More SEO Tactics, but this time with Bloglines
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a pretty hot topic all over the web and in corporations as both people and businesses try to drive more an more traffic to their sites. Two weeks ago I took part in a ViralLinks campaign and the results were both immediate and dramatic. I’ve been a bit wary on starting another with the fear that my site could be classified as a splog (spam blog) by Google or Technorati. Considering how these two search engines account for 54% and 28% respectively of all referrals to this site, it’s concern enough for me to not go overboard all at once.
However, after reading about Darin Carter’s Bloglines List on Ms. Danielle’s great site, I decided it was time to add to my Bloglines feeds. What I like most about these SEO projects (aside from the obvious increase in site rankings) is the exposure to new sites. There are literally tens of millions of blogs out on the internet, and no two are alike. Many of the best sites are found through “word of mouth”, and this is a great way to spread that word and expand the blogging community.
So … that said, here’s the SEO tactic:

Here are the rules:
1) If you don’t have a bloglines account signup for one, if you do have a bloglines account sign in to your account!
2) Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the Bloglines list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
3) COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below and post it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can be accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.
4) Take “My New List” and move them into the “The Original List”.
5) Add 3 Blogs that you’ve just added to your Bloglines List to the “My New List” section. Remember to also add the “List the Site link next to your new blogs (i.e. http://www.bloglines.com/sub/http://www.theblogurl.com/feed)
6) Add Everyone on this list to your Bloglines List by clicking on “List the Site.” Those who want good kharma will list you back. If not, you will for sure get the benefits of readers from the bloggers who continue this list after you.
