Who knew attending geeky events would be such a link driver. My 27 Dinner review post generated a ton of traffic and links to my blog. Then last week I attended the Blogeratti event hosted by our local web guru’s Matt and Vince. Once again introducing myself (or even just rocking up) has led to a ton of back links and a traffic spike. To round it all off it’s always good measure to write about the event afterwards and link to all the other blogger’s posts. This generates comment ping backs on the blogger’s comments (sort of legit comment spam). If the blog doesn’t have the ‘no follow‘ tag setup it’s a free back link and helps you get noticed by the blogger and his audience (thats a whole different post).

We all know lists are great to get your blog noticed by the masses but try some offline marketing and attend some geeky events especially blogger ones.

It was great to meet up again with some of my blogging buds and put faces to some of my online friends.

Here’s a list of blogs covering the event -

Bloggerati - awesome party and thanks for coming

  1. Thanks hun - this one is turning out to be a link orgy, lol. You’re right though, these bashes really do work wonders for networking and traffic.

    P.S. Love your FB pic! :-)
