It’s always productive to keep looking for blogroll links from fellow bloggers specially from blogs that are in the same niche as you. In this post I will use myself as an example, I emailed an owner of a blog in the same niche as me and asked for a link (no answer yet, since I just emailed her) and I found it kinda interesting the way I came to did all of that.
Yesterday, I posted my blog income report for the last month (may) as I usually do every month & that list was linked on other blogs like it always does, like in lists and other type of link love posts. I was listed in a list of bloggers at incomediary , In the list I found it kinda funny that Caroline beat me by 1$, so I thought why not just drop an email for a blogroll link (since I dont really give away my blog rolls easily to just anyone ). After I was done I started reading the list again and it made me realise that if I mailed her for a link because she has a great blog and is quite good at what she does too why can’t i mail others in the same list as well, they are in the same niche as me and they are successful as well, all the right reasons are there just waiting for me to pounce at em’ After going to a few sites on the list I saw a huge potential for some really strong backlinks and then I tried to figure out if it would work for other niches and blogs too, personally, I think this trick would work for just about anyone out there.
If you can find a top list of a sort online for your niche then I’d suggest contacting them for some link exchanging, never let a good chance for backlinks slip by ;).
Anyway, the top earners of May are (list by incomediary) :
I was just browsing the top blogger’s as usual to see what they are up to, sometimes I like to go to the actual site rather then just peek at it through my feed reader, Shoemoney, Problogger and Johnchow seem to be going down in alexa, this is a shocker for me because I’ve never seen this blogs drop out of the top 10k alexa, at the same time I’m kinda happy because my blog is growing, below are the traffic graphs for the blogs I’m talking about. Now, before anyone jumps the gun in assuming why I’m basing my opinion on alexa, well, everyone has their own way of measuring traffic and I know theres alotta hate out there about Alexa but none the less it’s a great traffic analyzer, I for one, depend on it quite alot
Well, I’ve mentioned this before as well so here is the new theme with tons of glitches and bugs (that I’ll workout, of course), there are going to be alot more new additions to blueverse then just the theme and the new type of ads, here is a list of the things that I’m working on currently.
Store (ebooks,scripts and more stuff to make money off of)
Services - I’ll be providing quite a few services related to wordpress development and marketing.
More Free Stuff - There’s gonna be alot more free stuff then there was before.
Alot more things, I’d rather keep this a surprise.
The new theme is still filled with bugs, bugs that I’ll fix as i find them, so please lemme know when you find something wrong with the template
I just saw this today, I know that this month I was actually earning more then other months because of my proper monetization but I didn’t know that 45n5 knew that, it was an odd surprise when i saw myself on the 15th spot at the list at 45n5
A high spot like that gives me and my content even more authority at google, this just means that I’m one step closer to a 4 figure monthly income. Theres alot more going on that’s going to strengthen blueverse even more in the future, the seo tactics I use don’t pay up right away but tehy are great in the long run and get even better as time passes by, I guess this is proof that it’s working, I’m earning more therefore I’m being ranked for it.
A few days ago I tried to be a little spontaneous and walk in the rain for quite a while and it ended up with me having a fever of 102, the last few days I’ve been resting and today I felt good enough to come online and make an update here. It’s gonna be 2-3 more days until I resume my regular posting routine. There are a few wordpress themes that I might release when i continue my regular routine soon.
I’m also thinking about starting up the other blogs that i own as well, the rest that I’ve had gave me time to think about my sites and which ones I should start back up again.
Well, it’s been quite hard for me atleast, this blog started growing really big time near the end of january and since then I wanted to see what would I get if I actively tried to get more RSS readers, after several offers of email and rss subscription I finally have more then 500 rss readers.
Well, I must be doing something right, I was ranked as the 5th top blogger under 21 at retire at 21.
All the hard work done by the following bloggers is a must-read, they aren’t on the top blogger’s list for nothing ya know, the blogs over at 45n5 are ranked by how much money they make solely but this list is made by the overall skills of a blog and it’s blogger. The blogs are ranked on several things such as content, readers, comments, authority, pagerank, techno rank, alexa rank and most importantly THEIR AGE.
The younger you are when you achieve success or recognition, the better!
And theres more, I’m ranking no.3 for blogging tips now as well
