[This is part II, to read part I click here.]

I have somewhere around 20 blogs. No, I don’t have “spam” blogs linked together with scraped content to get better search position. That’s a short-lived and possibly damaging strategy.

I have 20 blogs because I have a number of things I am interested in and I use various blogs to act as “notepads” to collect my thoughts on a particular topic. Most of them only get a post or so per month, just when I run into something online on the topic or have a random thought I want to be reminded of later.

I have a couple personal blogs I update regularly—usually several times a week. That’s where most of my personal blogging goes. I have been using my blogs this way for just over a year. My smallest blog has 32 pages indexed on Google, my largest has 364.

Over the last year a number of other sites have linked to various pages on those blogs. Many of those pages are PageRank 2, but there are a significant number PageRank 3 and a few PageRank 4 or better.

Since I have complete control over the content on those pages I am able to create incoming text links with appropriate linking text on those pages. Here’s how:

Using the same tool I mentioned yesterday:

http://www.FullTiltBlogging.com/google-pr-search

I typed:

site:www.myblog.com

into the search box (replace “myblog.com” with the address of your own blog) and chose the results to be ordered by PageRank (not relevance.)

I looked at each of my own blogs for pages having a PageRank of 3 or more. I placed outgoing text links on all of those pages pointing to FullTiltBlogging.com.

You can do the same. If you have several blogs, check their pages now for PageRank. If you don’t, you can start a number of blogs and make occasional posts to them.

Don’t worry about marketing them, just post things that are interesting to you and let Google work its magic. Some of your pages should eventually get good PageRank which you can use to create incoming links.
