Browsing Category: "Blogging for Traffic"
You know how I know someone’s stealing your Top Commentator’s link? I constantly catch people doing it on my blog and then I do some research to backup up my theory with hard evidence. Well, it seems people have found a loophole to the Top Commentator’s Wordpress plugin and they simply benefit from it. Of course, when someone benefits from it another person gets their benefit taken away from them. Let’s work on getting this problem fixed.
How To Steal Someone’s Top Commentator’s Link
This information is only for educational use to build awareness and not intended on promoting hijacking of links.
For the record, I think this is unethical and a very cheap way of stealing someone elses’ work of commenting with their thoughts. But to do it, essentially you would find a name on someone’s “Top Commentator” list and simply comment using the same exact name and just enter in your website information.
Of course, that same person will probably be back to comment again but say it took them 20 comments to make it on the list, all the hijacker has to do is comment once and then they’ll be on the list in no time. Now all the hijacker has to do is just make a new comment after the original commentator makes another one.
Example of A Top Commentator Hijacker (With Proof!)
I’ve seen this done before, by accident and on purpose. You can hijack by accident if someone comments with their generic name. For instance, if I commented with “Jason” or “Jay”, I’m sure I’m not the only ones with that name that could possibly have commented. Though, some people obviously steal and hijack on purpose.
Here’s an example:
As you guys know from my last post How to Get Listed in Google News, one of my sites was accepted into Google News and the very next day that our articles was actually indexed, our traffic spiked instantly. Honestly, I don’t think it’s going to go back down as long as we continue posting.
Before I continue, if there are any authors who are interested in joining our team then feel free to drop me a note. We do have Adsense revenue sharing which appears on your individual posts. Though, to be fair to our current team members, you would have to post 10 posts before you are able to add your Adsense information.
Our site was running for a little over a month before we were accepted into Google News. We were building links and our traffic was steady but not extremely impressive. I think we eventually starting averaging around 100 visitors daily with a mix coming from search engines and other websites. The day after our site got indexed in Google News and our posts started showing up our traffic spiked to around 3,200.
Was this a fluke? I wouldn’t say it’s a fluke because if we post consistently like we should be doing then I would say the traffic should continue to climb.
The interesting part of all of this is every post that I manage to write gets instant traffic. And when I say “instant”, I mean we would probably get at least 100 visits to that one post within a couple of minutes, if not more.
Of course, it depends on the topic and if its actually appealing to readers and if its being searched for.
I know a few thousand unique visitors isn’t much to brag about but that number was based on the first day which I think is a very good stepping stone. It’s definitely far from the 50k daily but small steps will eventually get you where you want to be. 
Anyways, that was just a simple update in case you guys were interested.
How To Get Listed In Google News – If you guys have been following this blog for at least the last month or so, then you would have read my post How I Plan On Getting Accepted Into Google News. Well, it is official, one of my sites got accepted! (Not DatMoney)
It was a little bit of a relief but this morning I received an e-mail from “The Google Team” that started off like:
Hi Jason,
Thank you for your note.
Great news! This message is to confirm that we’ve reviewed and added your site to Google News. The inclusion of your articles should be processed within the next few days. Please retain this message and refer to it should you have any issues with your site in Google News.
Of course, the rest of the e-mail went into technical stuff that I need to do to make sure my articles are getting picked up.
So, what did I do to get accepted into Google News? Well, if you didn’t read my previous post that I linked to above, here’s a quick overview on what I did.
I have been thinking about this for quite sometime now but I’m still unsure if I should actually start a Youtube channel for DatMoney. As you guys know vlogging is really popular and if you know how to pull the right strings, it can work wonders. And when I say wonders I mean to say you’ll get a lot of subscribers (for your Youtube channel and blog), lots of traffic to your individual site as well as many a good amount of money.
Why Start A Channel On Youtube? Benefits?
Technically, I already have a personal one but I don’t use it. I think I created one years ago but forgot about it. But why should I start one for DatMoney? Well, there are a number of reasons and a big part of it is to take my blog to the next level.
If you’re an internet entrepreneur, you find ways to expand your business, take advantage of the opportunities that are in front of you as well as experiment on what works and what doesn’t. For instance, everyone takes advantage of social media sites like Digg and Reddit, social networking sites like Facebook of Twitter and social video sites like Youtube.
How I Plan To Get Accepted Into Google News - Before I go through the details on how I plan on getting into Google News, I’m actually referring to one of my other sites and not DatMoney. I wouldn’t attempt to try to get DatMoney into Google News simply because this blog isn’t news related.
I have a relatively new site which is focused on entertainment type stuff. Of course, the site covers more than just that but the main theme surrounding it is entertainment. The reason why I started this site is to get included into Google News as well as blog about things I’m interested in, work with a team and hopefully make some good money along with it.
But in addition to that, it’s always good learning the process and gaining knowledge and experience in case I try to do this with another site.
Why Google News?
There’s a couple of simple reasons why. Obviously, Google is the majority of the internet and just getting into Google News would help just about any site spike in traffic on a daily basis… If you do it right. Basically, our team will focus on blogging on main topics people are searching for on a regular basis.
