Ranking The Post
November 17, 2007 3:19 pm Random General Brainstormed Thoughts!, Search Engine Optimization: SEOSpeaking about ranking posts, I also looked at whether getting links to the individual post pages can change the effect of ranking the post over the homepage.
So i thought about trying to figure out a way to easily get links for posts. Not easy. The best tool to do it is Auto Social Poster. It links from your bookmarking accounts to each post (you need to get the accounts setup on each site first). However, to get blog comments from ranked blogs, would be great as well.
So I came across this post by Jonathan Ledger, who is one of the few “guru-ish” guys that I don’t dislike lol. He’s a pretty smart fella and always has interesting stuff to say, and doesn’t endorse every product that comes down the pipe for commisisons sake. Plus he seems to be a pretty gifted progammer.
As you can see its about the blog links. I would love to have whatever script he has…. but he ain’t selling it ;-( However I got one on the warrior forum for $5 bucks that finds such urls. :-) I can use Iopus Internet Macros to post the comments automatically, so it’s almost as good, without the “comments spread out over time” thing.
Ironically, based on one searchI did on his blog, i think he suffers from the same fate i do/did with the blog post not ranking - even when he is the originator of the article… another site’s post ranks for the title of his post simply by quoting it… his site doesnt; only, you guessed it… the home page does. I think i figured out the way to overcome it… a few more tests will tell.

Okay,… I did make it.
I’m on the first page of G for this post alone.
Perfect i’m on the right track.
So the main secret has been narrowed down….due to… tadaa…
the sitemap plugin.

Looks like I got it!
Then i came across this little gem and I got it. and it references all the stuff I’ve been talking about, including dulicate content penalties for Wordpress!

An update to the comment by Jonathan Ledger:
I came up with this technique myself, but he discovered on his tests that using the keyword in the “name” fieldcauses less of the blog posts to “stick”.
Disappointing, but to be expected.
I do think there’s a anothr way to make it work though… seems like blog owners want you to sign your name and leave a comment, but what about a “clever” way to sign your name with the keyword link below it? :-)
