Q: Tell Us Something About Yourself
I graduated in 2005 in International Economics, and right after my graduation, I started working for a multinational company. That’s the year that I started blogging as a hobby. I kept working for another year and over that period of time, my blog started to grow. After a couple of months, I went to see the server logs and I had like hundreds of visitors and after 6 months, thousands of visitors.
At the end of 2006, I decided to quit my job – that was in Italy – and then I just returned to Brazil and started blogging full time. I started www.DailyBlogTips.com in November 2006, a little over a year now, and we currently have about 7,500 RSS subscribers.

I think that one of the most important way to get high rank and positions in search engines is Link Building and i will explain you why is link building important and how we can build links for our sites.
Search Engines have bots and spiders which find your web site’s pages and index them in their SE. They use links to find new page. If your page’s link is on a good ranked sites your page will be index by SE quickly and it will rank good.
So after SEO works you must start link building. You can exchange links with sites which have same niche. You must try to get quality backlinks. Quality backlinks are links with good anchor text from high PR page’s and natural links. But google doesn’t like when you buy links on sites which have high Page Rank and when you get a lot of backlinks very fast, for example 100 back link in one day, google may be penalize your site.
It was general information about Link Building, next time i will talk about Link building tips.

Wordpress.com is very SEO friendly and have a lot of plugin, but there is one bad side, if you have blog at .wordpress.com you can’t add google adsense to your blog, but if you have wordpress blog engine on your own host you can add adsense too.
Blogger is google product, you can add google adsense. It is SEO friendly too and it has very easy Admin Panel.
You also can to buy your own Domain name and Web space, then upload there free wordpress blog engine and make your own design, of-course it is best way, but if you are begginer it is better to start with free subdomains.
