Internet Marketing Tools - Ping Your Blogs For Search Engine Attention

You have built your blog and you are making posts to it every day. Excellent! You are using one of the really great internet marketing tools to get traffic and build your list-blogging and creating new, unique content. However to really make the most of it you have to be sure the search engines find you. How do you do that? Of course you will be using keywords and you will also be "Pinging" your blog.

What the heck does it mean to ping your blog?

Without getting super technical about it (because that is just not necessary), pinging is a way to notify the search engines that you have posted new content to your blog. You may remember that one of the reasons search engines like Google love blogs is because they have lots of unique content and they are updated regularly.

Well, if the search engine is a bull and you are the matador, then pinging is like waving the big red cape to get the bull's attention!

There are a couple ways to ping your blog...but the easiest is to use a free service that pings a lot of ping sites all at once. One of the services that we recommend is Pingoat.

It is very easy process, just go to Pingoat and fill in the name and URL of your blog. If you are using XML feeds you can fill this box in, but if you aren't...or if you don't know what that means...then leave that box empty.

Now you can see the list of places that will be pinged...I suggest you simply click "General" and it will automatically check all the boxes in that category. You can also check each site manually if you prefer, but why take that time?

Unless your blog is in a language other than English, leave the next section blank. Don't check the Special Services area either at this point.

Then all you have to do is click the Go Pingoat button and Pingoat will notify all those services that you have added new content. You will then see a notification that the sites have been pinged.

Another site that works very much the same way is Ping-O-Matic. Choose one site or the other, but don't do both. You don't want to ping more than once each time you add content because that can be considered spamming.

It really is that simple to get the attention of the search engines. By using these awesome, free, internet marketing tools you are waving a big red cape and letting the big bull know you have new content. That leads to more traffic and a bigger list.

Commenting on Blogs Can Get You Leads

So now that you have visited a blog, you either did one or two things. Read one of the posts or you immediately bounced out of the site. If you did not do the latter, I hope you took full advantage of the blog real estate and left a comment along with a link to your blog.

So as to not have insulted your intelligence , you would be surprised how many people do not take advantage of this simple link sharing technique. You see, I look at other people 's blog as a way to gain knowledge and education (I recommend that everyone does this), but most importantly, I make sure to leave my mark by leaving a well thought out comment along with a backlink to my blog. This in return gives me what I need most...Traffic to my website.

Though this may not be the biggest industry secret, it still not being used by many online marketers. For reasons unknown. I want to change that.

Here are some tips on how to effectively do this:

1) Find Blogs with a high page ranking. There are more and more blogs starting every day. Which one do you choose from? For starters, find a blog with a high page rank. I have an Alexa tool bar, so I am automatically able to see the page rank of a particular blog. A blog that has a ranking of 250 thousand or less is good start. Google tool bar works just as well, if not better. Truly read the post and leave a well thought out comment. Your comments will be seen by other people. Result...your URL link clicked and BAM a visitor to your website.

2.) Comment on many blogs. Now don't be shy. Be a fan of as many blogs as you like, but try to narrow it down to a manageable few. Keep track of all of your blogs and add your MLM wisdom. In essence you are riding the coat tails of a higher viewed blog.Objective...exposure and backlinks.

3) Have a good signature line. In order for this to work properly, you must have a perfect signature line. OK, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just make it clear enough so that people know your full name along with the right link to your blog. Fill in the right boxes and provide value in your comments.

Ladies and Gentleman, this is something that does not require much of your time. You will get the benefit of learning something new from someones post and benefit from a back link to your blog which may turn into a subscriber, a customer or a future partner.

Good luck to you!

Dedicated to your success.
