Today I spent an hour deleting comments. The entire time it drove me nuts. Your skills at getting links to stick to a Do Follow Blog are terrible. Very few of you even have a clue!

Well today is the day you learn how to get your comments to stick to a Do Follow Blog.

Items you need for this assignment are:

• A money site you drive the traffic to
• A few profiles on social media sites
• A collection of "Do Follow" blogs
• The common sense "not" to spam a Do Follow Blog

Quality traffic is your goal, but to get there you need to study "Do Follow Psychology."

I know I am going to get a lot of heat from the anti-spam community because they never read what they complain about. This post really is not about spamming comment forms. It is how to become a valuable contributor to someone’s blog. This in turn will make it easy for all of your comments to stick and the bloggers will actively request your participation. I know the title is totally misleading. If you are truly looking to spam a Do Follow Blog, good luck, it just is not worth the time.

Something you need to know about a Do Follow Blog, the bloggers that manage them are fanatical about commenting. This is a good thing. They read every comment and if you are even close to spammy they will delete your comment without hesitation. The closest thing I can relate to a Do Follow Blogger would be the relationship an organic gardener has to their garden. Think about how much time an organic gardener puts into their garden. Would you like to be the rabbit that sneaks into their plot of green leafy goodness, or the friendly delivery guy that brings fresh steaming loads of fertilizer? The spam button can have the same effect as Mr. McGregor’s shotgun! They can kill your site by reporting you to every anti-spam forum they frequent just as easily as they can accept your comment.

I would much rather be the delivery guy that brings a fresh load of fertilizer. The question is how do you get your fertilizer into the garden? Do you think that the Gardener lets just any delivery guy into his garden? No! The Gardener will only allow someone that they trust to get past their white picket fence.

If I were a delivery guy with a wheelbarrow full of fresh steaming fertilizer, I would do everything I could to become friends with every local gardener in my area. Let’s relate that to every Do Follow Blogger in your niche. What do you think would make a niche Do Follow Blogger want to be friends with you? Maybe start with a few submissions to the popular social media sites? As time grows and the Do Follow Blogger gets to know you, add a comment to one of their posts. But before you do that, I hope you have created an about page on your money site that you want to link to. On this page add plenty of information about yourself and link out to your social media profiles.

Do Follow Blogs are not the place to use a keyword anchor text link. Trust me, if you do add one, it will be deleted before the fertilizer cools. Only a few of us keep some of the comments that have keyword anchor text links. Use your name that you use on your profiles, and link out to your about page, and only add links in the form the fields provided. Do not add links into the body of your comments. If you have written your about page well, it will link out to many of your money pages. If you have written a truly good comment and if you are one of the first to comment on that post, the Do Follow Blogger will keep your link and you will see traffic directly from that comment for a long time to come.

This brought me to the inspiration of how could I create an emotional linkbait that would still motivate active users of social media to create a return of emotional investment by way of social recognition.

The experiment was a success in my opinion. It helped me to get to know several readers of the Collective-Thoughts blog much better than I would have if I were to have written a white paper about the intricacies of linkbait instead of showing the over all results. It also helped me, or should I say it pulled me out of one roll many have seen me in and placed me into an entire new position in their mind. By letting my guard down and describing a moment in my life I connected with a few more readers!

I am not going to discuss the over all numbers, the unique views, or how long each reader stayed. I will say I have been very surprised at the turnout and the results I have accumulated.

To sum things up for today. If you posted a review of my last post on Collective-Thoughts, check your StumbleUpon email in the coming days as I will follow up with the reviews of your sites very soon.

Thank you again for making my day that much more interesting.

I have used PDF’s for some time to get my sites indexed across multiple search engines. Today Tim Nash has let the world know his results and they are very interesting if you are creating content sites and wish to get your content indexed.

How long before we have a new company selling reviews in their PDF directory?

So let’s not waste anymore of your time, click on over to his blog and see his results on PDF’s.

Oh and while you are there be sure to subscribe to his RSS feed.

The past few weeks I have been very quiet about what I am up to. Looks like the secret is about to be unleashed. The past couple years I have followed how social media has grown into a 800 pound gorilla. I have joined nearly every social media related site and complied what I like most about each one. Now the time has come for me to let everyone know what is on the horizon.  In the following weeks I will slowly introduce you to OurSocieties.

OurSocieties is a new social network and social news voting site that centers around the view that there are many niches that interconnect each of us.

Please be patient as we release each of our features over the following weeks as we are opening up in true beta format. But do tell me what you like and also dislike about social media as it will only help us grow. My goal is to be as transparent in the creating of OurSocieties as I can for the benefit of us all.

What I asking everyone that uses social media sites, if you were to launch your own site what would you want most?

As a someone writing for SEO purposes I liked long copy over short for one simple reason. They had more text to get indexed. I could hit a much wider Long Tail with Long Copy over Short Copy.

Now as I look back at my work form the past two years, I notice that I have neglected to follow my original motives and began writing shorter and shorter copy. This has also hindered my focus from SEO and made social media more important than ever.

Even this post has very few keyword phrases, this will hinder the results of Long Tail keyword phrases from being found in the search engines. I still like keyword stuffing when ever possible, as long as it looks natural.

I should be writing more posts like this very cool post over on SEO Space, Top 100 Marketing Buzzwords for 2008. They are able to add many great keyword phrases to their post and make it fit very well.

Things are heating up over on the Collective Thoughts blog. We are hosting a Social Media Ninja contest and throwing stars are flying and a Social Media Ninja will soon be selected.

But before contest is completed, we want you to voice you opinion on who really would benefit from wining this contest. It may not be the person that is most popular. It may be the person least known of all. It is up to you to decide.

To learn more about these amazing Social Media Ninjas go to the Collective Thoughts blog and join in on the fun with a comment on who you like the most!

My take on the subject is not to post empty posts. Recently I have been working on the release of a new site, so I am breaking my silence with this post. What is your take on posting just to post?

I also would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

First, I think it’s a pleasure to write on this search engine blog.  Writing on your own wall can be fun, but it’s a nice break to write on someone else’s wall. Search engines are a popular median and should be paid attention too. However, advertising existed before search engines and people that were in advertising 10 years ago have an advantage – and can be learned from.

Image is something, a photo can psychologically influence visitors decision making. I remember a few studies of this as well, but an image won’t do much more than that. It won’t influence the person to spread the message of your company or site.

Two friends are talking and they are discussing a site they found on the web. One says to the other, what is that site? More than likely, they will just quote your description of the site. Why should they have to think more about it, then necessary? So what is that company about? Oh, it’s a place you can save on car insurance. 

Your site’s description or slogan is pretty important. People don’t really want to think about where they are at, and what the purpose of the site is. Just explain it to them simple. Know your purpose, know your message, and look good. Search engines are a source of visitors. A way people can find your home on the web. If people don’t quickly understand what the site is about, then they will forget and may not return and won’t tell their friends. Give your site a purpose and know your site’s purpose.
