			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img src="http://techathand.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/links2.jpg" style="border: 0px none ; margin: 0px" alt="Links" border="0" height="287" width="420" /></p>
<p align="center"><em>Pictures by </em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/partsnpieces/" title="http://www.flickr.com/photos/partsnpieces/" rel="nofollow"><em>Partsnpieces</em></a></p>
<p>I would like to share some suggestions on how a new blogger or even an old blogger can <strong>increase the possibility of being linked by other site</strong>. And this might also be a possibility why I got recently <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/i-am-now-pr4/">upgraded to PR4</a> by Google.</p>
<ul>
<li>I have been joining different Group Writing Contest such as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/be-a-plumber-fix-your-leaking-site/" title="http://www.techathand.net/be-a-plumber-fix-your-leaking-site/">Fixing Leaking of Your Site</a> , <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/how-far-will-your-blog-graphic-design-could-bring-you/" title="http://www.techathand.net/how-far-will-your-blog-graphic-design-could-bring-you/">Graphic Design</a> , <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/my-top-5-picks-for-daily-blog-tips-writing-project/" title="http://www.techathand.net/my-top-5-picks-for-daily-blog-tips-writing-project/">Daily Blog Tips Project</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/rss-awareness-day/" title="http://www.techathand.net/rss-awareness-day/">RSS Awareness day</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/an-experience-with-digg/" title="http://www.techathand.net/an-experience-with-digg/">Digg Experience</a> and others. Whenever the site announced those who joined their Group Writing Projects, They will surely <strong>link back</strong> to you. Choose site which does not look like a spam site. Remember Google also penalize links to bad site.</li>
<li>All this writing project pertains to the subject of this blog. I am not just joining any writing project just to have back links. So when Google tries to visit those links and back links that I am receiving Google can tell that I am not just spamming.</li>
<li>By Increasing comment frequency to other blogs, they will surely visit your blog and if they are interested the will give you a link love. I don&#8217;t see any problem putting your best post at the links provided when signing, although some might find it spamming. Be sure it relates to the blog post that you are commenting.</li>
<li>Joining Groups and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/a-new-member-of-a-photography-forum-what-lens-do-i-need-to-buy/">forums</a> also helps you gain back links.</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/blogging-tips-advertise-your-blog-for-free/">Advertise your blog for free</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Here are other linking strategy that I made for this blog which I would like to share to all of you.</p>
<p><span id="more-527"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Make no-follow attribute to site which you think doesn&#8217;t need your link love.</li>
<li>Make your homepage to have all no-follow, Try to search for a plug-in for this one.</li>
<li>I have also made some tips regarding better way of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/effective-linking-with-your-old-post-in-10-steps/" title="http://www.techathand.net/effective-linking-with-your-old-post-in-10-steps/">linking to your old post</a>.</li>
<li>Make &#8220;me&#8221; rel Tag of all your social book marking site, See my footer to know what I mean.</li>
<li>Doing SEO without sacrificing the authority of the site, So the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/wordpress-plug-ins-off-topic-post-off-the-front-page/">homepage will not show any topics that does relate to my niche</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>I just hope that those above information will help you increase your <strong>back links</strong> and later <strong>increase your PR</strong>, As of today I have 1014 Blog reactions as shown in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://technorati.com/blogs/techathand.net" title="Technorati.com Home Page" rel="me">Technorati.com Home Page</a> this might not be very high but still good if you find it good don&#8217;t forget to sign in my feeds either thru <a rel="nofollow" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechDex" rel="nofollow">RSS Feed reader</a> or by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1188088&amp;loc=en_US" rel="nofollow">e-mail</a> <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://techathand.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/graphic-design.png" border="0" alt="Graphic Design" width="125" height="125" align="left" /> If you happen to visit different known sites both local and International, Can you recognize what do they have in common? What else but their Blog Design. Their blog theme is unique as well as their Blog Logo is unique. Their logo becomes their brand in the Internet. It is either they spend some money in redesigning their blog or somebody had generously sponsored in doing their blog design. Well this blog was blessed enough to have a blog make Over by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/my-new-wordpress-theme-by-weborithm/" target="_blank">Weborithm</a> as part of my prize on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/i-won-449-from-shoe-money-rss-contest/" target="_blank">Shoe VS John Chow contest</a>. I can say that my blog has a unique design , logo and theme.</p>
<p><span id="more-388"></span></p>
<h2>Now what is the importance of having a unique theme or Unique Graphic Design?</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Easy Recognition</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Whenever somebody <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/visitors-how-do-i-classified-you/" target="_blank">visit</a> your site from a search engine, usually it will have a 100% <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/can-blog-stats-increase-your-page-views-and-visitors/" target="_blank">bounce rate</a>, that means after seeing what they want at your site, they tend to check for some other exit links from your blog. You will be lucky if your visitors will roam around your site. What I am saying is if your site is constantly appearing in searching for some related keyword for your site, you are already building your readers trust in your Website and having a readers trust is having a regular visitors for your site. Just imagine if you have about 20 Website with the same layout. Readers will be confused on which blog he is visiting.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>First impression Last</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>I still believe in saying that first impression last. So if your first time visitors will not be impressed at your site, for sure there will be no <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=1188088&amp;loc=en_US" target="_blank">e-mail subscription</a> or <a href="http://techathand.net/feed/" target="_blank">RSS subscription</a>. They will not tend to come back even there are lots of good contents in your blog.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Your Graphic or Your Blog Design is your identity in the web. </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>So would you like to have a Multiple identity or just a single identity in web. Of course you want to be unique as much as possible if the budget permits it.</p>
<h2>Now What Type of Design is best in my Opinion ?</h2>
<p>I am a happy person and I believe your theme color should be using a light color I hate dark themes that is why when I got the chance for a make over I choose light blue. Dark colors seems to convey loneliness. [ <em>This is just my opinion</em> ] . A good site navigation is also an important factor for your design layout. You have to have an idea of helping your visitor to easily <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.techathand.net/blog-layout-changes-better-navigation/" target="_blank">navigate your site</a>.</p>
<h2>How Far Will Your Blog Graphic Design Could Bring You ?</h2>
<p>Well a <strong>good graphic design</strong> plus a <strong>good content</strong> will definitely bring good traffic and better branding in the net. See how far <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.problogger.net/about-problogger" target="_blank">Darren</a> and <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shoemoney.com/shoemoney-biography/" target="_blank">Jeremy</a> for International Blogs and <a rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/abe-olandres/">Abe</a> in Philippine blog now. Would you think without their graphic design brands, will they be known as unique? I don&#8217;t think so.</p>
<p>A believe that a unique graphic design gives prestige for a Website so if you have some earnings to spare why don&#8217;t you spend some for your blog design. Or continue joining contest until you win <img src='http://techathand.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Best of luck</p>
<p>Anybody can disagree in my mentioned opinion but be constructive.</p>
