Blog-Tipping: It’s Reader Payback Time!

Posted in Blog-Tipping, Blogging, Search Engine Marketing, Web Design, WordPress by Douglas Karr at 10:14 pm

Happy New Year! Marketing Technology finds and reports on the latest technology that will enable your business to effectively market to your audience, for acquisition or retention strategies. Subscribe now the Marketing Technology Blog RSS feed or to the Marketing Technology Email to have new content sent directly to your inbox. You'll also find my other business blog helpful, Social Media Domination.

TippingLet’s not waste each others’ time! I want to help your blog or website quickly and efficiently AND you’ll get some link love on my blog.

That mention will drive traffic and help with your rankings in Technorati and the Search Engines. In order to do that, I’ve got to sneak up on your blog, and tip it!

How to get your Blog Tipped:

1. Mention my blog in your post, here’s the HTML:

2. Drop me a line in the comments of this post with a link to your post.

My promise: I’ll spend a couple minutes reviewing your layout, usability, SEO, and your latest posts to find something that will help tweak your website or blog. I’ll make an effort to make the tip unique to every blog or website rather than trying to wuss out and collectively ‘tip’ multiple blogs.

That’s it! Let’s get to blog-tipping!

Feel free to pass on this link to whomever you’d like.

How long is this offer valid? I’ve got some housework to do (no, I’m not going to try to craft some new work with ‘blog’ in it to describe the cleanup I have to do on my content :).

Hi André!

I’d love to provide some tips to a non-English blog. Sounds like a great challenge. I won’t judge the content, of course, but I’d love to look at the layout, structure, SEO, etc.!

Thanks!

It’s worth the work! What’s funny is that when I started, I really only wanted to do a single tip per blog - but I can’t help myself once I get started!

I am also interested in how to ramp up membership in the community and keep people coming back. BTW, I “pre-paid” a trip to your next visit to feed your caffeine addiction at Starbucks!

I am also adding your blog to our Feed Room located at http://www.mycatalyze.org/Blogs/CatalyzeBlogsFeedRoom/tabid/1301/Default.aspx.

Thanks for the tips I’ve already picked up from your interview with Paul Dunay.

Hello Doug; not sure that I did this right. Here is my blogtipping this month. I have shortened my blogtips down from when I initially began them; and they have become more mentioning another blog then actually handing them tips. I would be interested in whatever tips you can hand on to me.

Hi Douglas

There is a series of posts about social marketing metrics. I used your post here as a good example for boosting one’s Technorati Authority ranking. I am sure you get a smile out of it, see here:

http://commetrics.com/?p=30

Sometimes it is viral for sure but maybe not a collage - just business ;-)

Good work.
