As part of the online marketing mix, blogging plays a significant role because right now much of the marketing effort still revolves around driving people to your web site. When you want your prospects to buy something, you want them to visit your site and proceed to the order / payment page. Blog RSS feeds. Podcast feed.

Just as low-level article directories (ezinearticles, articlesbase, and others) got hurt by Google’s Panda Update in 2013, I predict that Google will hurt sites abusing guest blogging in 2013. Google’s Penguin update penalizes sites that link text unnaturally. This guest post is by Jeff Foster of WebBizIdeas. What is unnatural linking?

I like to focus on building search engine traffic to my sites because once you have rankings you can usually sustain them with little effort and the traffic they send is very targeted. Some success is from sites I purchased which were ranking on the first few pages of Google and I built some great links to get them on the first page.

When you’re thinking about domain names for affiliate sites, its best to be as relevant as possible, but also choose something brandable. Relevant so that you get a small ‘boost’ from the search engines but also brandable becuase you want people talking about your project or trusting the name when they land on the site.

You may or may not have heard about a relatively new search engine named Blekko – and fortunately it doesn’t matter hugely in the context of this post. Put that at a CPM of say $10, and that’s another $100, before we look at how the offer has spread via social networks, social sharing sites, and other word-of-mouth routes.

In it’s simplest form, guest blogging is the exchange of content from one blogger to another, for a site which the author does not own. This, of course, is why so many bloggers care about their feed count. My own activities with guest blogging have sometimes found me on 3-4 sites all on the same day. More on this later).
