We aren't the absolute experts on this but from experience we have found that the strongest and most long lasting backlinks come from guest articles. We also recommend blog commenting and we don't see a problem with using Facebook and the like. A good mix of backlinks is a good thing. We just focus more on guest articles than anything else. The problem with things like link wheels is that Google catches on after a while and they lose their value. We like backlinks that are sustainable and that happens with guest articles. function sbmgOptinValidateForm48(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm48' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm48' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

Your posts somewhat go against what I've been getting. What are your thoughts on building web 2.0 properties around your main website with blog post comments, bookmarking and etc. (I think you know where I'm going). Also do you have any thoughts on social media (facebook, twitter, etc) as related to focusing on a few main websites? function sbmgOptinValidateForm20(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm20' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm20' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

That's why if you focus on just one you will really see benefits. function sbmgOptinValidateForm495(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm495' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm495' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }

Yes, this is very interesting and thanks for sharing the results. I'm trying to get up to posting daily and I'm enjoying it actually. I do have some product based websites but they are niche stores and there are a lot of them and I couldn't possibly work up to 20 per day each but maybe I could focus on one and see how many would be doable. My husband has a product based site so I shared this info with him too ...

We also have a couple of really good writers who write for our product blogs.

Juggling multiple blogs is quite a task. I'm fairly equipped to handle several but I couldn't imagine twenty!

I read a post by Problogger yesterday and he went through exactly the same thing. He set up 20 blogs but realised pretty quickly that he was spreading himself too thin. function sbmgOptinValidateForm176(name,email) { var name_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm176' + '_' + name); var email_fld = document.getElementById('sbmgOptinValidateForm176' + '_' + email); var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/; var msg = ''; if ( name_fld.value == '' ) msg = '- Name Required\n'; if ( reg.test(email_fld.value) == false ) msg += '- Valid Email Required'; if ( msg == '' ) return true; else alert(msg); return false; }
