7) Blog Networks

Once you have established your blog and it has been indexed by the Bots, it is time for you to start building more blogs and external references which point back in to your main site.  So if you have established your main blog on an independently hosted Wordpress platform you will also create a blog in a similar theme on Blogger, Wordpress, Squidoo, Hubpages, Tumblr etc etc, each of these will have an RSS feed installed from your main blog platform which will result in inbound links from your ’sub-blogs’.

It is essential that any posts that are created on your main site are indexed by Google before you decide to copy them or re-write them to your ’sub-blogs’, this will alert duplicate content filters and Google will ultimately ignore the posts.

Try to write naturally on your sub-blogs but focus your main theme writing to the main blog, which will be seen as an authority in Googles eyes.  Use a service like Comment Kahuna to find other blogs in your niche and write constructive and meaningful comments on other blogs, this will result in relative inbound links to your main blog and possibly pass on Page Rank if no-no-follow is established.

How many blogs to create in your network depends upon the niche in which you are operating, it is important to be as random as possible in your structure and posting so that Google doesn’t sniff out your little plot for domination…Google loves natural!
