If you cannot afford a review from ReviewMe then Review Back may be useful to you. The boys from AdGridWork have came up with a system which im suprised hasn’t been done before now.

In short, Review Back is a review exchange system whereby you write a review of another blog in exchange for a review of your blog on theirs. By browsing the bloggers listings you’ll see they have close to 100 blogs who have signed up to use them already. I can see this surpassing 1000 blogs within the next 2 months.

Clearly, Review…

Nick Mazza from AdGridWork about me testing out his new text link exchange network and posting a review. As you all know, im still currently travelling and the most i can really do most days is quickly check my emails and the blog etc. However, i want to bring the site to readers attention and more importantly, i want some honest reviews about the network be it good or bad.

When you publish one of your posts your blogging software should notify some ping services that you have added more content to your blog. There are numerous pinging services on the web.

  2. Your blog notifies one or more pinging services
  3. the pinging service then lets blog search engines know that there is new content on your blog

By default, Wordpress only uses one service to ping your site. Namely Pingomatic. You can see the address http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ in the blog admin…

There are loads of blog communities where you can vote for your favourite blogs. I thought i would bring attention to two of the most popular sites - FuelMyBlog and Spicy Page.

Both of these sites work very in a similar way to Digg. You place an image on your blog to vote for your blog like the image to the right.

Fuel My Blog

FuelMyBlog reminds me of those million dollar websites that sprung up a year or so ago - you know the ones where you had to buy an ad on the…

The best thing I ever did to improve my technorati rank on Facibus On Blogging was to enter a writing competition. I know that most of the links are just reciprocal “spreading the love” swaps, but I have more RSS subscribers as a result, and more traffic through to my other blogs.

Like guest blogging, entering writing competitions can get you great bang for your effort buck.

The hard way to blog is to write a heap of low-quality material - the smart way is to write memorable posts that give…

John Chow talks about how hard it can be to get recognition as a new blogger.

When John told the story of Blogging Tips, I had a look. It is my kind of blog - full of practical advice. I was fairly happy when Kevin said that I could guest blog here (and if you are interested, find out how you can too).

It seems appropriate that my first post on Blogging Tips should be about guest blogging.

My friend Steve Collins has a fairly well rated blog. Not to take…
