In part one of "The UV SEO Series", I introduced the series. In part two, I wrote about having one website address. In part three, I wrote about internal linking strategies. In part four, I emphasized meta descriptions and meta tags. In part five, I introduced keywords, keyword density and keyword placement ideas. I began with offsite SEO in part 6 with the backlink format. Although I could continue this series forever, I'm going to conclude it today with backlink sources. I plan to start the next and subsequent series with narrowly focused topics.

In part one of "The UV SEO Series", I introduced the series. In part two, I wrote about having one website address. In part three, I wrote about internal linking strategies. In part four, I emphasized meta descriptions and meta tags. In part five, I introduced keywords, keyword density and keyword placement ideas. It's time to move on to offsite SEO by starting with the format of a link, commonly called a backlink because it links back to another site and not internally.

There's a reason I chose to build up my legion of Noble UV Minions the way I decided to do it (See "How to Become a Noble UV Minion and Like it".). I don't like repeating myself. I don't want to send out a separate email message, even if it is to a mailing list, for something that I've already written. Especially when the original material is automatically sent out every day.

I'm surprised that more people haven't taken me up on my offer. (The original offer still stands and will continue to stand. See "How to Become a Noble UV Minion and Like it".). I have more blog review requests coming out of my yin-yang than I can handle, but this is a far easier way to get backlinks. I just don't understand.

Although the original article was written in a "tongue-in-cheek" kind of way, I was totally serious about providing free links. Oh well, if you don't take me up on my offer, it's your loss.

As a website owner, you should be worried when someone scrapes all or part of the content of one of your pages. If you're not familiar with it, the Copyscape service is one way to find them and start the elimination process. There is a procedure, which you can do for free (Copyscape charges for more than 10 searches per month) over and over again, that will never cost you anything.

I'm going to answer the question that "Barack Obama" (not the real one, of course) left as a comment on my article about Backlink Building with DoFollow Blogs and the CommentLuv WordPress Plugin, "So how does allowing dofollow backlinks help your blog?", by referencing other articles and comments.

Have you ever sold a blog? Are you thinking of selling one? What do you expect from the sale? What does the buyer expect? Questions and more questions. I can answer a few of the questions in my own inimitable way, but I can't answer all of them because I've never sold a blog nor do I ever intend to do so.

TopOfBlogs is my second discovery in as many days. I have already registered this blog with them and I'll try to explain why I like the service.

TopOfBlogs is in a beta status, so a few things may change as time progresses.

This is the first of two blogs that Manas Kabiraj asked me to review. "Generate FreeTraffic Online Money Paid to Review Blogging Tips Promotion & Marketing" must be the longest blog title I have ever seen. This should probably give you an idea which way this review is going to go.

Are you one of the many bloggers that never takes advantage of tools that are freely made available to you, in order to promote your blog articles? If you are, feel free to slap yourself around.

"BloggingZoom", which hasn't been around for very long, was designed with you in mind. Yes, you! While other social websites frown on self-submissions (and may even ban you), the founders of BloggingZoom encourage it. Who's the better judge of an article you wrote, you or someone else? Who makes the determination that your article is "zoom-worthy"?

Every time I go to BloggingZoom, I see pretty much the same bloggers submitting their articles (duh, including me). The amount of people using this free service is minuscule compared to the amount of bloggers there are out there. Why are you allowing us to hog all the glory?

By using BloggingZoom, you not only gain visitors (some will convert to regular visitors), but every single post submitted will appear on search engines and point back to the original post. That's a free backlink, baby! Anyone who doesn't want free backlinks, raise your hand. Ha! I thought so.

Do you want to make your blog more popular? Use this free service to your advantage. You know you want to, so just do it!
