KeywordLuv WordPress Plugin Review

Comments Off on KeywordLuv WordPress Plugin Review
August 22  |  Wordpress SEO  |   Ryan Clark

Now here’s another cool WordPress plugin to help attract quality comments and share some link love. After you read this post you can see this plugin in action right after the CommentLuv section, and you’ll see what a nifty and quick hack it is. So basically this plugin separates your name from the anchor text you want to get some link love on. This plugin is compatible with WordPress 2.2 and up, but if you are not running a version that new you should most likely upgrade ASAP!

*Update* It isn’t working with my theme, even with the option for non compatible themes turned on*

Download The KeywordLuv Plugin.

August 22  |  News  |   Ryan Clark

Hey everyone! Thanks so far for all the support, comments and tips you’ve sent my way and it has kept me going strong. I’m in the process of setting up two more items to help with your marketing quest, and that is a new Link Building Forum and what I think will be the very first Link Building Podcast(?). I’ve bought www.linkbuildingforums.com and I will intergrate it into the blog and get working ont he Podcast.

The forums will try and go deeper into link building and cover topics regarding both do and no follow. I want to get more into social network link building, forum link building and provide a section where bloggers can exchange blog posts and guest posts in order to find new ways of attaining quality links.

The Podcast will in the beginning cover all my favorite and current forms of link building, and once I get all the basics out of the way I will start doing interviews and cover the news. So if you think you’d like to be apart of the show, get in touch with me asap!

Link Building With Shout Wire(No Follow)

August 22  |  Social Bookmarking  |   Ryan Clark

Shout Wire is another site I’m sure most of you have heard of, and I’m only blogging about it for archival purposes only. Shout Wire was started by the folks at Torrent Spy and later aqquired by Tubearoo Video Network. The site is layed out nicely with a great web 2.0 look and feel with a VERY active community to boot. You get banned very quickly here if you do not submit quality content, so please don’t bother spamming this all day and night long. If you’re into viral video marketing like me, Shout Wire offers a very active video section, and if you hit the front page you’re going to get thousand of viewers in a matter of hours.

Plime is a well known social bookmarking service that passes along some link love. Plime currently holds a pr6 and tons of pages indexed. Plime makes use of a “karma points” system where it rewards user accounts the more they participate. You can move up in levels which helps get your content seen more on the site. Once you’re account reaches a certain level you can also edit other peoples submitted material if you notice a problem or error. It is Wiki-Like in that fashion, and adds and interesting little twist to this social bookmarking service. I would recommend checking out the heavily written FAQ which provides you with just about every answer you’d need..so if you’re ready head on over and sign up to Plime.

Have you been searching for a way to easily find no and do follow links on a page? Well I’ve been using a tool calle NoDoFollow for a while and never thought to blog about it. Once you’ve installed the plugin and restarted Firefox, you can right mouse click on the page you’re viewing, and tick the NoDoFollow option to activate the plugin. This plugin was programmed by Zachary Fox, and he graciously gives it away for free. So how does it work? Once you activate the plugin, you’ll now see red and blue highlighted links. Red means the link is no follow, and the blue means the links is do follow. Simple and easy! Download the plugin.

Here is a wicked little new dofollow search engine for DoFollow Forums. I’m always making dofollow forum lists for clients to use to market their site/business/products, and this search engine just made my day. I randomly stumbled across it while searching for a certain dofollow forum, so get ready for a huge list of dofollow forums. I like the innovation and I look forward to the many hours of dofollow searching I’ll get out of this. Forum link building has been gaining popularity, so don’t hesitate to take advantage of a great link building resource.

Link Building With RSS Hugger

August 21  |  Link Building  |   Ryan Clark

Colin Lahay from Mixed Market Arts is the brain child behind rssHugger. The purpose of rssHugger is to bring in more readers through your RSS Feed, as well as providing a strong back link to your website. Colin has managed to provide a unique site which is rewarded by a pr5, 1800+ indexed pages and thousands of links pointing to the site. He has also setup a similar service called wordHugger which I will blog about tomorrow. This just goes to show how you can create new ways of building links and ranking with a unique web service.

The Goal

My goal was originally to get 50,000 blogs signed up with a $10 joiners fee, but due to the fact that I want to support all of the great bloggers, even those who cannot afford $10, I changed this goal to sign up 250,000 free blogs within the first year of operation. With over 112 million registered blogs, with about 175,000 new ones per day, I feel this goal is possible. The money will be used to pay off college expenses, to invest in my other internet startup companies, sponsor like-minded business folk, and continue to support Kiva, who support entrepreneurs in the developing world.
