April 1, 2013 by 1 Comment

Below is an updated list of the top 10 sites by unique visitors, visits and page views after 6 weeks of the Marketing with Social Media MBA course.

Bill Belew is teaching a class on content/inbound/social media marketing at a university in Silicon Valley.

The students are following a variety of posting patterns, that is they have different blogging rhythms - 1-3 times daily and at various lengths – 200- to 600+ words.

The students are also guest posting twice during the week: here and at a classmate’s site.

The students are required to write evergreen/anchor/pillar posts weekly.

Click through to each site to see who is doing what right.

Professor Bill-Belew

Backlinking is critical

Many of you have been faithfully writing guest posts at www.billbelew.com each week.

However, some very important steps are missing.

When you write your guest post at www.billbelew.com there are 3 things you want to do.

1. You want to ensure you are linking back to your home site.

2. You want to ensure you are linking to the anchor post I wrote.

3. You want to write an article at your home site that links to the guest post you wrote at www.billbelew.com AND to the anchor post I wrote.

Here is a list of the anchor posts I wrote.

http://billbelew.com/blog/how-to-promote-your-blog-5-steps-to-take-today/

http://billbelew.com/blog/how-to-stay-motivated-at-blogging-when-it-gets-hard-and-boring/

http://billbelew.com/blog/finding-your-daily-rhythm-whats-your-blogging-pace/

http://billbelew.com/blog/8-questions-i-wish-i-had-answers-to-before-i-started-blogging-for-business/

http://billbelew.com/blog/4-ways-to-create-better-titles-for-your-blog-posts/

Before Saturday’s class. Please go to your home site and write a regular daily post mentioning that you guest posted at www.billbelew.com and be sure to link to the anchor post I wrote AND that you wrote at www.billbelew.com.

When linking to the anchor post, be sure to use good anchor text <how to promote your blog>, <stay motivated at blogging>, <your blogging pace>, <started business blogging>, <better titles for your blog posts>. In other words, these terms should be used in your post at your site and the hyperlink should go to my anchor post. You will want a similar term that links to the guest post you wrote as well.

This assignment should be done before you come on Saturday.

See you on Saturday.
