Blogging Tips and Tricks
Tomorrow I am going to try and sneak you some information about an upcoming release… maybe screenshots even… but so far I haven’t been able to get my hands on them yet, so today I thought I would answer a couple quick techy questions I hear about our blog regularly…
What blogging software do you use?
Wordpress!! (and love it)
Do you Ping?
Of course. We were tagging and pinging before any marketer created the term to sell an info product.
You could ping manually with one of the following services:
Pingomatic
Pingoat
PingTheEmpire
Or, take advantage of the built-in Wordpress ability to automatically ping for you (a little time consuming when posting) by adding any of the following lists into the Update Services field on the Wordpress Options >> Writing page:
Elliott Backs list of 50+ pings
A List in Warrior Forums
A compiled and organized list of the above sources
What Plugins do you use?
All of the plugins we use can be found on Jim Westergrens excellent blog.
Of course there are no end to useful plugins and I recommend searching for ones that may be useful for you (Search Google for Wordpress Plugins!)
Do you get a lot of traffic?
Oh! Now we’re getting personal 
Actually we do alright, and fluctuate between 1500 and 3000 unique visitors every single day.
In fact, you can see exactly how many people are reading this blog right now, by checking out the ‘Visitors Online’ plugin at the bottom of our menu down the left hand side of the page. Generally we see 20 to 50 people online at any given moment.
Did you submit your blog to directories?
Yes and No. The SEO strategy I’ve used is a longer conversation than I have time for in this post, but yes I’ve submitted to directories in the past.
I HAVEN’T paid for a single submission though. There are too many useful free sources online to worry about paying for any one in particular (this is a general comment & how I have pursued SEO for this blog only… not a strategy written in stone!)
I am more of a linkbait (& Linkbaiting) fan, than a Link Ninja (& Link Ninja v.2) fan although both should be pursued with equal vigor
Did I miss anything? Have any other burning questions?
Just let me know and I will do my best to get them answered!
