Installing Ping Optimizer
When used properly, the ability of your blog to send a “ping” to directories and search engines can be a powerful tool in bringing traffic to your blog. However if used improperly where your blog pings too often or pings when you merely edit a post and do not actually add new content can cause your blog to get blocked. Using a ping optimizing programs can prevent this problem. This video will show you how to install such a program.
Adding NoFollow Tags
By default Wordpress adds “nofollow tags” to all the links in yur blog. The purpose of these tags is to keep search engines from following links from your blog to other sites which can delute the ranking of your blog with the search engines.
However the problem with this is that to gain back linkks from your
blog to help build your blog ranking you need people to post comments to your blog which helps to add good unique content. But other bloggers will normally not leave content to blogs with the nofollow in effect.
To alter this you can add a plug in which will remove the nofollow tags and thus encourage other bloggers to comment on your blog. this video will show you how to do this.
You will need a plug in, no-follow-case-by-case that you can download free at this site.
