Do you have a Yahoo! strategy that you would like to share? I’ve got some work to do to get back in the line up for next week! Thanks for the updates! .-= Ileane´s last blog ..Do Twitter Backgrounds Attract New Followers? =-. Reply Karen Twitter: BlazingMinds says: December 13, 2009 at 11:46 am I just submit my sitemap to Yahoo like I do with Google and other search engines, I suppose it’s just what people are searching for via certain search engines Reply Mike Twitter: Passion4ThePint says: December 13, 2009 at 1:17 pm As always, thanks for including me. I’m glad that this blog has become one of my daily stops. You are the only blogger I know that has more Yahoo traffic than Google. Looks like I’m going to go submit my sitemap to them today. Didn’t even know you could do that. .-= Mike´s last blog ..Poll: What’s Your Favorite Holiday Flavor Latte? =-. Reply Karen Twitter: BlazingMinds says: December 13, 2009 at 4:31 pm I submit the sitemap via the XML Sitemap plugin for WordPress, takes out lot of the work Reply Heather Kephart Twitter: Happymaker says: December 13, 2009 at 3:15 pm Thanks for another bitchin’ list, Karen! I became interested in learning more about link building after reading an article (dangit, who was it?) about a fellow who learned that social media wasn’t helping him too much, and that link building was driving 90% of his traffic. Can’t wait to read the Atniz article! .-= Heather Kephart´s last blog ..Facebook Dislike Button =-. Reply Karen Twitter: BlazingMinds says: December 13, 2009 at 4:37 pm Thanks Heather, Atniz always seems to have some interesting article on her blog Reply Dennis Edell Twitter: DennisEdell says: December 13, 2009 at 4:40 pm Thanks again! .-= Dennis Edell´s last blog ..3 Days Left – MaxBlogPress Christmas Deal Expires =-. Reply Ned from Baltimore Investing Twitter: NedCarey says: December 13, 2009 at 7:18 pm Thanks for the tip on Yahoo sitemap. I use the sitemap plugin but Yahoo wasn’t checked.

Reply elmot Twitter: elmot says: December 14, 2009 at 7:53 am great list and review of a whole week of posts I am interested though with you getting more traffic from yahoo search engine compared to google, which is a different case for me, with google topping more of my visits and only a very few from yahoo. .-= elmot´s last blog ..A Meaningful Existence for Filipinos =-. Reply Karen Twitter: BlazingMinds says: December 14, 2009 at 10:26 am I have been asked this before, I’m not too sure why I’ve had more visits via Yahoo than Google! Reply Jena Isle Twitter: JenaIsle says: December 14, 2009 at 3:00 pm Hi Karen, This perked up my interest. I’ll have to visit the links. You have several visits from entrecard, as I do too. I have a high bounce rate however which they say is not good. I get around 90 % . What about you? How do you solve this problem? Thanks for sharing. .-= Jena Isle´s last blog ..“A Puppy, Not a Guppy” Book Contest =-. Reply Karen Twitter: BlazingMinds says: December 14, 2009 at 3:58 pm Bounce rate is a bit of a problem with EntreCard due to users doing a “drop & run” just to gain credits, though some do take the time to read a post and I do find that using the “more” option on WordPress does improve the bounce rate, if a visitor is interested in the post then they click more and then they get the full post to read and comment on Reply Hesham from FamousBloggers Twitter: FamousBloggers says: December 14, 2009 at 9:27 pm Wow! I am number 5 on comments I didn’t expect that! thanks for the mention Karen. .-= Hesham @ FamousBloggers´s last blog ..The BlogoGalaxy of Famous Bloggers on Flickr =-.

I am finally almost caught up now. Big thanks for the link juice on my post, you rock! .-= Extreme John´s last blog ..13 of the Best WordPress Blogging Tips of the Week =-. Reply Ned from Baltimore Investing Twitter: NedCarey says: December 17, 2009 at 7:19 am I find your top search terms list interesting. It’s not the type of terms I would expect that would drive people here. I have a do follow blog but I haven’t had a lot of people find me that way. I searched for “dofollow” and your site didn’t come up in the top 100 so I am surprised that was a top search term for you. .-= Ned@Baltimore Investing´s last blog ..Help Me Pick a Charity? =-.
