Establishing your blog as an authority in your market can be a difficult prospect. This is particularly so if you are just starting out. The more authority you have the more people like Google will admire you. Also remember that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not really your overall blog.

This is good news. Because this signifies that every blog post or page you write should extend your blogs authority status. So make certain it does. How?

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

The first is one of the simplest ways to start developing your authority. It is to build incoming links through commenting. If you use a plugin called CommentLuv on your blog you will be able to leave comments on related niche blogs that also have CommentLuv installed.

How do you locate a blog with this plugin. A piece of cake. Go to Google search engine, and conduct a search using your keyword and specific operators.

If I was searching 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 retrieve lots of results for blogs in the panic attacks niche that have CommentLuv installed. In theory you would make at a minimum 10 comments per blog post or page you write. If you make this a habit you will before long start to create your links and, hence, your authority status.

The second tactic that you could make use of in your blog training and that will also save you hours and hours of blog promotion effort is automating your social network notifications. Social networks allow you an opportunity to broadcast your posts to the world. Submitting your notifications one by one is not honestly feasible in the long term. Try out this and I ensure that sooner rather than later you will give up.

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

1. Get a free account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks using Options provided (this is the time consuming bit)
3. Make account on those networks that you are not a active member of yet, and attach them to the social network list for Posting
4. Install a latest plugin PingPressFM using "Add New" option and activate it
5. Get API Key from ping.fm and attach it to the Options of your plugin using Settings -> PingPressFM
6. Click on "Triggers" and set check for "Trigger Active" for each posting trigger you need to use.
7. Click "Update Options"

Bingo! That's all there is to it. Every time you post or construct a page on your blog the plugin will give 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 important functions of a blog without compromising on the caliber of the actual posts. Using these simple approach into your blog education will reap rewards in the long run and, best of all will allow you to concentrate on your content.
