eHow Experiment: Saturday November 14, 2009-11-14

Link. Link. Link. That is the name of the game if you want to get views. The more links, the higher the search engines will rank your pages. And, my friends, that equals more views and more money.

Today, the buzz is about Yahoo! Buzz. This is a free service provided by Yahoo that is definitely worth taking a look at. Some of you may be familiar with it, so please bear with me. You might even learn something new.

On your eHow article pages there is a share button. When you mouse over or click on the share button your will see a box with a number of options. Click on Buzz to go to the Yahoo! Buzz site, and the share a story page. If you are signed into Yahoo!, you will be allowed to buzz up the article that you were on. If you don’t have a Yahoo! account, you can sign up for free. A Buzz is a link with the title and first few words of your article that will appear on the Buzz activity page.

Posting the link to your article is not all Buzz is good for. You can share updates on Buzz from your blogger account, every time you use Stumble Upon and every time you tweet on Twitter. There are actually a number of sites that you can set up in your automatic updates. What is cool is that this service allows you to automatically create links for just about everything you do online. To get this set up, go to your Yahoo! profile page, click on “Updates”, and then on “Share More” to enter your sites.

For example, you’ve published an article on eHow. As soon as it is published, you Buzz it up. Then you bookmark your article on Stumble Upon. That bookmark shows up on your Buzz activity. Then, you post a summary with a link to your article on your Blogger blog. That also gets a link on your Buzz activity. Next, you bookmark and Buzz your blog, and all of those actions get posted on your Buzz activity. The possibilities are endless. Want to keep going? Go to Xomba and write a Xomblurb about your article (don’t forget the link), and buzz it up. Then write a longer Xombyte and do the same thing. I think you are getting the picture. You can use Buzz to promote all of your articles, blogs and websites, get everything linked together, and generate more traffic to your pages. Yahoo! Buzz makes it simple.

One last thing, you can blog on your Yahoo! account. Click here to check out mine. You will find the post button on the right side of the page on your profile. Just another way to promote yourself.

What is the Best Sandwich You Have Ever Eaten?

If you have been writing online, you know that getting backlinks to your articles boosts your page rank, and therefore your income. As an online writer, I spend hours not only writing, but also promoting my articles and pages through forums, Yahoo Answers, social bookmarking sites and submitting to search engines. I have a routine down, but I still need to make more money. If you need to earn more money as well, I want to help you. I will be posting a number of questions for you to answer on one of my favorite rev share writing sites. I have chosen this site simply because we can all benefit (i.e. make more money) if we work together. If you are not a member, it is very easy to join. As a member you can earn money from your articles, from members who join under your referral code, and from links you post to other members' articles.

The question I have posted is, "What is the Best Sandwich You Have Ever Eaten?" To answer this question, click on the link and write your answer. If you are not a member of HubPages, you will need to join first. I will be tracking answers, blogging on the answers and writing articles about the answers. And, to your benefit, I will be posting links to your answer so that you can earn more money. The more backlinks each page has, the higher the search engine ranking. Please be sure to use good keywords/tags.

If this works according to plan, we can all increase our earnings. I will be posting a number of questions on HubPages in the coming weeks, so please keep checking back and answer as many as you can.
