Try my custom google search for searching my list of over 30 blogs with KeywordLuv enabled:

Having not posted on Pingable for some time, I have decided to restart my new posting schedule with an announcement that I have enabled two plugins KeywordLuv and Do follow. These plugins are to encourage comments from other bloggers and web masters.

For those who don’t know

Do follow means comments left on this blog give you a backlink to your site. This will help you improve search engine rankings.

KeywordLuv is a plugin with allows you to stuff your backlink with keywords which you are trying to rank in search engines with.i.e. If you write about “Making Money”, If you leave as your name, Simon@Making Money your backlink will say comment Simon from “Make Money” with make money as the hyperlink.

Both these plugins are to help readers improve the search engine ranking of their sites.

I have added a section to this site with translations of some of the articles I have written. You can view the articles here:

Foreign Language Articles

At this stage there are only 7 articles because that is how many of my articles that I have noticed, which have been translated and reposted on other sites. There are currently articles in: Japanese, French, Spanish and Italian. I will be adding different articles in the future if more translations are created.

I am happy for anyone to repost my articles in any foreign language as long as you put a link back to the original article.

What is the point of Sblogs and Autoblogs?

Normally such sites are set up to either make a little cash through Adsense or other contextual ads, or in many cases to set up a network of blogs, or a blog farm to generate page rank, and link authority. Anyone who knows about such things can spot these auto blogs a mile away. Typically there titles link directly to RSS feed content, and headings will focus on keywords that a sblogger is focusing on.

Why are they annoying?

Apart from the fact that someone else is trying to cash in on your hard work, there are also duplicate content issues. Search engines don’t like duplicate content, and if you were unlucky enough to have a low ranking new site, that doesn’t get indexed regularly, there is a good change that search engine spiders could index the content of the Sblog, before indexing it on…

One of my main focuses here is blogging about blogging, or "how to blog". But I often find myself, sitting at my desk, trying to write blog posts, and ending up with nothing to show for my efforts. This article is an effort to list the worst productivity killers, when it comes to blogging.

Read too many RSS feeds - I am firm believer in reading what other relevant blogs are writing about to inform your articles, but there comes a point when your reading can be killing your writing time. Keep an eye on this.
Stumbling - Stumbling is great, and a great way to research content. But spending your time looking at stuff like this:
