Build Killer Content Rather than Sweating over building your DIGG Network
“Unfortunately the algorithm does not only look at submitters. Before a submission is promoted it must reach a certain number of votes within a 24 hour period.

Basically, the word on the streets is that getting links from blogs is less effective than it used to. This may be true amongst the uber bloggers, but I think it’s still very effective lower down the food chain.

Free Ice cream with every Cheap Payday Loan
It took me a few moments to work out that “Ice cream” is two words and not one, as in “icecream”, or even “iscream”. Hey come on, it’s 2.30 in the AM here.
No, I do not have a payday loan blog, and no I do not sell links to any such sites. This is an seo experiment and the payday keyword is one I like to play with as it’s so competitive and it’s something I have no interest in ever getting into.
I want to see how quick this post will get into google blog search, which I love using.
I want to see if the title phrase ranks in the main google search and how long it takes to appear. [Read more…] about Free Ice cream with every Cheap Payday Loan
