The Term ‘Google Adsense’ Brings In the Backlinks
Posted by chris.whiteley on Jun 3, 2008
Normally with a headline like that I would write a post about making money with Google Adsense (or a lack of making money). Over the last few days I have noticed an interesting trend that I intend on exploiting as much as I can.
I was browsing through my Akismet spam folder on my blog to check and see if any real comments had been caught and mistakenly marked as spam. I did not see any comments that needed to be approved, but I did notice that I had a ton of track back to other blogs from a few of my posts.
It seems that the vast majority of trackbacks were posts that I had written with the term ‘Google Adsense’ in the title. It seemed that all of the trackbacks were from spam blogs that basically stole the first few paragraphs from my post, and then had a link to my blog that said ‘Read the rest of this great post here.’ Most people that I have spoken to are not fond of these ‘Splogs’ stealing their content and posting it on the Splog.
Personally I like it.
Each one of these Splogs is providing a backlink to my blog, and as bloggers getting backlinks is key. Of I shouldn’t get too excited because my old PR 3 is now at zero because I made a few paid posts. But still any backlink is good.
I would suggest that all of you bloggers take a look through your spam comments and see what posts you are writing (if any) are getting trackbacks from these Splogs. Try and figure out which keywords are triggering these Splogs to ‘borrow’ a bit of your content, and then begin creating more posts that contain those keywords.
It kind of makes me wish I had my PR back instead of the Google appointed zero.
