WordPress Links
Tuesday, October 11th, 2011I have been writing several blogs for several years. I don’t have very many subscribers but it is a nice way of archiving the things that go on in my life and helps me keep perspective of things. Anyway – one of the blogs has to do with Drag Racing. It is really a running commentary of how my own engine and racing development programs are progressing. On this blog, I recently felt inclined to add a bunch of links that are related to what I do – racing, Pontiacs, etc. The day after doing this I got a SURGE of hits, comments and overall activity. Much of it was spam but it triggered the question for me, “Why?”. Why did all this activity come on the site? It must have been tied to the links. But I thought Google’s PageRank was going the way of the DoDo. How could these links influence and drive blog traffic to my site? So many questions. But I may try another experiment with another blog just to see how it works out and see if it drives traffic. If it does – we may be onto something here
