Cluster Blogging

So you’ve learned about keywords, key phrases, and long tail keywords, eh? But now what do you do with all this information? Have you thought about cluster blogging to capitalize on all your possible keyword combos?

The average keyword could have hundreds, if not thousands of related combinations, each of which could bring traffic to your website if you had some content to highlight it. This is where cluster blogging can come in handy.

Here’s how to do it . . .

Naturally your main keyword or key phrase would be connected to your main website, but now you want turn each related keyword into a back link source for your main site. You do this by setting up a blog for each related long tail keyword and phrase you have.

Of course you wouldn’t want to set up hundreds of different blogs on your one domain because the search engines would detect they were all coming from the same source and you wouldn’t get a back link. Instead, use the free blogging platforms like Rticlz.com, Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, or Weebly.com where you can have multiple user names and blogs. There are dozens of similar platforms you can sign up to and blog to your heart’s content.

You could also set up a Squidoo lens and/or a Hubpage if you had enough content material for each long tail keyword to fill the required modules.

Google Pages can also be implemented for single posts.

Now do the following . . .

1. Make sure, when you set up a blog for a particular keyword or phrase, that you name the blog with that keyword. Create a user name with the keyword as well.

2. Post original content specifically related to the blog’s keyword and mention the keyword in the first and last sentence of each post. Bold the first reference and italicize the last.

3. Try to come up with at least three relevant posts in each blog and add a link to your main site using the blog’s keyword as an anchor text. You could also link to your main site in the sidebar’s blogroll if there is one.

4. Once you have several posts on a blog, socialize each post seperately. Never submit the blog itself. Submit your posts to Digg, StumbleUpon, Mixx, Propeller, and any number of the other social networks out there. Most blogging platforms contain plugins that you can activate to create links to most of the social networks to make it easier to submit.

5. Write some seperate articles relating to your keywords and submit those to the article directories. Having so many different blogs will allow you to link your bio box to a different one for each article. You could submit the articles to just a few directories, or use something like Article Submitter Pro to submit them to over 1,400 of them. Each one will count as a back link.

Eventually, you’ll have thousands of people visiting your blogs and clicking on the link to your main site. You’ll also be amazed at how well cluster blogging works to get your blog posts listed quickly in a search listing for your related keywords.
