Establishing your blog as an authority in your niche can be a challenging prospect. This is especially so if you are just starting out. The more authority you have the more people like Google will like you. Also remember that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not really your all round blog.

This is good news. Because this means that every blog post or page you write should increase your blogs authority status. So make certain it does. How?

Listed below are a couple of techniques you can use immediately and incorporate into your blog training.

The first is one of the simplest ways to commence building your authority. It is to build incoming links through commenting. If you use a plugin called CommentLuv on your blog you will be able to leave comments on related niche blogs that also have CommentLuv installed.

How do you discover a blog with this plugin. Easy. Go to Google search engine, and do a search using your keyword and specified operators.

If I was looking for blogs in the 'Panic Attacks' niche I would explore for

panic attacks & "title="CommentLuv Enabled""

or rather

"Enable CommentLuv" + panic attacks

You ought to be able to retrieve loads of results for blogs in the panic attacks niche that have CommentLuv installed. In theory you would make at a minimum 10 comments per blog post or page you publish. If you make this a habit you will soon start to build your links and, hence, your authority status.

The second cute trick that you could use in your blog training and that will also conserve you hours and hours of blog promotion effort is automating your social network notifications. Social networks create you an opportunity to broadcast your posts to the entire world. Submitting your notifications one by one is not honestly feasible in the long term. Attempt this and I assure you that sooner rather than later you will give up.

Anyway, here are your step-by-step guidelines:

1. Get a free account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks using Options provided (this is the time consuming bit)
3. Generate account on those networks that you are not a affiliate of yet, and add them to the social network list for Posting
4. Install a latest plugin PingPressFM using "Add New" option and activate it
5. Acquire API Key from ping.fm and attach it to the Options of your plugin using Settings -> PingPressFM
6. Click on "Triggers" and place check for "Trigger Active" for each posting trigger you need to use.
7. Click "Update Options"

Bingo! That's all there is to it. Every time you post or create a page on your blog the plugin will give out a notification to ping.fm utilizing the triggers you have enabled on your blog which, in turn, will make automated posts to each social network you have added to your list.

This automated system runs a treat and, when set up, will grow your reputation without thinking about it.

Every blogger should explore ways to automate the important functions of a blog without compromising on the quality of the actual posts. Using these simple approach into your blog education will produce rewards in the long run and, best of all will allow you to concentrate on your content.
