Create a successful blog! This is one of the most easiest ways to generate traffic to a huge resource of people who love to read. Why do you think sites like google, yahoo, msn have news pages? People want to know things and will search these types of outlets to find what they want.

STEP 1.

If you are going to create a blog that actually does well in the search engines and generates traffic it is best to have your blog directly on your site. Why is this important? Well, your back links don't count unless the blog is on your own server!

There are 2 sites that allow this and it is easy to manage (with a little knowledge of ftp and basic configurations of course).

1. Blogger
2. WordPress

There may be more but I have not used these yet so if you have any recommendations feel free to contact us regarding this information.

NOTE: if you are in need of a blog and just can't do it, contact us as well and we will give some further instructions or provide a simple service to get you started. Soon we will add a service page to our site to offer this as a normal service as long as the demand is high for this.

STEP 2:

It is also important to know about ping servers. Usually in your preferences for your blogs you can add additional ping servers. If your blog program does not offer this you can use other ping services like: PingOMatic. Here is a current list of ping server:

STEP 3:

Add your blog to "Blog Directories" Like this one here. These are great services and usually cost mim of $5.00 per year - $25.00 per year. Some will even offer free listings as long as you do a reciprocal link back.

This comunity of Blog Directories are incredible experience. Most sites are only after their own needs and want to wipe out the rest of the competition. Blog Directory owners are working together to build each other up, support each other and provide their listers with additional resources to find more blog directories.

Every time you list on a blog you will get a notice of some kind approving your listing and referring you to more blog directories.

STEP 4:

Link to your service sites or product sites within your blog. Make sure when posting your blogs that you make reference to your sites that make you money. I am not saying do a sales pitch but at a simple statement once in awhile like "these articles brought to you by Surreal Blog" Notice I have a title and a link to my main site.

Editors Notes:

We will be adding as much information here as we can to help others build successful blogs and direct them to the best directories. If you have any comments or tips to add please send them our way by contacting us today.

It is our goal to keep these directory services a strong resource for all bloggers.
