Starting a Blog to Support Your Niche Sites

Niche sites on wordpress are all the rage. They are easy to build, and can easily make you good money, whether from adsense or an affiliate product. The key to the success of these sites is building links back to them. Starting a blog to support your main sites is a great way to build links.

You will probably look for a free blog platform when starting a blog to support your main site. There are a couple well known sites for this, such as blogger.com and wordpress.com, however, there are actually hundreds of this type of site online. It is a wise idea to spread out your network over a bunch of different platforms instead of keeping all of your support blogs in one place.

If you fail to spread out your network it can be catastrophic. The major downfall of using free blogging platforms when starting a blog is they have control over your sites. In fact, they own them. They can just delete your blog or you whole account for that matter whenever they want. It is very important to read the terms of service at each platform before you begin. You may find the TOS say you can not use the site to build a blog to use for linking back to another site. Even if the content is good, you may find this blog deleted anyway. This is especially true at wordpress.com.

So what do you write about when starting a blog for supporting another site? The exact same topic, same keywords? It’s best to do your support blogs about a wider niche, so you can include your keywords for your current site, but also so you can include keywords about other sites you may do in the future as well as other sites you like you might want to link to.

Anchor text links are the most important thing when it comes to starting a blog to support your main site. You must make sure all of your links pointing back to your main site are using your keywords as the anchor text. Anchor text simply means the words that get underlined that people click on in a link. Many people will use “click here” as the link text. This is wrong. This will do your site absolutely no good. You must have your keywords in that position.

Creating a support network for your niche sites is a great way to help them improve their search engine rankings. Starting a blog on a free platform is one of the easiest ways to get your support network started. It can seem overwhelming, but remember as you build this network it will be available to you to use on future sites as well.
