This post will be quick. I promise. Sort of. I know you 12 readers have better things to do than wade through my whining. So I have 5 blogs at WordPress.com that I am writing content for. All manners of stuff from entertainment, sports and gadgets. Just BS really. I’ve mentioned that I am getting ranked highly for many of my posts. To that you say, so what? Nobody will search for the keyword you are ranked for.
Well here’s the deal: Everyday that goes by I am building a better long tail keyword list that is becoming quite valuable. Remember that post from Griz about trolling through your keyword phrases for more stuff to write about? I did that for a while too and now I’m doing it with WordPress.com. And instead of having to log in to Aweber stats I simply look on the WP dashboard for the keyword stats for that blog.
It’s the same with Squidoo too. The keyword stats are very valuable. They just keep on building up and the more you use them the more other keywords will come into play. Know what I mean?
Where do I get new post ideas? Mostly for these blogs I do Trend Blogging. Whatever is hot for the moment. I look through some of my favorite blogs and news sites to see what is hot and blog it. WordPress is quick to go into Google’s index so I get ranked pretty fast for that topic. And I use Frank’s Link Luv Post Builder to get a few pingbacks and additional content.
It’s fun.

Wordpress.com “Link Luv” posts are great for getting that pesky BANS, blogger blog or other niche site indexed. Just stick your site in with a list of 5 or more related, known, authority sites and off GoogleBot will go to your site. 60% of the time it works, every time.
For quick indexing, i still prefer the old PING, it still result like a charm. Every site i make, i ping, and bamm, site indexed in a few days.
Dinheiro – I’ve had some problems getting the old “blog and ping” method to work. Eventually you get indexed but it can be up to 3-4 weeks these days. Having the WordPress.com link seems to speed things up a lot.
Frank, what service are you using? I’m still indexed in 2-3 days. Yesterday for instance i had on new blog indexed in just 12h
Dinheiro – Was it .info or .com, pre-owned or not?
I’ve mainly had problems with .info and Blogger blogs getting indexed. I use the same 12 or so ping services that I’ve always used.
What ping service are you talking about? Is it the settings -> writing -> update services in WP?
How do I know that it’s working?
Thanks,
Dave
