to people and not really giving any good tips any longer. They either write about where they dined last night or show clips/snaps of some junk meetings they attended along with some marketing babes.


    Cheers,

  • Carl@Paid Surveys · 1 year ago
    I've got to tell you: as much as I come across so many blog posts telling people how to make money online, I almost always read them as I might pick up on something amongst all the cliches.

    I actually found this particular post refreshingly to-the-point and I also liked the lists you've got there. I plan to make use of them.

    You see: imagine what would have happened if I'd seen the title of your post, rolled my eyes and promptly moved on. I would have missed out on something useful :-)

    Thanks!
  • HSN · 1 year ago

  • King@London Removals · 1 year ago
    Thanks, great content. When i started blogging, i unknowingly did follow some of the tips here, and started getting traffic from a preliminary stage.

    However, i have a different opinion about the sandbox effect. Getting traffic from google never took me that long, highest delay was probably 15 days max.

    And about keyword targeting, i should recommend Keyword corral from john cow. That tool is awesome to target keywords.
  • jeff@Cheap lcd tvs. · 1 year ago
    I think the niche and correct seo is one ofthe most important. Keywords and links help site rank well and get traffic. If you do not get traffic you will have to pay to advertise and that cuts down earnings.
  • sadekjake@Address Labels · 1 year ago
    Dofollow commenting is nice way of getting your site some exposure. But with the ever increasing spamming, more and more of the sites are closing their do follow attribute. We should be more careful with such do follow lists.
  • Daniel@PHP Programmer Philippi · 1 year ago
    very nice tutorial thanks thanks very much i learned alot from this thanks again :)
  • daniel@glow in the dark contac · 1 year ago
    I have heard so many people misleading people with their "content is king" theories. The truth is you could take a crappy article, rewrite it almost word-for-word, and if you get a few thousand back links, search engines will put you on top.

    But it is important to have decent content because it only takes one semi-savy internet marketeer to find your site and you'll disappear.
  • Magdiel@Motorcycle Fairing · 1 year ago
    I can't beleive how you just share for free this information. You can be charging for it, but anyways thanks a lot for this kind gesture.
  • Phillip@Make Money Online Free · 1 year ago
    That's a top notch tutorial, thank you. There were a few points on link building that I wasn't sure about but you clarified them well. Nice list of comment luv plugins too.

    Its correct we have to pick a niche. But when we choose one we will narrowing our amount of post as we will only post to that niche only.
  • Rhys@BizBlog-commentluv-guaran · 1 year ago
    Hi Simon!

    Great advice and resource, but if you made a list of sites with these attributes:
    High PR
    CommentLuv
    DoFollow
    - it would be the absolute tops. Commentators score two links, one of which uses the last post KeyWords, so the back link is the best possible anchor text!

    I seek out such sites and support them with constructive comment, and in return I get juicy gold plated back links - MAGIC!
  • Simon · 1 year ago
    Here's the link you are after Rhys: http://www.untwistedvortex.com/do-follow-commen...

  • Mathew@High yield savings acco · 12 months ago
    The social book mark sites are good for some sites. I do not think i would use them for sites with adsense ads. It could get you smart priced. Affiliate marketing is good for bookmarks if they are on topic.

  • James@funky women's clothing · 11 months ago
    Hi Simon, this is one of the best posts on this topic that I have read. and I read a LOT.
    In many blogs and forums, the recommendation is to focus only on content. But this is relevant for the best of the best bloggers.
    The rest should understand the steps you wrote here. Thanks for a very good post.
  • Brian@clean room wall panels · 11 months ago
    Simon, I believe that links are King and content is Queen. This is after many years of building traffic and ranking pages. It is not uncommon for me to get the ranking first then create top notch content. Why invest until the ranking is solid? Thanks for the KeywordLuv list you gave. I also recommend that each person check to make sure these are DoFollow. Just use the SEO plugin for FireFox and it will highlight NoFollow links.
  • Dusty@blogmarketingbasics · 11 months ago

  • tom@Local phone service. · 11 months ago
    Nice post. You listed some good sites to get people going and ways to get links. I do not think forums help much because most pages never have any page rank. They can send traffic but not help pr most of the time.
  • John Clark@Technology Blog · 11 months ago
    Great list here will definitely utilize these dofollow links, thank you.
  • Joanne@PrintableCoupons · 11 months ago
    Thank you so much for this informative post. I can tell you put a lot of effort into it and I wanted to say it's appreciated.

    I also use the comment luv plug in but this is the first I'm hearing about the keyword plug in. How do you control people who try to spam your blog? Is there a setting in the control panel where you can pre-set how many comments someone has to make before it kicks in?

    I followed your instructions....to put my keyword after my name. I'm interested to see how this works.

    Thanks again!
  • Andy@best mlm lead · 11 months ago
    This is an amazing list. Do you think all of these ways of getting links have the same value to the search engines. I mean, does a forum link = a blog comment = a blog roll?
    Thanks for the great resource.
  • Drawinism@Learn to Draw Online · 10 months ago

    Traffic is the key to success, if you can not get it simply you can not earn anything. Simon has given a great list of blogs for commenting but keep your self away from “nofollow” tag. If link has this tag it does not hold any value in the eyes of search engine.

    My view on any measures on a blog or forum is this: it's your house and I am merely a guest. I don't moan when people have locks on their doors and I won't moan when I see anti-spam measures. Sites with good anti-spam measures are easy to use and are coherent. When I hit a blog filled with awful spam comments I tend to click away very quickly.

    Anyway, I use KeywordLuv too - I think on your recommendation - so I use it automatically anyway

  • theExBackBlog · 7 months ago
    Thanks for the superb information - "If you use blogger, try and get the keyword in the URL also. It helps." I must admit I hadn't thought about it quite as being good for SEO.


    I guess that's one of the reasons reading a top class blog such as yours in so valuable to others in the field. Every good SEO hint helps!
