Are you blogging for money or just for the fun of it? It doesn’t hurt to get paid for your writing, and having a steady flow of traffic is key. At the present, I have about 135 incoming links to this blog, but I could use more! Incoming links help to raise your search engine position, which raises your blog’s value. Even if you are just blogging for the fun of it, you will want people to be able to locate your blog in search engines so they can read what you have to say. Those of you who are blogging for serious money will see a steady rise in page rank (that’s how high you place in search engines) once you have a ton of incoming links. I found a fun an easy way to get incoming links without begging for them! Go to Link and Blog Challenge. Here’s how the site works. You will find a word to write about. Say, for instance the word is television. You will be challenged to include that key word in your blog post. You place the link of your post on the Blog and Link Challenge page and then, someone else will link to you, commenting on what you had to say. It’s sort of like a chain. You link to someone in your post using a keyword and then someone links to you. It’s a great concept, and I am trying out that blogging concept with this post. Can you guess my keyword?
