SEO Blueprints

This post is only my second post in my new blog. I need more exposure and today when reading John Chow’s blog, I remembered a great way to do it from a post I read from his blog before. This is a great way to get a link and give deserved props to a great blogger at the same time.

John Chow has an offer where if you review his blog, you get a link back to your own in a post. This is a great idea for him to build new readers and links, but he also gives back to his readers with the opportunity to get a great link and be featured in one of his posts.

My History with John Chow’s Blog

Unfortunately I don’t remember what originally brought me to the blog, or which article I read first, but the posts that really got me into the blog and made me subscribe was the financial review of the blog, with numbers on how well he was doing with blog income.

I think this was the first one I read: Making Money From A Blog - Week 4
The financial reviews are very insightful and there is a whole category full of them.

Since I first read the article and continued reading, I must have told at least twenty people about it. I do SEO for the company where I work and follow the industry closely. They interns helping me have to stay in tune as well, so I ask them to read John’s blog for standard reading to keep up. It got to the point where they read it and asked me questions about our work by reading his blog, before I even got a chance to read his new posts!

Beyond the work environment, John is an inspiration to me as someone who is ‘making it’ with the internet, and could theoretically live just off his blog income in many parts of the world. To me this is amazing, and I admire him for the progress he has made. His audience is so large, that each post he does he gets many, many comments.

In all honesty, I only read about 75% of the posts. My focus is mostly on the blogging and SEO industry side with an occasional technology post here and there. The blog though is mostly about the industry and so active that I check it more than a few times per day for updates through my blog folder in netvibes.

Check out the blog if you haven’t already, and John, thanks for the link opportunity and keep up the great posts!
