Commenting and Guest Posts to Build SEO

Google now takes into account social interactions when it comes to searches and page rank. These social interactions can be anything from tweets to comments on a blog. This is good news for anyone hoping to increase their search engine optimization (SEO). Simply being active on social media sites and blogs can help you be found with a simple search. Take advantage of two easy ways to do this with blogging and websites.

Comment on Other Blogs

Commenting on other blogs has always helped to spread your site and name around in hopes someone will click your comment. Now with Google encouraging social sharing when it comes to search results, your comments also help to bump you and your site up in search results.

To reap this benefit, comment on blogs and sites often and try to comment on many different sites, but be sure to be relevant and really try to engage in conversation. Spam-like comments and link blasts are usually filtered or removed by blog owners, so be sure to stay on topic. After you comment, share on Twitter that you’ve commented to drive people back to it and increase hits and SEO for yourself.

Guest Posts

Guest posts are simply when you share a post on a blog or site that is not your own. They increase SEO by sharing you, your site and your contributions over multiple sites. They also create backlinks. Be sure to post under your name and list your website to ensure these posts will help your SEO. How do you get chance to get post? Take advantage of those comments you leave on blogs, if you follow a blog often and interact in the comments they may be open to you sharing a post on their site. You can also set up a guest post system within your team to help everyone benefit from the increase SEO.

Your Top Webinar Question from February 28th

Leave a comment

We got some great basic questions this webinar, but one question stuck out in particular, so we are sharing it here. This question was answered live, to hear it visit: www.gdiwebinars.ws and scroll to the February 28th webinar.

Q: In the beginning, how do people overcome the problem of not having yet ‘made it’ using this program? I have no credibility yet for this program and can’t answer some basic questions. How do I address this?

A: It’s important that once you join with GDI you take the time to learn exactly how GDI works and how you can be successful. The best way to do this is to reach out to your upline. The GDI affiliate program works so that every new affiliate has a sponsor, or upline, above them. Ideally this person has been with GDI a good amount longer than you and has had some success. This is who you should reach out first with your questions about GDI and establishing credibility. Your upline should be able to offer you their tips for success and help you to duplicate it. This will help you to answer the basic questions people are asking you. If you are unsure who your upline is and how to contact them head to Members Area> Upline for this information.

Secondly, you can use your upline to establish credibility. Share why you signed up with them, their successes and how you are an important part of the team. Many GDI members make their own videos, blog posts and tutorials, see if you upline has these and ask if you can share them. You can also work to build your own credibility with videos. Simply share what you know. Maybe you’re still learning with GDI, but are a WordPress expert, share that information in a video. Any valuable information you can share via video will help to establish credibility and create a level of comfort for people considering GDI.

Lastly, if you have questions or are unsure of how to do certain things with GDI, like use the Inviter of get started with SiteBuilder, check out our Tutorials section in the Members Area. Simply login at www.wesbite.ws/members and navigate Members Area>Tutorials. These videos work to show you step by step how to get started with GDI and many of it’s tools.
