Building A Stumble / Digg Team Via Messenger! Join Us!'

Mystery — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:11:41 -0500

Hello everyone,

Would like to propose to you something that would make it easier for us to stumble and digg our sites....

I'm trying to build a network to work via messenger, enabling us to digg and stumble with ease...

You can add as contact any of my below addresses to your fav messenger:

mystery_digg_stumble[at]yahoo.com

first_ruler[at]hotmail.com

mysteryautoincome[at]gmail.com

Telling which site (digg and/or stumble) you are a member of and wish to work with, and stating your nickname in that site... all in the "add contact" process... I'll then swap with you the addresses of my other friends and we can work together easily without the restriction of the digg and the stumbleupon sites....

Cheers!

Digg mine,then I will Digg urs'

Technorati Rank - How to quickly improve i t.'

jdaynger — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:41:10 -0600

Okay, so I thought I'd just begin a new discussion dedicated to Technorati's ranking/authority system.

Without wasting anymore time, let's just jump right into the ways to improve it.

What technorati looks for is backlinks, as we've established. Now, they say that they won't count any backlinks from the same url, or subdomain... but you'll soon learn otherwise.

Objective:
What we need to do is ping Technorati with as many URLs as possible. These URLs will be from my blog or site as well as any other blog or site containing my URL.

First:
We need a tool to see all of our internal links. For instance, I have http://www.openjason.com and http://www.openjason.com/2008/01/22/joomla-15-is-now-stable/, etc.

That tool is: LinkSleuth. You can find LinkSleuth here: http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html#Download

After you download and install, you simply type in your URL and it generates a complete link structure of your blog or site, and is exportable. So, export to a Tab separated file...

Second:
If you know of any blogs or sites that have you on their blogroll (or your URL on every page of their site), LinkSleuth that site too. So, if I’m on your blogroll, I’d get every link your site outputs…

Third:
Find all current backlinks, or blogs/sites that already link to you. There’s several sites that help you to do this. But I found that XinuReturns give me the information I need to have. Basically xinureturns checks your site for authority, del.ici.ous links, PR, backlinks, etc… Run xinureturns against your blog or site. You’ll see how many backlinks you have according to Google, Yahoo, etc… However you choose to get a list of all your backlinks will work just fine… I suggest going to the Yahoo backlinks simply because you can easily export all of your backlinks to a tab separated file, which is what we’re working with anyway.
Link to XinuReturns: http://xinureturns.com/

Now what?

Okay, now that we’ve compiled a list of hundreds, or thousands of links, we need to get the “pinged.” How do we do this? Well, there’s a couple of ways…

1. http://sebastians-pamphlets.com/increase-your-technorati-reputation/ - this tool allows you to submit several URLs at the same time. This is an excellent tool, so cheers to our friend Sebastian.
2. A little more complex way to do it… and without bogging down other peoples servers is to use the Imacros extension for firefox. If you go this route, all you need to do is open the Imacros console, choose the “#current.iim” file, tab over to EDIT the file, which will open Notepad, and then enter all of your links like this:

URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://peppe-garibaldi.stumbleupon.com/tag/open-source/
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://jasontmartinez27.stumbleupon.com/tag/web-design/
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://www.sleepdynamictherapy.com/category/sleep-drugs/
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://www.webanalyse.fr/webanalyse/index.php?detail=all
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://www.sleepdynamictherapy.com/category/sleep-apnea/
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://jasontmartinez27.stumbleupon.com/tag/albuquerque/
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://jasontmartinez27.stumbleupon.com/tag/open-source/
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://joelm-citycenter.stumbleupon.com/tag/open-source/
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://www.webanalyse.fr/webanalyse/index.php?Top=200305
URL GOTO=http://www.technorati.com/ping/?url=http://www.webanalyse.fr/webanalyse/index.php?Top=200102

What we’re doing here is pinging technorati in an automated way, but as if we were doing it manually. If you’re even slightly familiar with Excel, you’ll easily be able to get all of your links to look like this. I have an Excel Template that will do this for you easily and quickly. Let me know if you want it. All you do is copy/paste your URLs in the opened Notepad document. Very easy to do.

Now, all you do is sit and wait. You’ll ping technorati with tons of URLs, many in which won’t be discovered by Technorati, therefore it’s NEW content as far as their concerned.

You can also do several other things that will really help…
For one, as your stumbling around, take note of blogs your run into. Drop off a comment or two on random posts, frequently. Once you make a comment, make sure that your comment is published (sometimes you’ll see that it needs to be moderated) and grab the URL of the post. Now, go to http://www.technorati.com/ping and enter that URL. Hopefully you made your comment on the post before Technorati discovers it. If so, you’ll see some Technorati love… because you’ll have a site linking to you.

As I’m stumbling, I always look at the blog’s ranking on Alexa and Compete, using the firefox extension called “searchstatus,” found here: http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/
If the blog in which I’m commenting has a good rank, I’ll leave a comment. If not, I’m more likely to skip over it. To be honest, I should just leave a comment everywhere… it’s probably a better route to go… Why? Well, because a lot of times, the less known blogs haven’t had their posts discovered by Technorati… therefore, you comment on them, then get them discovered, just in time to enjoy the Backlink Love!

Also... as far as gaining more FAVS... I believe this to help a little bit, but not as much as the backlinks. Either way, click this link to add openjason to your FAVS... Thanks!

Traffic Building'

jdaynger — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 06:58:56 -0600

Okay guys... As you know, we're all about getting more traffic to our sites, right? And how do we do that? Well, I'm going to discuss many ways of increasing your traffic and ranking using SM (Social Media) over the next couple of days, or weeks. I call this SMM, or SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING.

Please note... 1. This is a discussion, not a tutorial. 2. let's remember that we're not discussing SEO (Search Engine Optimization)... we're talking SMM. Although SEO and SMM can, and will tie into one another...

Increase of traffic will improve rank. Improved Rank will increase traffic. So what's first, and why? It's like: What came first the chicken or the egg?
Rank: Technorati, Alexa, Compete

Here's what's on my plate for topics... This list will be updated to include several additional topics. Anyone have topics, please Speak!

1.) Social Media Memberships... activity is key. Why is it important to participate in several Social Media Sites? Activity builds validity and credibility. Validity and Credibility builds traffic. (more on this...)

2.) Technorati. Who are these guys and why the hell do I care? Technorati plays a big part (okay huge part) in the blogging world. What's authority, why do I need it?
*I'll discuss how to drastically improve your blog's ranking on technorati... instantly. OpenJason is currently in the low 100,000s... but a couple of weeks ago, I was at around a 350,000 ranking. I went from 350k to 70,000, now I've leveled out at 116,000 (+/-)... I foresee ranking under 100k (with stability) in the next week or so.

3.) Building backlinks... then exploited the newly create link(s) to improve authority.

4.).....

5.).....

Who's on board? Before I continue, can get a quick shout? .. just to make sure I'm not wasting my time, or yours! :0)

Welcome to the Social Media Group'

jdaynger — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:10:42 -0600

I wanted to start this group because everything has become "social media." Whether you're here to meet 'n' greet or monetize, social media connects you with the resources to make money and/or new friends...

That being said, this is a good place to share YOUR resources, thoughts, friends, and clicks.
