You need some serious password protection if you have a WordPress blog.
Your wp-admin directory is not the only part of your blog that needs protection…plugins, scripts, includes and content can all be hacked.
I’m paying more attention to this now because one of my blogs got hacked last week. Hundreds of invisible links for body part enlargement products and porn were attached to one of my blog posts, and the only reason I discovered the hack was because there were so many lines of code they crashed the post. I was lucky that only one post was affected.

When I first started the Diva, it was because it was a requirement of my new job at Terralever in July ‘07. I had never blogged before, and was terrified of sounding like an idiot in front of a global audience (yeah, like everyone was just waiting to read my blog).
My first posts are pretty dry and stuffy, fact-filled but no personality to them. No one was reading them, either. The turning point for me was joining the Active Rain real estate forum in October ‘07 and setting up a secondary blog there. People on AR are really friendly, not afraid to comment, and not only made me feel welcome but ate up the SEO advice I dished out.

One of the keys to being successful in the social media space is to get involved, extend yourself, and help others. ‘Social’ means relating to human society and its members. When you get join one or more social media groups, be it Stumble, Facebook, or MySpace, to name just a few of the many that are online, you’re expected to give before you get.

Leaving comments on blogs can be a valuable part of your linkbuilding campaign.
It does not mean leaving “Great post!” comments on every blog you find. Most bloggers will delete those ASAP, as they should.
Leaving proper blog comments takes time and effort. The rules are simple enough:
- Find relevant blogs
- Read the blog posting
- Leave a comment that adds value to the discussion
- Keep your comment in line with the blog’s comment policy
- Make sure the web site you’re linking to (yours) is worthwhile

Several times people have asked this question in blog comments - Do blog comments pass as much link juice as other forms of link building when made on a ‘do follow’ blog posting?
After a discussion with an esteemed colleague, as well as some research on blog comments left by us, the short answer to this is yes, they do. Long answer - not only do they carry as much, but they may carry more weight.
Blog comments are typically placed on highly relevant sites. If there are relevant keywords in the comment, this will add to the value, and if a keyword within the comment is linked (not always allowed) the link is highly valued.

Get free permanent links to your web site or blog in exchange for blog articles!
This is an experiment on my part, but I think it offers fair value - you help me, I help you.
Your article can be about any family-friendly subject you choose - technology, hobbies, home, pets, music, art, health, exercise, business, shopping, sports, travel, to give you just a few ideas.
These blogs are several months old, are family oriented, and should gain pagerank quickly. They are ‘do follow’ blogs, so you will get link juice!
Please follow these guidelines:
