Quick Recap : Keys To Success

My Yahoo


A quick way to get your blog indexed is to add it to My Yahoo. If you

do not have a My Yahoo account, I would recommend that you register

one right now.

Link: http://my.yahoo.com

Assuming that you have now registered, be sure to add your feed to

Yahoo's RSS Directory, you can do this in your My Yahoo user area.

This method is considered one of the fastest ways to get your blog

indexed by Yahoo

Quick Recap : Keys To Success

1) Blog Frequently, at least a few times per week. The biggest mistake

made by bloggers is to let weeks or even months go by without

blogging. If your blog is not being updated it will no longer be

considered "sweet" to the search engines, by that I mean it will be

considered a "dead" blog and they won't visit as often.

2) Start leaving comments on other successful blogs, and then

eventually leave a link back to your site after creating a relationship.

3) Research the most popular blogs within your category; you can use

bloglines.com for your research. Look at what they are doing and try

to model their success without copying.

4) Add your links to the blog directories to gain more backlinks.

5) Monitor your web stats to see where your traffic is originating. It is

important that you use a web stats program that can show you how

many people are "bookmarking" your site. A good bookmark ratio is a

good sign that people are interested in your blog and have plans on

re-visiting it.

Follow these steps and you will be moving forward with a very

successful blog. Please remember each blog post does not have to be

pages in length. It can be as little as one to two paragraphs. Keep in

mind that whatever you post should be valuable to the user and elicit

a response.
