30 Day Challenge 2008: Day 15 – Setting Up A Weebly Site

Mike Law — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:48:51 +0000

If you are wondering what happened to day 14 it seems to have been pulled from the thirty day challenge. I believe day 14 was about setting up a Tumblr blog but unfortunately we seem to have had a deja vu from last year where Tumblr deleted everyone’s blogs. Because sites like Tumblr and the many other hosted blogging and site building systems are subject to spam they can have very strict guidelines. In the case of Tumblr they do not want people to be using their service as a marketing tool therefore it’s best to ignore their service and move on, there are so many alternatives that it isn’t a big deal.

Day 15 is about setting up a Weebly site. You will start to see over the next few days that it’s all about putting up as much content as possible all over the internet pointing to your own site. By putting content on well established “authority” sites and linking to your own site you are building a lot of trust with the search engines therefore improving your rankings.

30 Day Challenge 2008: Day 11 – How To Create A Squidoo Lens

Squidoo www.squidoo.com is a great place to create content and build links to your own sites, you should also get a fair amount of direct traffic. You should really try and create as many lenses and/or groups as you can making sure they are of good quality. You can also add your blogs RSS feed to your lens which is a great way to make sure your new posts get indexed nice and quickly.

They key is to make sure you optimize your lens your your chosen keywords in the lens title, lens URL and scattered throughout the lens. The more info you can add to your lens(es) the more traffic pulling potential it has and the more likely other Squidoo lensmasters are to link to it.

Also make sure you use the maximum number of tags which I believe is about 40, as each tag you use creates a back link to your lens from the Squidoo tags pages.

GuruBob also shows today how to find content on your niche using Market Samurai. The find content option of Market Samurai has a pretty cool feature which creates an RSS feed of content pulled from a large variety of sources which you can add to your Squidoo Lens.
