Establishing your blog as an authority in your niche can be a daunting prospect. This is particularly so if you are just starting out. The more authority you have the more people like Google will like you. Bear in mind that Google ranks the pages and posts in your blog and not in actual fact your overall blog.

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

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

The first is one of the easiest ways to start establishing your authority. It is to build incoming links through commenting. If you utilize a plugin called CommentLuv on your blog you will be able to leave comments on associated niche blogs that also have CommentLuv installed.

How do you locate a blog with this plugin. Easy as pie. Go to Google search engine, and do a search utilizing your keyword and specified operators.

If I was searching for blogs in the 'Panic Attacks' niche I would search for

panic attacks & "title="CommentLuv Enabled""

rather

"Enable CommentLuv" + panic attacks

You should be able to discover 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 write. If you make this a habit you will before long start to establish your links and, hence, your authority rank.

The second cute trick that you could use in your blog training and that will also conserve you hours and hours of blog promotion work is automating your social network notifications. Social networks allow you an chance to broadcast your posts to the world. Submitting your notifications one by one is not really 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 at no cost account at http://ping.fm
2. Add Social Networks using Options provided (this is the time consuming bit)
3. Make account on those networks that you are not a active member of yet, and attach them to the social network list for Posting
4. Install a new plugin PingPressFM using "Add New" option and activate it
5. Find API Key from ping.fm and add it to the Options of your plugin using Settings -> PingPressFM
6. Click on "Triggers" and set check for "Trigger Active" for each posting trigger you want to use.
7. Click "Update Options"

Bingo! That's all there is to it. Every time you post or construct a page on your blog the plugin will give out a notification to ping.fm using 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 functions a treat and, when set up, will grow your reputation without thinking about it.

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