Free Blogs Are Not Free

By Janet Lewison


Do follow blog plug-ins are installments that allow you to link back to anyone who leaves a quality comment on your blog. It goes vice versa too, so if you comment on a Do Follow weblog, search engines will be able to follow a link that redirects to your blog. This is something all internet marketers should know.

Giving your commentator a back link is the best way of rewarding them, and it's a great social marketing strategy. Also, by providing a large number of back links you will increase traffic on your blog and improve your search engine rank.

You won't have control over your blog, you won't have control over the domain, there may be ads on the blog that you don't get revenue from, and you must obey their policies and rules and so on. It's not yours. What happens if you violate a rule? Or they change the rules? Or decide they no longer want blogs about the stuff you blog about? Your site can get shut down in an instant. It happens.

Why are they Offered for Free? There is always a catch when something is offered for free and doubly so online. Why would anyone out there offer free service to anyone who wants them? It's not an inexpensive thing to do on a large scale. There are servers, employees, software, insurance, and security and so on just like any other business. So why are the free blog people giving these things away? It's simple.

They are going to make money from your efforts. It could be something as simple as by showing ads to your visitors. It could be they offer you a basic blog for free but for advanced or custom options they charge you. It could be they simply want all that data and web traffic. Think about it.

If you had hundreds of thousands or millions of blogs out there, that you controlled but other people worked hard to put their content on, you'd have one heck of a lot of data and traffic flow.

Your goal should be to follow a few different leaders within your niche. You should then, on a daily basis, leave comments on their blogs. This will start to get you noticed as someone who has an understanding of the subject you are commenting on. As a rule of thumb, it is a good idea to leave a good comment so that it appears you know what you are talking about. People will take notice and then start to visit your blog or sites. Bingo, and that is traffic....
