Content and Links.

Out of the two, you can get first page rankings using links alone, you can not do the same with content. Some in the industry claim this proves that links are more important than content. I’ll let you decide since we are short in time and that debate usualaly takes hours. I will say that YOU NEED TO HAVE LINKS.

Blog Rolls

Blog Rolls are basically out-bound links from your site to other sites. The idea here is to get your site listed on as many Blog Rolls as you can. Now one things to be aware of, this can be considered “reciprocal linking” and in today’s environment this can cause you problems. the best practice here is to get your site listed on many more “Blog Rolls” than you have sites listed in yours.

No-Follow .vs Follow links

There is a large debate about this in the SEO industry. Many site owners are very diligent about using these and others are very proud to boast that they dont. It’s your call.

Using No-Follow on your site comments will help to prevent comment spammers and marketors from doing drive-by commenting. they are only doing this to gete a link to their site, this wont help them when you use the default no-follow setting of wordPress. Its a waste of their time.

There are actually search engines dedicated to finding no-follow blogs just for these marketers to use for link building. If you use a one of the popular Do-Follow WP Plugins, it is fairly easy to identify the site.

Advantages include the appearance of a busy blog due to all the comments and some viable community members will not participate if they don’t get any link value from their activity

This Site

This site is one of many possible out of the box  ways to build links to a site. Using this blog as my presentation will most likely prompt some of the attendees to link to the site instead of a PowerPoint. At some time this site may build some weight due to links and I can then link to other sites of mine to pass the link Jiuce.
