Starting your blog as an authority in your market can be a challenging prospect. This is especially so if you are just starting out. The more authority you have the more people like Google will love you. Bear in mind that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not in actual fact your all round blog.

This is excellent news. Because this indicates that every blog post or page you write should increase your blogs authority status. So make absolutely sure it does. How?

Listed below are a couple of methods you can use immediately and add to into your blog training.

The first is one of the easiest ways to commence establishing your authority. It is to build incoming links through commenting. If you apply a plugin called CommentLuv on your blog you will be able to leave comments on associated niche blogs that also have CommentLuv installed.

How do you discover a blog with this plugin. Easy. Go to Google search engine, and conduct a search using your keyword and specified operators.

If I was looking for blogs in the 'Panic Attacks' niche I would find for

panic attacks & "title="CommentLuv Enabled""

or

"Enable CommentLuv" + panic attacks

You ought to be able to discover plenty of results for blogs in the panic attacks niche that have CommentLuv installed. In theory you would make at least 10 comments per blog post or page you publish. If you make this a habit you will soon start to create your links and, hence, your authority standing.

The second cute trick that you could use in your blog training and that will also conserve you hours and hours of blog promotion effort is automating your social network notifications. Social networks create you an option to broadcast your posts to the planet. Submitting your notifications one by one is not really feasible in the long term. Try this and I ensure that sooner rather than later you will give up.

Anyway, here are your step-by-step guidelines:

1. Get a at no cost account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks utilizing Options provided (this is the time consuming bit)
3. Make account on those networks that you are not a active member of yet, and add them to the social network list for Posting
4. Install a new plugin PingPressFM using "Add New" option and activate it
5. Find API Key from ping.fm and add it to the Options of your plugin using Settings -> PingPressFM
6. Click on "Triggers" and place check for "Trigger Active" for each posting trigger you want to use.
7. Click "Update Options"

Bingo! That's all there is to it. Every moment you post or create a page on your blog the plugin will send a notification to ping.fm using the triggers you have enabled on your blog which, in turn, will make automated posts to each social network you have added to your list.

This automated system functions a treat and, now set up, will grow your popularity without thinking about it.

Every blogger should investigate ways to automate the critical functions of a blog without compromising on the quality of the actual posts. Incorporating these simple approach into your blog education will bring rewards in the long run and, best of all will allow you to focus on your content.
