Blog Tagging. What's This New Game All About? by Lance Dwayne Ronald Brown

In addition to writing articles and participating in forums it seems
I have stumbled on to this fun new way of generating back links to your
site. I don't know who came up with this or who started this game but
it seems to me the possiblities are endless. I thought I should write
an article about it.
The game is called "blog tagging." Here is how you play the game:


You find 5 blogs of similar interest or content as yours and then post
a comment to them saying " you have been tagged " with a link back to
your site. Getting response shouldn't be hard as people like games if
there is something in it for them. At your site you have an explanation
something along these lines:


Blog Tagging. What's It All About?


Ok. Maria did this tagging thing with me. She doesn't know either who
started the game, but it's a fun and creative way to get links back to
your blog. If you get tagged, expect to write a post giving your
reasons for blogging, include a link back to the person who tagged you,
then tag 5 other bloggers. Personally I blog to get readers to my site
and to build friendships. I hope you respond to this tag game.


You'll notice above I mentioned the person who introduced me to the
game. Mentioning their name adds a nice personal touch. You must
hyperlink this person's blog in the text of your explanation. This is
easily done in the back office of your blog where you edit your posts.
When you write the post you will need to click on compose and then
highlight the words you want to hyperlink. In this case it is the name
Maria I highlight. Another box will come up where you put in their blog
link to their site. Presto! You have followed the rules and finished
your explanation of the game.


If you do the math on this you will have a least 25 links to your site
for every 5 people you tag. Imagine what would happen if you tagged 2
or 3 people a week for a year. That's right. Hundreds of back links to
your site which the search engines will pick up on where people will be
able to find your site.


It occurs to me one can change the topic of the game too. Instead of it
being why you blog it could be " lessons you have learned on the
internet " or " favorite hobbies " or " celebrities I don't like "
or...well you get my drift. Whatever gets people to respond to your
tag. You are limited only by your imagination here.


As anything else you will have to spend a little time checking out
other blogs and finding people with similar blog topics as yours. I
don't need to mention blog traffic exchanges but just in case you don't
know about them blogsoldiers is a good place to start. There are many
others though. Spend some time with Blogger or Wordpress reading other
blogs. It's all about community isn't it?


I did a little research on the internet to see if anyone had written an
article about this game. I couldn't find much. It may be absolutely new
and fresh. Or it may be I am behind the times and this has been around
for awhile. I do expect people will see the benefit of this game and
run with it. We'll probably start to see a rash of blog tagging topics.
You may want to start your own tag game now. You can use me and my blog
as the person who referred you if you want. Much appreciated if you do.
I think it is best to keep the game simple and easy to duplicate. Happy
blog tagging. I invite your comments and opinions on this topic.
