The buzz is all about getting back to basics now that The Big G (Google - that's right, who's your Daddy??) is getting wise to the things that bloggers have been taking for granted. There were the viral links which were incredibly successful at driving the Technorati Authority through the roof.. Mine went ballistic, but is dropping almost as fast now. How can I retain the ranking? Commenting of course, that thing we used to do before we 'grey-hatted' our way around the internet picking up cheap undeserved back-links. Trouble is now that Google has got it's stick out, some bloggers have reverted to 'no follow', so be careful where you comment (you know who you are - ha ha...)
To make matters worse, the Big G is now tinkering with the PR calculating hysteresis to try to stamp out paid bloggers. What can we do about that? Well the daft thing is that the paid blogging will now have to be 'under the radar' - I used to stick 'paid post' after every advert - I'm not going to do it now am I? I might as well just ask Google outright to permanently remove my PR.
So, as I said, let's get back to basics and start commenting on each others blogs again, spread the love... follow your linky heart wherever your browser takes you and leave little droppings of love behind... and be a bit more subtle about the old paid blogging.

The fact that you're here proves that it works. One comment is almost bound to bring at least one visitor, and could bring far more....
I'm encouraged to keep commenting...
Sounds like a good idea to me. It will be good to know whether it works or whether Google doesn't like that either.
I wonder that too, but commenting is very Web2.0..they can't knock that surely - and the commenting is not to get the back-links but to generate traffic - read my next post (written today ready for posting tomorrow....)
