I'm New to Yakezie... Now What? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

 I suggest you build up your connections with other Yakezie members. That certainly will bring in a lot of traffic for your blog. Follow their RSS, and comment on their blogs. If you're looking for making money off your blog, then build a high pr, because advertisers mostly care about pr. You can build a high pr by guest blogging on other Yakezie blogs, which coincidentally, also brings in a lot of traffic. If you're new to blogging, then prepare to take a long time to build a successful blog. I built mine real fast, but only because I had already been in the blogosphere for already 1 year. Don't quit when the going gets tough.

PR actually stands for Pagerank.  It's your search engine authority in the eyes of Google.  An important yet fickle rank.  Another ranking to look at is your mozrank.  These are numbers that probably wont update for quite some time, like months down the road.  It took me 4 months of blogging prior to establishing a pagerank.  You will get there, you just need to consistently stick with your blogging routine.

I would say that in the beginning you need to do a lot of commenting on Yakezie blogs.  We will hit up your blog in return and your Alexa ranking will drop quickly.  From there, keep building content and your search engine hits will continue to grow.  Lastly, visit these forums to interact and network, look for tips etc.  I went from a couple of hits a day to building a relatively successful blog in the past 6 months just by networking with all of my fellow Yakezie.

Thanks so much… as you can tell by my lack of "pr" knowledge, I'm a complete newbie!  So, I really appreciate your ideas/comments.  I'm bookmarking every Yakezie person I interact with to visit them and help too!  I'll keep plugging away… did you see anything on my site you liked/disliked?  I'm always open to suggestions.

:) welcome! I'm sure you'll find great interaction with Yakezie members, especially those that talk about stocks (Investorzblog, MissWallStreet, just to name a few…)

Thanks… actually, if it wasn't for this network, I wouldn't know they existed.  I've already enjoyed visiting their sites this morning and look forward tonight to visiting again.

 

Cheers!

Basically you should be visiting the websites/blogs in your group everyday. Since you have the Alexa toolbar installed, that will benefit those blogs improve their Alexa ranking and since they will visit you, you will see your rankings improve as well.

You should selflessly comment on their posts, promote their work on Twitter, Facebook etc.

I have already seen my Alexa ranking improve.

I can tell you that these guys and gals are great (really everyone I've "met" in the PF circles has been).  You will feel right at home, and not like some clique in high school.  My only regret was not joining sooner.

 

Great, thanks Eric.  I could really use some help in redesigning my site… I'm wondering if anyone out there would recommend someone to assist?  I'm not able to pay hundreds… so I'm not sure what I can do.

You're getting some good feed back here, so I'll just add my 'welcome'. You'll find this a great group to be a part of.

Thanks… nice to meet you.

Welcome…just be consistent and take it slow.

 

Most blogs die within 6 months, that is the reason there is at least a 6 month waiting period to become a member, don't burn out!

 

Thanks for the welcome and advice.  I've been "blogging" for over a year… but just decided it was time for just me, my dog, and my extended family to read what I've been writing.  I'd decided to make it a passion, not merely a hobby.  Feel free to take a look and tell me what you think…. I'm always looking for ideas.

 

Cheers.
