Hi Guys,

it’s gone a bit quiet on the test blog this week. There were a couple of minor changes with one of the programs adding one or two extra backlinks.

I have also added another tool to the mix.

I have been a subscriber to Traffic-Bug since the early days, stumbling across it during the 2009 Thirty Day Challenge.

But, because of the other tools I was using, such as Bookmarking Demon 5 etc, I sort of lost interest in it.

But the subscription was still there so I decided to see how it performs.   I know that as an indexing tool it is excellent, but I’ve never tested to quality or quantity of the backlinks it produces.

I have added two pages to the test blog, one to test the traffic-bug submitter and the other to test the RSS submitter side of the program and have set the program onto aggressive, which essentially means that it will drop lots of backlinks in a short space of time.

Anyway, let’s have a look at the figures from last week. Read the rest of this entry »

There will come a time soon, when you find yourself creating 3, 4 or maybe more blogs all targetting keywords in the same niche, particularly if you are making money with the Commission Ritual methods.

Because WordPress doesn’t advertise the fact that it can export as well as import blogroll links you may well find yourself spending hour after hour copying and pasting links from one blog to the next and then again to the next and so on.

But it doesn’t have to be like that.

There are a couple of plugins which do an excellent job of exporting links.

The first is called Blogroll OPML Export and was suggested to me by Rochelle at Niche Store Strategies Blog.

After downloading, installing and activating the plugin you are prompted to export your blogroll links to a text file (with .opml extension – NOT .txt)

Then you go to your new blog and click on tools/import/blogroll and the plugin will import your blogroll and let you choose which category to place them in.

The second, and my preferred plugin is called ‘Import Blogroll With Categories‘. Not a particularly inspiring name, but the plugin does EXACTLY what it say on the can!

I think it is easier to use as well.

Install the plugin on both blogs.  One the blog which has links, from the links menu click export. You will be presented with a html page of your links in opml format. Highlight and copy the url.

Next, on your new blog, from the links menu click, import.  One the screen that open up paste in the url you copied and hit enter.  Your links are now all imported and categorised.

There are lots of options with this plugin such as creating categories or importing from a saved file etc etc.  But for me it works perfectly out of the box.

There is a common belief amongst internet marketers that you cannot rank well with duplicate content. But do we know for sure that that is true?

There are millions of sites out there that in my eyes are ranking well and yet I KNOW that there is almost no, or in some cases none unique content.

The way they manage to rank is to take lots of different bits of content from lots of different sites, scramble it up a bit, and bingo… a new ranking page.

These sites are known as agregator sites because the content they publish is an agregate of other sites.

Alex Goad, producer of the new Auto Content Cash program has released a video.  Obviously the end of the video is promoting Auto Content Cash and telling us how much money ACC creates and how well the sites rank, (He shows a completely auto blogging site which ranks 9th out of over 9 million – which I have to say is pretty impressive!).  There is a LOT of good stuff in here, and it is well worth spending 15 minutes to watch it.

If you’re like me then you write a post, publish it and then notice a stupid error in it (usually spelling or grammer for me). So you go back into the post, edit it and re-publish… only to notice another error. And so on until you are happy that the post is correct and a thing of beauty worthy of publication.

Now this quest for perfection is admirable and I’m sure your readers appreciate it.

Unfortunately, because of the way WordPress is setup you may be being punished.

When you publish a post or page WP sends out a ping via RPC pingomatic, this alerts various pinging services that you have made a change and it may be worthwhile sending in the ‘bots to have a look.

But, and here’s the problem for perfectionists, every time you edit – you ping, and some of the services take a very dim view of excessive pinging and will ban your site.

Here is where Max Blog Press Ping Optimizer shines.

You can set this plugin to limit excessive pinging to however many you believe you can get away with in a set period of time. I always use an MBP (Max Blog Press) setting of 1 ping in 60 minutes, although I can’t really tell you why I chose those settings, other than they just feel right!

In addition, you can import your own list of pinging sites. Now I know that a lot of people think that RPC Pingomatic is adequate… but do you want to settle for adequate? These are the pinging services that I use, if you know of anymore then please comment and let me know.

(If you read this in the next hour – please be patient, I don’t have my list with me, but will post it as soon as I get back to my office – I promise   )

Update: I’m back now (and have edited some of the typos that are fast becoming features of my posts!)

Here is my list of ping sites. If you use any that are not listed then please post a comment and tell us.

Thanks.

Dave….

I posted a link to a free download yesterday of a new link getting plugin called Deep Linking Engine.

This is being released as an introduction to Auto Content Cash, a new fully automatic blogging system from Brian G Johnson and Alex Goad.

However…

There was have been a few people struggling with the settup of the plugin. So Brian has kindly created a video to show exactly how to set up Deep Linking Engine and how to use it most effectively.

So here it is: The Deep linking engine help video.

I was looking for a tool which would back-up my full WordPress site, including the database, layout, in fact everything.

Here was the specification I was looking for:

• Easy to set up
• Even easier to use
• Backs up database
• Backs up files
• Scheduled back-up
• Zips the back-up automaticaly
• E-mails me the results

I downloaded plug-in after plug-in, and to be fair most of them were pretty good, but one stood out above the rest.

Bei Fen from David Schneider did everything I wanted, and even better, it was free.

Setup was a breeze, just tell it what type of back-up you want, if you want a scheduled or one off backup, if you want it zipping, etc, etc etc.

You can download it from David’s web site or search for Bei Fen

News: Version 2 of Bei Fen is in development, but David is looking for some help, o if you are a developer and are interested in becoming involved check out the project page at SourceForge.net, sign up for an account and join the group to get all necessary information and news about the process.
