Turning of the No Follow part of your WordPress Blog and posting to the list of sites who similarly have the no follow turned off appears to be the fastest way to get your blog popular with the right people. As a test I am using my more personal fun filled blog, The Other Blog, as a test site. As of this writing on March 3, 2008 I have a 0 Google Page Rank, and 0 Technorati authority. I will have posted using that site as a link in roughly 30 to 35 posts tonight.
36 hours after this test began I have a Technorati authority of 4 on The Other Blog. My own traffic is up even if the number of comments is still down. I have made less than 50 total posts on Do Follow Blogs and those few hours over that short of a time period is well worth it. I will continue build this up for a week and get back to y’all on how well it is working.
My next project will be to increase the blogsGoogle page rank while I increase the authority of both The Other Blog and Tiny World.
I will seriously slow down my posting to random blogs with the nofollow removed and just try and keep up with the dozen or so I really like. I as a blogger who doesn’t like spam anymore than the other guys I will say if you are trying to build your rating, at the very least read the post and respond with something relevant, so as not to spoil other peoples good will towards us.
I am posting my own list of Do Follow blogs at the You Comment - I Follow page
cool experiment
I raised to 7 inside of a week and when I put the blog on its own domain raised it to a4 in a couple of hours and to 6 in four days.
I have a new technique I am using that not only helps the site I post to, but me as well. I use the ping feature on Technorati to immediate ping them about the comments I make on other people’s pages.
For example to ping this page specifically you would cut and paste http://bradstinyworld.com/?p=68 into the box on http://technorati.com/ping
After the ping Technorati will send out a spider to the page within a minute or two.
