From Zero To SEO

Yesterday I installed Nofollow case by Case Wordpress plugin to encourage people to read and comment my blog. Plugin allows bloggers to manage nofollow in comments very efficiently. You can regulate link juice flow by selectively applying and stripping nofollows.

How to get dofollow link from my blog

1. Add value - The best way to get dofollow link from my blog is to share your experience. Comment if you have something to say. Any tricks related to search engine optimization, internet marketing, and money making are welcome. It means that I will support only active bloggers who add value to conversation and don’t spam.

2. Be dofollow - Dofollow blogs automatically receive dofollow. But it doesn’t mean that I strip nofollow if you say “nice blog” or “thank you”. Please don’t ignore the first bullet even if you have dofollow blog.

3. Provide valuable links - Relevant links to valuable content are welcome, others will be deleted. Also don’t provide additional links, like signatures in comments. You can specify any relevant anchor in author link (Name) and provide any relevant link (Website) you want.

Scour is another search engine that pulls data from Google, Yahoo, and MSN. But it also allows users to vote and comment results to make them more relevant. Why anybody would do this? Because of reward system that scour offers.

Is it worth doing?

It depends. If you live in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, U.S., or U.K. then register, install plugin and make some cash. And spend more time reading if you live somewhere else. Look why.

For every search, vote and comment you earn 1 point, i.e. 3 reward points from every search if you vote and comment. But where is daily search limit. You earn reward points from the first 100 daily searches only. It means you can do 300 points per day. Is this enough to buy a beer? Nope.

The reward system for countries listed above is:
6,500 points = $25.00
12,500 points = $50.00
25,000 points = $100

The reward system for other countries is:
50,000 points = $5

It means that U.S. citizen can make $25 in 6,500 / 300 = 22 days, but guy from India in (5 x 50,000) / 300 = 834 days! But don’t leave my blog now if you are from India :] There is something that scour can offer you, referrals!

Invite as many friends as you can and make 25% of the points they make! If your referral makes 300 reward points daily, it is 75 points for you. Ten referrals, 750 reward points and so on.

I forgot to mention that you get 50 bonus points when you register.

Bad things happen

Scour performs regular manual reviews to ensure quality of comments and votes. Don’t spam, don’t use submission scripts, don’t search invalid characters, and don’t promote your site! Otherwise scour will take some points or ban your account. Remember, that scour believes that users vote and comment to make the World better :} Don’t frustrate them, be natural.

Scour is another free SEO tool

If you are not interested in making money with scour you can use it as ranking analysis tool. Yes, another free SEO tool for you guys! Just type keyword you need and check ranking in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. You can sort SERP as well. I like this feature very much, because I can sort SERP on the fly without using special SEO tools.

P.S.: If you find this post useful you can register using my referral url.
