The Hybrid Blog and Ping

Copyright 2005 Keith Baxter

For the past two years, one of the best SEO inclusion
tactics was the use of blogs. Blogs have become a base
standard in SEO marketing, but as times change, so does the
efficacy of any tactic.

With that said what worked two years ago certainly isnt
the same thing thats working now. The worst part is that
uninformed marketers are still teaching the old methods of
SEO marketing with blogs to the masses.

In this article, you will be enlightened to the newest form
of SEO marketing with blogs.

Lets begin by eliminating a huge fallacy.

The blog and ping is a process by which you post a snippet
of information from your site to a blog (mainly
blogger.com) with a URL to your site included, and then
notify Yahoo that a post exists on this blog. The idea is
that your blog will be spidered quickly by both Google (due
to blogger.com) and Yahoo.

You only need to blog and ping a maximum of 10 pages from
your site. The entire purpose for doing this is to attract
search engines to your site and let them spider the rest of
your site on their own. You can equate this process to
renting links. You simply rent one link to your site in
order to get the spiders to visit your site.

Unfortunately money hungry marketers came along, didnt
understand the concept, and then took it upon themselves to
teach people that every page on your site required blogging
and pinging. To top it off, these same uninformed marketers
began teaching their followers that three pages should be
processed every 15 minutes.

The blog and ping isnt as effective as it was a year ago
because of these numbskulls.

With that said, it was time for the process to evolve. Its
efficacy was diminished due to misuse and misguided
education.

So where has it evolved to?

Its evolved into an organic blog that grows of its own.
This blogging system receives its data from remote sources
and posts on a consistent, yet infrequent basis. It pulls
usable and visitor friendly data from a variety of sources,
while still hosting the links you want found by the search
engines. This blog informs over 50 blog directories every
time an automated post is made, making it extremely
valuable to the search engine algorithms.

How is this accomplished?

First, you need Wordpress (http://wordpress.org) and RSS to
Blog (http://www.stealthtrafficsecrets.com/rsstoblog.html).
Once youve downloaded both of these, make sure you install
them.

Once installed, configure Wordpress per the instructions
found here:
http://www.stealthtrafficsecrets.com/wordpress-tricks/.

Second, create a list of links from your site which will be
used in this new hybrid blog and ping tactic. One of the
bonuses for RSS to Blog is a tool that does this
automatically for you.

Third, add these harvested links to the RSS to Blog system
and hit save. Set your cron to post out as often as you
like and youre done.

Thats it in a nutshell.

There are a couple of additional points I need to make,

First, when using RSS to Blog you also have the ability to
add additional data from other sources in order to make
your Wordpress blog readable by the masses.

Second, the Wordpress tricks book gives you the knowledge
to make your blog more search engine friendly as well as
providing a list of blog directories that are automatically
notified every time you make an entry.

With this tactic revealed, its my intention for you to
enjoy the quick search engine inclusion that comes as a
result of implementation.
