I thought Google had added a nofollow algorithm for article directories and that it wouldn’t count those links because the idea is to get your links from publishers who use your articles rather than to rely on links from the directories. » Should We Continue To Trust Google?

I ran a DJ blog which I later let die due to other interests and I even ran ViperChill for a year (a long time ago) without getting one single comment or feed subscriber. They simply read it because they like seeing a big blog case study unfold before them. I’ve made most of the blogging mistakes you can think of.

I believe quality links ARE better, but I’ve never seen someone prove in a case study that directory submissions are not worth their while. This is gold.

If you are desperate to get your feed count past 1,000 subscribers then, this is also for you. First of all, I made my feed subscription options the first thing anyone sees in the blog sidebar so that they get a lot of views. And finally, I made sure to show my feed count.

Decide on a Brandable Name Because these blogs write so much, they don’t have as many people coming to their blog via feed readers as you would expect. If you go by RSS feed subscribers and Technorati rank, you might think they still are. My next case study? 75% more if their numbers are anything to go by.

A recent case study of Dessert Gallery illustrates just how powerful it can be. Master the news feed algorithm. Because Facebook filters what appears in a user’s news feed based on comments, shared friends, recent interactions – the more hands you get on something, the more likely it is users are seeing your brand and content.
