We got a free calorie counter and we have been using it to keep track of the amount of calories in the food we eat as apposed to the amount of calories that we are burning during our exercise routine. We have come up with a pretty nice routine that seems to be shedding about four pounds a week for us. Any exercise routine that you do is going to help with the loss of those unwanted pounds but blogger unite and keep the weight down to a minimum …. we want everyone to keep blogging as long as you can.

Thanks to the internet we have been able to research and find many different and useful ways to keep in shape. Sometimes all you need is a little encouragement from your friends and you will be well on your way to a whole new you. Just because we are geeks doesn’t mean we have to be fat geeks.

Bloggers that correctly maintain their blogs become a huge advertising medium for anyone looking for fast indexing and quick exposure. There are some things that one must understand about how the whole advertising on a blog works. One of them is having the ability to get your links indexed quickly means that a Search Engine is going to see that you are connected to a certain keyword or key phrase in a matter of minutes. 

One tool that is extremely helpful for this is the Google Alerts Tool. This tool allows you to receive an up to the minute update about key terms that you may be placing high or low on, and you can make a good assessment of what you will need to do to improve or maintain rankings. It does not get in depth about what you need to do to maintain rankings, however you do have a better understanding of when you are getting indexed and how often.

So how does a blog help an advertiser to get indexed quicker and more frequently?

When a blogger posts a new post on their site, they can place links within the site and those links are what are going to get indexed. When the blogger publishes their post, they are doing what is called Pinging other websites. Those websites in turn ping other websites when they are updated and the processes happens almost instantaneously. Pinging is just like it is defined. Like radar for bloggers. Publishing to a blog actually sends out a signal to hundreds and thousands of other sites letting them know that there has been an update made to the site.

This reaches the Search Engines in no time flat and the spiders are jet propelled to the blog to see what is going on there. On the overly updated blog they find that there is a sort of “press release” and that short story contains information that is relevant to and containing links to another site. The spiders hit the links and the relevant information, now they are in the advertisers site. Let the indexing begin.

Would you like to see the free blogs as sub-domains or set up like this …..

linktheplanet.com/somesitename ??

We believe that the use of sub-domains is much more effective and we would like to see that all of our bloggers who use the free blog offer from Link The Planet, still have the ability to advertise with sites like Pay Per Post and Smorty.

Understandably you don’t want to have 100 links coming from the same domain name, ie. linktheplanet.com/somesitename, this way it looks as though your relevant link is coming from linktheplanet.com and just from different pages of that site.

However when a Search Engine sees a domain name that is creates as another website, ie. somesitename.linktheplanet.com, then your links become relevant. Not to mention that the link is coming from not only the site name that is relevant to your site but also the trailing name …

ie. somesitename.linktheplanet.com/yourkeytermrelatedtoyoursite.

That is where the power of the popularity linking comes into play! The sub-domain setup IS like have another website and any posts within that site are considered to be incoming links to you from one website. Even if you are advertised on 100 somesitename.linktheplanet.com sites, you are gaining relevant links to your site from 100 separate sites and not from pages within a site.

Each sub-domain of linktheplanet.com is considered to be a separate website and not a page of the site. Just like blogs from WordPress.com if you have a sub-domain of a website linking to you .. you are golden. Yourself as an advertiser can create a free blog on WordPress or Link The Planet and start blogging today about your company and help to create your own buzz about your business.

Heres the Video ….

The store was full of people from all around looking to get their hands on some Simpsons Schwag. They are poring in from all over the tri-state area looking to get their piece of the Simpsons memorabilia.

We got there at about noon on Saturday and the place was packed. Not only for the regular shoppers but for the Simpsons Fanatics … they have Buzz Cola, Krustie O’s, Slurpie Cups, and those pink dough nuts that the cop eats all the time. We didn’t get any dough nuts but we got a few of everything else.

There are already auctions on eBay for the Simpson’s Schwag going for about $20 an item.

We will be adding to this blog as the days progress and you will be able to find some current information about what is going on in Link The Planet.

We have created a number of helpful sites that are geared to help everyone who wants to be a part of the internet and all of its search features. We will be upgrading our Search Engine as time progresses and we will post about that here when the time comes.
