Updated The Free Blog Reviews Post – Looking For More Bloggers
So I noticed recently that I was getting a lot of hits lately from the search engines about free blog reviews. So I went to the post just to make sure most of the links were still working or not. Low, and behold many of the sites listed either stopped doing the free blog reviews or were even stopped blogging completely.
Anyways to make a long story short I updated the Free Blog Reviews post so go check it out if your are looking for places to get your blogged linked to for free. Some of the sites do them for free, or require a reciprocal link back.
Also it looks like the list has dwindled down to about 11 or so bloggers, so if you do free blog reviews then leave me a comment or contact me.

What happens when you get bored of fixing alignments in posts after you transfer you blog? You start humming nonsensical music from Otis while thinking of SEO tags for each page. The result? I recommend you cover your ears.

16 Free Blog Reviews to Raise Your Presence and Authority
No I don’t do blog reviews, and I don’t think I ever will. Regardless of how much money you can make via doing blog reviews via Review Me, Smorty or other venues. I won’t even mention the name of one, due to the fact that some people got hit with a Page Rank penalty for even mentioning their company. I’m not one to give professional advice on how a site should look or what it should change. However there are a good amount of sites that do all this, and currently for free. Some may require a link back others not. Check out their other reviews to see if its right for you.

Sweet I Earned Money From Squidoo
Remember back in October I wrote about making two pages on Squidoo? Well I just wanted to post an update since I logged in recently just to check how things have been going with those pages.
I had a nice big rush of traffic from Google at the beginning since it was a newly created page, and then the SERP went down slowly no visitors a day after about two weeks or so. That’s the Google engine for you, giving new engines good ranking for a day or so after release. Then sticking it into the infamous sandbox. I don’t blame them though, the site only has nine back links so I’m still surprised that its even getting hits at the moment.
Anyways it looks like Yahoo finally indexed the page recently, and I’m seeing a steady steam of visitors daily from that search engine now for the keyword free 3d mmorpg. The other one I have for Team Fortress due to all the clan sites, and gaming site promotions isn’t fairing well. This stream of people looks like its also pushing the Squidoo rankings back up as well. At its peak in October my Metin 2 site had around a 1400 ranking. This was just from being indexed in Google initially. Until recently I think the site has been sitting in the 25,000th position, but climbing back thanks to Yahoo Search to a currently around 9k. On Google for that term I don’t even show up in the top 50. On Yahoo my site shows up as #4. How you like them Apples now?
Since Squidoo does the payments about a month out I finally get to see what type of money comes in from just having two pages. (well I’m just going to count one since the Team Fortress page doesn’t bring in anything).
A nice sum of [drum roll please]: $2.07
Not bad, for a single page with only 9 backlinks, most of that being my own blog with the rest from my re-syndicated on some splog or rss sites. I think its especially good when the top earning lenses only earn about $10 from Squidoo.(they earn the rest via affiliate advertising) I think I should go back an maybe change a few things on that web page to help it out. And Yes there is an affiliate link on the site for the Metin 2 page I made on Squidoo. Also even if not many people visit the site, I’ve had 363 clicks outgoing clicks logged. Meaning this is a great free site to get pre-sell visitors to your affiliate links. I’ll have to take a look at this site again to make some landing pages for more Clickbank offers I think. Its definitely cheaper than paying for 300 clicks via Adwords.
If you haven’t made a Squidoo lens yet, sign up for one. At the very least to create a nice back link to your website for keywords on Yahoo, that you can’t quite rank well on Google with.

RssHugger Some Lovin For Your Feed
Last month I mentioned that I was going to try to add myself to more directories to generate visitors for this blog. On my list was to submit my blog to directories which bring me back to the subject of this post. RssHugger.
What is RssHugger?
Lets take a look at their about page.
“rssHugger is a unique website that aims to bring bloggers and readers together. rssHugger aims to provide blog owners with a unique easy-to-use way to promote their blogs by sending them traffic, building backlinks for search engine optimization, as well as attracting new rss subscribers if the content is interesting to the reader.”
Why should I join now?
Its FREE now, previously rssHugger was a pay to join directory. (you may still join by paying $20 if you wish to skip the write a post about rssHugger part of application, and receive a manual review).
What are the benefits to me as a blogger?
Besides just a directory how does it help get me more traffic?
The more visitors you send to your rssHugger page, the higher you will rank on the Top 100 page. To keep everyone on an even playing field, the Top 100 blogs page resets everyone back to zero on the 1st of every month. This will allow those that actively participate or promote their page on rssHugger to receive much more promotion in return.
How does one send visitors to their rssHugger page?
Your page has the following address:
www.rssHugger.com/YourBlog.com
For example my page there would is:
http://www.rsshugger.com/moneyne-ws.blogspot.com
So if you go to my page you raise monthly votes by 1, which will then hopefully raise me up a rank or two in the listings.
A free service that gives you backlinks to your posts, and more exposure for your blog. If you think that’s a good deal, sign up with rssHugger now.
