How to get your latest blog and news feeds indexed by the major ping services.
This usually involves entering your news feed url manually or you can notify the ping services automatically by copying the ‘ping configuration code’ into your supporting blog software.
Test each service and check their guidelines. Some require manual pings for the first time and before you can use the automated service as described above.

Writing Online Reviews for Traffic & Profit
What is your specialist knowledge or niche market?
It doesn’t matter what field your knowledge or experience may be:
- Ebook Author
- Programming
- Sell Electronics
- Music
- Toys
- Pets
Think about how many times you visit certain web sites with reviews of products from customers.
Do you stop to read their personal reviews and opinions?
Or maybe you have contributed your own thoughts and experiences in an online review!
A little known secret to getting free exposure to your site is being missed by many online marketers.
Let me explain further.
Providing good honest feedback gives other people valuable information about a product or service which can help them through the decision making process whilst shopping for goods.
Reviews can go way beyond the reach of online polls and votes because you are not just submitting an anonymous check box but providing your name, web site address which readers can click through to your site.
You have earned the trust of customers who have found your feedback has helped them make a decision about the suitability of any given product.
The Special Reserve UK web site sells a wide range of popular electronic games, DVD’s, PC equipment and more.
This site provides an excellent product review and rating system.
They provide a standard review of plus detailed information, images, screenshots and special offers. In the same section you can also find “customer reviews” positioned next to their own information.
It is clear that the customer reviews are of equal value to that of the served by the company, Special Reserve.
I am a regular customer and find lots of key points that help me decide between similar products in order to get the most unbiased endorsement from ordinary people.
You can even read further reviews by the author and find out more about them. Look at how the footer is structures next to other important details.
I rate this product 6 /10 :: See all reviews by this author
Product Information :: Buy Now
There is a limitation with special reserve and that is you can only use a “nickname” and “tagline” of up to 20 characters which is not enough for your web site url.
Another more widely known online store is Amazon. You are probably already familiar with their “customer review” service. This is also a valuable source of information for shoppers.
Contribution from customers more often contains details that the manufacturers cannot provide. Shoppers can relate to customer feedback better than the standard listing of design features because they are real people who have actually bought and used the product.
In conclusion you could use customer reviews section to build a relationship with shoppers and get them to visit your site. If you have a mailing list you need to ensure that you have a sign up form to capture email addresses. By doing this you can build a relationship with your subscribers and provide information and offers to them.
If you’re not already registered user you should do so it’s free and you will not have to enter your details time and time gain because your information will be stored with Amazon. Once you are registered go to the top of the page to the “About You Area” where you can add some personal details such as:
• A photo
• Your interests and hobbies
• Your name
• Contact email (this to viewable by Amazon Friends Only (registered users).
You have up to 4,000 characters at your disposal so use it wisely and make sure you focus on your subject or niche. Your “About You” summary will be viewable by the public so maximize on this and keep in line with Amazon’s guidelines.
Remember you can always amend your details at any time and a bonus tip is that if you are a participant in bidding or selling at Amazon Auctions your “About You Area” can be viewed by buyers and sellers who want to find out more about you. So make your description stand out by preparing a draft which can include reference to your domain and information directly relating to your niche.
When you add reviews to hugely popular shopping sites such as those mentioned above..
• You will be seen as an expert in your field
• Provide useful information for other buyers
• People will place their trust in you and your feedback
• Provide free unbiased information
Try it doesn’t cost a dime and will help to build trust and become viewed as an expert in your field.
Position yourself as an expert and provide valuable contribution to Amazon shoppers!
