8 Ways to Build Links to Your Blog 2007-08-05 16:47:00 This is a non-gaming related article. Todays reviews are featured below this article.8 Ways to Build
Links to Your Blog Write At Least One Post Per Day: To achieve maximum blog exposure, you should post anywhere from one to several times a day. This will ensure your site always has fresh content, and will keep visitors coming back for more. Multiple daily posting also increases the probability that you’ll be linked to by other sites. If you’re too busy too post once a day, instead of making full-fledged articles, write short and pithy posts. If, right now, you can only write two articles per week, on the days you don’t post these articles, publish shorter posts that still provide valuable content. I suggest writing short step-by-step posts, quotations from other bloggers in your field, a “site-of-the-week” post (this can also be used for link trading; see suggestion #8), and summarizing news articles and other bloggers work. Let Others Use Your Work: Crea

Blog Challenge: Increase Your Technorati Authority By 300 In 30 Days! 2007-08-04 17:00:00 (This is a non-gaming related post. Today's review can be found here.)Here’s an interesting challenge we can all participate in so that everyone can accomplish the same goal: Increase your TechnoratiAuthority
By 300 In Only One Month! (It will also help you improve your backlinks as the new Google PageRank update is right around the corner) How will it be done? Technorati authority is measured by how many different blogs have linked to your blog in the last six months. Of course, if one particular blog links to you 20 times, it will only count as +1 for your authority- which is good because the goal here is not to link farm your blog everywhere and penalize yourself in the search engines. This works similarly to a blogroll, only easier. The list below starts with SiteFever.com linking to BlueJar.com. Add your site to the list and who you want to link to, then pass the list on. If you want to be extra nice, you can even link to more than one blog. Each blog that posts this list afte Read more:Challenge

"Risque" Emma "Hermione Granger" Watson Picture 2007-08-14 00:37:00 Prescript:All right, I recognize that this post has absolutely nothing to do with gaming, and considering the fact that I'm posting on "The Daily Online Gaming Review Blog", this may be a little off-topic.All right, I recognize that this post may or may not be classified as terribly offensive, and my credibility will be ruined by writing it.All right, I recognize that all the women, children, and effeminate men will slap me for posting this.All right, I recognize that this may or may not breach every copyright and intellectual copyright law I know of.But then again, appealing to the lonely, "nerd class" readers is a good thing too, as i am almost certain that this post will become blog-bait because of the "risque" aspect, and that it will be frequently re-published due to its controversial nature.Content:So I was browsing the photo galleries at some Emma Watson
