Publishing Only Other People’s Stuff – I see blogs with auto-generated content and think, “Do you really think that’s going to work?&# It’s the inbound links that count. It doesn’t.

A blog is no longer used to merely publish blog type content. Quick advice: combine web publishing and other media to reach your audience.

Bloggers who are compensated can use the “nofollow&# tag within their outbound links to keep those links from being tagged by Google as paid content. The nofollow may well make that harder, but then again, if you are under contract I think it’s the buyer’s responsibility to track the postings of the paid blogger.

Links can do this regardless of whether or not they contain the “nofollow” attribute, contain redirects, come from a site with a high PageRank , and so on.

In other words, you can’t publish an article under your real name at EzineArticles and under an alias somewhere else. If this changes to ensure that your articles can only be published at EzineArticles and nowhere else, then that could effectively kill article marketing as it has been practiced in the past.)

It’s doubtful that the comments have any real benefit to the commenter as most blogs have nofollow links in comments which kill any search ranking benefits and nobody in their right mind will click their links as they’re so obviously spammy.

Therefore, if you’re serious about blogging, you need to make a concerted effort to learn traditional media/publishing etiquette. Bloggers are clearly in a different position than reporters because they are often also the publisher, and the publisher IS interested in ad sales. Keep the good stuff comin’, Tamar.

What you may not know is that since June 2009, the blog has consistently been making over $4-5,000 per month (over $6,000 in January, this year) without doing anything more than publishing new content. The other side of the coin is to focus on getting traffic from search engines or other forms, and monetising them in different ways.

YouTube Asking someone repeatedly to watch your crummy video, subscribe to your channel, and give you a 5-star rating. There’s no SEO value to these comments (they’re nofollowed by default), and all this approach does is makes you lose credibility in the eyes of the blogger. Keep the spam broadcasts to a minimum.
