Hi again - not a problem,

just bear in mind many (most, probably!) blogs these days have no-follow tags on links from comment areas making them of little use for SEO purposes.

It really is best to get a proper link from within the article/post itself, hence my recommendation to see if maybe you could get a few of those as a guest writer on other blogs rather than just getting links from comments you make.

Best of luck

mmhh - methinks I should try to do a post on my blog about where to get links - I'll try to do one over the coming days!

You should add a WordPress blog, either to your website or as a standalone. If your hosting has a Cpanel you can install Wordpress very simply by using Fantastico.

Why would you go to the effort because like fresh content and loves wordpress.

For me it’s a no brainer, I’d be setting up WordPress everyday of the week. Because, it easy to use and open source, Which means it has a large community who use this platform, and since it open source, you’ll find 1000’s of plugins and themes.
  • Download and install WordPress on your web host. WordPress is completely customizable and can be used for almost anything
  • WordPress is an Open Source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. (More than most commercial platforms.) It also means you are free to use it for anything
  • The plugins turn this mild manner CMS to Cutting Edge blogging software on steroids, just a couple of the latest blogging technology available to users (such as Trackback) and taking it a step further (such as with Pingback)

Have fun there easy to set up

Trackback and Pingback are latest technology? and they are plugins now?

I'd recommend you visit Brisbane-based Yaro Starak's website at www.Entrepreneurs-Journey.com who blogs about how to make money blogging.

Read through a lot of the great content he has there for free about the benefits of blogs and how to optimise them before making your decision.
