Some days ago I devoted my evening to looking through articles and blog entries about SEO and the ways of website promotion. These topics seem to be the most discussed after Paris Hilton’s adventures. Not that I decided to make my hobby blog to something commercial. I just have no experience in this sphere and so wanted to get a common impression about these technics. Being the owner of a blog, the tips and tricks for bloggers were of a special interest for me. As I understood the key to the success and to the popularity of the blog was in the first place to be active. Active in all the ways. To write regularly, to read other blogs and to leave there your comments. There was also an advise to register your blog in all the possible search engines. I don’t have a list of such engines, but what I noticed is that after I launched i-gorod practically three days later I was visited by Technorati and added to its index. After a while I decided to make an account at Technorati and to claim there my blog. What I mostly liked is the registration procedure. After you choose your nickname and password you can add your blog. To verify whether you are really the blog owner Technorati determines itself the engine, that your blog is powered by and asks you to create a temporary posting and put in a link with some id. After you’ve done it in the seperate browser window, you come back and submit the request. Two or three seconds Technorati spider runs through your blog (maybe only rss feed?) and finds the link. After that the registration is complete and you can take out the temp posting.
